Silver linings?

Last night was Matthew Stafford's highest yardage total EVER as a Ram. 389 yards, 3 TD's, zero INT.

And running game hummed along at over 5 yards a carry (Kyren and Corum combined for 15 carries for 78 yards).

So to my eye, the offense looks efficient and with a ton of weapons and potential.

Kyren's fumble? Corum's fumble? Shula unable to counter the 49er short passing game? Blackburn unable to coach blocking? IMO Shula and Blackburn deserve more blame than McVay last night.

Both the offense and defense have all the tools they need. And ST will be okay as long as Blackburn can prevent blocked kicks. Yes, last night was shitty and disappointing, but I think the Rams will bounce back and remain in the thick of the playoff chase.
 
McVay has 4 division titles to Shanny 3.... 604 winning % to 547 for Shanahan.

McVay with a better post-season record and a Super Bowl.

Shanny has head-to-head against McVay... but in every other major measurable W-L category McVay has him beat.

Well, yeah, I did say Shanny is a choker in the postseason, which I don't think that applies to McVay. The only postseason game where I thought he really shit the bed was the SB against the Pats, but even in the other losses we've had in the postseason, I really don't think you could fault McVay too much. He certainly wasn't the one who blew the block against Philly last year.

So yeah, Shanny has him head to head, but in no other way.

It's just GD frustrating, because in a lot of those losses, last night included, we had the more talented team.

And to add ... I so fucking hate the 9ers.
 
Ratboy is a QB killer. How many starting QBs has he had in SF? McVay has had 2, they both happen to be #1 over all picks. Ratboy traded up for the QB he wanted and broke him just like he broke RGME back in the day.

All great points. But I fucking detest losing to SF.
