Listen fellow Rams fans, I have come to a realization. We have been given it all since McVay took over. All except a Lombardi anyways...
We have had a league best offense.
We current sport a league best defense.
We have had an elite special teams unit in every aspect other than returners.
This defense is special. It is fun to watch. It brings me great joy to see the camaderie that those guys have; the love for each other and the game that drives them. Selfless.
We, not me.
The struggles on offense (o-line) are due to the choices that were made in obtaining the talent needed to field a defense like this. Sacrifices have to be made somewhere. McVay knows that Jared is a pocket passer, but Jared is actually quite good at throwing on the run so McVay schemed it up.
Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, something hurt Jareds confidence which in turn made the offense anemic more often than not. Those turnovers were killer in the regular season.
Jared found something last night. Let's hope that whatever it was stays with him. Don't forget the young man that led us to a win against the chiefs on MNF....or the young man who led us to NFC champions against a really good saints team in enemy territory where the DB's were loud enough to make a dog vomit. He is still there.
Thankfully, the run game has found its stride. What we saw yesterday is the way to win a superbowl.
Remember when peeps were saying McVay was figured out? That he wouldn't/couldn't change his identity? That he gave up on the run too early? While that may be true to an extent at certain points in time...look at the team that played yesterday. McVay is an incredibly intelligent and humble man. He's the type to change with what's needed. We are soooo lucky peeps.
Here is my main point—let's just enjoy this playoff run. 3 out of 4 isn't bad peeps. Fans have short memories...let's live in the moment for now!
Love
