Yup, 2 stupid calls screwed the Rams.

McVay should had just kicked the extra point instead of going for 2 pts after that 4th quarter TD. The Rams would of had a 2 point lead and even after a Buffalo TD, the Rams another TD, they would of had just a 5 or 6 point lead. A TD and extra point would have won the game in regulation for the Rams.

Secondly, on the 3rd and 5 before the OT field goal, why are you running the ball? You're not going to get a first down and you need at least another 7-10 yards to be in field goal range for Mevis. That 3rd down play should have been a pass to try and get a first down.

The sorry special teams play and McVay's play calling on these 2 plays cost the Rams the game/

Can you imagine.. instead of Tutu and Mumpfield or Whittington… if they had drafted a couple of explosive athletes with decent size?
An athletic LB?
Explosive RB?

Those kinds of athletes on teams?

Could’ve easily added all 4 of those things.

All you should really need from your special teams as for them to not be a liability. It’s great if you have a plus special teams, but the baseline is not be a fucking liability. And for the last several seasons, we can’t even do that. How many times does special teams have to kick McVay in the fucking face before he figures his shit out?

Until he’s tired of being kicked in the face, I reckon…

I mean, they HAVE to release Mevis today, don't they? McVay has to show there is a price for this colossal FU. He has to go. How do you face the team after this without doing SOMETHING in regard to ST.?

Eventually you lose the team. This game, I fear, is going to be more costly than they realize. This is one that takes a toll.

From that article. Look at these charts. It captures a teams commitment to STs. Sorry it's not clearer, but the gist is both the Packers & Rams, under LaFleur & McVay do not prioritize STs.

Here we go with the Explosive RB stupid shit again! You realize we are 2nd in the league for Explosive plays by Running backs in the NFL?

Instead of wasting all that money on TUTU last year, Mumpfield, or Jwhitt, They could have kept Kupp, Ben skowronek, and Got another Soild Linebacker. Hell Reeder is Better than all these Dumbasses on Special Teams!

McVay couldn't control Fassel like he needed to so he was booted.

When I was a small child, I remember seeing a wolf hybrid for sale outside a Kmart. I begged my dad to bring it home. He explained that it had wolf in it, that wolves weren't meant to be pets, and that no matter how tame one appeared, you could never completely trust it not to bite.

That childhood memory came rushing back in 2019, during the Rams final game at the Coliseum, when Bones called that disastrous fake punt against Arizona deep in Rams territory.

Watching McVay's reaction, and what appeared to be the reaction of players on the sideline, I couldn't help but wonder whether Bones had crossed a line and undermined McVay’s authority.

My thought at the time was that McVay might never fully trust Bones not to bite him again.

And that's the tragedy of it. Bones was an exceptional special teams coach, but I suspect that moment may have fractured something that couldn't be repaired.

Nearly seven years later, I still don't believe our special teams have consistently returned to the standard we enjoyed under Bones.

Sometimes losing trust costs an organization far more than losing a coach. Last night's loss is as bad as any hangover I've had. GO RAMS! oof!

The players play the game, and the coaches make the decisions quite frankly this loss falls squarely on the coaches. Someone please explain to me why the clock was not running when the Rams lined up for the field goal attempt in OT.

Who can we bring in as kicker and punter options?
Click to expand...


I think we need to trade. Dicker (sad that we originally had him) or another good kicker from a bad team. See what punter we could get too. I'd trade draft capital, I don't care....fix this shit. Same for a good return man. I don't care if we trade every draft pick that we have next year to get it done.

We would be close to undefeated and Super Bowl champs over the last two years if we just had fucking league average special teams. Get it done

The Rams put up 400 yards and 34 points....that would have been 40 if fat fuck could make a kick.
Hard to bash him too much.
