Everyone should read this. Garrett still had Elite "get-off" in this game. Nothing wrong with him, whole team had "blah's" from the trip. This game will be remembered as a "popcorn-fart" when we are playing late January.

Myles Garrett’s rebound is going to be hell for Jaxson Dart and Giants | Turf Show Times https://share.google/F6pOeU5pLh7XUdEFC

This was the fourth time in Garrett’s career that he recorded no tackles and no sacks, but it doesn’t mean that he was sluggish. In fact, Garrett recorded a get-off of 0.59 seconds, per Next Gen Stats, which isn’t just “elite”.

It’s more elite than elite.

Garrett, the NFL’s top pass rusher, had a get-off of .70 seconds in 2025. This was significantly quicker than that. Likely one of the best marks of his career for a single game.
Again, well true, Garrett himself in the post game interview talked about his knee injury.
““When I was out there I was a little more focused on myself and trying to stay healthy than what they were doing, and it showed,” Garrett said.
That’s alarming. And unusual. Typically, players don’t play if concerns about their health become a distraction to the task at hand. It’s fair to wonder why Garrett played — and why the Rams didn’t intervene and stop him from playing.

I think the travel plans did affect the players. Theoretically all the data might have lead McVay to make this call, but sitting or laying around for 14 hrs is not natural. Plus, just because the team made fantastic arrangements to make the players comfortable Devante said he is not much of a sleeper on the plane. I'm sure he isn't alone. Add to that the known effects not playing in the preseason and in hindsight I can see why this game turned into a blowout.

Yes the whiners pulled out the same old game plan and so did the Rams but, the lack of intensity, the slow response by the D to what they saw, Stafford looking rustier than usual in the 1st game of the season, I think the travel plans just made things worse than normal.

The good news is the Rams should recover from the trip in time to play a good game next sunday.
 
The travel strategy coulda been the problem. Or not playing any in the preseason. Or they were just beat by Shanahan again.

I couldn't care less how many more games. The Rams are making it easy for me to walk away.
Too much of the same and not much fun.
Since 2017 ...
10+ wins on average per-season
competing for a playoff-spot in 8-of-9 years
7 playoff appearances
10 playoff wins
3 Conference Championships
2 Super Bowls
1 Lomabrdi
tons of high-profile, prime-time games
2nd-best team in the NFL the past two seasons
exciting 2026 off-season

Yeah ... That's Not much FUN at all!

I swear, many of the posts the past few days have been pathetic ... some of you guys should be ashamed because, as bad as the Rams performed on Thursday, many of the recent ROD posts (the Forum's performance), has been Much WORSE.

Some people don’t settle for mediocrity. We are too seasoned of a team to be a bunch of pushovers. I don’t understand what the problem is? We got a cheat code of a team and nothing to actually show for it. Its quite concerning.

It’s week 1, every single team has nothing to show for their season.

We have been down this road before. All of us.

On page 210 of Rams / NFL Talk, there's a Vent Thread from 2021.
That thread started right after the Rams lost to the Packers to close-out a winless month of November.

Take a look at it; and read some of your posts from that thread. Learn from past mistakes. Don't repeat them.
 
The Myles Garrett injury has me very concerned about this season and beyond. If that knee is bad, this could derail the Rams for more than just this season. Currently, that is my only concern. BTW if that was an issue, Garret should have be clean about that prior to the trade.
I take it you believe Garrett didn’t have to pass a physical to consummate the trade?

I’m confident that he did.

Not just you Den. I’ve seen a bunch of posts with this narrative. Not for me.

When I said this?

No we can't be fixed because we have no identity. Just a bunch of names on a team
Like a Madden game where the dude has all the best players but is AFK the entire game


Man what a jerk I was back in 2021

I was thinking about this one ...
"I am looking past the players now at this point, and more of the coaching. McVay has taken us on a roller coaster ride. I would rather see Goff with Greg Olsen again just to prove a point."
