Where to start with the Big Picture when talking to passionate Ram fans?

I guess to point out that this is the second consecutive road game that would have been a loss by previous Ram teams, yet THIS team found ways to win them both.

Wasn’t McVay’s best called game. He’s already admitted that. I suspect that he will be less likely to repeat the same mistakes in the future.

Certainly wasn’t Goff’s best game, either. Perfect games are rare for a reason.

Clearly, opposing teams are trying to get a handle on controlling this Ram O juggernaut. Opposing coaches are getting better and better at taking things away and they’re trying everything. This will be a continuing process and we best get used to it.

Just for perspective, the Rams faced multiple challenges vs Broncos.

Altitude. Don’t underestimate this one, y’all.
Injuries
Questionable calls and non-calls by the zebras.
Cold
Away game before a very hostile crowd.
A Bronco D focused on taking away the Ram pass.

Ram run D was great, huh? This was against a top 5 running team, mind you. That impressed me.

Our edge rush is inadequate. Not gonna sugarcoat it. Good enough to win regular season games, yeah. But probably NOT good enough to win in the playoffs. Gulp...

I’m in the camp that thinks that McVay called plenty of runs. Have to pass enough to keep D’s honest. 270 yards on the ground, including scrambles? C’mon...

Enough with these damned injuries, already. They’re the one thing that can truly beat us.

Love the chemistry on this team. Everybody has bonded, including coaches. Very heartwarming.

I’m still holding out hope that Snead will make a move to bring in an edge rusher before the deadline.

Reynolds needs to improve on his route running and it’s not the long suit for Hodge, either.

All told, it wasn’t all that pretty but a win is a win. We’ve been spoiled by this team and these coaches. Lol.

The best way to control this offense is run the ball yourself.
The model tbe Raiders played the first half of week 1 is pretty good.
They don't have the talent to sustain it however.
