VENT Vent Thread: Eagles at Rams

[OntarioRam]

You're highlighting my point - it's a perception based out of emotion not fact or logic.

2017 - 11-5; playoffs
2018 - 13-3; SB participant
2019 - 9-7, missed the playoffs
2020 - 10-6; NFC Divisional Game participant
2021 - 12-5; SB win
2022 - 5-12; missed the playoffs
2023 - 10-7; playoffs

This is an average of exactly 10 wins per year.
Only one losing season.
5 out of 7 they made the playoffs.

The above record is more consistent than pretty much every other team but the Chiefs and 9ers.

Devils advocate: Fisher also gets to around 10 wins per year with this roster and a healthy Stafford. His Rams teams had way less weapons and played every year with their backup QB due to Bradford missing every season. McVay is the better Coach but I think some are a bit bias with him. The offense actually looks pretty stale right now. All that money invested in it. Elite QB. 2 very good WRs. With a supposed offensive wiz we should be doing way, way better. O-line is good enough. Nothing special but good enough. We are far and away the worst Q1 offense in the NFL. Opening drives are often pretty scripted. Tell me again, folks, how McVay doesn't also get his fair share of the blame?

Corum was arguably the best RB in the class coming out of college. We are going to completely alienate him. All he does is run well when given a chance, and yes, also do well in pass pro as a rookie. Shows good burst. But cannot even get reps in garbage time. When his RB1 is fumbling non stop, has for 2 years now, and has no breakaway speed. I like KW. But almost every other backfield in the NFL is a time share and Corum can't even get crumbs? Big brain move, Sean...

We were up 7 to 3 and 7 to 6 and were stopping them from scoring TDs. So it wasn't a huge killer, but we needed those points in the end.

Yeah it may have been a different game if we get 7 that first drive. Unfortunately we'll never know. But he put the ball on the ground twice. In a huge and physical game that had a playoff type atmosphere.

Completely unacceptable.

The entire team looked tired, and the lack of motivation was noticable.The overall effort was dogshit. We shouldn’t be this bad.

Fisher would consistently be 8-9 or 9-8 with our roster, with an offense that scores 12 points per game.

No way he would survive with the OL injuries we've had. We're biased with McVay because of the consistent results I posted above. Fisher was consistently mediocre. The comparison is laughable.

There are some points we agree on. I agree the offense looks stale. I feel McVay needs to make some changes to his scheme.

But I also think you're overstating our offensive talent. We have an elite QB and one very good WR. This is not a popular opinion here, but I don't feel Kupp is very good anymore. He's good but no longer elite. The OL hasn't been ok due to injuries. The RB is good overall but has a fumbling problem and lacks breakaway speed, like you mentioned. The backup RB is OK, but I don't think he has Kyren's vision and he also lacks breakaway speed. We probably should play him more of the KW's fumbling issue, but I don't see it significantly elevating the offense. The TEs are meh.

We need an infusion of young, fast talent in offense.

That’s all folks.
