VENT Vent Thread—get in here!!!

And there we go. McVay in the presser blaming it on EXECUTION. SMH at this guy, he needs to wake the fuck up.

It was TOTALLY execution.
And I would start with executing no boom.

A lot of Rams fans wanted Limmer & Dedich to start over Jackson and Avila -- it can take at least a couple of games to get in football shape McVay knows this Genuis move McVay

I have a feeling we will not see jonah jackson at center next week.

 

[99Balloons]

McVay got out coached by a mediocre Mike McDaniels. WTF with rushing three injury prone OL guys who did not even play in the preseason and never had any chemistry, communication or consistency to begin with? That decision is solely on McVay.

Rams might be better finding a new coach who’s more innovative and daring than McVay. It seems like the Fish knew exactly what the Rams were doing before the snap. And other teams are noticing the telltale signs.

This is worse than the Linehan or Spagnolo play calling years where the OL got trucked and steamrolled like pancakes in a griddle. And McVay must go.

This dolphins team on paper were a 10 win team easy before Tua got hurt. They are looking like it now in last 3 games and might go on a run and make the playoffs. Us, well long battle unless the rest of our division keeps losing.

I don't see it. The Dolphins don't look that good to me.
The Rams shot themselves in the foot time after time. No off sides and we get that FG. That blob Jackson does not sail it over Staffords head, more points. Rozzenboom should have had that pick.
Our O line was out of whack. For a team without much of a pass rush they got to our QB a lot.
Just how many sacks has Limmer given up ?
This game was mostly about the O line not looking like themselves. I was worried about it with 3 new guys all of a sudden. And 2 of them could have played.
Its just a lot to ask all at once for those guys to play like a cohesive unit.

You shouldn’t derail what is working. We need wins right now. Don’t have time to get guys back into football shape.

The Dolphins played harder, among a few other issues, but the Rams didnt deserve to win. My fear was the more desperate team was going to be hard to beat.

On the brightside, this defense has the potential to be special. Add a few more pieces and this could be a top 7 defense next year.

My hope now is get these young guys experience, keep Stafford healthy, finish with a decent record (9-8) so they stay competitive, and then next year this could be a real contender. I think we can all agree that this just isn't the year for multiple reasons. Very young, hamstrung by early injuries, and maybe just not good enough yet talent wise.

Mcvay has not gotten the offense going this year on a consistent basis - which is his territory.

"McVay must go"

Now that's a hot take!

 

[DzRams]

Line play aside. The piece that is missing from this offense is the TE. Now I am not complaining about Verse, love the kid but there is a reason they wanted Bower so bad. Higbee was a big part of the offense and these other guys havent really stepped up in his abscence.

We need a WR or RB that can provide explosive plays. Would a TE add that explosive element or just be more of the possession receiver type?

 

[Kupped]

I don’t get how McVay’s teams can vary so wildly in performance.

 

[Ellard80]

We have not been able to run the ball like we could last year either.

That hasn't helped.

 

[fearsomefour]

Embarrassing amateur hour loss.
I can't remember one broken tackle by any player on offense.
Williams fumble was brutal. Maybe the worst game of Williams career.
The entire OL was bad. Jackson got crispyfied a few times at LT.
Limmer found a way to contribute by turning a 52 yard made FG into a 57 yard miss.
Noteboom was bad.
J Jackson is a jag to me. A very overpaid one. Maybe rusty and that would be understandable, but, he doesn't look like a difference maker.
The Rams come out with the first possession of the third quarter and put together a nice drive mixing the run and pass to get deep into Dolphins territory.....high snap, flag, sack.....just pathetic.
Stafford misses an open Williams for a likely TD when he was right in front of him.
The D is not the problem.
The O is the issue.
Slow and bad starts week after week after week.
Rams need to win four of the next five (depending on what the Cards and Whiners do).
With the Pats, Eagles, Saints, Bills and Whiners, that is a tall order.
The cards are in first place in the West and the Rams are in third.....both are where they deserve to be.

All you have to do is look at the plays TuTu was on the field tonight. Changes the entire dynamic, resulted in big chunks gained regularly.

 

[dpjax]

Ugh

 

[JBRam77]

I see an 8 win team here. Even if we sneak in at 9-8 (which is not likely) this team is a one and done in the playoffs. Way too inconsistent. We need more speed on this offense and better coaching and Line play. We are the most average team in the league

 

[DzRams]

I agree. But I'm wondering if they should blow up the offense and remake it in the mold of the defense: young, fast, and hungry?

The offense feels stale and I think it's more than just bad OL play.

 

[RAMSinLA]

I think this season is done folks. I should have been tipped off when Donald retired. The injuries were too many to overcome.

Williams fumble was bad.. but he ran well and broke several tackles in the second half.
If Jackson doesn’t snap the ball over Stafford’s head.. who knows what happens on that drive. Changed everything.

 

[fearsomefour]

Miami's offensive line was bad too. The difference is that Hill, waddle, and Achane had explosive plays to make up for it.

I don't remember one missed tackle by a Rams player all night.

 

[Dodgersrf]

Karty was great and the defense was good enough to win

I totally agree.
