Martz might have wasted timeouts, but McVay did worse tonight.
And I've NEVER seen Martz call a game this bad.
Literally anyone could have had a better gameplan than McVay tonight.

This is the kind of loss that wiped keep us out if the playoffs and it is all on the coach

it was a bad night... but no one thought we had a playoff team this year.... most of the world thought we were going to be complete garbage.

nearly everyone had this game as a loss... win next week and we are okay.

Has anybody else noticed that the Rams have not had any breaks since the SB. It sure feels like that though. am I right.

 

[RhodyRams]

oh.. and retire the fucking blueberries... haven't won a game in them yet

 

[Ram_Rally]

oh.. and retire the fucking blueberries... haven't won a game in them yet

They've won exactly one. But yeah they're ugly

 

[OregonRamsFan]

My stomach feels ill after that game we woulda coulda shoulda won. This almost felt scripted for the bengals. It was that bad. I’m back to thinking we probably are a 5-12 team again after feeling positive last week we weren’t.

 

[majrleaged]

NFL Network suggesting the timeout that the Bengals called on the Higbee TD pass was actually late.... seems to be the trend with this game, getting screwed at every turn.

It was late. I saw it. I think the NFL wants us to go away till next year. They already have their sweet hearts picked out.

If Goff played like Stafford tonight McVay would be roasting his balls over the fire

 

[Marc Spector]

This is the first time im outright calling for McVays job. i think hes a good coach but i think he has reached his peak in terms of growth and willingness to change. Tonight he showed that he will never believe in asserting the offense in the trenches. Hes always had the annoying habit of abandoning the run early but tonight was inexcusable. After the success of week 1 with Kyren, the fact the Bengals are bad defending the run, the fact that Matthew needs to stay upright as much as possible to maximize this year AND next...and he refuses to run the ball??

wait you want him fired?

oh boy here it comes.

It's true though.

But one of the great things about the trade is that he can no longer hide his failures by pinning them on the QB. Stafford wasn't great tonight by any means, but this loss is not on him. Not even close.

 

[Marc Spector]

calling for his job was maybe too strong but tonight was the first straw for me wanting him gone. Next year will obviously be a big year for him but when i see how we are trending im not optimistic. Even with a strong draft class/strong draft pick, i currently dont have faith in McVay to reinvent himself and field a dominant team going forward. As we currently stand i see a possible future of playoff appearances (assuming we hit on all future talent and development) but unless McVay has a real come to jesus moment, i currently cant see the Rams contending for Super Bowls for the remainder of his tenure

 

[Antonius]

I feel like Orlando Pace right now at his age could suit up and have better footwork than Thomas tonight

Hell Jackie Slater could do it too

But here’s the thing - it’s not his fault he was out there - it’s the coaches that wouldn’t make a change

Yes the man won a Super Bowl. Yes it was idiotic to not move Noteboom to LT!!! We just fucking paid the man! You’re telling me he can’t takeover the position at all anymore??

#57 is the best we have for one of the most important positions in football??

I gotta question the intentions of the coaching staff for moves like this

i mean stafford threw one bad pass.... and took one bad sack.

The 2nd half he had no chance.... stafford didnt have a good game.. but people overblowing his performance tonight.

Agree to an extent. Stafford has always had these kinds of games. He has a few a year. Even our Superbowl run had some ugly Stafford games. But Mcvay didn't put him in a good position this game.

It was definitely the dreaded blueberries!

Sort of reminded me of that game where Martz tried to get Jay Cutler killed on national TV.

McVay went full Martz tonight, and everybody knows, you never go full Martz.

 

[dieterbrock]

Disgusted by the play calling tonight, the loss is totally on McVay
Hung the QB out to dry, wasted a solid effort by the D.
And fuck Joe Burrow and his panzy ass calf

 

[dpjax]

But really, it felt like McVay was playing right into their hands on offense. Weren’t the Bengals one of the lowest rated teams against the run coming into this game?
