Getting timing and rhythm takes time.
This was a rust game.
Not worried at all.
Especially with Donald out and Garrett clearly not all there.
The big concern is whether Garrett has a knee issue that will shut him down.
The other big concern is the defensive scheme which is not aggressive at all. You simply can’t rush 4 all day and sit in zone. The QB get his timing down and into a rhythm.
It’s a carry over from last year of a defensive philosophy that needed to be blown up because it’s rotten at the core.
Then there is the special teams. Whittington has no speed why in the hell do we settle for mediocrity.

I still believe we will win it all this year....I truly think this was the travel. It's an easy read because the receivers didn't get separation, Stafford was bad, Garrett invisible, OL allowed pressure to a bad pass rush, we fumbled, had a false start, a roughing the passer.....just uncharacteristic stuff and in totality it actually makes it less concerning because there's no way that's all legit just players falling off.
It was the travel plan and I'll admit, I bought into it. But McVay was wrong on this one

It is every DCs dream to rush 4 and drop 7. One tiny problem with that. The 4 you are rushing need to control the LOS. Didnt quite happen last night.

I hope you're right about that part because it was really bad. The Rams got bitch slapped over and over last night. It was so fucking embarrassing. Now we get the pleasure of their fans gloating like their team is the next great one. The need to return the favor in the rematch. Lastly, stop playing that soft cushion zone bullshit. Thought we got the secondary help to man up a bit more to allow the D line to get home?
For as bad as we looked, this vent thread is pretty tame.
I haven’t felt this embarrassed of a loss in a long time. Losing wasn’t the issue as much as the how and what we looked like doing it.

We looked like a team that was tired. Even the coaches on the sideline. ZERO energy. Dazed.
We looked like a team that didn’t play in preseason. Stafford wasn’t sharp. The whole team wasn’t sharp.
We looked like a team that spent less time than the 49’ers game planning. The 49’ers had a plan to attack us. I don’t know what we had.
We didn’t make any halftime adjustments. 2nd half looked like the 1st, but worse.
Whittington is not a KR. Dude is slow and has no wiggle. Stop this now!
Would the game have been different if played in the US? We’ll never know but the overseas game, week 1, against a key rival was a garbage schedule decision.
Positives:
- Blake Corum
- Week 1 is a good week to get humbled if you think you are a SB team

Not even mad.
The Rams decision to fly in was downright negligent and we should all just feel fortunate that nobody got hurt.
The team and coaching staff was completely gassed by the 2nd half.
On to Cincinnati….

Rams hit the trifecta for me last night.
- The Offense was not crisp and IMO, they should have stuck with the run more.
- The Defense seem to struggle, it could have been far worse, but the 49ers dropped a few passes that ended their drives.
- They lost to the team I hate the most and now every 49er fan are thinking they are winning the Super Bowl and who knows, they might be right.
BTW the DC we bitched about for years called one hell of a game last night.
I don't know what to say. Aside from a couple of guys... the whole team sucked. The game plan sucked, and the coaching sucked. But the worst part for me was seeing the fucking whiners dinking and dunking all day against the soft zone defense that McVay seems to prefer. We thought it was Raheem but I'm starting to think it is McVay. If wasn't the whiners paying soft-ass zone last night Why leave the defense out there for long drives and then watch the other team kick a field goal (or worse) after a long drive? Eventually the D gets gassed! I think this is one of the reasons why AD retired... he was tired of fighting O-linemen all day long only to have the QB throw an easy 10 yard pass for a first down.
We have been drooling at the thought of having Mcduffie, Garrett, and finally AD on our super team with the highest-rated offense against an injury-plagued, old, whiner team and they dominated us.
Sorry boys and girls... I am having a hard time getting over this one.

Lake still can't cover anybody albeit the interception. Kick coverage units were fucking horrible, still. Returns provide no spark. Garrett was a no show. Speights looked fucking lost when he was on the field. Watson didn't look any better than the shit we trotted out last year. Byron Young, hay, there was a game last night, where did you go? McVay got outcoached again by Shanny and Shula once again he showed he is an amateur d coordinator. There was a lot of bad shit to decipher from last night. Still, just 1 game, offense looked like shit in last years opener too.
I concur it sucks and it's making me actually rethink the Garrett deal because he seems hurt and has not been healthy since they acquired him. I truly hope this does not linger all year. This is the last team any of us wanted to lose to, so we are all pissed.
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

If Garrett ends up being Gurley 2.0, Snead is going to be feeling some serious heat, given what he gave up for him.
