1) Wasn't excited about a game being played in Australia

2) Wasn't excited about this game, knowing the way the Rams typically play against SF.

3) After Stafford's first pass attempt (that was nearly intercepted), I figured it would be like last year - start slow, but really hit their stride later

4) Stafford was horrible all game, the D had trouble tackling and was picked apart - not a good look.

Notes:
- please stop complaining about Whittington and ko returns. With the new ko rules, no team looks good returning a ko.

- I'm going back to the Ty Simpson thread to watch you guys discuss the nuances about how/why he's not ready.
:p
After what we saw from Stafford last night, does it really matter?

The posts about Shula playing 78 percent zone last night are telling. Same shit when Raheem was here. I think McVay dictates this scheme. He is about the most conservative mf'er in the league.

I'm thinking McVay just needs to focus on defining the 'culture' which is supposed to be so wonderful and let some capable coordinators call the plays during the games.

It was still a game at the half, then the fucking halftime show. Nothing says kick ass like the thunderous and raucus sound of the Jonas Brothers. Maybe some AC/DC or G and R, something with some edge to it at least.

I would hope they checked all that out, but who knows?

Would be interesting if his physical showed anything that may have been pooh-poohed at the time.
You know, a thirty year old that plays in the trenches is not going to be completely unmarred type of mindset
from the evaluators of said physical.
Or did the RAMS just get lucky and this 'swelling' only started after he was brouht to LA?

It wasn't a loss, it was an annihilation. Didn't get the play calling. Why throw a short pass over the middle against Warner on the first play? Why? Why sit back on Defense and let the niners screen all first half? Why? Niners have the same game plan Every single game they play us and we're always surprised. Defense is not playing 11 as one at all and some adjustments are needed.

It sucks, to be honest. Never feels good to lose this badly to a rival when you're heavily favored.

Short memory, move to the next game, don't take any shit for granted.

That was my second choice. I had several RAMS from that print. Meador, Richie Petitbon, Merlin, Pardee, Maxie Baughan, Clancy Williams, Deacon, Tom Mack, Lester Josephson, GABE, Jack Snow, Truax, Dick Bass, Bob Brown, Ken Iman.

Once again, the Rams are flat in the season opener. I blame the coaches especially McVay and Shula along with whoever the special teams coach is now. This team was flat and the players need to step up and be offended by this lackluster performance. They just got punched in the F**king mouth, now how are they going to respond? Are they going to stand up and fight or lay down and die? This shit happens to all of us in life it is called character-building moments.

Well, that was a big, juicy shit sandwich. A long trip back home to digest that one!
 
sucks we burn a home game in freaking Australia. Not much of a home game. That being said, Niners got it right flying in a week early. We looked tired and disinterested. Week 1 in general are wonky and getting to Australia 28 hours before kick off was not the right decision. Lets hope this is the worst game they play this year.

I think after the first failed drive by the Rams I knew it was over. I still had hope but could see how much faster the 9ers were getting to the ball. The Rams were tired and worn out after a 15 hour plus flight.
Well McVay you can put that practice to bed. And also you can put to bed your stubborn stance on not playing starters in the pre season. Just dumb IMO. How many seasons do we have to start by losing games we should win.

Yeah, if your opener is against a division foe, you have to be ready because of all the tie-breaker implications resulting from a loss.
Starters need some game action prep time, even if it just a half in the second or third exhibition.

Next week will be the true test....the Giants from a talent perspective are a team who could be anywhere between the 24th to the 12th best team in the league this year.....middle of the pack. We don't need to win by 30, but the game should not be in doubt in the second half.

I'm still so bullish on this team....but I am coping with last night and need some positivity, so I'll put this out here now. Based on next week, we'll see. But here goes..

Giants - W
@Broncos - L
@Eagles - L
Bills - W
Cardinals - W
@Raiders - W
Chargers - W
@Commodes - W
@Cardinals - W
Packers - W
Chiefs - W
@Niners - W
Cowboys - W
@Seahawks - L
@Bucs - W
Seahawks - W

1-3 start, panic everywhere, finish 13-4
