Again, I’m going to put this on McVay. With every DC he’s had we play that stupid, maddening and absolutely worthless soft zone shit against the 9ers and get the same fucking results. And it doesn’t matter who they have behind center and who their WRs are. Nick Fucking Mullins was able to beat a loaded Rams D going against that scheme.

There is one constant in all of those games, and it’s not the DC.

BTW the DC we bitched about for years called one hell of a game last night.

He didn’t call those same types of games when he was here though. Against the 9ers, he routinely called the same kind of games Shula called last night.

Sean needs to get the fuck out of the DC room.
 
Okay, here's my best shot STAB at a rationalization at what the major problem was last night.

Rams and McVay are on the cutting edge flying WEST TO EAST, whether its a Europe game, or a 10AM West Coast time Eastern U.S. game. Great record, advice sought out by other Head Coaches including UCLA HC.

This game here was an EAST TO WEST game, something that very RARELY happens to a West Coast team (Has it EVER happened?)

Is this the reason the travel plan completely backfired or am i just seeking a way of coping for the next 10 days til we get a chance to redeem? Because, Im definitely blaming the travel for the lethargy last night. Stafford's lowest point output and 2nd lowest QB rated game as a Ram.

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.
They dink and dunk us every fucking time and there is never a change in how we defend it. I swear to God that McVay just surrenders certain games. Happened with Morris and even more so with Shula.

Stafford and offense looked like shit last year game 1. Do our one's even scrimmage during training camp. Always look lost early in the season.

Rams always shit down their leg on nationally televised games against those picks. Last night was no different. I'm glad we won't have to hear about how good this team is going fwd. They are NOT who we thought they were. Hard to see them winning more than a game over the next 4. 1-4 to start the season with the way this division looks is a death sentence. They would have to go down as the most overhyped/underachieving team of all time if they don't even make the playoffs. That was awful.
 
Same as last year. No speed on offense. We have to have 10 to 14 plays drives to score. The opponent defenses are not scared of anyone getting behind them. The defense is same as last year too. Let's play the CB 14 yards back.

Blame the defense all you want. They deserve it. But the offense was just as bad. It was a complete meltdown on both sides of the ball.
Its done. They just have to put it behind them and focus on the next game. Maybe people will stop with the Super Team talk now. We will have to hear about how Super teams don't work. The 2011 Eagles Dream Team flop. Maybe the team will stop believing all that talk about how great they are and focus on playing the games.

No, you’re not just coping. I’ve made international trips flying west numerous times and I always have more jet lag and slower recovery after the first leg of the trip than I do returning home. It affects you both physically and mentally; the fatigue is all consuming. And you could see it in the players last night.

Defense looked tired and a step behind the 69ers all night. I’m going to blame that on the travel for now.
The Offense just looked clueless. That has me more worried as a potential seasonal issue. Staffords happy feet and precision were cringe. Where the fuck were the TEs/WRs not named Nacua. The only thing that worked was the 2 RBs finding creases and getting good yardage. Vanilla but effective.
I’ll get over all this if I see major improvement in energy execution, and desire starting next week.
 
QOTD: Will I live long enough to see another blowout of the 49ers? Or has McVay ceded that and now doomed himself and his team to being Shanahan's little brother in the choke hold for the rest of his tenure?

The QB sneak with Stafford should be abolished from the playbook. He is quite literally the worst sneak QB I've seen in my history of watching football. It makes ZERO sense not putting anyone on the roster back there for the sneak besides Stafford. Kyren, Corum, Ferg, Avila, Davis.... etc. literally anyone. But a smart move is like Kyren or Ferg. Makes no sense not doing that if you are dead set on trying to sneak.
 
Heads I wanna lose, tails you're going to win appears to have happened at the coin toss.

Parkinson at 6'7" 260 lbs. with Higbee, Allen and Ferguson behind him to push.

Exactly. I know for a fact that McVay is a smart human. Why can't he understand that a Stafford sneak is the worst possible play call in any situation? I promise you that if Parkinson was used on that sneak, we score a TD and the game changes. We probably still lose, but not as embarrassingly.
