We all hate losing to those assholes. But we were gonna lose games this year anyway. Now the 17-0 season is not a worry. 6-0 in the division is not a worry. Getting too high on our press clippings is not a worry. These boys got an early wake up call. Awesome!!!! Now go win the division, the conference and the Super Bowl!!!
i agree on the offense being a bigger issue to me
defense wasn’t really that bad until the game was, imo, basically over lol
they were probably fatigued from being on the field so much. same old story against the niners etc
I had a feeling this game wasn't going to go well, because of the combo of the Rams being praised all offseason, reading their press clippings, the travel bullshit thinking 48 hours is a good plan for such a long location change, the fact Australia is full of tall babes i.e. walking distractions for young players, the Shitters always playing us like it's their Super Bowl, the fact that Shanahan owns McVay's ass head to head, particularly in regular season games, etc., etc.
But in spite of all that I'm still livid because this was an absolute ass beating by the team I hate most.
I'm disgusted by the way our OL got whipped. Disgusted by the way it was schemed up too, particularly the run game where they've got McClendon blocking down on a third and one and Bosa runs right in and makes the stop. Probably someone missed his assignment but at this point it wouldn't surprise me if the Rams just figured that shit would work. Well it didn't because the Shitters predictably showed up and played with full intensity. And the Rams predictably didn't show up.
Stafford played like a pussy. He was shitting his pants and infecting the offense with the yips right out the gate. And it's hard to blame him when the OL is giving up instant pressure before the pocket QB can even settle in. So all around it was bad but I think Stafford did a terrible job leading this offense and I was happy when they benched his ass late in the game. He didn't deserve the opportunity to make the game closer at that point. Go sit the pine dude.
And the run defense made me sick. There's nothing I hate more than seeing my defense get run on. Then the typical weak ass coverages that allow SF to have endless third and short situations. Or our front mailing it in, straight quitting and in doing so making me wonder if we have enough leaders on that side of the ball to install the right mentality. Which btw includes the coaches.
The only real silver lining is that McVay's a master at utilizing games like this to turn it around. But still here we are one week in looking up in the division to two teams who play defense the right way. And I have a hard time imagining this offensive unit doing well against that defense we saw in Seattle in their opener if the QB is already shitting his pants and getting instant heat from SF. So here's hoping McVay turns this shit around.

They should have went over the weekend. You can argue they went to London and dominated the Jags last year, but you got to understand, they were also in midseason mode last year.
I should not have got my hopes up for this game like I did but I tried to hide it as much as I could.
I'm actually glad they got their asses whooped the first week cuz now they are humbled and go on a heater

The Rams could have been up 14-3, but Stafford threw that ugly interception when he had an RB open in the flat and completely uncovered—a total momentum-changing mistake.
Stafford being Stafford, Locked in on one WR. The announcer said multiple times, Rams 2 targets to 49ers 8 or something like that.
Felt like last year when Stafford didn't practice and was so off with anyone not named Puka. Except this time was off with everyone.

We were pretty stoked after all the acquisition during the offseason. Heard all that talk about a super team. People wanted a nickname for the defense before they played their first game. Then reality hit.
This is not a super team, dream team or whatever name they wanted to come up with. Its a team that is good enough to win it all. But also a team that is gonna lose games too. There are several teams good enough to win it all.
Its a long season. Losing games in football is tough. You gotta wait a week, or in this case a week and half, till they play again. In baseball you wait a day.
One good thing can come of this. They know they can't take anything for granted. Sure, they'll say it wasn't that. It wasn't the travel. But they did have the look of a tired team. And one that wasn't prepared to play a tough game.

No he won’t. That was entire group decision. The same group that built this team were writing off after one game

I hope you're right (that they're undeservedly being written off) but, if not, and the knee issue is real, Snead (or the LA brain trust) is going to be under siege.
Anyone else concerned about Lake? He got beat 1-on-1 by everyone and it wasn't close. I know people here like him, but I think he is overrated.
Not using it as an excuse but fuck Australia for NFL games. In fact, fuck ALL international games and the NFL's never-ending cash grab.
The travel and logistics place an undue burden on an already-grinding schedule for NFL game weeks. The Australia trip simply magnified that. I know, I know - The 49ers were in the same boat. This is true and they responded well. The Rams not so much. Dunno why.
It didn't seem like a real game, much less a grudge match against a hated rival. It almost seemed like an exhibition and McVay and the team played that way.
I'm done with international games and, if the NFL continues its multi-streaming platform bullshit, I'll be done with the whole damn thing.

After a loss like that, I can’t even watch any football content until next Monday and even then…if we shit the bed against the Giants…
I’ll watch the games, but it’ll make the entire season suck.
We need to shitstomp the Giants and I already know that’s not gonna happen against a Harbaugh coached team.
I’m hoping this is like November of our Super Bowl year and we just needed a game to get out heads right that we need to be tougher than the other team.

Stafford had a terrible game but we know that won’t be a weekly problem.
Q got absolutely toasted vs old ass Evans
Shannahan took Mcvays joke of a weak zone defense to the wood shed
Purdy got comfortable with the lack of blitz and was all world.
Deboo and McCaffrey were playing smashmouth football while we were watching and getting steamrolled.
These are all fixable things.
Mcvays biggest tweak would be to admit his zone scheme percent is killing the defense and to deploy blitz packages. Lake would be better doing that then covering WR’s.
Also our short yardage package has been a problem for years. We need a big RB to handle the duties.

Extended Gurley, Paying Goff, Paying Kupp (who fell off immediately following the greatest season in recent memory)…They know what they’re doing. If something doesn’t work out, they fix it. I’m more concerned with running zone coverages with two CBs that excel at man than I am their decision to trade for/pay for players. This was on coaching 1000%. The team either wasnt prepared or they were extremely fatigued.
We also have to remember this 49ers team went 12-5 with a depleted roster. Ratboy is an extremely good coach and with some health, that team is going to be tough. With Lovie being allowed to play the D we saw yesterday, they can be a downright problem
He only gave up 54 yards on 10 targets. I don't think he was utilized particularly well.

Hell they could of used Mevis for the sneak.
