This year after watching the first series of the games, on offense and defense, I have been able to predict with a 100% accuracy which games the Rams would end up losing.

An undocumented 100% success rate is quite the accomplishment. I have predicted the superbowl winner every year in pre season since 1997 with 100% accuracy.

42-20 he’s doing something right. Plus we have an offensive coordinator his name is Kevin O‘Connell

Well it looks like the rest of the NFL is catching up to him, just like they did to Martz. O"Connell is the offense coordinator by title only, McVay is actually the one calling the plays.

I noticed that too. What was that about? I actually never saw Staley on the sideline, but I wasn’t exactly looking until the end when they kept doing this.

Anyone see Staley on the sideline?

That was so confusing.

That’s one way to look at it. To me it looks like Sean McVay has a .677 win rate and is going to make the playoffs for the 3rd time in his 4 year coaching career and possibly win his division again.

#1 Defense got beat by the #32 Offense. Think about that for a sec.

The defense is overrated. It's as simple as that.

You could make the same argument about goff. But people still want him replaced.

The defense was also put in some bad spots. Not to mention, offense had 3 & outs constantly.

1st Drive of each half by the Jets... that is a failure of the defense

Those yes. I'm not disagreeing.

Didnt have any 3 & outs in 2nd half, 3 scoring drives and the fateful 3rd and 4 drive

 

[Ramlock]

did not look up stats to support this; the Rams defense is designed to stop passing offenses, playing mostly a hybrid nickel.

They are challenged by teams that get a lead and that are equipped to run, physical offenses, kinda like yesterday and the 9ers.

Not a good matchup for our Rams.

Come out flat and look out...

Does it seem as though he has difficulty adjusting to what the other team gives them...in game adjustments?

Most of the time his strategy is good...tactics suffer sometimes.

Still venting. Disbelief at what I saw yesterday.

I think you're overreacting a touch. Their play is what has gotten us to this point primarily. They are not falsely ranked no. 1 in the league by accident. Staley was out-coached this game and call it "execution" or whatever you want, but the defense did not play to their standard. They know it, you know it, and I know it. Im not shading blame on them for this performance, but this unit is pretty solid. Thats being pragmatic.

Yeah man, there with you.. cant let it ruin your day though.. life is much bigger than that.

 

[kurtfaulk]

On that note...perhaps it's been discussed somewhere else...but FOX kept showing Joe Berry and captioning it with Brandon Staley...perhaps Joe was calling the defense yesterday....that would certainly explain a lot....that and watching some dude named Rivers failing to keep contain on the edge...we need Lewis to get and STAY healthy...

that was funny. once they actually showed barry but put the name brandon staley on the screen. idiots. it's not that hard is it?

I mean idk. What I do know is we win a lot more often than we lose with McVay at the helm. If anything I feel like more often than not the rams make adjustments at the half and play better in the second half. I don’t know that I’d necessarily say he has difficulty with it because I think games where our team is flat out out-schemed are outliers rather than the norm.

it’s almost like we forget McVay was the youngest head coach ever and still only 34 years old in his 4th season as a head coach. Which I think is a testament to how good he has been that we look at any small mistake as a monumental flaw because he has been so astoundingly good.

idk if I answered your question or not lol

The defense failed in some key situations.. however without turnovers and blocked punts they gave up 17 pts... thats still pretty good.

I dont think so. Sam darnold and nick mullens made this d look like crap. Both are bottom tier quarterbacks and both times the defense folded when we needed a stop. No excuse for the way the d played those games. If they can't stop those two with the game on the line why would i have faith in them in the playoffs?
