None. We've been waiting for McVay to adjust since 2018. After losing to the Falcons in the playoffs, I was convinced he would. Young coach. Young team. Nothing but optimism. But now? It's hilarious everyone keeps buying it. He is a very good coach but cannot win a slugfest. But you'll need to win a slugfest at some point to win a Super Bowl. So he's effectively useless. It's a real shame. A real life example of the mythical, mighty fighter with an Achilles Heel.

Heart transplant? We certainly aren't playing like we have one.

I am afraid you might be right! I am also afraid that McVay might be too loyal to his assistants which could be a real detriment to the Rams Organization/Future!!

No heart = doesn't matter what you change. To me....you don't beat the 49ers you deserve to lose the season.

I don't have an answer for you but I'm not holding my breath for anything good. Haven't seen it for years, no reason to believe we'll see it this year either. Hard to imagine going deep into the playoffs with what we've seen these past two weeks. Honestly, I think we're a few losses away to missing out.

What can they do? There is a new blue print on how to beat them. Get physical with them. Punch them in the mouth. Push them around. Bully them. Their manhood is now in question. They wilt.

One time I could see it. They were caught by surprise. Twice in a row? Its clear they don't handle that type of play very well. And I'm sure they really don't know if they can handle it going forward.

Nothing will be changed. McVay and Morris will say they need to be better coaches and nothing will change.

Fire Morris call Wade Phillips for temporary Def coordinator til Fangio is let go in the off season. Hell just take defensive coordinator from the local junior high school Morris blows!!

Mcvay has shown to be cut throat with players and or coaches in the past so no friendships here do what needs to be done or get in there with him and tell him jalen needs to shut down top receivers anything just do it

That wouldn't work. McVay isn't going to change his scheme midseason. Even if there is a change you still run the same base scheme because you don't have time to redefine everything from the bottom up. Adjustments sure. But Wade is like Morris in that he doesn't know this scheme which is a continuation of the same problem.

Evero is a much better choice. He's on the staff and was here last season. Or Shula, who is only coaching the ILBs this year with the OLBs being under Henderson and DL.

If they bring someone in from outside it has to be someone with enough experience at least to really know quarters and shit so they can shape up the reads and get this fucking secondary playing on one page.

Morris was said to have a great understanding of this defense.......................he doesn't and neither do the players.

I'm not sure if age is finally there for Aaron Donald, but his play this year has been flat. I see issues at every single position and with every coach. Us beating sad washed up teams has padded our record. We are 1-3 against good teams this year.

Hopefully, The Rams will do something!!
No changes whatsoever.

Why should we change anything simply because we were outcoached and outplayed on both sides of the ball for the fifth straight time by a division rival?

Who were exactly who we thought they were. Played exactly the way we knew they would play. And we couldn't do anything about it.

There is no team this year, IMO that is head and shoulders above the rest.

To be honest, we don't turn the damn ball over, we could have beaten Tennessee and the whiners. The cardinals converted like 4-5 3rd and 17 yards to go against us. These things can be fixed although I agree that it feels sucky right now.

I don't think they can do anything that will make a meaningful difference. This team is soft in all the wrong places to compete this year.

To be honest...I'm not overly concerned about this year, because we are clearly not a Super Bowl contender. I'm more concerned about the 'fuck them picks' approach as we head forward.

Picking the Rams to lose to the Titans and the 9ers were easy calls. This team is soft against certain types of teams.

AD is not at his peak but still dominant. Teams are dink and dunking it to avoid the pass rush and Morris is not helping giving up the underneath passes. Also, Staley did a good job rotating him, keeping him fresh. His playing almost every snap now.

I like the adjustment of having Lewis on the line in the second half. We stopped a lot of drives with that formation. Now Morris has to figure out how to put the secondary excluding Ramsey in position to make a play. Jimmy G threw to his first read most of the time.
