The offense has regressed the past 2 seasons and was a shell of its 2017-2018 self. The plays were predictable. Who was that on Goff or McVay? We shall see. But many critics insist both were. If you dont think McVay has at least some responsibility then oh well

And the assistant QB coach got an OC job, (College) the QB coach got an OC Job and the current OC was denied interviewing for another OC position. Sure seems like the league wants what he's got. Critics? Critics gotta criticize its just what they do...
I don't think they have to win a championship for it to be successful. I do think they need to win in double figures and get past the first round for sure. I also think the offense has to be much better. If the offense carries them most the season and maybe just got beat by a better team 2 or 3 rounds in the playoffs, I would not consider it a disappointment.
As disappointed as it was losing to the Packers, I also know we not the better team. Too many people look at that game like we got upset. It woulda been an upset if we won. The Packers were clearly the better team. Sometimes we just need to accept that.

The only people asking if it was Goff or McVay are fans who are looking for a miracle with Goff.
Look I am sure McVay made some mistakes in all that. But reads and seeing the field is shit the QB needs to do. McVay cannot make him better at juggling the rush and his reads. He tried with scheme to help but Goff needs a camp and dedicated offseason and maybe he turns it around.
Teams watch film. They know the QB responsibilities. This is why McVay's coaches get poached while the QB goes for a ham sandwich.
The short answer is that the Lions and then the Bears in late '18 figured out a way to slow down the Rams.
The Patriots put it all together and just stifled the Rams.
That coupled with a regression of the OL due to losing Saffold and Sullivan meant McVay spent about half the season adjusting.
Schematic adjustments in the NFL are hard. It's not a matter of new plays. It's far more complicated and involved than that. If it weren't, we wouldn't need an off-season and pre-season games.
Things started getting better toward the end of 2019, but not great.
Things improved in 2020. We had a much better run game and the OL improved over 2019. We also improved with respect to schematic adjustments, but Goff continued to regress for a number of reasons. If the issue were solely ball placement, footwork or vision, that would likely not have finalized the divorce. However, the turnovers were the final straw.
I see folks arguing that the "other side" is making these "it's all the other guy's fault" when no one is saying that.
No one is saying it's all Goff's fault or all McVay's fault or all Snead's fault or all Blythe's fault (I mean... it kind of is, but...).
We got to a point and we moved on. It's a shock. Hopefully, parties don't entrench and turn this Goff/McVay thing into Warner/Bulger or Warner/Martz version 2.0... That would be unfortunate... for everyone.
