We could be playing the niner's second, third or even practice squad and we still would lose.

Deebo is out and that is good news but the Rams also have to account for McCaffery now. Gonna be a good game. They will need good games from Alaric Jackson, Brian Allen, Hav, and many others. Come on Rams!!!

Good news is Rams were hitting number 22 really hard in last game. Both Rapp and Ramsey were laying wood. Lot easier to deal with than Deebo

Van back probably means pass pass pass. But I think this 5 on the OL can run the ball on them. Just hope McVay keeps the attack balanced to help the line out and make the 9ers work. They always have a fucking week off in stopping the run when they play us.

Maybe even hand the ball to Akers and let him run angry. Get him rolling and showcase him for trade. I know it's dreaming but hoping maybe they work things out.

Akers is benched again this week.

If I was game planning this weeks offense, I would come out passing. McVay has made it a point to run even if we can't. It stalls us out and puts us behind the chains. I think we could move the ball more efficiently and stop stalling out if we passed every down even in the red zone at the beginning of the game.

I would do more of what we did against Carolina

Mix in Jet Sweeps and Screens

I think McVay likes to mix in the run even if they're stuffed (per usual) to keep the D honest.

It's the way the ball bounces...BUT...I prefer Deebo playing so there's no excuses. None-the-less my main concerns about this games go in this order:

1. How well does the OLine hold up?

2. Obviously the pass game gets a boost with Jefferson back...but in these Niner games McVay tends to forget Higbee because he uses him to help with pass blocking...DON'T forget Higbee.

3. How well does the Ram Defense tackle...because you know the Niners are going to "quick pass" to WRs and RBs, if the Rams don't tackle well, the Niners keep the Ram D' on the field and eats much clock!

I feel good about this game...but I need to see the Offense in their early series. I hope McVay uses every weapon he has and keeps the SF D' off balance. Most of all...GET STAFFORD ON THE MOVE!!!

Glad they're wearing the classic colors for this one. Rams home game vs the shitters should always be blue & yellows.

If would be great to see a flood of Rams fans filling SoFi tomorrow turning it into a home field advantage. I think that would go a long way toward turning the tide.

My key to this season and keep repeating every week is to win on first down. I cannot for the life of me find team stats for avg yds gained on first down….

But it has to be pretty bad, certainly much worse than a year ago and down throughout the McV era. If I’m wrong I need a football eye Q test. ;)

What is keeping the offense afloat must be the efficiency on 3rd down where somehow they’re ranked in the top 10 at 42.7% conversion rate.

Win on first down.

Ball security. Quit gifting the opponent free points. Mix it up on offense and avoiding the big plays on defense. Easier said than done I know.
