all i can say is thank the lord i didn't put any money on them to win the superbowl this season. all the positive feedback from training camp had me itching to put a sizable bet down. in the end i'm just not a gambler so i can't give up the money that way.
little did we know that the positive vibes came from the offense facing the raheem morris ole d in training camp. once they started facing real defenses they looked like utter crap. meanwhile even the most mundane offenses move the ball at will against the rams putrid d.

As much as I look forward to and appreciate the in person camp reports, scrimmaging vs your own team only shows so much. Too much familiarity and poor schemes are problematic, as you mentioned.
Optimism reigns supreme every camp, but this year was the first time I’ve seen a McVay team so overwhelmed in the opener. It wasn’t just losing, it was a fight that would have been stopped.
