1. Defense is no fluke and we're going to get a boost when Fuller returns. Being 5-3 isn't good enough in this division but the season isn't over yet and that defense is going to ensure we're in the mix all the way to the end for the playoffs. Don't know about you guys but I still appreciate mattering for the playoffs.

2. OL opened holes in the run game again. The makings of a very good run game are there. This is another thing that should help us over the remaining and very tough schedule.

3. While the WR corps has underwhelmed a bit we have a boost incoming with Jefferson. Once he settles in as WR3 we are going to feel his addition and it should help our beleaguered QB.

4. At RB we have a guy who can be the horse this offense needs in Akers. I love what Hendy's done but he can't take the pounding. He's a change of pace back. Akers offers a potential answer at RB once McVay finally gets over Brown.

5. Goff is not some garbage QB. He's a plus QB who needs good players around him. He still has room to improve and his growth is going to be a big determining factor in how far this team goes. We can't run the ball every play. We need this guy to make downfield throws and force defenses to defend the entire field and he's shown he can do that he just needs to do a better job of being in rhythm early in games. I don't know what the answer is, but the good thing is we have a fine offensive staff who should be able to figure that out.

I know folks are pissed. Just trying to throw some perspective out there: this team still matters and still has a shot.
 
We don't have to worry about keeping the coin flip streak alive.

That insurmountable pressure would wear down any team.
 
It was a bad day, it was also a short week and away game, even the best teams and QB's have shitty days. I'd really like to see more consistency on Offense week to week though. Hoping we work some kinks out over the bye. Sucks today but upward and onward
 
This isn't a day for positives! This is a day for firing McVay and benching Goff! @GDT
I did want Goff benched. And I tip my cap to McVay for not doing that. Had Everett not dropped that ball what could have been sigh.
 
Let's not forget the vent thread is there for a reason.


as shitty as this game was, only 1 vent thread is needed
 
Love the look of the D and run game. If the whole team can channel it’s second half abilities for entire games we will be in the playoffs. The first quarter is huge for the 2020 Rams.

Defense has been playing lights out. If they could produce a few more turnovers and/or scores, we could be talking Super Bowl carrying-good.

Defense is super legit top 5, especially when we have our 4 missing starters back. I hope we can hold on to Staley b/c he's amazing.

We have the best defensive player and the best punter in the league.

Henderson and Akers will be studs for a long while.

Taylor Rapp played his ass off today.

Darious Williams is just a gamer.
