What "trend"? That McVay is no longer perfect when leading at the half during a 10 year career? How long did you expect that 45-0 to run? Come on man, be realistic.

The "trend" of, the Rams are a team that blows double-digit 2nd Half leads now with surprising regularity.

You're right. With regularity. OMG, it seems almost every week!
We're fucked!!! McVay should be on the hot seat!!!!
Are you intentionally being ridiculous to try to make a flawed point? You don't call blowing 3 huge leads since Game 3 of last season, against your playoff peer contemporaries a somewhat "regularity?" Thats 3 in 18 games. Or 1 every 6. I consider that something to look at.
I consider it something to look at too. Something to wring my hands over? No. Something to point as some dangerous trend? No. I look for commonalities. What did those 3 losses......huge leads blown.......have in common? Good opponent? Check. Bizarre plays? Check.
How bout the Rams stop settling for fucking FG's....
In the Philly game and the Denver game. But neither were LOSSES until after the bizarre plays. The bizarre play in the Seattle game allowed the "blown lead". Again, no credit for the opponent coming back? They don't have a say? That's what that crazy stat about halftime leads (48-1 from 2017-2021) does for fans. Makes them think it's only about the Rams. The opponent has nothing to do with the outcome because the Rams ARE SUPPOSED to win every game they lead at the half. Here's a different "trend"......from 2017 to 2022 (6 yrs) the Rams went 11-29 when trailing at the half. Since then (3 yrs + 3 games)? 11-15. Nothing to talk about there? Of course not. They're supposed to do that!! They're the RAMS!!! So we have a right to whine when things don't go well. Point fingers. Worry. Oh well, nothing wrong with that.

How many COMEBACK wins have The Rams had in that time ??
CHIT happens.IMO the biggest turning point in The game was SPEICAL TEAMS again .
WTF - was Forbes thinking & what a WUSS. ??Get back on the Field instead of running away from contact.
I’ll give you this . Once again WTF are these players TAUGHT in all those HOURS & DAYS of off season?
I guess they can’t be coached in OTA’s
If you want THE TRUTH is Mcvay doesn’t play starter during the preseason.Plus it’s not The NORMAL Special Teams units either getting that work.
My POINT is looking into each year TAKING OFF early during MINI CAMP year after year. WHY NOT use that Day called SPECIAL TEAMS DAY!! Maybe you could even let starters who NEVER play ST off early,but some how address this ISSUE!!
Play 1 against the niners it was BAD. It’s called EFFORT!! It suck’s seeing RAMS getting SMASHED on Teams. It Shows a WEAKNESS to get physically out called game in & game out. It sets a Tone of the game. Kobie Turner is a STUD,just saying his effort is contagious.Brings good energy & this Draft Class will be missed.
You can talk all this & that about Mcvay,but imo The Rams are in a good place.Maybe he relies on his coaching staff to much & could be more hands on in different areas ?
This MAX KLARE seems like a Busted Draft pick ?? Not much talk about him,but his special team play has been WEAK !! Imo he wasn’t even the best rookie TE in training camp this year.He’s getting PAID way more than he is WORTH on the CAP STRUCTURE?? Not to say I know much about any of this.
—This is just thinking outside the box & gets upsetting when in ALL those games your talking about.BAD SPECIAL TEAMS played a huge part of those losses.
You can complain about Mcvay again,but Forbes taking a penalty & the Field gets flipped 45 yards puts The RAMS defense on there heals instead of being able to attack.Basically they were in FG range because of that.
IMO on that point I don’t think Kyren Williams doesn’t get enough credit for being a TD MACHINE!!
We've got to right these wrongs. We are in the Deluxe Super Bowl window right now. Time is of the essence.

Not just the regular window! The DEE-LUX model!!
Puka and Garrett would sure solve a lot of this......
The bottom line is this teams has not played up to expectations early in the season which is a head scratcher. Question; is it the coaching; the injuries to key players; an aging roster; or piss poor officiating?

Okay then the Rams need to match their effort!
Thats what I'm banking on. If we have Stafford, Kyren, Puka, Davante, Garrett, McDuffie all healthy and playing, all we need is foot-in-the-door playoffs, 7-seed even and we will win the Super Bowl.
For other teams out there: you wanna KILL the 2026 Rams? You better get it done in regular season. DONT LET THE RAMS MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!
i don't consider myself a conspiracy guy, but it sure seems like a lot of games where one team jumps out in front, the breaks (including penalties) fall in line with making games close....
the rams need to somehow overcome these issues and close out games with authority...
i know you can't overcome a bad call like the last game, but you should be able to limit referee input ...

They are simply just not getting to the QB enough.
