Mcvay kind of backed down in his tues presser about being wrong about playing conservative.

But make so mistake it was wrong...our kicking game is not trustworthy from that distance.
If he did, he's a fucking idiot then regarding this decision. He fucked up, no question about it.

Im trying to relax. I honestly don’t mind being on the road for the playoffs - not ideal of course - but it’s not like we have much of a home field advantage in most matchups and SF is just embarrassing. I am a bit worried that we may not actually make the playoffs and that would be a real shame.

I saw that. If Im Stafford and the offense Im thinking “Why did he shut us down in favor of our struggling FG unit? We were killing it.”

Too many softball questions in those pressers. It wasn’t until the end when someone finally asked him about it. He deflected somewhat and spoke again about the ST’s unit.

Me: Again, it’s not about the shitty ST’s, it’s about why did you shut your offense down in that situation….
 

Kay Adams just got a lot hotter with this take. Curiously I was just looking at this exact same assessment:
- Rams could be 1-4 or 4-1. Point being first 5 games representing the 1st quarter of the season shows the Rams need to improve in several areas but have the ability to improved dramatically, weak to weak. Injuries aside, I see improvement in the next 4 games that will show the real Rams this season.
- without a doubt this first 5 games were the toughest first 5 games of McVays tenure. He will adjust.
- 2024: started 1-4 and were impressive in the playoffs. 2025: The were 3-2 but didn’t have the defensive horses to take another Super Bowl. 2026: they have the offensive and defensive horses. It starts this week. Patience grasshoppers.

I looked it up. Seems McVay's teams frequently start the season slow, but usually get it together and make the playoffs. Here's a graph demonstrating that. Rams may be ok by the end of this season too!

I didn't do an in depth look but, might the difference this year be how stout both SEA and SF are?

I seriously doubt we could beat them (especially in their home) - the way we're playing now.

Reffing conversation aside, what this shows me is what we have seen on the field. Poor ST, drives stalling poor due to poor execution (penalties), and a fickle defense
Our RZ offense is great overall and our defense also ranks well but we are losing in clutch moments when games are on the line.

This is somewhat uncharacteristic and lets hope it is relatively easy to correct.

This team will look completely different if/when Myles Garrett is healthy and back playing.

I also expect further roster tweaks.

But MG alone changes everything. That is, assuming he’s 100%.

The Niners have started off strong but continue to have injury issues and have played a favorable schedule out the gate. If they can remain healthy they will be tough to beat. Seahawks have struggled because they don’t have the running game compliment that protected Sam Darnold this year and it’s shown in his struggles. Seahawks lost some depth at corner and their offensive line has struggled to protect the QB without a running game. Throughout the NFC outside of the Niners and the Vikings the remaining teams are hovering around.500 or below.

Hopeful, but remains to be seen. Really need to fix that ILB situation.

I totally agree with this. Another example is how the Green Bay Packers are looking forward to Micah Parsons return, beleiving his return will have a huge effect. Same for the Rams with Garrett should be the case.

The fact is Sts has lost the Rams 2 games. We cant ignore that. Coaching decisions has lost them 2 games...and McVay has taken ownership of both...the losses to the Niners and Bills. The Denver loss can be attributed to bad calls and coaching. The only game the Rams were just flat beaten, is the Niner game. They should be 4-1

The Coaching and STs have to be better...PERIOD!!!

FIX IT!!!

McVay’s coaching decision to fly to the season opener until the last minute may have contributed to the loss but the Niners simply outplayed the Rams. The Denver game in my opinion was on the Defense and the failures of special teams. They squandered a 16 point halftime lead. The Bills game was influenced by poor special teams ( kickoff return, missed field goals) and a really poor defensive plan. How can you watch tape on the Bills and not dedicate a player to shadow Allen. I think at this point of the year the biggest question on the Rams is Chris Shula and his defense. He’s added some really good players in the offseason besides Garrett and despite those new additions the Rams defense hasn’t improved. McVay’s MO is to always accept responsibility but between Shula’s defense and the special teams coaching failures there’s plenty of blame to spread. McVay’s shown an ability to turn around the offense but at this point there’s still a big question whether Shula or Ventrone can do the same.

And one more thing. Opponents are like close to 100% converting 2 points conversions against the Rams going back to last season.
