The offense needs someone that can take the top off a defense. I guess that’s supposed to be Tutu but defenses play us with zero fear of getting beat over the top. They know we live off of short to intermediate passes.

Today they just didn't have time to throw deep - the cardinals were mugging the gaps like flores does and it was confusing us.

Here are your fixes Mcvay:

Get Garrett and Mcduffie on the field.

Beat the shit out of Jackson so he cowers anytime someone is in his face.

Get Landman and Speights off the field in passing downs unless they are blitzing.

Bring in a shirt yardage FB that loves
Contact and running over people. I recommend Fiske if needed.

Stop getting cute. Your crunch time WRs are Davante and Puka. Throw them slants or stick routes and stop overthinking it.

Fire Bubba. The standard is too low.

Hurry up offense every play.

Shula needs to go. He is way over his head with zero impact to the game and too slow to adjust.

Bailey needs to go. Bad idea.

Blitz more and man cover more.

See you next week when I post this same thing.

Can we get about 15 more ideas about how to fix the offense? I'll repeat: we scored 16 freaking points against Arizona.

That's not on ST or defense.

I tried to focus on Quessenberry every time there was a sack or pressure on Stafford forced a bad throw. I really didn't see him as the main problem. The line as a whole was just not good. And now the cat is out of the bag. Blitz the heck outta Stafford and points are hard to come by.

Right now, I don't look at the schedule for games we should win. Enough games to get us a wild card shot. Because there are no such games. Sure, they'll win more games. But right now they can lose to anyone. There are no should win games. Just can win but also can lose.

Depends on rookie and how used.

Also.. as I’ve said in other posts.. could have been other trades.

But.. yeah.. the kick returner the Steelers drafted.. one example… and several WRs could have helped. There’s no 3rd threat… remember… that player wouldn’t have to be the star.

And I’m talking the entire draft class and approach that leaves Rams with a completely unathletic special teams group.

I hear ya...but my response would be that Stafford rarely looks at anyone other than Puka, Adams...sometimes Higbee.
Any rookie WR drafted would be getting the same amount of looks as Mumfield.

I just don't buy that there was a player available to be drafted in the Rams spot that would help much with this mess.

Arizona scored on the opening drive against Detroit and then Detroit’s defense forced 5 straight 3 and outs, followed by an interception. 6 straight possessions where Arizona barely burned a minute off the clock and didn’t pick up a single first down. Arizona had drives in the first half today that took 8, 10, and 12 plays. Then their first 2 drives of the 2H were 14 and 15 plays. I think if our defense played as well as Detroits did, our offense would’ve scored more points.

That's just an excuse. The niners put up 30 on them and barley had the ball...they ran 50 plays and only had the ball for 21 minutes. The difference is they made the most of their drives while we didn't. Our defense only allowed 18 points....if I told you the defense would only allow 18 points would you think the cards would win? I highly doubt it. Our offense shit the bed today against the worst defense in the nfl. This gm should've been won easily.

Its absolutely on Special Teams… and D didn’t do its job.

AND the offense sucked today.. but it’s no coincidence that Jackson was out.

I don’t know how much of McVay’s terrible play calling was because he was afraid of Stafford getting killed

You’re mistaking my post as being focused on Simpson.

It was the entire draft, imo.

Again.. least athletic ST unit AND didn’t add a returner.

These are roster issues.

As is backup tackle for that matter.

But.. yeah.. add in a Denzel Boston and I think the entire unit is better.

I’m putting it on the whole team. The defense isn’t absolved from that. The offense and special teams deserve blame as well. But this is the second time in four games the offense has left the field with the lead just needing a stop to win the game. And the defense gave up scores both times.

I'm not totally absolving the defense either. And the special teams I've written off. But the offense needed to step up today. 9 pts in 3 quarters against the worst defense in the league at home is unacceptable. If it was Seattle I could understand. Maybe I'd be a little harder on the D. But this game was supposed to be a layup. For a team with Super Bowl aspirations this game shouldn't come down to a final stop.

I'll agree with you regarding a return man, for sure.

I’d push back on that because when the Rams drafted Puka, and he proved he could play, Stafford targeted him all the time. If we would’ve brought in a WR that proved himself in camp, Stafford would trust them.

And even today the targets were pretty evenly distributed. We only threw 33 times and Puka had 7, Tae had 4, Parkinson had 6, Kyren had 6, and Higbee had 4.

Myles Garrett returning isn't gonna magically transform this team into an instant contender. If you're that bad without him, you probably weren't that good to begin with.

And that's the pussy part I'm talking about.....just call the fucking game to win. Learn to go for the jugular or set teams up to do it. Also looks like Kyren averaged 5 yards per carry, maybe hand off more too.

I think if the Rams would have kept Mevis, and he was the one to blast the Cards returner...the game could have been much different.
