Vs whiners:

Jef Fisher: 3-6-1 (.500)
Sean McVay: 4-8 (.500)

The 4th for McVay was the most important, the playoff win

Well, lets be real. Superbowl champs rarely repeat. Why? A myriad of reasons. Usually injuries are at the top of the list. But there's another. The one that bothers me the most. Are they fat and content now? I hope not. Because if that is the case don't expect a playoff run. You have to be at 110 percent focus and intensity to win in this league.

Maybe they can promote Matt Skura from the practice squad-- Skura was an above-average NFL center when he played for the Ravens.

You know. When it was obvious they had our number, why not put qb 2 in there and let him run around etc. Some games are just toast for the rams.
Because the 9ers are shit. They couldn't put us away. Even as bad as that game was we still had a late possession with a chance to tie.

That was one of the strangest ass kickings I've ever seen.

Morris has HOF players at all 3 levels. With that kind of talent, this should be a top 5 unit. Morris is too busy playing his homies and playing for FGs that he's beginning to lose his players. Ramsey is not happy and I don't blame him. Morris is a pussy and he's complicit in these losses just like he was last year.

MORRIS WAS PASSED OVER FOR HC POSITIONS BECAUSE HE PLAYS SCARED. HE'S TOO FUCKING OLD SCHOOL. HE ASSUMES THE OPPOSITION WILL MAKE A MISTAKE. HE SIMPLY DOESN'T GET IT. HIS DEFENSE SHOULD FORCE THOSE MISTAKES NOT WAIT UNTIL THE OFFENSE MAKES THEM ON THEIR OWN. FIRE FUCKING MORRIS!!!!!!!!

It didn't help that Morris continued to play his uber soft zone where the DBs stand like statures and only react after the ball is caught. By the time he moved away from it the game was basically lost. Morris has returned to his sucky ways. What happened to the days where they would use Ramsey to take away their best receiver? Morris made it way too easy for Jimmy G.

I also warned about the difference between a WR blocking and a true FB. That was on full display as well. Benny Sko missed a whole lot of blocks. On some he looked like he didn't know where the play was supposed to go. Benny Sko isn't a good #3WR because he doesn't threaten anyone.

Robinson isn't getting throws because his route running is trash. Half the time he doesn't act like he knows where he is going. There was more than one play where Stafford couldn't throw to him because he never turned around. He looks like he's just going through the motions.

They need to get McCutcheon ready for next week. He can play X WR. They need to get Harris ready because he has the speed to take the top off the secondary.

It was a gross mistake starting Evans. The Niners targeted him exactly like I predicted with stunts and other "games" where he got totally lost. Kolone obviously didn't know how to call protections. I expect Brewer to be at LG but the biggest problem is replacing Shelton if he can't go next week. They might have to do an extensive coaching session with Anchrum. Noteboom is clearly still playing hurt as his mobility is nowhere near where it is when he's healthy.

This OL is a mess because of injuries. Noteboom is playing hurt and the entire interior is backups. They will have to struggle through 2 more games before they can start getting people back during the bye.

I have to disagree that sko missed alot of blocks. He missed every block. I dont know wtf is going on with arob but im for giving mcClutchon (trademarked) a shot. Oline has to be adressed in our annual mid-season trade, ala obj, miller, ramsey. We are not getting to the SB with this oline as it is. Whitworth, are you interested?

Yeah, I don't get it. Last year morris played way to soft and it proved to kill the rams all november. Then, he turned it around and we were killing it. So why does it seem like we're back to november 2021? I mean, don't we know who this debo guy is already? We have 3 fucking 1st ballot HOFrs, 2 of the top 10 players of the league, yet the niner D shows up better? The best tackle wagner made was on the moron running onto the field. Our defensive players are way better than the scheme so change the fucking scheme.

Well.. maybe look at the roster?

No Von… No Obo.. No pressure… injured backfield.

Not sure what’s tough to see.

I’m even more confused at why people are so upset after giving up 17 points on the road.

injured backfield? Cam was out all last year. Obo? That;s a difference maker? Buffalo just beat baltimore on the road with half their defense on the sideline. It's more scheme than missing obo and the rams knew thay had to replace at least some of the edge with the loss of von yet they felt they were good there. Yes, von was a big loss but what the fuck are they doing with wagner. shouldn't be this much drop off.

Um..
Buffalo gave up 20?
If the Rams scored what the Bills O did and didn’t throw a pick 6, victory.

What are we talking about?

Obo isn’t a difference maker.. but he’s better as a pass rusher than Hollins and any of their depth rushers.

Von. Von is kinda a big deal.

"If the Rams scored what the Bills O did and didn’t throw a pick 6, victory."

yeah if this happenned maybe the rams never lose. Are we using these potential yet very unlikely scenarios to validate a point? And to reiterate, yeah, von, "big loss" but they knew that early in the offseason and obviously felt good about their options. I was very happy with wagner stepping in and actually thought/think he can be an overall improvement, but not the way they are using him. He had a league leading 170 tackles last year, yeah, 10 per game. This year, 5 per game, playing behind AD and our elite dline, which is also being missused.

I’m sorry, I’m just not that worried about scheme.

Much more concerned about execution and personnel.

scheme, execution, personell, I think coaching has something to do with that. No other team has a HOFr at all 3 levels, so why are teams with none or 1 HOFrs doing better againstg lesser competition. Just wondering

It takes much more than 3 players to make an effective defense in the NFL.

And… I’m positive there are coaching points that need to be improved.

I just don’t see the overall scheme being the big issue.

And I think that personnel issues are the bigger issue at the moment.

And I think they did well, despite that.

the rams did what they did last year in 2 regular season losses. Played 4 man fronts too much which gave up big ground plays, and did not have ramsey one on one with debo. Same results here. Debo with the big 50 td when ramey was elsewhere, and gtting gouged with 4 man fronts. In the NFC title game, rams came out with 5 and 6 man fronts and they won. I'm saying that if you look at the tape, they revertted back to the losing scheme of last regular season against the niners.
