Hard to argue.This doesn't look like a well coached team...! Penalties. No adjustments on offense. Predictability. Poor oline play.
But it's packed with highly paid coaches.
Penalties killed us. Stopped our drives and others kept the Viks on the field.
Where the hell is our run blocking? It wasn't there in the Preseason and it wasn't there today.
Bates taunting pissed me off more than Quicks face mask penalty.
Fisher didn't have this team ready. Injuries or not, it's time for Fisher to hang these guys on meat hooks and lay down a healthier hand.
This game was straight out of Scott Linehan: Greatest Hits. If the team is even competitive in this game, people would react a lot differently.
Frankly, after the RG3 trade, all of our high picks and FA signings, in the 3rd year of an experienced coaching staff.....this game should just never happen. Period. We deserve better than this garbage. At some point they have to stop promising improvement and actually improve.
I agree. I was thinking that lining Austin in the "I" was Schotty's way off creatively getting him the ball. We will never have a dynamic offense, much less an efficient with him as OC. Our only hope is that the defense becomes so dominant that the offense can play a Trent Dilfer type game by minimizing mistakes the way he did when they won the super bowl.

DUDE. You cant run things like the jet sweep in the NFL with players, it doesn't work! Only the Seahawks and Vikings can do that to us with their utility players. We don't do that because we're a REAL NFL team. Besides Austin never ran that in college every other play with Geno Smith for 15+ every single fucking time. Might as well go back and watch some past games so we can get some trick play ideas for him. I mean that's why we moved up in the draft to get him. To run power with him up the middle and to run trick plays with him.
Yes just one game.
However, it looks like another slow start for our Rams.
Getting this team ready by week 8 just doesn't cut it.
We had 4 preseason games to get these guys ready. Use them.
Sadly, I'm beginning to wonder if we're going to see real improvement under this regime. We just keep spinning our wheels, making the same mistakes while other teams pass us by.
Atlanta, Houston, and Buffalo all won today, while Cleveland and Jacksonville were competitive. These teams are progressing while we're regressing.

How is a team that's built to run the ball, run the ball with NO run blocking?
Richie Incognito is looking pretty good to me right now.
A loss is a loss, but this exposed us for what we are. We were ranked in the lower 7 teams in the NFL after losing Sam B. and that's where we are. We may fall in the rankings from 25 or so to 30, 31 or 32 this week, and rightfully so. Fisher will speak about how we have to lower the amount of penalties but the lack of scoring is a concern.
This was just one game, but we certainly were not ready to play and we can't score.

But our QB got hurt, and he's NEVER gotten hurt before. So I mean, there's no way they could've known he might get hurt or prepared for it. Nah, I think we can let them slide to next year when we draft a new QB. Then of course we'll have to let him develop so that will take a few years...

No matter what happened today, it's still better to be a Rams fan than root for the Cowboys.
