this loss to that shit team is it for me. it makes me question why i bother getting up early in the morning to watch such crappy play.

i actually fell asleep at the half and missed the 3rd qtr. woke up just in time to see the awful 4th qtr. they looked like the worst team in the league on both sides of the ball, being officiated by the most biased crew in football. how the fuck do they have the balls to call dpi on witherspoon after all the shit they let the fucking stealers dbs do all game? he didn't even touch the wr. i wanted to sidekick my tv when they showed the replay.

Wait a second. You responded to my vent initially, doing exactly what it’s meant for. Now you are literally doing what you were initially responding me about about venting about other fans. How ironic is that?

Yes, I added that as number 3 in the original response. All good.

Isn't it interesting how McVay shits the bed against coaches he "respects"? Rat face, Tomlin, Billy B. All three have his number.

I think its a stretch to say Tomlin has McVays number after only two games, and we beat the Patriots 24-3 in 2020. McVay is a Brandin Cooks drop away from being 2-0 versus Belichick.

McVay started out 3-1 versus Shanahan, and of course, beat him in the NFCC.

It's all pain!

20 years and counting since they beat these guys. Another 4 years of hearing about it. I said before the year started that the new kicker would cost us at least one win.
There it is.

Steelers are not that good. They are a marginal playoff team at best. But they are better than we are. This game was not an upset. The better team won. We are not a playoff caliber team. That is my honest, maybe brutal, assessment.

Possible you are right. I think the two teams are similar in roster quality (middle of the pack) but Tomlin had two weeks to prep his defense and they got it done.

Refs are what really bake my cookies though. They knew they blew it with the call and had to mask it with offsetting. But the Rams defense should have been off the field.

Lot of Rams players underperformed too I think. Kupp, Higgs, Stafford, Kendrick, Spoon, etc., etc.

 

[Badfinger]

The good news (I guess?) Is that pretty much everything we were worried about is in fact the issue with this team.

We need a blue Chip corner in free agency.

We need a premiere edge presence

We need to be able to put up more of a fight against competent defenses (more linemen like Avila?). Blueprint is there tho.

We need a LT, CB1, and an impact edge. Those positions are critical and we not have Playoff caliber talent there now.

 

[rdlkgliders]

watching the pressers.. you can tell this one really bothered them.

Good it should in the end effort, execution and caring more won it an lost it. Yeah refs & kickers suck what's new

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

They should have confiscated all those GD terrible towels at the gate. What a disgrace. Could have had a huge bonfire with them.

Steelers take advantage of having a week off. They looked fresher in the 4th Q, Tomlinson knows how to adjust and motivated.

The Rams DB coverage is generally weak. (Bad PI call late). That leads to blitzes by Morris that didn't get home.

Some drops.

Questionable empty backfield first play call of the second half. Seemed like Watt and the Steelers knew the play was coming.

The Rams didn't build on the halftime lead momentum.

Stevie Wonder knows it’s a pass in an empty set. I don’t understand McVays love for empty sets. Hey Defense, I bet you can’t stop THIS pass…I dare you.

all NFL teams run empty sets multiple times... it's hard to disguise defenses.

i do agree though our empty sets seem to fail more than others, but i have no real data

They make it easier for the QB to read the defense. I get why McVay likes them on passing downs. I don't understand why you'd start the second half with that play when we were killing them with the run and could play-action off of it.

I'd also like a real rb1 and maybe an upgrade at center or LG

 

[El Chapo Jr]

But why was it a major brain fart? If Stafford didn’t throw a bad pass or it was an incompletion those that are calling it a dumb ass play wouldn’t even remember the play even happened. The empty set had nothing to do with the decision that Stafford made to throw that ball.

Its a brain fart because we were doing extremely well with the run and going empty allows the defense to defend the play easier since they know its a pass. It obviously doesn't end there because ultimately Stafford makes an ill advised throw to Kupp who is essentially covered over and under.

my guess why is because on 1st downs teams will often be in base defenses... so spreading them out will lead to linebackers covering people they shouldn't be.

however their guy who never covers anyone made an int....

A real Run game means they can stack the box and you still get 3 to 4 yards and a cloud of turf. McVay schemes Pass and hopes to sneak in a run or two each series.
