I think the argument people are making is that not only do we need to run the ball more, but mix it up. All of our runs went inside today. No jet sweeps, no runs to the outside...nothing but ineffective runs inside.

This is the problem I have with not finding a way to run...we have not won 1 game when we don’t. So all of who so quickly say that the run was not working, the white flag came out when we stopped trying. 9 attempts to Gurley is not “trying” to run...it’s capitulation. I agree the holes weren’t there early...but must continue to probe for weakness...especially with a genius at the helm
I like Rams

Time to let Wade go and give Gruden and Rivera a call and offer them a position before both are gone.

Wanted everywhere but welcome nowhere
200 rushing yards given up while we run for 20.
Only a handful of QB's can keep you in a game like that and it is becoming quite evident we do not have one of them.
McVay and the FO have a tall task this off season.

Yup. Absolutely no push from the middle of the line.
Blythe is a reserve lineman. Nothing more.

Next year will be interesting. I am very curious to see if this was just a down year for some of our players (and for that matter, our coaching staff), or if we are in serious trouble going forward.
I do think that we have to move on from Wade Phillips regardless. His Super Bowl performance was outstanding, as was his 2018 playoff showing as a whole. That won him everyone's confidence after a so-so 2017-18 regular season. But he is in his 70s now, put in another season where his body of work is nothing special, and the 3-4 defensive scheme is generally the lesser model, in my humble opinion. If we don't cut ties now we will need to do it in a year or two. Pull off the band-aid now, I say, and start moving forward.

This may be a Vent thread, however calling out others whom do not share your opinion is incredibly petulant
This team, from the coaching all the down to man 53, has some SERIOUS fucking issues .....
Not one jet sweep in this game.
This right here is what frustrates me most. Being a die hard fan doesn't mean lying to yourself and saying that everything is okay. Some people have a tough time facing reality. Optimism crosses into delusion too frequently.

Talking about our players, who’s our inspirational leader on this team? Who do we look to when things go bad? It’s not Goff, right? I’m not talking about coaches. Who do we look to?! I think we sometimes look like we have no soul.

The 3-4 can be a really good defense, but we still have 4-3 personnel, after 3 years now?
Not many coaches in this league "stick with the run" when they find themselves down 2-3 TDs in the first half.
I know that Goff can be electric and make the best of the best throws .... IN SOME GAMES ... but I'm really concerned by his hot and cold spells, and more by his many many many inaccurate throws, even while not under much pressure.
Yeah seriously not one jet sweep or outside run play all game. Miserable play and play calling by everyone. The pressure got to em

Fisher's team? I can remember two games in his tenure that ended in a beatdown like this. We've had several THIS YEAR.
Yeah but we abandoned the run way before we were down by all that much. We quit trying to run, and didn't try different kinds of runs.
