Yeah! Lots of short memories. 49 ers are unbeaten against the Rams the last three Regular seasons. Rams are undefeated against the 49ers in the NFC Championship.

Yeah TE is part of the problem.

This team needs an offseason infusion of players who can block. Rams went cheap on the OL and it bit them. Boom I get it but right away that team friendly deal was felt in the dropoff and of course we don't know if he can do the job because availability. Bruss was unfortunate but your plan has to account for the rook needing time. A backup center at RG is not a plan that is oh shit we are into our depth now.

They can't draft the TE position for shit. That room is so ugly.

Bad roster will catch up with any coach. Even McVay.

So we have to get through this now with some grace. Which means go get a fucking RB. Balance the offense for this shit line. And then compete without squandering our 2nd round and 2024 1st round picks.

It’s probably not a coincidence that Greg Gaines had his best game of the season in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers. After a terrific 2021 season in which he emerged as a key starter up front, posting just one game with a PFF grade above 64 and recording only four total pressures.

But against the 49ers, he recorded his first sack and QB hit of the season. Gaines revealed on Monday that his shoulder had been injured for the first six weeks of the season but he’s feeling good now after the Week 7 bye.



The Rams need Gaines to be the stout run defender and consistent pass rusher that he was last year, using his power to bull rush centers and guards into the laps of quarterbacks. Aaron Donald has done a nice job on the interior, of course, but the Rams need another source of pressure, and until Sunday, they hadn’t gotten that from anyone.

Hopefully Gaines can build on that performance and get back to the way he was playing last season.

Hire him back as CB coach no less no more. He failed at running a defense, granted not much to work with, but should at least be a bit more competitive.

Don't worry. I'm with the boomers on this one.

Trunk or treat is a weak attempt to replicate trick or treat. Basically suburban moms will get their HoA avengers, and line all their Denalis and minivans in a parking lot, open their trunks, place a bowl of candy and let little Chloe and Timmy go from car to car getting candy. Often before it gets dark.

Classic Rams said:

Ah, I see it now. I needed to divide the wins by the total games, not the losses. Doh, my bad.

---------------------------

winning % vs whiners:

Jeff Fisher: 3-6-1 (.3333)
Sean McVay: 4-9 (.3076)

both nothing to brag about, but damn ya think a better coach could figure this out after so many tries.

Let's see here...

Brown was moved to TEs.
Robinson took over pass game coordinator duties.
Sample was hired for RBs.
Shula was moved to DBs and took over defensive pass game coordinator duties.
Beake was hired for ILBs.
Bogardus was moved to OLBs.

Not certain who is the Rams run game coordinator. I presume it is Brown but cannot recall if McVay has discussed this with the media and it is not listed on the Rams coaching page.

So starting with Brown the return has not been good. McVay has acted like he's sitting on a fucking diamond with Brown from day one. But is he. I am not so sure about that. Brown has been with us since 2020 and as RB coach he did not impress me. First off he allowed the team to continue on with the same shit in the backfield and if he was as good as everyone says why wouldn't there have been a goddamn addition who was worth a shit via the draft. You can find RBs all over in the draft. Then they move him to TE this year and we get into the season with the worst fucking TE group in recent memory which is really saying something, given the problems we've had at that position historically.

Also and btw it seems to me that at least with Wes Phillips as TE coach our guys were well prepared. Even the depth types called upon during the playoff run delivered. But now they unilaterally look like dog shit. Even Higs, who historically has hovered somewhere between solid and good, has looked like garbage.

Question I have is whether Brown is the Rams run game coordinator. And if he is maybe that's part of the problem. The dude seems to be in over his head, in terms of looking at the product he's fielding, and this is not a new thing.

Neither Robinson nor Sample seem to be particularly good at what they do either. Robinson in yesterday's game had a good plan put together but the moment SF started dialing up extra rushers the Rams offense was clueless. There were zero hot adjustments, Stafford just got sacked. Sample has overseen a RB group that looks like shit on the field and who reportedly had an explosion by Akers in a team meeting, which seems unlike the guy I thought he was. If we were talking about these guys as players they'd be looking positively JAG-like. I mean for all the shit I just gave Brown he at least never had a RB freak out over playing time, he managed that shit.

We are now the proud owners of the 23rd ranked defense in passer rating allowed. So not impressed by Shula so far in his new responsibilities. Somehow fielding two SS types at safety makes sense to him, and even worse is that Rapp is one of them and he's a guy who we've bitched about forever here. Scott pissed me off yesterday but I get giving him a shot, but we're a contender not a fucking development team so we need production.

Beake appears to be doing his job but the Rams are 13th in average yards per rush which seems on the low end given some of the pieces he has to work with. They have done well with missed tackle rate, though when they play the 9ers that seems to go out the window.

Bogardus hasn't done shit with the OLBs. Our crappy rotational types played better under Henderson last year. Floyd has not looked particularly good for some time so don't want to blame Thad with that but overall I am not happy with his unit even considering the quality problem at the top of the roster.

Right, so I dont think it's necessarily DC related, they pounded us with Wade in game 1 in 2019, then the 2nd game was the infamous "defense couldnt stop 3rd and 16, TWICE" game...
Rams change DC, same result. 49ers change DC, same result.....
