I am no football expert. But I have watched the Rams and the NFL for too many decades to be proud of, so here is my unsolicited opinion.

THIS SEASON BOILS DOWN TO McVAY CONTINGENCY PLANNING.

All teams have good players. All teams have good coaching. The football always takes funky bounces. But one thing that is clear to me is that in the past, our coach has been slow to adjust to a defense that has "caught on" to his approach.

This is a normal part of the NFL game that I think makes or break the Rams season. It's not if, but WHEN, a team tweaks it D to take away the new wrinkle(s) McVay has installed this season, has he set up (and trained his team) to go to Plan B, or even Plan C?

There is one rule in which I firmly believe: You can't take away everything. A defense has to make choices. So I'm hopeful McVay has already been working and training his team on his countermoves when the expected adjustments by opposing defenses kick in.

He's clearly smart enough. He has boundless energy. This seems like a given. But his track record does not make it 100% certain to me.

That is my $0.02 on what could be a GREAT season for our Rams!

Of course, I will be watching with great interest as this story develops...

Just read a yardbarker article...don’t know how to attach, that Cooper Kupp had a lackluster game against the Cowboys. That he needs to step it up because he just inked a new contract, and his effort against the Cowboys just wasn’t good enough. Huh? I don’t think lackluster is in Kupp vocabulary. What a stupid comment. The article said that he only had 4 catches for 40 yards. Last time I checked, Cooper isn’t in charge of target distribution. What does this writer have against Koop?

Was wondering about this after watching McVay not wearing his most of the game. Bet he comes out with a face shield next week.

1. We won. Everything else is commentary.

2. I think the Cowboys are a pretty good team, so this was a quality win.

3. I thought McVay did a very good job of game planning to take the Cowboys pass rush, which is formidable, out of the game for the most part.

4. Not a ton of holes for the running backs, but I thought they did a good job of ensuring that we had positive yardage on virtually every play.

5. You have to love Malcolm Brown. 6th Round pick... playing behind a franchise back for his first 5 years... RBs drafted every year to essentially take his job... and he's not only still there... he's thriving.

6. Jared Goff had a solid outing. The INT was obviously not his fault (should have been a 15 yard penalty) and there were a few (Everett, Jefferson, Brown) drops.

7. The deep throw to Jefferson was a thing of beauty.

8. Yes, that was offensive pass interference. Textbook, really. They "surprised they would call that at that point in the game" take is silly. The rules are the rules.

9. Aaron Donald really messes with opposing teams' game plans.

10. Michael Brockers had a nice game.

11. Jordan Fuller - what a huge play for the rookie!

12. Leonard Floyd did a good job rushing the passer.

13. Seeing Jachai Polite in a tight 4th quarter on the field and pressuring the QB was pretty remarkable. There's talent there... hope he continues to show it.

14. Sam Sloman's first FG attempt was pretty ugly. Jury's still out on that one.

15. The new stadium is impressive. Really impressive. Can't wait to see it full.

16. I thought the new uniforms looked pretty good. Still would have preferred making the throwbacks permanent, but you can't always get what you want.

17. Taylor Rapp's limited role was surprising. I suspect it was situational, to a large degree, but its not what you want to see in a promising second year player.

18. Overall, you have to like the Game 1 contribution of the rookie class.

19. The piped in crowd noise was interesting. I found myself forgetting that there were no fans in the stadium. I'm sure the players didn't feel that way.

20. Its been a long offseason. I really needed this one!

Bit of a shocker.

Did not get to see the game but am curious on other Rams Fans thoughts/opinions on how the Rams Defense (Especially, The Linebackers) played last night. From what I have read the Rams Defense was kind of “BEND BUT DON’T BREAK” last night??? And, I did see replays of Fuller’s STOP which may have saved the Game for the Rams! GREAT WIN FOR THE RAMS!!!

Not a bad start. Certainly made up for his missed 1st field goal. I give him a B+ for Game One.

Was anyone hurt tonight?

That was probably the dumbest call I've ever seen. It was 4th and THREE yards to go. They had an automatic FG there to tie the game, and lost by 3 points. McCarthy has some explaining to do. But thanks anyway, thanks for handing us the victory on a platter.

I dug through military records for my Grandpa. This Liberty ship called the USS Mifflin, brought my Grandfather and his fellow Marines from the 4th Division to Iwo Jima. Gramps would lose a lung to a "Jap" sniper, as he termed him. Most certainly that Japanese soldier died in Iwo. This is the USS Mifflin

Maybe Malcolm Brown for 1.. 2. Maybe Sloman for bouncing back after that missed FG? 3. D for their last stand?

Maybe I missed a few things. Good to hear everyone's thoughts.

Mine go to Ramsey and Fuller on D, Brown and the OL on O

And a great scheme by McVay with the quick outs and the screens.

But I thought they looked pretty damn good in the run game!

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!

simply put, I took a fucking beating LOL

So are the cards actually good or are the 9ers worse. Maybe it’s the SB hangover.

Our defense was mediocre last season. Loss of Fowler and Littleton could mean defense will decline.

I am still optimistic. Defense is about scheme. Excited to see what Staley brings.

First up is Dallas which will be a good test.

Ok, I love Mom, so lets get that straight.

I grew up in SoCal until age 12 years old and then moved away. When I was grown and married, I drove tour bus trips from NY City to LA (23 days), and it was while in Las Vegas on one such trip, that I experienced In-N-Out. It'one of the best burger chains in existence and then I found out it's a peer of McDonalds that never went National. They had them in LA when I grew up there.

"Mom, have you ever had In-N-Out?"
"Oh, they are so good!" She said.
"You ate them when living in SoCal?"
"Well, yes," she said [BUSTED}
"How come we went McDonalds a million times and never to In-N-Out?"
"Well honey, In-N-Out was more expensive, and so...." She stumbled.

Mom, yur dead to me.
