VENT Vent Thread - Rams/Packers

[I like Rams]

Looking great??? Our defense has been struggling, Matt has looked like crap through more quarters than he has looked good all season, and our offense is stale af with Kupp being the one winning most of our games. The talent we had to face was lacking enough to cover up our weaknesses.

Rams gifted TEN 14pts, gifted SF 14pts, and gifted GB 17pts at least.

Turnovers are 100% our problem right now. And the games would be different.

Can we turn it around? Sure. Will we? Probably.

Run Michel more. Hendo is too soft.

Michel absolutely deserves more touches than Hendo at this point. He runs *SO MUCH* harder. And he’s better in pass pro!! I know it was a kickoff return but he carried like 3 dudes on his back for a good 11-12 yards.

Tampa had a similar struggle in the middle of their season last year.

Huuuuuge talent difference between us and Tampa last year. It's not even close really.

Not to mention they had a healthy Tom Brady and we have an obviously hurt Matt Stafford.

When the Rams were 7-1 with an MVP candidate Qb i said to my bro this is too good to be true.. pinch me. It was.. hard to take but it is just football. Hopefully the season turns around. Have a great week fellas.

Its simple... dont turn the ball over and you might win games...

We handed the Packers what.... 17-20 points and lost by 8

 

[Da-Rock]

I don't look past McVay for this. We had a bye week and he changed ZERO!

I see 2 more wins this season and a miss on playoffs as the 49ers will take the last spot.

This is an entertainment business so there is NO mercy for a Football team.......too bad so sad. This is why they get paid so much.

Yep. Getting sick and tired of seeing Hendo just barrel into the interior OL with cut back and bounce out Lanes available. And going gown with each ankle tackle.

This board is a victim of this teams own expectations after the 7-1 start.

At the beginning of the year people really thought we would beat Green Bay in Green Bay?

I bet 75% didnt.

I definitely didn't so I'm not really mad about the loss. I expected it.

At this point we can't even be talking playoffs while the Niners are only one game behind us and we can't beat them if our life depended on it. Not looking good fellas.

No they cannot turn it around.

They are too injured to make it even close this year.

They refuse to play the secondary close to give the front 7 a chance.

When Aikman says that is just too easy on 3rd and 4.

When they lose the TOP by a full quarter of the game.

When there isn’t anything close to stopping the opposing team.

Hang it up. The season is over.

I didn't, but to give the game away like we did is what's frustrating, and it's three games in a row. But by your same comment we also thought we could have won the last two that we lost.

The Rams mortgaged the farm

i mean being realistic..

losing @ SF and @ Green Bay... that isnt really that suprising.

But we have to find some wins somewhere to get in the playoffs.

 

[TXRams86]

My question is: And replace them with who?

Hear me out. I may be completely wrong here but I think McVay is so in over his head on the offensive side of the ball that he doesn't have the capacity to manage the other sides of the ball. And that's a problem that needs to change. He's gotta give up being both HC and OC.

If we were to fire both the ST coach and D coordinator we'd be worse than we are now. Not that they're good at what they do, but because I think they're doing a better job than anyone else on the roster could. And definitely better than McVay could right now because his priorities are elsewhere.

Agree 100%. After 3 games in a row, I fully expect them to do it next week versus JAX too.

There’s not a “huuuuuge” talent gap. Sorry that’s nonsense. And Brady played extremely average for large chunks of the season last year. Tampa was 7-5 heading into their bye week. He had a 4 game stretch where he threw like 11 picks.

My biggest concern about the offense is their slow starts. I have much bigger concerns about the defense and McVays decision making.

 

[Allen2McVay]

I see 2 more wins this season and a miss on playoffs as the 49ers will take the last spot.

That's the spirit!

 

[Marc Spector]

Outside of:

-firing Decamills, Morris, and Bonamego (just for good measure)
-Benching Reeder
-And letting O'Connell actually scheme the offense

We are strapped as all of our personnel decisions have locked us in to this squad.

lets not have 7 vent threads...

Does the @ really mean anything of late vs SF? McVay can't beat him it seems. Either way we've lost a game or two we should have one including at him to Arizona. We gave away any chance at three of our four losses. There's plenty of reason to be frustrated as a Rams fan right now you know that very well.
