our reactions to the 9ers game

Horrible game. Rams need to draft early and often for offensive line. Creed Humpreys intead of Tutu, 8 days a week and twice on Sunday.

I know it’s sacrilegious to say this, after the Super Bowl win, etcetera . . . but, yeah, the Rams gave up waaaaay too much for Stafford. He’s not the essential difference. Goff could have won with last year’s team, IMO. And Stafford is not looking good this year. He’s not as good as Herbert, Mahomes, Allen, etc. If the Rams had mortgaged the future for Herbert, I’d be all in. But not a guy who’s been beaten to a pulp for more than a decade and is on the Back Nine of his career. And they’re stuck with him. Cap hell for at least three or four years.

Stafford is the What If QB par excellence. If drafted by a decent team, he’s All World from Day One. But far too many years in Detroit. Rams got him too late, except for One Year — which was, of course, an awesome One Year.

The Rams also need a powerhouse back. Akers is not the guy. I like Henderson more, but he can’t stay healthy. They need a 240 pounder, to hurt the defense. Beef up the O-line AND the running game.

Too many injuries for the Rams this year. I hope they prove me wrong. But I don’t see them getting back to the Big Dance right now.

I think the reality of trying to repeat a 17 game Championship season is next to impossible .  We’ve been very fortunate with injuries to the Oline  for 5 years and it was bound to happen. The defense is banged Up as well especially the secondary. Jefferson s out till week 8 at least Obj won’t be ready until December rookie Rb out for weeks . I’m not saying they can’t get it together but 2 and 2 is not so bad when you consider the adversity.

hopefully Matthew Pickford and the Rams peak in Dec and Jan like last year.

you’re right zn…patchwork line got dominated… 6 sacks…

when does OBJ’s knee get fixed?

We don’t have a first round pick, in 2023. That is in Detroit.

True but don’t trivialize a world championship. You can’t keep everyone .   A first round QB or OT is no guarantee.think of all the UDFAs they’ve hit on.

Last night’s outcome in SF is typical for when the Rams are healthy.  It doesn’t surprise me that playing that game down a bunch of o-linemen, WRs, and DB’s didn’t improve their fortunes.

I knew that pick six was coming. You can’t target the same receiver every play against a defense of that caliber without them making you pay.  Not that I blame Stafford. He’s got no running game, no protection, and only two serviceable receivers (Kupp and Higbee).

Missed the game, and i dont wanna watch the low-lites.

Looks like the season depends on whether McV can patch together

a decent OLine.

I hate to see a great vet-QB battered all year.   Not a good plan.

i think the oline was an issue even before the injuries.

but no.  no team could have done well with all the injuries the rams have suffered at oline.

niners are a tough team regardless.  i’m just hoping the rams can put together a decent season.
