sean and jared. they screwed it up. miami had no business being in this game except for the stupid decisions made by those 2. unbelievable. but. i think they can learn from this. i think they will learn from this.

I don’t think McVay will learn. He has been consistently pass happy lately.

He planned to pass against the Niners. And it failed miserably.

That was his plan against the Bears. And the Rams got lucky. That was a 10-3 game when Kahlil Mack sacked Goff and forced a fumble on 3rd and 2. If the Bears recovered that ball, that game could have been completely different.

The Washington game was kinda similar, but their offense was so terrible that day that the Rams pass happy approach didn’t matter.

well. i’m not completely convinced.

the rams are 4th the nfl in rushing attempts per game. so i’m not sure what happened. but i wouldn’t characterize mcvay as pass happy necessarily. maybe a result of just thinking too much? i have no idea.

the one thing that gives me hope is mcvay i believe has only been calling plays since he got to the rams. he never called plays when he was with washington. so. i have no idea how what kind of learning curve there is as a playcaller.

or maybe mcvay has to hand over playcalling duties.

but i definitely don’t think you get rid of him.

trying to look at the bright side.

rams defense is now #2 in yards allowed.

#4 in rushing yards allowed.
#2 in passing yards allowed.

#4 in points allowed (well… tied for #3 with kansas city). and only half a point per game from being #1.

pretty impressive. half the season officially in the books.

i’m still waiting for the seattle game. arizona game could be a challenge too. both ranked #1 and #2 in total offense.

This is Goff’s first year with this level of control over the offense. Prior to this, he was McVay’s puppet doing whatever his earpiece told him to do. Now he has more control and has a much longer leash. He’s still a work in progress learning to read defenses. But when you put his play into that context, Jared is doing very well and will only get better with experience.

Goff is a true franchise QB in every sense of the word. Snead chose right between Goff and Wentz. Goff continues to validate the Ram’s choice and is every bit of a franchise QB. This has allowed the FO to build a complete team around him on both sides of the ball. Everything points to Goff becoming a complete QB and having a very long and successful career.

i think goff’s ceiling is a top 10 caliber qb. he’ll never be consistent enough or good enough against pressure to be a top 5 qb.

he’s in his fifth year. i think he’s getting ready to plateau. but that’s not a knock on goff. he’s a good qb. and the chances of finding a top 5 qb to replace goff are just not realistic. he can take the rams to a superbowl. well. he already has. but he can get us to one and win one. it’d be cool if it was this season.

he really stuck out this last game.

i really like this running attack.

brown and hendo are both solid and tough.

burgess looked good today. but i’m bummed about his injury.

i hope a’shawn plays.

Rams could use the help.

i’m hopeful. i thought i read somewhere that when the coaching staff at detroit was overhauled robinson became a casualty due to system fit.

who knows? but this is a massive massive dude. he’s got length. he’s powerful. he’s only 25 years old.

Terrell Lewis played the first 14 snaps of his career last week & it was good to see him out there. Used a long-arm on his best rep. His reaction afterwards is about how close he was to a sack. I’ll be watching him closely going forward. Rams DL could use an edge to emerge.

wow. the speed and the power and the explosion. just seems different compared to any of the other pass rushers the rams have. i hope this works out.

Does Donald make that list?

he has to finish his career first. he’s less than halfway there.

longevity is the only question with donald at this point. but everything else is there.

but i’m not an expert or anything. i just watch donald, and i find it impossible to believe that there are 10 defensive linemen out there who are/were better than him.

i saw that you listed 8 so far. 2 of them being merlin and deacon. it’d be wild if donald made that list. that’s crazy. and i’m sure youngblood would make some people’s lists.

zn wrote:

That’s insane to me. I never, ever believed it was possible for a interior defensive lineman to be this productive.

now there are some great dlineman to have put on a rams uniform. just crazy that donald belongs in the same conversation as them.
