znModeratorBlaine Grisak@bgrisakDTRCarberry leaving is a mild surprise. Given the injuries to the OL, not sure how much of the overall performance can be pinned on him. Tough business. Curious if it has more to do with changes McVay wants to make in the run game.

znModeratorChris Mortensen@mortreportIf Frank Reich does not land a HC job, he is an obvious candidate for the @Chargers OC, and that’s been speculated in past month or so. He’s been with @Chargers previously, he would bring head coach experience to staff and his integrity is unquestioned..Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueReich was a name I heard for Rams when there was uncertainty whether McVay would be back. It would certainly be interesting if McVay got bullish on the idea of a LaFleur hire and Reich ended up with the Chargers. But, it makes sense w/ playcalling available to a LAC OC.
znModeratorDan Orlovsky@danorlovsky7I don’t know how you can watch what happened in Tampa this year and than watch that tape back from last night and not think “We have to start all over again from the bottom” -zero energy -zero creativity -zero adjustments -look totally unprepared -both sides of the ball.NFL Rumors@nflrumsThe three teams expected to be in on Tom Brady for 2023 are the Raiders, 49ers and Dolphins.
znModeratorNobody has that much depth even if they have all their draft picks, and then some.

Matt Waldman@MattWaldmanI have a novel idea: When your offensive line is crap-tastic due to injuries and retirements, maybe you don’t blame the pocket QB, the RBs, or the OC. Maybe you don’t fire the OC. Maybe you just acknowledge the injuries and move forward.
znModerator–The Cowboys…looked scary good.
–Mike McCarthy drops the mic on a 4th and Goal.
–0/4 on extra pts…Unprecedented?
–Does Kyle Shanahan need a SB more than any other HC to solidify his legacy?
–Should the Jets go all out for Lamar?
We discuss. @gmfb on @nflnetwork

znModeratorAwful Announcing@awfulannouncing“I don’t know if I ever made a halftime adjustment in my entire 18-year career. I think that’s the biggest myth in football- the halftime adjustments. You go in, you use the restroom, you eat a couple of oranges, and then the head coach says, ‘Alright, let’s go!'”- Peyton Manning.Kurt Warner@kurt13warnerI find this interesting… so u all never went in at halftime (so to speak) or made an adjustment on the sideline mid-game to do something different? We added plays! Adjusted how we would block something! Pulled out plays we had used in the past! Talked about a different approach!.Geoff Schwartz@geoffschwartz
I can only speak to what we did upfront but I can’t recall adding a run play at halftime. But don’t you make those adjustments all throughout the game? I also think his broader point is what I’ve said for years which is halftime adjustments are overblown in how it’s discussedI remember we needed to change a code word (or add one) for an outside zone once. The opponent had figured it out. So we just did it in between series. Everyone communicated on the headset and we rolled. Took 30 seconds.
Kurt Warner@kurt13warnerOverblown meaning we didn’t add a “whole” new gameplan at halftime?

znModeratorThe all-in strategy of general manager Les Snead and McVay in trading for veteran stars worked great in 2021 but not so much this past season.
I expect a lot of that kind of analysis, even though of course it’s not very good or insightful. It’s sort of the status quo media take on the Rams season.

znModeratorArya@vyrv_I love how Purdy basically threw a bunch of dump off TDs to wide open RBs in the flat and screens where deebo did everything and people are literally calling him the second coming of Brady !?!? Shit is getting comical at this point I’m sorry.Field Yates@FieldYatesWith Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle, the 49ers have arguably the best RB, the best WR and the best TE with the ball after the catch in the NFL. These dudes all can scoot.
znModeratorBrandon Staley *could* get fired. Raheem Morris *could* get a HC job.
Staley back to the Rams as McVay's DC? I wouldn't be opposed to it. https://t.co/iy2saxzVKo

znModeratorEjiro Evero (might be an HC, might not be granted DC interview w/ LA)
Reminder. Evero is a former Rams DB coach. His Denver D this season was 14th in points, 7th in yards. Denver wanted him because he’s part of the Fangio tree:
Broncos’ DC Ejiro Evero Opted to Keep This Vic Fangio Doctrine in Place

This is his history with the Rams:

znModeratorThere are a lot of potential DC options for the Rams going into next year, pending Raheem Morris' HC interviews:
Vic Fangio (might be paired with Sean Payton)
Ejiro Evero (might be an HC, might not be granted DC interview w/ LA)
Brandon Staley (might get fired)

znModeratorFishkiller@FV_Mylia_LynnGoing into this game I thought the “Staley will be fired if the Chargers lose” narrative was dumb – but if the Chargers lose after leading 27-0….Blaine Grisak@bgrisakDTRLeave it to the Chargers to blow a 27-0 lead in the playoffs after winning the turnover margin +5. Brandon Staley will have A LOT of questions to answer after that one. Defense had a 27 point cushion – 10 heading into the fourth quarter.
znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueI’m not used to watching these games on my couch this time of year and have been yelling about officiating. It apparently freaks out my dog, so immediately after screaming “YOU IDIOT” etc. I give him a treat and whisper, “not you, you’re perfect.” Unclear what habits are forming.
znModeratordo we have any idea what happened?
Yes. I followed some leads and have his obituay.
We know he had been hospitalized a couple of times leading up to his break in posting. He was hospitalized for some very serious things. That year he was in evcry game chat that he could get to, and then during the playoffs, he was nowhere to be found. He was a very private guy who lived alone, and I had no outside contacts for him, though I did have some leads. I assumed he passed back in January. Recently I dug up the leads and found this:

znModeratorThanks for that, Z, but I already gave it a thread
Sure. Yeah. I knew that. I just thought it needed to be placed in a less conspicuous place where fewer people might see it.
Good point.
