    Carberry 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.

    If 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.

    Reich 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.

    I 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

    The three teams expected to be in on Tom Brady for 2023 are the Raiders, 49ers and Dolphins.

    Nobody has that much depth even if they have all their draft picks, and then some.

    I 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.

    “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@kurt13warner
     I 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 discussed

    I 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@kurt13warner
    Overblown meaning we didn’t add a “whole” new gameplan at halftime?

    The 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.

    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@FieldYates
    With 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.

    Spent the night around Charger fans. The aggravation towards Brandon Staley is like nothing I’ve ever heard.

    Ejiro 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:

    This is his history with the Rams:

    Going 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@bgrisakDTR
    Leave 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.

    I’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.

    do 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:

    Thanks 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.

    “The ultimate thing is you want to make … sure that this joy, this zest, this ability to be able to do the things at the level that you know you’re capable of, how do you not let the challenges and the grind and the competitor in you … how do you not let that change the dynamic of who you want to be as a leader in those types of things? And that’s kind of where I’m at.”

    He lets stress get to him in interactions?

    The veteran players will tell, explain & emphasize to the Rookies that the #wildcardweekend games are indeed very different. But it’ll ONLY be after the game when the rookie will fully understand what just happened and what exactly those DIFFERENCES are!

    Sean McVay has work to do on staffing and one name to keep an eye on is a familiar one—ex-Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur.
