znModeratorAnd QB because Stafford is washed up.
C’mon man. He’s not that washed up. Notice that his interception throws are uncatchable. Well that’s deliberate.
znModeratorYou sure about that?
No. Not sure. I think the ILBs as a unit, Speights and Rozeboom, have been playing better than what we saw early in the season. But not to the point of impressive. I said Speights is getting some praise and that’s true. But I don’t know what a cold coaching eye will see in that unit. I expect draft attention to go to both CB and ILB. (Along with OT and WR).
znModeratorDid we ever figure out why the Rams got rid of their best linebacker?
This is just a guess. But Jones wanted an extension. The Rams were not very forthcoming with that. Then sometime over the summer Jones was quoted as saying in public that he had earned and deserved an extension, the gist being that the Rams were not being fair. The way I take it, saying that in public crossed some of McVay’s “we not me” lines and he was abruptly traded. That could be Jones. That could be the Rams. That could be both.
Either way the issues with the Rams D right now are not LB, it’s the secondary, including all the flags against Buffalo. Speights is getting some praise at ILB and ranks pretty well against the run. Jones ranks pretty well against the run too but is no coverage LB.
znModeratorSosa Kremenjas@QBsMVP
Just 8 DTs in NFL history have more career sacks through their first 31 games than Kobie Turner’s 16So you’re saying Kobie Turner is the 9th best DT who ever lived?
High praise albeit a tad premature. I’d like to see a little more before I follow you down the “he’s the 9th best DT of all-time” rabbit hole.
He’s probably more like the 10th or 11th best at this point.
You’re just arguing for the sake of arguing.
Next thing, just watch, you’ll start getting all ad hominem.
I think we can count on that from you. It’s something your type always does.
znModeratorI should add…though maybe this is somewhere else already on the board…
The 49ers made zero trips into the Red Zone.
Not once.
I put this (below) in the “Rams tweets” thread 3 hours after you wrote that post. This kind of overlap is just never an issue.
The tweet here confirms your point and adds some history:
Josh Dubow@JoshDubowAP
#49ers didn’t cross the Rams 25 yard line last night. That’s first time that’s happened for them since a 21-0 loss to the Bucs in Week 11 of 2010 with Troy Smith at QB. They reached the 33 that game (and somehow Singletary punted on 4th and 4 down 7 points in 2nd half.)znModeratorJosh Dubow@JoshDubowAP

Jard Verse’s pressure rate has dropped from 19.3% to 16.9% — could be several factors — ankle issue, hitting rook wall, teams figuring out his bull rush … getting extra blockersreglardless, hoping and extra few days off will recharge him for the stretch run

• 49ers held to 2nd lowest total yards in a game in Shanahan era
• Deebo’s PFF rating was 44.7, lowest of his career
• Glock Purdy: 42.4 passer rating
• De’Vondre Campbell just straight up stops playing footballznModeratorBALDINGER: is this really a 49ers Offense. The mistakes; the missed assignments
My take? They didn’t get the offense ready in the short window before a Thursday game.
The defense was ready though.

Instead of touting how Stafford hasn’t thrown a pick in 5 straight for the 1st time in his 16-year career, I’d rather acknowledge how little stock he puts in streaks like that.His postgame quotes:
“I tried to break it early for you”
“I’d love to not hit Hufanga in the chest”znModerator.@RamsNFL @49ers @kdd7696 just started his 28th steaight games for the rams and a model of consistency. Oh yeah; 1 penalty all season long. Cant block these 2 plays any better. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/SUBfBc27Ip

Purdy did not attempt a run outside the pocket last night- the DL clamped the edges wonderfully! Hes a mobile guy and I believe that was the first game this year he didnt attempt a run outside pocket!That team is dealing with a bunch of issues and even in 2022 Mcvay had everyone locked in, even brought in Baker to keep the team competitive when they were all but eliminated from contention

znModeratorfrom https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5991286/2024/12/12/rams-49ers-tnf-score-result-takeaways/
Shorthanded Rams defense came through
The Rams were shorthanded at cornerback and entered the game third-worst in the NFL in EPA/pass play on deep throws, but veterans Darious Williams and Ahkello Witherspoon combined for a couple of crucial plays late in the fourth quarter.
Witherspoon, filling in for the injured Cobie Durant, broke up a deep pass intended for Ricky Pearsall. Williams intercepted Purdy with 5:14 to play, the Rams up 9-6, on a deep end zone shot intended for Jauan Jennings. — Jourdan Rodrigue, Rams beat writer
znModeratorAdam Grosbard @adamgrosbard.bsky.social
The Rams had a season-high 9 PBUs against the 49ers, without the injured Cobie DurantznModeratorI guess it played a big part? So, its not really just the ‘defense finally showed up’ – its more like neither teams offense could handle the weather?
The weather was a huge part of it in the first half. You could see the rain pouring down on them the whole first half.
Plus the SF defense, which is a very good one, was just all over the Rams in the first half. No one was open. It’s like they knew the playcalls.
But the rain stopped in the 2nd half. The Rams defensive stats in the 2nd half was really their doing, they came through. Weather was not a factor then. Though admittedly the SF offense was missing key players.
znModeratorDe’Vondre Campbell refused to go into the game after two linebackers in front of him went down with an injury. We’ve probably seen the last of Campbell in a 49ers uniform.One of the strangest incidents occurred during Thursday’s game. San Francisco #49ers linebacker De’Vondre Campbell… #NFL
znModeratorJeremy Fowler@JFowlerESPN
The #Rams’ success when Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams are on the field at the same time is undeniable:*With all three: 11-5 record, 27 PPG, 383 YPG, 51 total TDs
*Missing one or more: 6-8 record, 19 PPG, 315 YPG, 29 total TDs

#49ers-#Rams was the first NFL game without a touchdown between two teams who had each scored 35+ points in their previous game since… 1922. That, of course, was the vaunted slugfest when the Canton Bulldogs and Dayton Triangles tied 0-0.znModeratorJ.B. Long@JB_Long

If the Seahawks lose to Green Bay and Minnesota – and the Rams beat the Jets and Cardinals – there’s a high chance the Week 18 showdown between the Rams and Seahawks is meaningless. Crazy!Cameron DaSilva@camdasilva
Would be the 2nd straight year the Rams play a meaningless Week 18 game after starting 3-6 and 1-4 -
