    Rams G Austin Corbett is on with us this afternoon. The indication is that there are two major themes stemming from this loss, throughout film study and virtual meetings: Accountability, and camaraderie.

    Gary Klein@LATimesklein
    McVay: “Jared knows that I support him. Jared knows that our staff, our players our coaches are going to work as hard as we can to be able to respond and I think we all know he’s wired the right way to be able to handle it and move on as well.”

    J.B. Long@JB_Long
    “A little bit of a hip thing” in warmups, is how Sean McVay described the reduced role for Rams corner Jalen Ramsey yesterday.

    Greg Beacham@gregbeacham
    CB Darious Williams only played 50% of the Rams’ snaps vs SF due to rotational decisions, Sean McVay says, partly because Jalen Ramsey was a bit limited himself with his hip injury. McVay thinks David Long completed well in his 22 snaps.

    McVay is a great coach but when someone has his number, he’s not good at having an effective countermove.

    This hit me when the Bears shut the Rams down the same way the Patriots did in the Super Bowl. I couldn’t believe McVay hadn’t found an answer to that. And Miami did something similar this season, didn’t they?

    IMO Miami was different. It was similar in the sense that a defensive scheme stymied the Rams and they didn’t seem to adjust to it. But the defenses in question were different. Seattle btw tried some of the Miami stuff and the Rams tore it up. So the issue IMO has to do with in-game tactics and adjustments. McVay seems tone deaf in-game in terms of changing the dynamics when his offense and/or qb are struggling. He doesn’t seem to shift out of what he’s doing and find something more effective. Compare that to Shanahan. The Rams defense adjusted in the 2nd half, and were taking it to them, but then Shanahan adjusted to the adjustment and was able to score twice on them late, taking the lead back–all with a back-up qb. McVay then had the same opportunity and couldn’t do anything with it.

    Shanahan is older than McVay, they know each other well and this seems to work in Shanahan’s favor.

    McVay is a great coach but when someone has his number, he’s not good at having an effective countermove.

    Anyway we’ve played some really good games this year and some pretty bad ones. The season is probably gonna continue like that.

    You can’t write us off and you can’t pencil in any wins.

    PFF ReFocused: San Francisco 49ers 23, Los Angeles Rams 20

    https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2020-week-12-pff-refocused-san-francisco-49ers-23-los-angeles-rams-20

    With quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and star tight end George Kittle out due to injuries, the San Francisco 49ers found a way to knock off the division-leading Los Angeles Rams for the second time this season, 23-20.

    Both teams did their best to hand the other a victory, with the Rams throwing two interceptions and losing two fumbles and the 49ers owning an interception and two lost fumbles themselves.

    STORY OF THE GAME

    Nick Mullens started for the fifth time this season and struggled outside of play-action, completing just 62% of his passes for 5.3 yards per attempt with an interception and no TDs. Mullens connected on all six of his play-action attempts for 99 yards, which makes you wonder why head coach Kyle Shanahan did not lean on it more.

    Raheem Mostert, fresh off of injured reserve, resumed his bell cow role, taking his 16 carries for 43 yards and touchdown. Jeff Wilson Jr. was also heavily involved, gaining 43 yards on 12 attempts. Neither back was exceptional and both fumbled once against the Rams’ strong front seven.

    The offense revolved around second-year receiver Deebo Samuel, who saw a career-high 13 targets. He hauled in 11 receptions for 134 yards but was unable to reach the end zone. Samuel was absolutely electric — he forced seven missed tackles, and four of his catches went for 15-plus yards. The Rams as a team only forced six missed tackles and had two passing plays of 15-plus yards.

    Richard Sherman saw his first live action since his Week 2 injury and did not disappoint. Jared Goff threw his way five times, but Sherman allowed just three to be caught for 49 yards while snatching an interception.

    Speaking of Goff, it was an outing he will want to quickly forget. Like Mullens, he couldn’t find the end zone through the air and missed consistently on passes 10-plus yards downfield. On such throws, he completed just one of seven attempts for 30 scoreless yards and a costly interception.

    Due to Goff’s struggles, only one receiver was able to reel in over 50 receiving yards. Robert Woods was his quarterback’s safety blanket, corralling seven passes for 80 yards, but he was only able to gain three first downs.

    The ground game was similarly inefficient outside of second-round rookie running back Cam Akers, who had an impressive 61-yard scamper down to the goal line and eventually punched it in for a touchdown. He finished the bout with nine carries, 84 yards and the one score. Malcolm Brown handled only three rushing attempts for a measly 4 yards and lost a fumble, which resulted in Sean McVay sending him to the bench. Darrell Henderson was not stellar, either, carrying the ball 10 times for a paltry 19 yards.

    Although both teams forfeited points off turnovers and could not keep drives going, the 49ers were able to improve to 5-6. The Rams are now 7-4 but have gone 3-4 outside of contests against the faltering NFC East.

    ROOKIE WATCH

    Outside of Akers, there were few rookies who took the field in this matchup. For the 49ers, fifth-round offensive lineman Colton McKivitz received his first start, and the lack of experience showed. He allowed two QB pressures and was being getting beaten by defenders on two more occasions when Mullens was able to release the football before they reached him.

    First-round defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw fared much better, generating one pressure, nabbing three assisted tackles on seven snaps against the run and pulling down an interception that he took 27 yards to the house.

    For the Rams, only safety Jordan Fuller saw significant snaps on either side of the ball. The 49ers made it a point to test him, throwing the ball five times into his coverage. He allowed four to be caught for 94 yards and four first downs. He missed two tackles but did grab a nice interception, saving the day from being completely awful.

    . I’d guess he would be better than Goff, but who knows?

    Well good, here’s a chance for a completely NEW board war! 😉

    IMO but…Bradford just never had the same degree of sheer qb talent Goff does.

    This game is on McVay. With 3 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game and you have the ball at your 25 yd line, he did some horrible play calling by not trying to work your way down the field and run the clock. Throwing a 30 yd pass on 3rd and 5 was just inexcusable. Several of these losses that we are racking up from sub par teams is basically on McVay by stupid play calling.

    Goff the last four games: 6 interceptions, 4 fumbles. Just throwing that out there.

    Last 4 includes a game they won when they couldn’t run and relied on passing 51 times against a top defense.

    You’re my lifelong brother, H, but, counting just the negative doesn’t give the full picture.

    It’s a real question as to whether the future is in the bad games or the good games or endless oscillation between the 2.

    Though actually it’s 3 bad games out of 11 (since I don’t put the Bills loss on the offense). Not that even just 3 is acceptable.

    But I’ve already responded in this thread too much. 😎

    you were called out today in the Chat for womanly cowardice by somebody, and I think that tarnishes your opinion somewhat.

    You are, sad to say, not in enough chats.

    You don’t seem to realize that being called that in our chat room is a high compliment of the first order.

    I blush when I hear it again.

    All I can do in response is curtsey modestly, and giggle.

    Jared Goff was responsible for three of the Rams’ four turnovers in a 23-20 loss to the 49ers. Goff now is tied for second, along with Kirk Cousins, for most turnovers this season with 14. Only Carson Wentz has more.

    Aaron Donald remains a favorite to win a third NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

    Today: He tipped pass that was intercepted, forced a fumble that was returned for a TD and had a sack.

    Donald leads NFL with 10 sacks, 40 QB pressures and is tied for first with 4 forced fumbles.

    We have different ideas of “will to victory.”

    And I bet the qbs that regularly meet your definition are a very short list. I mean throughout the league and across time. Even Warner showed he wasn’t the same when he did not have a top OL, a hall of fame RB, and two hall of fame WRs. In Arizona he did have Fitz.

    Meanwhile, it is significant, and not negligible, and part of the actual equation, that Goff has been an important part of several Rams wins that could not have happened without the passing game working at the end of close or tied games.

    BTW I rank Goff higher than Bulger and I liked Bulger. There are things Goff can do that Bulger just couldn’t.

    Jared Goff keeps making mistakes, and Sean McVay is calling him out

    Jourdan Rodrigue

    https://theathletic.com/2227446/2020/11/29/jared-goff-sean-mcvay-turnovers/

    INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Sean McVay bubbled with rage at the podium Sunday after a 23-20 loss to San Francisco, the Rams’ first loss in their new stadium and their fourth consecutive loss to their division rivals from up the freeway.

    It isn’t just that the Rams lost.

    It’s how they lost.

    The Rams turned the ball over four times. Quarterback Jared Goff was responsible for three, throwing his ninth and 10th interceptions of the year — a second straight game in which he’s thrown two picks — and coughing up a fumble, his seventh of the year and the fifth he has lost.

    “Our quarterback has got to take better care of the football,” McVay practically spat, in what was perhaps his most blunt public criticism of one of his players — especially his franchise quarterback.

    Maybe that’s because it wasn’t just the fact that Goff turned the ball over. It’s how he turned it over.

    One interception went for an all-too-easy touchdown return on the second play of the second half, and gave the 49ers a 14-3 lead. Another, in the first quarter, went directly to veteran cornerback Richard Sherman, so naturally that it seemed Sherman — and not Robert Woods — was the intended receiver. The fumble happened in the second quarter when Goff elected to run with the ball, barreling into a defender instead of sliding down safely with the ball tucked to his chest.

    “Too many times, we beat ourselves,” McVay said. “And we just have to play better. We’re not taking good enough care of the football and that’s something that has got to change. Otherwise, I’m going to continue to sit up here and say this week in and week out. It just can’t continue to happen.”

    He already is doing that, though. “Week in and week out.” In his last four games, Goff has thrown six interceptions and lost four fumbles.

    Even when Goff has played well in problematic phases this season, like in a comeback effort in Buffalo, or when executing extremely well against blitz pressure over the last two weeks, it’s hardly been a totally clean effort. Never has there been a moment this year to really unclench, because of the turnovers. Take last week at Tampa Bay: Goff’s play success rate against the blitz was 80 percent, nearly double what it was three weeks earlier in a catastrophic loss to Miami and its Cover-0 defense. Even so, Goff threw two interceptions.

    It’s just not enough to perform well in some areas and come undone in others.

    Goff knows it.

    “At the end of the day, (the turnovers) need to be eliminated,” Goff said postgame, agreeing with McVay’s comments that he needs to take better care of the football. “I don’t think that there’s one thing that needs to stop. (I) just need to be smarter with the ball and (have) better decision-making. That’s part of my job.

    “I may be good at other parts of the job right now, but that’s the main part. That’s something I need to be a lot better at.”

    Sunday, the Rams reverted to what has become their pattern: Hand the game away multiple times on offense, then hope and pray that their defense can do something superhuman to save them.

    The defense, led by All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald, almost did it, too — and in stunning fashion.

    Donald had a hand in wrecking several 49ers plays, including a batted ball in the first quarter that was intercepted by rookie safety Jordan Fuller (his third in two games). In the third quarter, Donald blew up a Raheem Mostert carry and stripped the ball. Cornerback Troy Hill scooped up the ball and ran it back for a touchdown — the first Rams touchdown of the day, which narrowed the 49ers’ lead to 17-13.

    Donald sacked 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens for a loss of eight yards on the first play of the next series, which set up a three-and-out punt.

    Even Aaron Donald’s extraordinary play couldn’t lift the Rams to victory. (Kirby Lee / USA Today)
    The Rams then took a 20-17 lead early in the fourth quarter on a three-play, 68-yard drive, all of which came from rookie running back Cam Akers. On the next series, Rams defensive lineman Morgan Fox sacked Mullens for an 11-yard loss on third down, and the Rams got the ball back with almost 12 minutes left. The game was theirs to take.

    But the offense failed to put together a scoring drive — no, not even a field goal — on its final two series. Meanwhile, the 49ers kicked two field goals to ultimately tie the game, and then squeak away with the win. Robbie Gould hit the game-winning 42-yarder as time expired.

    “Football is a game of momentum,” receiver Cooper Kupp said. “How well you can respond to the upswings, and also, how well you can respond to the downswings. There’s going to be that — regardless of whether it’s a turnover or a bad play, it happens in football. We have to do a better job of responding. I think there is a natural human element to feeling like you have to adjust your game plan (after a turnover), or do something different. We’re at our best when we’re able to play freely and do what we know we can. … We have to find ways to make that a week-in, week-out, day-in, day-out thing.

    “It is tough, in the middle of games, when you’re trying to get something going and you just can’t quite get over that hump, to be able to try to find that energy and have someone be able to make a play for you. … We were able to do that for a little bit there at the end of the game, but it’s just way too late to have something like that, to get into that lull.”

    A few pundits said the Rams could be a Super Bowl team after consecutive wins over Seattle and Tampa Bay, two of the toughest opponents they’ll face all year.

    They won’t be if they can’t beat the teams they’re supposed to beat, including a 49ers team riddled with injuries and players on the COVID-19 list.

    They won’t be if they keep making the same mistakes and expecting different results.

    They won’t be if this offense opens up too many leaks and takes on too much water for the defense to frantically plug up. Donald and others on the Rams’ defense are extraordinary — even superhuman at times — but expecting them to save the day every time is not a sustainable model for success.

    The Rams will not be a Super Bowl team if potential on either side of the ball is wasted by a few poor decisions … every … single … game. Kupp said the offense operates at its best as a function of the whole. It finds its rhythm when all players, including the quarterback, execute their specific roles at the same time — much as fingers fold into a fist before a swing.

    Try punching something with that fist if one finger is sticking out the wrong way. The finger breaks, and the entire hand becomes useless.

    So now, the Rams are playing a game of offensive whack-a-mole: Hammer out a problem, and a new one presents itself the next week. And the Rams are running out of time to exorcise this troubling facet of their identity.

    McVay, speaking about the things he and Goff will work to fix, in hopes of cleaning up the turnovers, said: “It might be keeping two hands on the ball. It might be understanding that if someone is swarming around you, you can’t just throw it away when you don’t see where you’re going. Being able to trust your guys to be able to separate. Overall, any time you turn it over as many times as we did — as he did — it’s just got to be better. And he’s capable of it, but we’ve got to be able to get it done.”

    McVay doesn’t ask Goff to execute outside of himself. For McVay’s offense to be successful — even explosive — his quarterback is only asked to be consistent.

    Right now, it’s not about Goff’s potential ceiling. Instead, as the coach and quarterback continue their partnership through the crucial years of Goff’s long-term development, the two need to honestly ask themselves: What is Goff’s floor?

    That’s where the fixes actually start.

    . I don’t remember a single game where Goff willed the team to victory.

    I can. I think the problem is not that he hasn’t done it (he has) it’s that people don’t remember it.

    He has to his credit 8 game winning drives and/or comeback wins. Those are situations where if the qb doesn’t come through with little time left, then you don’t win. They include the Green Bay game and the Kansas City game in 2018. They also include the 2018 championship game in New Orleans.

    There’s a few others and then…there’s last week.

    Last. Week.

    At. 3:53 they had a tie game. They then win it on a drive that was entirely passing, leading to the tie breaking FG.

    In a game where the Rams could not run and threw the ball 51 times against the league’s 3rd ranked defense (it was at the time, now it’s 6th).

    So yeah he has done it.

    goff has to hit hendo on that throw to the endzone. that was a big chance right there.

    Timing and chemistry. There’s no such thing as just hitting a deep ball. That’s on both sides of the equation. The more familiar they are they better they can be in those situations. It’s not like Goff missed the spot–they just did not connect. But–have you ever seen DH time up a long pass well and catch it? Has he ever done it?

    he’s slightly above average – a 10-15 qb. he could get marginally better but he’s starting to plateau.

    I don’t agree. We’ve seen him be better, by which I mean games where he shows a higher ceiling. The question is what causes these down games–which McVay shares the blame for. How come Shanahan can dial up plays for a 2nd stringer against a tough defense and Goff is left to taking coverage sacks?

    Rams face 49ers, who have had their number lately
    First-place Rams, who have lost 3 in a row to the Niners, know teams are trying to figure out their No. 1 defense

    Rams face 49ers, who have had their number lately

    When a bright young coach seems to have the NFL all figured out, sooner or later the league will get him figured out.

    It happened to Rams coach Sean McVay after his innovative offense was the rage in 2018.

    It can happen to Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley any week, month or year now.

    “I think that’s something definitely Brandon will have to be ready for in the offseason, when the whole league gets to study the special things those guys are doing over there (on the defensive side),” Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell said, no doubt wishing he had that problem.

    Or maybe Staley should be ready before that, knowing an opponent could find the antidote to the Rams’ league-leading defense at an inopportune moment in the regular season’s next six remaining games.

    Sunday afternoon, the Rams (7-3) play the San Francisco 49ers (4-6) at SoFi Stadium, the current NFC West leaders facing a defending NFC champion overwhelmed by injuries and COVID-19.

    A rematch of the Rams’ 24-16 loss to the 49ers in Santa Clara in October, this is the first of three upcoming games for L.A. that will be second meetings with division opponents, occasions that can be the laboratory for tactical invention.

    The 49ers, with coach and offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan, have given the Rams more trouble than any other foe the past two seasons. The 49ers have beaten them three times in a row, twice when the Rams were favored.

    In 2019, the Niners won a defensive battle at the Coliseum and a shootout up north that turned on two third-and-16 conversions against the Rams defense then coordinated by Wade Phillips. In Week 6 of 2020, they piled up the most total yards any team has recorded in a game against the Rams defense in Staley’s first year in charge.

    Rams quarterback Jared Goff doubts the 49ers have found a formula for beating their rivals, since San Francisco’s three wins were so different. But Goff didn’t sugarcoat what happened.

    “They’ve gotten our number though for the last three times,” Goff said. “Hopefully we can buck that trend this week.”

    Teams began to figure out how to stop McVay’s offense late in his second season, after the Rams began to play in prime time frequently in 2018 on their way to the Super Bowl.

    The rest of the NFL has gotten just as good a look at Staley’s defense this season, with the Rams on four Sunday and Monday night national-TV slots already.

    The latest was their 27-24 win against Tampa Bay and Tom Brady on Monday. It was the second straight win over a playoff-bound team with a Hall of Fame-bound quarterback, following the previous Sunday’s 23-16 win over Seattle and Russell Wilson. Two games before that, there was the Rams’ 24-10 victory over the Chicago Bears in a Monday night battle of ballyhooed defenses.

    Staley speaks of the imperative to “self-scout,” to spot weaknesses in the Rams defense before opponents do.

    “What’s very critical as a coach is how others see you,” Staley said. “As much as you’re studying them, you need to know how they’re seeing you.”

    It might be even harder for offensive coaches to figure out a leading defense than it is for defensive coaches to defuse a hot offense, since a good defense is by definition somewhat different from week to week, adjusting to the offense it’s about to face.

    “I think that you evolve as the season goes on. You never stay the same,” Staley said. “Each week has a life of its own.”

    The Rams defense presents two particular challenges for the great minds around the league.

    One is Staley, 37, whose ability to adjust to surprises from opposing offenses is evident in the fact the Rams have allowed only three second-half touchdowns in 10 games.

    Another is his players. The defense is built around defensive tackle Aaron Donald and cornerback Jalen Ramsey, stars at their positions. And it thrives on versatility among a deep roster of players like cornerback Darious Williams, rookie safety Jordan Fuller and linebacker Micah Kiser, whom people are just discovering – or edge rusher Leonard Floyd, whom people are re-discovering.

    No amount of brainpower prepares an offense for Donald.

    “It’s about our players, number one, and then being able to kind of have (Staley’s) philosophy come to life,” McVay said.

    Playing with the responsibility of being in first place in the division for the first time this season, the Rams have such an advantage in good health right now that the 49ers offense might not be able to execute even the best Shanahan game plan.

    With Jimmy Garoppolo among the 49ers stars on injured reserve, Nick Mullens is the starting quarterback for the fifth time this season, coming off double-digit losses to Green Bay and New Orleans.

    The Niners have been hit hard by COVID-19 cases too, and learned Saturday that a Santa Clara health directive barring sports could force them to move their next three home games.

    Meanwhile, the Rams canceled a practice Friday in part as what McVay called a “precautionary” move after a player and staff member tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, only to later test negative twice.

    The Rams go into the game as 6 1/2-point favorites but wary.

    “They’re the reigning NFC champions, a couple plays away from being Super Bowl champions,” McVay said. “I know too much about these guys, their coaches and their players, to ever take anything for granted.”

    I’ve been doing a lot of thinking the past few hours. Yes, it’s a global pandemic. No, this season was never going to be fair. Yes, they could have been more careful. But the league is putting the Broncos in a horrible position and diluting its product…

    Playing a game with no QB and zero prep? That’s bad for business, in my opinion. League should consider pushing the game to Tuesday, when 3 of the Broncos QBs could theoretically be cleared.

    teams actually following the protocols are able to manage everything well and have isolated cases.

    Correct. The Broncos could have avoided this if their QB room had just worn masks like the protocols say to do. It’s simple.

    One month ago, he worked in sales. One day ago, he woke up a practice squad player with no idea he was about to play in his first #NFL game. Today, @Kendall_Hinton2 woke up as a @Broncos starting quarterback.

    A loss today by the Patriots (4-6) would end their 17-year streak of at least 10+ wins, the longest such streak in @NFL history.
