....from losing to SEA in the season finale and being a #5 seed.
The Rams blew some coverages or else they would have won that second game in Santa Clara.
They faced a team in the Championship Game perfect for them to beat.
They are a very good team, but it is not easy to repeat things year after year.
Teams will have a year to study more of what Shanahan is running. I think he is more seasoned than McVay and a really, really good play caller, but the league catches up.
Shanahan has been part of two epic Super Bowl collapses. Cannot ignore that.
I love the hype and adoration they are continuing to get. It is just assumed the two rookies that drafted in the first round (Kinlaw and Aiyuk) will step in and replace the two key guys they replaced. And they drafted a 6th and 7th rounder. That is it.
Yes, Trent Williams is a good trade, but he will have been out of football for 18 months and I do not think he is thrilled to have the same contract. And Staley was the heartbeat of SF IMO.
It is very tough to lose the Super Bowl and have all the breaks it takes to get you there.
