Didn't see this posted in any of the other Dirty Whiners posts. I wonder if McVay said anything to his buddy Shanny or the NFL about all the dirty hits? Warner AND Ward should BOTH be fined suspended IMO.
I would love to see someone put together all the dirty plays in one video!

After Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford threw an end-zone interception in the first quarter of Sunday’s unofficial road game against the 49ers at SoFi Stadium, 49ers linebacker Fred Warner dipped his helmet and took a shot at Stafford, who was basically standing there, not trying to make a tackle.
No flag was thrown.
The quarterback is a defenseless player in that situation. He should not be struck with a helmet or in the head or neck area. The officials failed to call it. In so doing, they failed to protect Stafford.
Making this one worse is that 49ers linebacker Samson Ebukam (a former Ram) had properly screened Stafford from chasing safety Jimmie Ward, without taking a shot at Stafford. Then, after Stafford was clearly not pursuing anything, he got blasted by Warner.
Warner undoubtedly will be fined for the hit. It will be interesting to see whether Warner actually draws a one-game suspension. At a time when the NFL seems to be determined to protect quarterbacks, Warner’s hit on Stafford was not just illegal and but also dirty.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
