QuoteHazlet Hacksaw Agree the offense was truly offensive and put the D in hole after hole They gave up 20 points total. Didn't 7 of those come on a very short field of like 30 yards after a costly turnover? I'm just scratching my head how the focus seems to be the defense. I think there is some fear here to look at the real problems with the offense and McVay. So we're reacting emotionby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteferragamo79 ???? more than 6 games......really since detroit I think McVay is just as much an issue as Snead. They've both contributed to the construction of this team so they both share in any credit or blame. But McVay is also complicit in the collapse of the offense and hasn't shown he knows how to make the necessary adjustments to get it back on track. It's goes much beyondby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteWhiteHorns Quotedzrams Quoteferragamo79 now what I've noticed he's a stubborn guy to go with his abundance of good qualities. I'm hoping he realizes his scheme is in need of major adjustments. Probably get fired eventually, as Belichick did in Cleveland and then move on to become the greatest coach in NFL history for another team... It would be very sad if it turns out this way.

Quotechico n da rams Allen, Demby & Havenstein are absolute sieves right now - with zero depth behind them. So much for Blythe "bulking up". Now Whitworth is jumping the shark. Gurley is our 3rd most effective RB, and is siphoning 40+ mil away the next 3 years. And this is one of the bright spots. Our D has to play 10 yds off the ball (because they can't play press) and is theby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotestlrams13 Even Ray Charles could have seen it's all O line So if the line cannot hold up for enough time to allow the routes to develop, what's McVay's answer? I've seen no adjustments.by dzrams - Game Time Forum
QuoteRamUK Me included. The offense is an embarrassment.by dzrams - Game Time Forum
It seems most post are about the D. I'm wondering how McVay is gonna fix the offense. That's on him and at this point we know that the OL is weak. What's his move? Its been 3 games now.by dzrams - Game Time Forum
QuoteRam_Ruler And no change yet. And maybe he didnt know he would need it this badly. They probably didnt expect the OL to be so bad. My concern is McVay has shown that flexibility and adapting is his weak area. I think that's pretty conclusive now.by dzrams - Game Time Forum
I'm not seeing any quick passes. The OL is not giving enough time for the routes in his current scheme.by dzrams - Game Time Forum
Quotemerlin Obviously he doesn't do that every play. But not going to argue over language or caveat things here. Rams need to get him back how he was during the playoffs last year when he buckled down and played most of the calls. He's not there yet IMO. I don't see how you know he's not playing the calls. Obviously something went wrong on the ONE play you cited. But I don't make determiby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemerlin 14:16 1st Quarter Seattle on their 17 2nd and 18 I put this up on another site but if you have all 22 look up the play. Peters bails out to 5 YARDS PAST the first down marker, leaving a huge soft spot in the zone that Seattle completed for a nice gainer. It was right out the gate, on a play where NRC compensates with a huge strip fumble. Peters came back up and got the turnoveby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemerlin Well it isn't really possible when he bails out on almost every pass play. But if you want to agree with PFF go right ahead man, cheers. I think we all realize just from the description that bailing out on almost every pass play is, at the very least super hyperbole. I don't think it's factually true. Over the entire year there haven't been a lot of passes in his direction. Soby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 The Rams really need to spend their money and draft picks wisely anymore in order to stay at or near the top year after year. Long term huge contracts to Goff, Gurley, AD, Cooks, Woods, and Havenstein make that imperative.

QuoteRam_Ruler Is it talib and Johnson regressing then? Our secondary has looked off Both Talib and JJ3 are ranked pretty low this year. I think we've seen that with Talib. I'm not so sure about JJ3. Last year he was ranked highly and I remember him being all over the place. This year I haven't focused on him but I don't recall him playing badly; I also don't recall any great play.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRamUK I thought the only way to get out from under such a contract was to trade and the other team pick it up or restructure. Him retiring will accelerate everything if I'm not mistaken.

Quoteferragamo79 I bet they finish 7-9 again.....already 2-3 People talking them up to be a great team but they are not at all Tampa is probably in that middle ground behind greatness and sucking.

QuoteRams_81 Doesn't make it right, but once these players start doing that stuff, they get screwed on plays that are even close. Matthews is well down for the 15 yard flag for the past years so now he is getting screwed. He could have easily hit a little lower and stayed out of the grey area. If he already has the rep nothing he can do now. What are you suggesting? Not try to sackby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax Quotezn Quotewaterfield I'm starting to see what you are seeing-in the Brady/Goff comparison. I only wish Goff has as much time in the pocket as Brady does.
