QuoteRamgator VERY poor O line with very mediocre RBs. Sorry, gator. Enough with the injury excuses. That was then and this is now. If Allen can play this Sunday then our projected starting OL vs Saints will be virtually the same as on opening day. The only difference would be Nsekhe at LOT instead of Boom.

Honestly, too many questionable decisions have been piling up and now the chickens have come home to roost. Such as: Questionable draft decisions. Questionable starting player decisions. Questionable asst coaching hires. Questionable schemes. Questionable play calling. Man, that’s a lot of ‘questionables’, don’t you think? The games are now VERY hard to watch.

Don’t give up on LA Rams QB Matthew Stafford just yet by Bret Stuter The LA Rams know that the offense has been incredibly ineffective so far in the 2022 NFL season. While we have (and many continue to) lay the blame solely at the feet of a batter, bruised, restitched-together offensive line, that is simply not the case. At least that is not how recent evidence has stacked up so far.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
What McVay, Rams’ offense need to do to knock off Saints by Michael Ferro The LA Rams come into this week as losers of three straight games. That means that the Rams have sunken to the bottom of the NFC West and have quite an uphill climb. After their week ten loss to the Arizona Cardinals 27-17, the Rams now have a 1-3 division record, and only have two divisional games remaining agby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

I fear that McVay has acquired tunnel vision in play calling, or maybe he has simply lost his fastball. OTOH, his options are greatly limited by assorted injuries. Not eliminated but definitely limited. But given McVay’s stubbornness and ego don’t hold your breath waiting for him to hand over play calling duties.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Sean McVay isn't giving up play-calling duties coach in the NFL is his play calling. Sure, he’s a tremendous leader and puts together strong game plans, but his play calling makes him one of the better coaches in football. His play selection and situational calls this season have come into question during the offense’s painful struggles throughout the year. The Rams rank 29th in poinby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteh2omelonhead Interesting that Kupp gets injured the week after he called out that Grass should be used for Football games, not Turf. And then Stafford gets a concussion.. maybe on Turf. Will the Rams make a move on the Field situation? Changing from turf to grass at SOFI is simply not doable. And it’s not about the cost. The field is in a gigantic pit 100 feet below ground level.

Hear me out… McVay kept starting the useless Evans which jeopardizes his QB among other things. Sure enough, Stafford suffers a concussion which probably cost us not only a game from him but probably a win vs hapless Cards. As a result of Stafford’s concussion Wolford starts. He not only embarrassed himself but his poorly placed passes reduced Kupp to 4 catches for -1 yards AND got Kuppby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

There will be ample opportunity to discuss offseason moves and the draft in detail after the season. But some generalities for now? Gotta ‘fix’ the OL. Not gonna sugarcoat it.
