December 1st, 2025, 6:54 am My take on what I witnessed at the game December 1st, 2025, 6:54 am My take on what I witnessed at the game
I was at the game yesterday and these are the things I witnessed yesterday, and many of them are very confusing and disturbing:

I sat in section 113 Row 1, so I was directly at the 40 yardline behind the Rams bench. So close, I could hear the coaches talking to the players.

First observation: Shula was NOT prepared nor did he have a proper game plan for the Panthers. He played (Raheem Morris) soft shell zone defense the entire game...First of all, Bryce Young is a 3 step drop back quarterback!! With our pass rush, no way in hell should you play a soft zone defense giving WR's a 5 - 7 yard cushion with a quarterback that's going to throw the ball that fast. This is why Young had so many completions. This is also why Carolina running backs had so much success in the flats.

Observation 2: Shula took Forbes out of his comfort zone yesterday basically forcing him to play zone defense when his strengths are clearly man coverage. Forbes has had success over the past 6 or 7 games because he played his style of football.

Observation 3: Whitterspoon is NOT in football shape yet!! There were several times he was on the field and missed tackles and was beat on several pass plays that Bryce Young did not see. They need to pump the brakes on Whitterspoon because he isn't ready and to be honest, he kinda messed up the chemistry the Rams secondary has had since he was out with that injury.

Observation 4: Sean McVay has NOT learned the simple basic traits of football in 9 years!! Every football game is different each week, and you have to adjust to what's working for you as each play of that particular play goes by....The Rams run game yesterday was absolutely clicking from the first carry. Kyren Williams and Blake Corrum was gashing the Panthers for 7, 8, 9 yards a carry, especially on first down, and McVay could not stand that as he just refuse to not be pass happy. Stafford should have had 0 ints yesterday if McVay would have just ran the football like it was no tomorrow. 3rd and goal at the 4 yardline should have been a run all damn day and if it fails, kick your field goal and get 3 points instead of an interception off a defenders helmet.

Observation 5: The weather yesterday was absolutely horrible. I sat there in a steady rain from mid first quarter until the end of the game. On top of that it was cold!! It was probably between 39 and 40° for the entire game. I remember hearing Avila telling the ground crew the sideline heaters aren't blowing much heat, and the grounds crew guy just shrugged his shoulders....That rain and cold alone was reason to run the crap out of the football, especially since it was working. If McVay would have run Kyren and Corrum 20 carries each, Rams win that game by 2 touchdowns!!

In closing, the Rams were humbled yesterday after bad coaching decisions from both McVay and Shula. Neither of them were prepared nor had a good game plan for the Panthers nor did they take consideration of the weather to construct a proper game plan.....on a good note, I got to meet and talk to Tory Holt yesterday as he came up to row 1 of my section (113) and talked to many fans for atleast 30 minutes and signed autographs. He signed my Rams hat and we took a picture together.

I hope the coaches learned something yesterday as we lost to a team that should have been blown out. These next 5 games need to be masterpieces starting with Arizona next week.

Thank you, as always very classy move. I’d actually peeled back a bit based on some posters behaviors. We are all entitled to to our own opinions but personal attacks based on differences showed levels of intelligence and maturity. To me the truest measure of character and intelligence is the ability to have a conversation with someone you disagree with, yet you respect his or her stance. Culture, education, exposure, and emotional intelligence all play a role.

This season sure feels a lot like 2021… and Matthew Stafford is on a special kind of burner.

Thank goodness today’s game didn’t rely on our defense… but my goodness, Matt is on a level like I’ve never seen before.

He’s hungry for a Super Bowl… Like ALL of us.

That no look pass was amazing today

We need to wrap him in bubble wrap (between games) till we win the Chip!

And whatever that silver trailer was used for at camp, KEEP IT ONSITE 24/7 at Rams head qtrs!

Rams were a non-call intentional grounding penalty from pitching a shutout. Mayfield was not outside of the box………

As others have said what a game by Forbes. What a month………….

Durant big plays in the 1st half………….

D is a very good tackling unit. Very good……………

Remember when this offense could not score in the RZ? Problem solved D.A.

Adams is a no brainer IMO in bringing him back next year…………..

McClendon has had 3 straight solid games in pass protection…………….

Mumfield can be counted on when called on……….

Mevis yep Mevis. Snead great find………….

It was nice seeing the opponent start a drive on their 20 after a kick-off. Can we now see more?………..

Let Rivers return punts. Not your RB1…………….

Offense is unstoppable if we had that one receiver that was a true threat deep…………..

I wouldn't mind seeing Hunter a bit as others have suggested…………

Make a list of QB’s who have started at least one game this year. And then ask yourself if you want Stafford here until he decides to retire at whatever it takes year to year to keep him. Even 2-3 years……………….

Rams did what they were suppose to do today. Unlike last week…….

Why McVay remains so damn stubborn at times to continue running the ball inside the RZ after driving the length of the field with mostly big run plays……..

McClendon is now Mevis IMO. He doesn’t get replaced……..

Nacua just enjoy………..

Run D was back today……..

What again was some saying about Corum in here just 2 weeks ago………..

How you allow the only 2 players on the other team that can beat you to continue making catches in the first half………

We saw the old ugly Witherspoon today. Not good………

JMO the only thing stopping this team other than the offense turning the ball over is this secondary. And the later can seriously end this season before the ultimate destination……….

Landman another game making plays……..

Next 2 weeks is the season in regards to #1 seed n first round bye. Just how you want it after 13 games. Rams control their own destiny……..
