A little food for thought

Should be 15-0.

That's a terrible indictment for mcvay coached teams. He cant hide from this.

[DelMar]

Should be 15-0.

EXACTLY...

Thats just it. We lost almost EVERY game that we controlled for most of that game. Literally, we handed these losses to the other teams on a silver platter. This is what just pisses me off.

There is NO reason a ST's unit should EVER cause a loss (unless we missed FG's). But other than that, just do your damn jobs.

This is insanity , ok , sometimes teams COMES BACK , and when you think you got them , they come back out of nowhere and beat the crap out of you . IT happens , ONCE maybe ? BUT 4 FUCKING TIMES ?!?!?!?! This is on mcvay , entirely . He goes soft when he has a lead , his defense plays soft prevent when he has a lead AND his ST's sucks ASS and contribute directly to all those losses because he refuses to fire Chaseburn .

We used to complain about Morris prevent, soft D all the time and now the same happens with shula . I am thinking this is the way MCVAY wants the defense to operate .

[RonMac]

These numbers are mind boggling- McVay is entirely responsible for this and MUST / MUST do some self evaluation on this major flaw in his HC bag and make the required changes . Seems to lack a dominant killer mentally in finishing games.

[GoldenRam]

Absolute insanity. Those are not the numbers of a serious contender. That shows a serious total lacking

GULP!

HAPPY HISTORY LESSON!!

For so long as I've been a Rams fan, over half a century, being self-destructive at 'crunch time' has been the overall pattern, from Roman Gabriel to John Hadl to James Harris to Pat Haden at QB, during my early fandom. Later it was Vince Ferragamo's critical interception in Super Bowl XIV after Nolan Cromwell's dropped potential 'pick six,' of course Super Bowl XXXVI saw Kurt Warner throw a 'pick six' to the Patriots which wasn't dropped. During the 1985 NFC championship game, Eric Dickerson lost two fumbles to the Bears, while the '89 NFC title showdown featured Jim Everett's 'phantom sack,' and who could forget Az-zahir Hakeem's muffed punt near the end of the Good Guys' 2000 'wild card' loss?

Of course, the Rams enjoyed considerable regular-season success over most of those seasons, yet it is the rare non-self-destructive versions of our team, in '99 and '21, that are remembered positively by fans, I'm figuring.

When even its superstars (Kurt Warner, Eric Dickerson, Nolan Cromwell) are remembered for critical postseason meltdowns despite overall superior careers, that's a clear indicator of long-term self-destructive tendencies, from George Allen to Sean McVay.

That's been the pattern for quite a long time...

RAM SEASON!!

Let me remind everyone, Shula is a Morris clone with a little twist.
The reason Morris lost his first coaching gig with Atlanta (and TB) was blowing big leads.

Shula consistently plays “not to lose”. It battle, that’s what eventually gets you killed. This is no different
