Shula refused to bring more then 4 on obvious passing downs. He called a horrible game. Purdy sat back there read the paper had a drink then got up from his recliner to throw the ball
There was a critical third and long where purdy just dumped the ball off for a first down. Why on earth did we trade for all this defensive talent if we're gonna do the same conservative nonsense?!
 
Rams made that a complete waste of time to watch. Bennett Looked batter than Stafford, but was against non-starters too

I wouldn't put a fucking thing past the NY Giants Harbaugh coached team regardless of how they look against the Cowpies Sunday night. This is real

Was Garrett just tired? Hurt? I know he went up against Trent Williams but he did not look good.

To be fair, most of the team looked tired, out-of-sync, unprepared.

A complete mess.

I am glad they got this ridiculous Australia game out of the way early. If they look like this against the Giants it will be a long year.
Williams puiled up limping multiple times in the game. I thought Garrett was going to take advantage of it, but then we kept pulling him out. The knee has to be a bigger issue than stated, or we have decided we don't need to turn it on for a few weeks

SF won the lines. Their running game after half time embarrassed our D - ripping 10-yard runs like nothing. Garrett had no impact. Smart play on their part to get the ball out quickly. But you would expect that given how much we play each other.

On the plus side, well I guess we ran the ball ok at times. I wonder if momentum would have changed if we had scored to make it 17-14? Stetson got his first NFL completion and run. No more games in AU thankfully.

Flush, reset, fly home, good long prep for the NYG. Maybe AD will play.
 
I’m gonna call this a wake up call. Not gonna overreact unless I see another shit show against the Giants. San Francisco was clearly more energized and disciplined than the Rams. I’ll refrain from picking on individual players, but our “superstars“ will need to redeem themselves tremendously next week if they want to avoid severe backlash.
The one shocking thing that may be an indicator of lasting problems is how utterly flaccid the Rams passing game was.
 
Combination of things. Rams did look flat. Morris knows the Rams offense. He had the coverage and even got a pass rush on Stafford. Stafford's first INT. Rams could have gone up 10-3 with a short pass to wide-open Ferguson to give the Rams a chance at a makeable FG. Couldn't stop Evans. Garrett was ineffective. Don't know why they didn't try moving him around to get away from double teams. Bosa, Warner and Kittle all contribute with no health issues.
 
I don't want to take this energy into the morning so I'll just day my peace. This felt very similar the 2022 opener. Buffalo was just bigger, more physical, and better prepared. Our offense looked lost. I thought week one was a fluke in 2022. I hope it actually is this time.
 
This looked like the failed rams teams of past, poor qb play, no defense, glad we got those new players on D. What the hell was that product on the field? So if AZ wins we are in last place? From superbowl to last place. Go Rams.
 
Slow starts are not new with this team. A game like this will make us question how good they really are. Or aren't.

We'll have a week and a half to wonder if this team is good enough. Honestly, I have no idea.

After the Giants game we got a few tough teams. We'll find out more about them then.

That was a great humbling loss.

Bad day and an embarrassing effort all around. Sometimes a team needs a game like this to expose the things that need to be corrected and remind everyone that nothing in this league is given. Maybe the expectations gave us a false sense of confidence, and the punch in the mouth tonight will be the sobering medicine we need.

They’ll learn from it, get back to work, and be better because of it.

Give tonight’s game ball a proper burial, put this one in the ground, and move on.

I trust this team. I trust the coach. And I trust this organization.

Bad night. Long season. Onward. GO RAMS!!
 
1. The travel plan was stupid and totally backfired. We looked lethargic the entire game

2. Stafford played like complete ass. Worst game I've seen from him in a Rams uniform

3. Play calling was terrible, especially on defense. Shula called the most vanilla plays and refused to dial up the blitz. McVay repeatedly took Adams off the field in the red zone which is absurd

4. Tyler Higbee is washed and I don't want to see another ball thrown his way the rest of the season
