Until the Rams learn to take the refs out of the game, they will struggle to win. I dont like blaming the refs, but the refs are horrible.
This is a coaching issue. McVay needs to fix it.

This. And I am big McVay fan but he is much to blame as anyone for that debacle last night.
The refs are always horrible and I saw them miss some on us. This game is all on the D and STs. At least the D gave us a chance to win. The ST sabotages us EVERY week. And the head coach shut down the offense to put the game in the hand of the ST. It is insanity.
The refs were just as much a problem for the Bills as they were for the Rams last night
The Rams have only themselves to blame for that L
It sucks, I would love to be tied at the the top with a perfect record... and I'm gutted by how it ended.
If we went for the jugular, we would have won.
McVays conservative mentality is - and always will be - his Achilles heel.
He's the Anti-Martz - and it has served us well mostly. And paired with a risk-prone QB like Stafford, we are in need of some restraint, but McVays instincts for when to be aggressive are consistently off it seems.

To win in all out knock down drag out fight you have to have that killer instinct and McVay simply does not have that. Until he develops that mentality and surrounds himself with coaches that think like that the Rams will continue to lose these knock down drag out type games. Nice guys really do finish last in the NFL coaching world.
I agree with this. McVay seems to play not to lose rather than to close teams out like they should. Also, Stafford looks like shit until he's 2 scores down. Reminds me of his days in Detroit.

There were plenty of play option that gave a better shot of getting the first down.
Roll out Stafford with a TE pass option, different screens you could run. Multiple option that take away a sack risk and if its not there can just throw it away. I didn't love the run call, but, I understand it.
McVays mistake was thinking he has a professional special teams unit.
He does not.
This unit is not worthy of professional football.

Sad we convert over 50% of our 3rd downs yet McVay was such a pussy, he couldn't call a play to go for a first down. Utterly disgusted how he acted like such a little bitch in that moment.

Refs were definitely an issue but the Rams had the opportunity to win it. McVay pussied out and was stupid enough to trust a shaky ass kicker....it cost us dearly.
With that offense all we need is a decent defense and special teams. We had neither of those last night.

Early in the game when Puka about had his helmet pushed off his face-no flag. We get called in Denver when the dude barely gets touched. But when its right in the middle of the play, when Puka is blocking, it's OBVIOUS illegal hands to the face and we get nothing, it's BS.
Am I the only one who's starting to think Ty Simpson with his mobility and running threat will give us something that's sorely needed in this Offense? Not saying this year, but in a year or two?

Honestly could give a shit about that now. Worried about the current season going on. Sounds like a more appropriate discussion for further down the road.
That is true. And I as well, still plan on winning THIS YEAR'S Super Bowl with active Hall-Of-Famer Matthew Stafford.
Stafford was absolutely dealing. I am not thinking about another QB until he shows he can't.
Silver lining thru 5 games is there has been no physical drop off with Stafford this year. His lulls in play were due to him forcing the ball. But he can still make every throw and can maneuver in the pocket. He currently leads the league in passing yards and that’s with a 150 yard stinker to open the season.
