losing FULLER and

[brasilrams]

I could be wrong but wasn't RIGHT after we lost our signal caller that our defense started to look lost ? I mean , I will never excuse Morris and his prevent bullshit , AND all that bad tackling but losing our signal caller might have had a bigger impact than we think .

About the game , I think we can all agree that there is a lot of blame to go around . But I say it all the time , the game is won and lost in the trenches , the rams lost on both sides of the ball today and frankly , the score does not indicate the ass kicking we got . Should have been worse , we even get help from the refs ( helmet hit on JG on that JR pick and that Cooper Kupp td , I don't think he got both feet ) but even with that , we couldn't make it happen after having a 17-0 lead .

A total team meltdown after we gave the 49ers their first 3 points before half . Let's recap :

- Bad play calling by mcvay makes the offense punt and leads to niners first 3 points right before the half .
- bad play calling from morris , bad tackling and poor effort, and inability to stop the run even when you know the run is coming , ( pathetic ) leads the niners to tie the game so it is 17 points unanswered. ( 17-17 )
- Game on the line , Ramsey comes with the pick , and then , STAFF and the offense goes there and score to go 24-17 . So STAFF didn't choke here , quite the contrary , he was CLUTCH . This was supposed to be enough to win the game , and it ACTUALLY is - 99 % of the time-, when you score a TD , get the lead and the other team has less than 80 seconds and no Tos left .

Now, Needing only a first down to WIN the game bad play calling from mcvay makes us punt the ball and gives them a final chance , a remote one , but a chance anyway .

AT THIS POINT , Despite all the S** that happened and or O line and D line getting destroyed for most of the game , and the fact we had to punt , I was 99 % sure we would win the game because you know , JG only had 80 seconds and no TOs .

BUT :

JG scored a TD to tie the game with only 80 seconds on the clock , and no Time outs . NOT ON MCVAY , NOT ON STAFF , NOT ON THE O LINE . In a situation like this , 99 % of the time the defense can win the game . It was not Aaron Rodgers or tom brady , it was JG ! with 80 seconds left and no TOs !!

Well , anyway , they win the coin toss , score a FG . Now , here comes Staff , he has a chance to make it happen , but under threw OBJ , like he does most of the time in the these deep balls ( so much for that arm strength ) .

So , while this game should have been over in regular time if not for the defense meltdown and Morris bad scheme , Stafford did have a chance to score a TD and win the game ( or a FG and tie it ) in over time and he didn't . So , FIRST and FOREMOST blame the damn defense , then AFTER that , you can blame him ,but even before blaming him , blame the o line that failed him the ENTIRE second half ( actually the entire game , only reason he could throw in the first half was because he was releasing it quickly ) . He is still an upgrade over goff and he can make throws that goff can only dream of , but I would expect a veteran to not make stupid mistakes like this . Oh and he is very much like mcvay , keeps saying he will change but he never does . I am sure he will say that last pick was just him being too aggressive like he always does .

We are still division champs but finishing the season like this , I don't know , it is the kind of loss that DESTROYS a team's soul and morale . It is hard to imagine they can recover and come back breathing fire next week , HOPEFULLY I am wrong . You can say AZ also lost but they didn't lose 6 times in a row to a division rival and blew a 17 point lead . I can only imagine the celebration in the locker room for winning the title , everybody with their heads down .

Dead spot on. We are not talking one or two critical mistakes we are talking like 8 9 10 critical mistakes in this game. It's so bad it goes without saying. Mcvay is writing a horrible choking legacy.

exactly ... way too many critical mistakes to overcome . Just impossible.

Yeah we looked lost good point

[brasilrams]

After Fuller got hurt, Rapp was seemingly pulled from the game. Both starting safeties were gone.

Even though the defense was lame, it should not have come down to a defensive stop. The offense went weak and conservative at the very end of both halves instead attempting to stick a dagger in SF. How could the Rams not get a first down at the end of the 4Q and run out the clock? They just gave it to SF.

I see your point and it is a good point . But 80 seconds to go , SF no Tos and you can pin them back inside their own 20 and you have AD ...JR...etc ? what are the odds ? mcvay was too conservative with 3 runs in a row , a play action could ice the game .... ONE first down would ICE the game , I know but he was playing it safe . I would be more aggressive and stick a dagger too , not giving them the ball back , but I can also understand mcvays logic when playing safe like this . Throw the ball and so much BAD *** can happens so , he just played safe , 3 runs , kill some clock and punt the ball . It is JG over there with 80 seconds left , not joe montana. Defense should have NEVER allowed JG to score a TD with 80 seconds left , no Tos and 85 yards to go . NEVER .

[brasilrams]

It was pathetic on both sides.

What happened to the aggressive defense that crushed SF almost all of the first half?

I just can't understand either . WTF happened at half time . Our defense was destroying them . All of a sudden , they could not stop the run at all and every ball carrier for the niners would break 3-4 tackles before going down .

Ummmm, that's why it's called a "choke job," because Sean McVay simply has a psychological block against his team defeating the 49ers, it started back in 2019 and it will continue for the foreseeable future.

Subconsciously, he simply won't allow the Rams to win vs. their archrivals... :( :? :cry:

hummmm ..... let me see .

Mcvay was not on the field or even calling plays when the defense led by super stars allowed a below average QB ,to drive 80 yards under 80 seconds and no Tos left to score a TD and send the game to OT .

We can go back and forth all day with this, and much of what has and is being said has value but when all said and done………….

Rams had the lead with less than two minutes to go and the Niners drove the ball the length of the field from their own 11 with no time outs left, a QB with a completely torn ligament in his thumb, and with two back up OT on the field…………

And you have defensive players on the field named Donald, Miller, Floyd, n Ramsey…………….l

Exactly. Not supposed to happen.

[UK Rams Fan]

I come away from games like this feeling really bad for players like Ramsey & Kupp who put in their all and made big plays only for others to not produce at the same high standards expected of them. This includes the decision making from the sidelines.

We bought these players here to prevent that very thing from happening yet Debo and Jimmy constantly tare us a new one every time we play them.

It can't surely be a case of too many chefs, so it has to be on the DC?

SF aren't even known to be a heavy blitzing outfit, yet when they rushed only 4 they were constantly getting through and making life difficult and we just couldn't cope.

Unreal..

That's precisely why it's called a "choke job," with the game on the line the Rams collapsed.

Several supposed all-time great defenders, yet not one of them could make a 'big play' when it was desperately needed.

Now our team is reeling into the postseason, with *zero* confidence... :( :cry: :x

It’s pretty obvious…

Just before the half, the Niners picked up their boot straps, and put their big boy pants on…

Came out from the half donning them proudly, and as hard as we fought, we fell short…

I was getting over my hatred for SF, morphing over to the Seaducks… not anymore

What was the word on Fuller…
