Sean McVay Appreciation Thread

[NorCal RF]

Bottom post of the previous page:

It’s damn sad, and a bit irritating IMO, when someone has been 100% refuted in their stance but continues to try to prove themselves right and everyone else wrong……..

The D was playing well. You don’t give the other team the ball at midfield when your D is. 66 said it best McVay is no longer making decisions as a OC but as a HC based on what is actually going on in that particular game. It’s really not hard to understand. 99% does. Can’t help the 1% but hey continue beating that drum………

It is so funny when he says " a drafted kicker should be able to make a 57 yard Fg indoors ". Lol. He has absolutely no idea how hard and rare 57 yard fgs are. He is thinking it is as easy and as common as a 40 yard Fg. My bet is that this guy doesn't watch a lot of football.

It is just mind boggling, I guess it shouldn’t be considering……, the pure lack of understanding the difference of 45 yards or in this case 42 yards as it relates to how the D was playing Sunday. He states the punt didn’t win the game but it did. It gave the D more plays if needed to make a play, stop them, and they did. Giving them the ball on the 5 instead of their 47 was huge.

And this BS from him on “what no confidence in Karty you homers” well we all know that wasnt the case. You stated well the risk there for any kicker no matter where they were drafted………

Act is old from you know who…………….

IT DIDNT WIN THE GAME.

Landman creating a fumble at the Rams 18 yard line did. If they score a TD there, the Rams probdbly lose bc McVay didn’t kick a FG earlier when he had a chance.

Pinning them deep didn’t matter at all. Texans drove it down the field anyway.

And are you not a Karty fan? If he’s so great, why does McVay not trust him to put 3 points on the board and take the lead from 5 to 8? Scoring is always better than punting. And a 57 yard FG indoors should be something a drafted kicker should be expected to do.

Holy hell so much wrong there

The odds are it helped (punt) win the game. No one play wins a game – even walk-off game winners had a hundred proceeding plays impacting the overall final result. I’m not discounting clutch play in final minutes, but again you sound very simplistic in your evaluation (almost agenda-like lol).

Landman’s punch was huge obviously, but unless you know the Texans finally get into the endzone otherwise, it’s still pure speculation ("won the game"). Of course no Rams fan wanted to see them try thru a continued drive obviously.

So, punting them deep was the right call. It made a team that hadn’t been in the endzone all day make it that more difficult to finally do so. More plays to stop them thru turnover or turnover on downs. Long field harder than short field

Scoring is better than punting, wow brilliant. Missing a FG and giving Houston the much shorter field at that point in the game is better than zero points LOL. 57 yd fg is probably 50/50 with Karty (?). Last play of the game/end of a half etc. you roll with it. At that time of the game though with the defense extremely solid, punt it deep.

Scoreboard baby. I think the Rams left more points on the field than Houston, but who cares. McVay’s (also potential) game winner last pass to Puka was potentially big as well BUT had it been incomplete, sure LOTS of complaints would have erupted. That’s sports. JUST LIKE if Karty would have missed the fg and bad things ensued.

All coaches lose games. Sometimes a perfect play call runs into the oppositions perfect play call, even if pure luck. Things are just magnified in the games most crucial times.

McVay is a top play caller, yes even with only scoring 14 points on Sunday LOL. The best minds in football (coaches) agree, you don’t. Points per game is not the only metric. Wins is the biggest ones…and a coaches influence around the League. McVay is at the very top of all that.

“ So, punting them deep was the right call. It made a team that hadn’t been in the endzone all day make it that more difficult to finally do so. More plays to stop them thru turnover or turnover on downs. Long field harder than short field ”

This^ sums it up well for 99% of us…………….

McVay liked our D over that FG attempt - it's a close call, but I liked it at the time. You think it was a chip shot - most probably disagree.

Couldn't have a killer instinct last year until we got some healthy bodies back. Until then it was a pretty reduced playbook...and don't eliminate the jet sweep as long as teams are looking for it as well - sometimes you run things to keep teams honest/set other things up at the very least. Nit-picking is so easy...so stop passing if you throw a pick?

Rams won. Your way they might very well have lost. Whatever

Truth has a friend!!!!

Any bet they both just hope for a screw up by McVay or Stafford on Sunday so they can gloat………..

Or is Duane actually truth? Hmm…………

[Slickjack]

Punting from his opponents 40 when leading by 5 points was one of the dumbest decisions I have ever seen.

You are in an indoor stadium.
The difference between a 5 point and 8 point lead is huge.
You claim or believe your kicker is going to be one of the best in the league.

Kick the FG. Be agressive at putting points on the board instead of punting when field position means nothing.

And he’s done this before so he’s never going to learn. It’s surrender punting and it’s just anti-winning.

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of McVay homers. Do you actually watch the game or just look at the final score?

You insinuate that a 57 yarder is a gimme. What would be more dumb than giving the opponent the ball at their own 47 ?

[Slickjack]

Bingo. Pinned them on the 5 and let our defense win the game. Truth is just an uneducated bitter poster for some reason.

They could have closed out the game with a touchdown on the first and 10 from the 11 when the fumble occurred. However, if you kick the field goal and go up 8, you still have to get a stop to win. The Rams clearly outplayed the Texans and deserved to win, irrespective of the way it devolved.

IMO he should have kicked a field goal.... you're at home in an indoor stadium for crying out loud. A 55 yard field goal is a chip shot in the NFL when indoors.

Also not trying to get a first down on 3rd and 10 on your own 40 yard line I thought was pretty lame, but I saw a lot of that last year which was why the Rams were near last in the 3rd down efficiency.

The offense at some point needs to develop more of a killer instinct but I was impressed with the pass to Nacua to get the first down on the Rams last possession... I nearly fell out of my chair... I thought for sure he was going to call that worthless Jet Sweep play.... I'd like to see that play eliminated from the playbook.

Correction : 57 yards.

That is what I am thinking.

Game on the line and instead of going the safe route with a running play the rams converted a game winning 3rd down through the air. Thats not a killer instinct?

Instead you complain about the rams not attempting a 57 yard fg, earlier in the game, that wouldn't have sealed the game bc the Texans could still tied with a td and 2 it conversion.

In summary when it came down to the rams making a game sealing play, they showed a killer instinct. Despite that, you feel the rams dont have a killer instinct bc they didn't attempt a fg that wouldn't have sealed the game.

I think this is safety blitz C29....

Sounds like it could be that Karen that stole the baseball from the kid in Philly.
