Biggest change from last season I’m noticing right away… last season it took us 5-6 games to start to get our groove going.

Now this season, it’s just taking till the half of each game to gel.

So, we’re def on the right track… BUT, we need to pick it up next week and not wait till the 3rd qtr, as the Eagles ain’t no B team. Their defense looks even tougher this season than last.

I like this approach early in the season and the hot weather. They are just getting into game shape. I have worried a little about our run defense, especially next week.

Like I stated in the other threads, the Titans suck and even if we played an average game we would beat them. Even though the play calling in the redzone in the 1st half is pretty typical of McVay, but the reasoning for passing with only 30 seconds left in the 2nd quarter (with only one time out) when the Rams got the ball starting the 3rd quarter was pretty mind boggling. But I've learned that is the kneejerk reaction that McVay has imbedded in his coaching style. But I think once McVay stopped talking to himself and looked at things from a wider lens, the Rams offense played a near perfect 2nd half and Stafford threw some beautiful passes. I thought for a moment we had a slightly faster version of Dan Marino out there....

The OL played damn good.... I'll admit I was worried about Stafford getting smacked around, but only got smacked a good one only once.

The defense again played well, but there is one DB I'm a bit concerned about (Forbes).... I see shades of Kendricks... He get's burned a lot. But I think he's a rookie, and he's learning on the job.

Forbes is not a rookie. He was a first round pick of the Washington *Redskins*.

You have trollish takes at times. You do it to be annoying and to get a reaction. It has NOTHING to do with McVay.

Agreed and still odd that he has so much negativity against a top 3 nfl coach, that over 95 percent of the league which they had.

Duane has to thumbs me down because he knows I'm right. He says stupid shit for engagement and plays the victim when he's called out. That's Safety Blitz for real. I see right through him. Hes such a jobless loser that he comes back on multiple accounts. Loser behavior.

90-57 which ranks 9th overall in current winning % for HC…….

Most important by far the highest winning % for the organization for HC. And as we all know most wins by a Rams HC……..

And some of us know how good this organization was year after year until they moved to St. Louis…….

But hey let’s continue to be subjected to the BS……

Sure ignore let him just continue. Sorry not me!

Troll!

That's what I don't get. He ignored everything from 2017-2020, just to make a point about what happened between 2021-2024? I wouldn't change our coach for anybody. Hes the best damn coach we will EVER have.

There is no snow, we are deeper, we have better ILB play plus Poona should help the run game, the DL has one year more experience together, and that goes for a lot of positions plus more overall depth equals we should be better and give the Eagles a close game but we shall see.

Rams are 27-26 since 2021.
Top 3 coach? Seriously? I can name 10 teams that wouldn’t trade their current coach for McVay,

Chiefs
Ravens
Eagles
Lions
Ravens
Bills
Lions
49ers
Broncos
Chargers

None of these teams are just like “if we just had Sean McVay, he’d get us over the hump”.

That is a ridiculous list. First of all, to even get to ten you had to repeat two teams — the Ravens and the Lions. And honestly, I find it very hard to believe you actually think the Chargers, Lions, Ravens, Bills, and Broncos all have better head coaches than the Rams. That’s absolute insanity.

These guys are getting their teams to the playoffs, sure — but guess what? So does McVay, every single year. The only small difference is that in the past five years, McVay not only got to the Super Bowl, he actually won one. None of those other coaches can say the same.

brasilrams wrote: ↑September 15th, 2025, 9:31 pm I’ve criticized Sean McVay plenty of times before, I’ve had my issues with him, but the truth is the guy only does one thing: win. That’s all he does. And you can’t criticize winning. Since he got here, the Rams have basically been a playoff team every single year. We’re talking eight seasons, five playoff appearances (and if we make it this year, that’s six out of eight), two Super Bowl trips, and one Lombardi Trophy. That’s an elite résumé, period.

And let’s not forget: in his very first year with Stafford, he already did what everybody dreams of — won a Super Bowl. That head coach–quarterback duo has delivered more in a short time than a lot of franchises manage in decades.

That’s why it’s ridiculous when someone keeps hammering away at McVay and Stafford nonstop. That’s not analysis, that’s an agenda. And that’s exactly what Truth does every single time: he just shows up to tear down a top-3 head coach and a Hall of Fame quarterback. That’s not constructive opinion, that’s pure bias.

Now, I get what Glendora said — having a stupid opinion isn’t against the rules. Fine. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s annoying and exhausting, because it drags down the quality of the forum. The simple fact is this: with McVay, the Rams went from being irrelevant to being a consistent powerhouse. You can nitpick about playcalling or certain decisions, sure, but you can’t argue with results.

So when someone tries to claim that McVay or Stafford aren’t good enough, it just shows they’re not looking at reality. Because the reality is that with McVay in charge, the Rams are always on the map, always competing, always winning.

you could argue each GM " likes " their guy and just would not trade for McVay. I don't think that is saying McVay isn't better than a lot of those teams

The Broncos look completely undisciplined.

I do like the Chargers and Bills coaches

I would like to see Shula take over the Rams head coaching spot at some point.

I'm not sure what the unemployed coaching pool looks like out there, but McVay has been making better coaching decisions the last two games and the offense is looking really good. But I don't think I'll ever be a McVay fan....

Oh.... did anyone see McVay limping after Sundays game???? I think he pulled something running up and down sidelines like a hyperactive 10 year old.... That I wish he would stop doing.

Yes I did see that. I said to myself what's up with Mcvay. Hopefully it was only his leg falling asleep from stand in on sidelines for hours.

Harbaugh is doing great things with the Chargers. No denying he is a great coach.
