This! That team was an arm tackling dumpster fire.

Why is it so hard to see that Matt Stafford is... well, Matt Stafford?

The Rams D was gassed by OT and they couldn't move the ball. Without throwing it. SF was playing like their lives depended on it and was just better in all phases down the stretch. Kudos to Jimmy G and his Boys.

I will never believe in an honest outcome where the Saints are concerned until A) They win another Super Bowl or B) Roger Goodell is no longer the NFL Commissioner. Goodell has it in for Sean Payton. That much we know for certain. What more needs to be known?

Sean McVay was 45-0 when leading at halftime 🤔.

They are a soft team. I hope they get throttled next weekend.

We've been bombarded for years with talk of the 'Boy Genius' and his 'leading at halftime, unbeaten' streak. They went all in with OBJ, Stafford, Miller trades. I would love to see them get humiliated in the first round.

(I'm still salty over that no call DPI. Does it show?)

I'm still thinking McVay didn't want to take his chances with the Saints D. He's probably right he's not as dumb as he looks.
Still can't figure out the revolving door of DC's for the Rams. Phillips, Staley, Morris now they are looking at Vic Fangio.

Go back and watch Drew Lock's second long TD run. There is a Chief that went out of his way(pulled up short, threw up both hands in a "pardon Me" style and actually leaned backwards) to not touch Lock at the 1 yd line. Scripted!!

Yes. They weren't done screwing us over yet.

I heard a guy at the bar remark that ever since McVay ran out on the field like a 14-year old girl to celebrate the TD with Higbee, the Rams didn't look the same.

I think the Rams performance was a fair accurate reflection of Sean McVays coaching ability, which reflects the results you would get if you gave any random unspectacular 30-something assistant with poor understanding of the game and poor leadership skills the reins to an nfl team. McVay lucked into a job with a roster including the #1 pick qb, the best defensive player in the league, half the salary cap cleared for a spending spree, a gm willing to trade every 1st round pick for 10 years to win now, and a commissioner willing to double refs pay to make the franchise a showcase for the key new nfl market. This propelled a talentless amateur coach to impressive win totals and stats, but the truth came out in the superbowl when the rams scored his age in decades. The Rams are a collection of clashing egos with no leadership and almost no youth playing in week 18. Collapse is imminent. If McVay want to start over as an assistant rb coach, about where he belongs, I would give him a chance.
