My take on today’s loss

[Jacksnow]

For me, I have kinda been expecting a blowout. This team lacks talent in many areas. Our secondary was exposed big time today and a loss like this was overdue. Our LB’ers are overmatched.

As we all have seen, Kendrick is flat out terrible. It is my understanding that Morris chooses who is in the lineup, if that is correct, then that is reason enough to find another DC. We never create turnovers with his scheme and choice of players.

Stafford is clearly declining. With today’s injury, it’s clear going into 2024, out first pick has got to be a QB. In addition, we need to invest in a solid backup veteran QB.

The offensive line has improved over 2023, in a very major way. Still, I would be happy if they sign a vet or two with some of the 2024 cap space.

Our new found kicker seems to have a powerful leg, good to see him handle kickoffs.

This team has some very nice young players. Need to build on that via the draft next year and spend on some vets.

My order of signing vets in 2024
CB, LB, edge, backup QB, OL

For the draft in 2024, first pick QB, second pick DL… then
Speedy RB, LB, OL, Edge…

On to Green Bay which I think the Rams will win.

Your last line you said the Rams will win in GB. But do you still think w Stafford out?

I sure don’t. Not w our back up QB’s.

[Henry VIII]

We need QB..LT..DE..Center..LB in the Draft or Free Agency..and of course a new freaking CB!

[Rams fan since 1973]

If Rypien plays next week, there’s no way we will beat GB or any NFL team for that matter. A competent back up quarterback is something we have yet to see in the McSnead era. See Sean Mannion, lol.

[brasilrams]

Need a new qb. New center. New LT, new TE

Defense needs way too many PIECES.

St coach is garbage too. DC. I would be happy with a new DC and new HC.

[Utah Rams Fan]

What we expected this season, all eyes on 2024

[bigklein]

Good timing for the Rams to play Green Bay, maybe the the only team with a worse offensive rhythm than the Rams these days, and then a bye to take a break from the torture. Jordan Love has been terrible, so it’s a great chance for the Rams front 7 to dominate and for Morris/McVay to not start Kendrick.

If the Packers’ offense looks strong against the Rams, this season is officially over.

Regardless of who plays qb, just avoid turnovers. Maybe the newer kicker will hit five field goals. This is a game that the Rams’ defense should win.

[Rams fan since 1973]

Cousins may have torn his Achilles? Maybe we can interest them in Stafford if his thumb isn’t busted too badly?

[bigklein]

The Rams peaked in week one.

BG great point. I remember the giddy days after the Seahawks game. Now we are saying wait tell next year.

I don't think we have any choice but to go QB, and I think that may be the reason McV is back. Chance to go forward with HIS guy, from the start. We have Cap space which I think we should use on LT and C if there are any stud available. If not use the 2nd rounder on the best C/LT available to us. 2nd round should be good for one of those.

I'm torn at EDGE. I would like to see what Mathis/Van Valkenberg/Hampton can do and i think it's time to admit this season is hot and start playing these guys so they can be evaluated in action.
If none of them step up, then I want EDGE in FA. Though if a top CB is available, might need to rethink.

We have holes everywhere and outside of OL/QB, I would be tempted to use every damn pick on D. If we could get LT/C/EDGE for $45mil, that would still leave us with enough to grab at least 1 solid CB and have enough for picks and money left over for trade deadline use.

Also, in case we need to try and wring ONE more year out of him, SIT Stafford now, rest of the season. Gives him 10 months to fix nagging issues and rest. Doesn't touch a foot ball for at least 6 months.

Means we have to try and find something to go with or replace Rypien. Hell bring back Dresser and let him play/audition. I mean saying you think we can win at GB is one thing, but with Rypien at QB? no faith in him, or Dresser for that matter, but who can we realistically pick up at this point. Try and bring Bridgewater out of retirement? Trey Lance from the 'Boys?

I'd sure give that a shot

Not sure why they would not start Kendrick, Morris seems to like him
Also, exactly what PART of the front 7 would dominate? We can't set the EDGE, we can't stop the run, our DB's can't cover and out side of Jones, our LB's can't tackle. Just the stuff domination is made of. Not to mention, with our luck, it will be 10 degrees at game time and our dudes can't play in the heat, don't need to see them in the cold.

Also, WTH plays QB. You got that much confidence in Rypien?? Speaking of which, Do we HAVE a third QB???

[armyram]

People have short memories. We knew this time was coming and it's upon us. We sold the farm for the SB win and now we are paying for it. I have no regrets, the SB win was great but beating SF prior was my SB. Saying that... McVay is a curse of his own success, maybe now that we are losing games, he can have some consistency with his coaching staff. Every game I hear the announcer talk about a product of McVay coaching for another team. Then we have a young team, especially in the backfield but really dont have much depth anywhere. Our QB and RB situation is a mess, OL is playing better but still hit and miss, TE' are just ...there, DB's and LB's are suspect in a big way, ST's just sucks. We made a deal with the devil and we're answering for it. IMO, we will be .500 this year. Nothing great there especially for draft picks but it's the game experience that will get us where we need to be next year. Be patient, we arent going anywhere this year and let's see how we finish up.

You mentioned 45mil for an edge guy. Keep in mind, 45mil or whatever it would be would be spread out over at least 3-4 years. With us having 70mil or so in cap room in 2024, we could grab several blue chip free agents.

Easy for a team to get in rhythm when you are throwing against Kendrick.

[bigklein]

Maybe it’s time to time to open the wallet and get Colt McCoy. Maybe Stetson Bennett emerges rehab or the sanatorium or Burning Man or wherever he’s been. My point, Golden, is that it’s a good time for the Rams to play a team even lamer than they are, even on the frozen tundra. Green Bay is flat. The Rams are a mess but have a little spark. Today was a low point but not the season’s norm for the defense. It could be a chance to enter the bye on some kind of positive note, and I think that the defense, sans Kendrick, can take care of Green Bay’s flatness.

We are not beating ANY ONE with rypien. If they want to have a shot next week they need to sign. Colt mcoy or Carlson wentz.

Sorry, was unclear. I meant $45 mil for those positions combined a YEAR, not one position guy. 16/14/15 kinda thing. Maybe could only grab 2 rather than 3. I want to make sure there would be money for trade deadline acquisitions and depth components. I don't want a bare cupboard and mostly I DON'T want that ridiculous cap hit on Stafford for as it can be pushed, which I figure is MAYBE 1 more year if we sit his ass the rest of the season

Ummmm, are you unaware of the direction in which our team is currently going?

It collapsed in the fourth quarter at home vs. the mediocre Steelers, then 'folded like a cheap suit' in being humiliated by the Cowboys today.

Exactly when was the last time that the Rams performed halfway decently at Green Bay, anyway, even when they fielded a healthy, NFL starting-caliber QB...??

RAM SEASON!!

[bigklein]

I know that the Rams have major issues on multiple levels and that Rypien stinks. My point has been that they are fortunate to be playing what I see as a potentially stinkier team. I think that with just a few scores they can win against Green Bay, even at Lambeau, because I think that the defense can do enough to keep Love and the offense flat, provided Kendrick doesn’t start.

After that it will great to have a week off to heal and assess.
