Dude looked better after 30 hours with McVay, a dozen plays on a wristband, and practice squaders at OT and WR than he ever did here. That's a reality check.

The Rams' coaches apparently did a thing called watching film on him and designing plays to match what he does well. 

I guess the analytics said that was not a wise use of our coaches' time.

I do think tonight has to be an indictment on McAdoo which ultimately goes back to Matt Rhule. McAdoo better call the game of his life Sunday.

That being said, good for Baker. He made some incredible throws, especially on that last drive. He didn't make those throws here. And no one besides the Rams put in a waiver claim. None of the playoff teams, especially San Fran looked at his film this year (or last year) and thought he'd be an upgrade. 

I think tonight will still prove to be more anomaly than not, but it doesn't diminish how incredible it was, and it definitely puts him from being on the fringes of the league to absolutely being securely on a team next season and beyond.

This. McAdoo was the best OC Rhule could get to rudder his sinking ship. There's nothing he can do to save his job here. If he had a prayer, Baker drove the last nail in the coffin tonight.

Happy Baker got LA the win. A win for us. Get this coaching staff outta here, and move us further up the draft board. Just need to complete this week with a loss. Hopefully, Geno torches us.

I like Wilks as a man, but this doesn't look good for anyone on our coaching staff. At the least he looked like 2020 Baker off of 1 walk through on Wednesday throwing to the Rams 2nd string WR's. Imagine if he could have brought Rashard Higgins with him who for some reason can't see the field under McAdoo/Wilks/whoever makes those calls

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
