There is a disconnect with coaching and management

I know it is easy to blame players and much of it is justified but I think much of the blame lies with management and coaching this season.It started with the draft,we had an obvious need at WR so management should either draft one or get one or pick up a free agent but we did neither.We traded a 2nd round pick for a project at WR and he is not even on the active roster.Hurney must be on a longer rope than many of us believe or we would have drafted a producer.In doing so he threw Fox under the bus it appears to me.Regardless of what many say JR owes the fans that purchase the tickets an attempt for a winning season.

Fox and his puppet OC owe the fans and the players play calling that is greater than that of High School Ball.Ok he wants to dominate by running the ball....I get it.. but play action on 3rd and 8....running the same play on 1st and 2nd down every time on every posession I dont get.It is like he wants to be fired before the season is over.

I couldn't agree with you more my friend. Our problems start at the top, not the bottom. I have been saying this poo for years, including Delhomme's play-off self destruction. I do not blame that entire game on him. I blame Fox for not doing then what he did yesterday while we still had a chance not to mention A RUNNING GAME!

you can't do poo on the field with 1 receiver.. it's that simple. you're running game is affected and you're only WR is shut down.. luckily they blitzed and Smitty does what Smitty does best, beat his man... still, he had 2 receptions..

bad oline play or not.. defenses can pin their ears back and make your OLine look average.. it's all a chess match and when you have the opponent somewhat figured out, you can play faster.. much faster..

we have no answers, because we didn't prepare in the right fashion.. we haven't done that for 5 years or more..

The move marks the first in-season coaching change that Rams head coach Sean McVay has made in his nine seasons in Los Angeles. Rams assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica will take over and become the lead special teams coach, a source told Schefter. The Rams, 11-4 and second place in the NFC West, lost to the Seahawks on Thursday night in a game that included a Seattle punt return for a touchdown and a missed 48-yard field goal by Los Angeles kicker Harrison Mevis. The Seahawks (12-3) overtook the Rams for first place in the division and the top overall record in the NFC thanks to the 38-37 overtime victory. Though the Rams have lost only four games this season, three have involved special teams miscues. In the Rams' first loss of the season, 33-26 to the Eagles, Los Angeles had its final two offensive possessions end with blocked kicks. In the Rams' Week 10 victory over the Saints, kicker Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal attempt. After the game, McVay said the Rams' special teams issues "can't continue like this." Los Angeles replaced long-snapper Alex Ward with Jake McQuaide and Karty with Mevis, who had not missed a kick until Thursday night in Seattle. Blackburn, 42, was in his third season as the Rams' special teams coordinator. A former linebacker for the Giants and Panthers, he also has worked as an assistant with Carolina and Tennessee.
    • It was a bad play from Icky but the OL didn't give up a sack until late in the 4th quarter and Bryce just stood there like he was canatonic. If our 3rd year number one overall pick can't overcome one single sack against a rebuilding Saints team that should only have 2 wins this season then it isn't ever going to happen   This is your quote. I mean I’ve quoted it twice. It was followed by calling people that defended him fugers and several other meltdowns I can also quote.    Shame you for working for a living??? Wow this is a whole new level to your victim mentality thing you like to do. You don’t have to watch games live. Or don’t spend an entire thread arguing about something you didn’t get the full picture of. I miss parts of games all the time. That’s just life. Not even going into the whole losing all respect thing.
    • Rams ended up firing ST coach and former Panthers coach Chase Blackburn after the loss. Sounds all too familiar.
