1. That was a disgraceful performance.

2. Let's start with the defense. You know exactly what the 49ers are going to do, and you let them. And, in case anyone forgot, this was a 3-5 49ers team - not some world beating juggernaut.

3. Tackling - bad.

4. Coverage on Kittle and Samuel - hideous.

5. Effort level - pathetic.

6. How about the offense? Key drops resulting in a pick 6 and two second half 3 and outs. Plus, a couple by Jefferson. WTF?

7. Stafford was unsteady in the pocket despite only moderate pressure, and off target on many throws.

8. Coaches get a failing grade. Poor game plan on defense and no adjustments. Stupid calls before the half (poorly designed screen pass on second down, idiotic fake FG) prevented Rams from ending first half with some momentum.

9. The running game was fine... but irrelevant.

10. Same could be said about our defensive stars. Donald made plays. Miller did too. Ramsey had some nice break-ups... but irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

11. Do the last two weeks create a blueprint? Yes and no...

12. Yes... for teams that can play tough and physical and have the discipline to march down the field methodically.

13. No... not every opponent is built to play that way... thankfully.

14. Normally, I'd hate having a bye after a loss, but this team desperately needs a week off to regroup.

15. Hopefully, we can use the time to stop welcoming new players on Twitter and refocus on fundamentals.

16. Hopefully, we can use the time to fully integrate two very talented players who can help down the stretch.

17. Hopefully, we can use the time to practice countermeasures for the types of strategies that have killed us in the past two games.

18. Hopefully, McVay will remember how successful his offense can be with a true commitment to the run.

19. The Rams are still in great shape for making the playoffs and only a game back in the division standings (though, with tiebreaker issues, they will probably need to gain two games on Arizona).

20. Me... I'm going to take a few days, maybe a week, to cool off. This has been a tough two weeks. But I'm just a fan... I can't do anything but wait two weeks and hope to see a better effort at Green Bay. Its up to the Rams to regroup and hit the stretch run with a vengeance. The talent is there, but talent is not enough. The Rams need to control the narrative and force teams to play their game. Otherwise... "all in" will go from triumphant rallying cry to punch line.

Nothing matters if you can’t come close to matching their intensity. They were talking on the broadcast about how the 49ers were gearing up for Rams week. Doesn’t it seem like it’s just not that big of a deal to the Rams? Other than DeMarco Farr?

[snackdaddy]

The Rams are a finesse team. And they're soft. If they can't toughen up and stop letting teams challenge their manhood, our expectations might have to be revised.

[Hacksaw]

I sort of hope they came in flat. That way there is room for improvement and a reason we got broiled. I don't think they did though.

Green Bay is going to destroy this soft-ass team. Bank it.

I'm hoping it was a case of being caught off guard. But that is two in a row in the same manner. How can be caught off guard twice? They were manhandled. Bullied. Pushed around. Its possible that is this team's identity. A soft team who cannot handle physical play. We have a lot of stars but good individual players don't always make a good team.

What’s been made clear is the Rams are in big trouble when they get down early in the game against a physical team.

They just lack composure and toughness in those situations and it starts with McVay.

Does anyone think JimmyG is better than Stafford? Stafford isn’t the problem.

Heck, Stafford showed more ability to come back in games when he was in Detroit.

Maybe the problem lies with McVay, he tightens up when he gets behind, and it hurts the team.

Indeed. GB’s D is playing outta their minds. And frankly Rogers vs Stafford? Send that movie. And it doesn’t end well. Ever.

This team is about headlines, not O and Dlines. One and done; IF they get that far.

We’ve beaten ONE decent team. ONE.

[HellRam]

McVay offenses tend to get worse as the season progresses. It's becoming a trend. In the past we would have blamed Goff for scoring 7 points in a game like this. Now what?

I would also like to see more of McVay's traditional offense implemented more. Zone run, jet sweep, play action. Mixed with what Stafford likes with the drop backs and shotgun.

[Hacksaw]

All those plays would be tough sledding with niners and titans in our backfield and controlling the LOS.
