can McVay out coach Shanny this week

[therealheadslap75]

we are putting a better team on the field we are certainly healthier, our quarterback is playing his best football

You are going to know very early if the Rams have established a better game plan:

1. Are they challenging the short passing game of the 49ers? This is essential if they do not do that it's going to be a difficult game. There are no 49er receivers other than Kittle who are scary. We need to force Mac Jones into his third and fourth reads and get our rushers in his face and collecting sacks

2. Does McVay get out of 11 personnel, no one knows how to defend his system better than Shanny and Saleh, shanny runs virtually the same system, we need to throw to the tight ends and we need to run a power run scheme

3. I believe we can be successful with the deep passing game as well

4. Havenstein needs to play like he played last week

[Rampager66]

YES.
From ESPN...
Sean is 4-1 vs Shanahan ATS (Against The Spread) the last 5 meetings, playoffs included with the only L being the game the Rams gave them earlier this year. Omit the 2 KW fumbles and the 2 ST blunders and the Rams win that game in Regulation Time too, by at least 2 scores.

[Cornell29]

It wasnt coaching that made KW fumble?

This game will come down to execution. If the rams executed against the niners earlier this year, rams win.

This^…….. But…….

He did make a bad play call on 4th n 1 first game………..

As soon as I saw thread I knew it had to come from a very select few…………

[cat-a-ram]

History says no.
The defense needs to play more man coverage to stop the sink and dunk offense of sf.

[bigklein]

Maybe the special teams change is already a coaching move that will shift the mindset from that crappy Thursday night loss.

really are you kidding me, has McVay ever coached a great game against a healthy 49ers team? Give me a break, his record against a healthy 49ers team is abysmal, he beat them early on a couple of games when Jimmy G was out, then we beat them when it meant something in the NFC Championship, but other than that when the teams were playing at full strength McVay usually loses

Last game the 49ers were very banged up. We still lost

He just doesn't coach against them very well and that's a fact

trust me nobody wants this less than me I hate the fucking Niners

But I am not going to sit through another game where they complete 4 million dinky dunk passes and not saying anything about it

If we can't beat their second quarterback, no Nick Bosa, no Fred Warner, no Aiyuk, that's a problem

i'm expecting a win, I'm expecting the Rams to play physical, and I am expecting Shala and Company to stop the short passing game because we know it's fucking coming

Oh would that be great if you didn’t watch the game……..

I’ll say it again the next positive thread you start will be your first………..

3,2,1,0 the first over reaction thread started by you Sunday will be when in the 1st quarter………

Fortunately for me I stay away from this forum for most if not all of the games. I wonder why………

I’m trying slap but you make it so damn hard……

[Jacksnow]

Uh, the 49ers run is over. Don't you feel the vibe? Rams win this game in a decisive fashion. The Rams are rising. Rams win by 10+!

[RonMac]

SF dink / dunk pass game is also time & ball control dominant thus keeping Ram O off the field. Shula has to dial up an aggressive D plan that deals with CMC and the short pass game.Would like to see a dominant effort by Verse & Young WITHOUT giving up the Edge - a very key factor vs SF.

Was it going for it or running it with KW that you didn't like?
Based on what was going on with the kick team, I was OK with going for it, didn't like the play chosen.
It's another one of those execution things, that if it worked, great, that becomes a bad call because it didn't.

[malibu]

I think the Rams seem to be in a better situation. Adams and Stafford seem to be on the same page. Puka is good to go, the ILBs are hurt Warner is out, starting 2 ILB are questionable, both starting DTs, 14 players on IR, ur top 1 and 3 OLBs are out. We are very healthy minus Tutu and Witherspoon. Our depth is outstanding.

Keys to winning, like I've said on multiple posts play 4 LBs 2 being dbs this would be 8 in the box stopping CMC and their dink and dunk short throws forcing them to try and throw over the top giving our DL to get to Purdy or Jones. Second keep spreading the ball around keep 13 personnel.

3..2..1... and here you are defending management no matter what happens and challenging my right to question that

the rams are good that's a fact, we all know this, do you need me to type that disclaimer with every freaking post???if that reality meant nobody could post anything otherwise or discuss the nuances this board would lose its meaning

we are here to debate and discuss this team

is it not a real salient point that the Rams have a difficult time with this 49er team???
do you see their record vs the cards and hawks??
it's not even a credible argument that the 49ers were our most talented opponent, they had a harder time beating other teams, are you saying our players, different players, didn't execute specifically against the 49ers for eight seasons???
mcvay vs. scoring dif. overall record
cards: 13-3. +171. 51-80-1
hawks. 10-6. +78. 77-55
niners. 6-12. ~58. 70-62


i would assert clearly there is an issue with how we play and plan vs the 49ers that is very worthy of discussion for most people

i believe strongly that McVay allowed himself to historically get out coached

if you disagree bring the receipts

if questioning management was forbidden the boss would change the name of this forum to the good news forum

i don't believe Rams management is beyond reproach and if you do I will vigorously defend your right to say that, don't diminish my rights to say what i want

debate the issue

The strategic decision (going for the first down) was correct, however that particular play call wasn't, which is my perspective on that game-costing failure...

Well, I rarely feel 'vibes' about any particular matchup for the Rams.

I do know history though, such as usually-reliable PK Frank Corral falling apart (missing four out of five FG attempts) during a 17-20 loss to the 49ers back in 1981.

Of course that shouldn't affect the outcome of tomorrow's game, yet sometimes I can't help focusing on it. Also, our team's 6-2 record looks fairly impressive, yet it includes only one victory over a top-notch team (Colts) and a loss to the semi-crippled 49ers a month ago.

Should the Good Guys end up at 8-2 in ten days, having posted divisional wins over the 49ers and Seahawks, then I'll be considerably more impressed...

RAM SEASON!!

[Cornell29]

Yes

[Cornell29]

Mcvay outcoached Shanahan

[therealheadslap75]

he did! in a big way on the offensive side of the ball, especially by changing out of 11 personnel and running three tight ends and not just running the ball out of that formation but throwing the ball out of that formation

I do wish we played better on defense not because we needed to to win this game but I wanna know we have a better defense as we are clearly a competitor for the Super Bowl!!

[Cornell29]

Good game

[Cornell29]

Back to back wins at SoFi North

[DelMar]

Good game

I’ve seen this photo many times, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it where they slipped in the Lombardi trophy in McVays hand… that’s just Glorious!

[sanbagger]

Good game

Ha...that looks like he is saying "Good try kid....you'll grow up one day"

[Cornell29]

Its crazy how one style of play counters another style of play. For example

Kyle Shanahan is 1-9 against Jim Schwartz (wide nine aggresive D inherited from Jeff Fisher).

If Shula does leave for a HC job I would love for the rams to hire Jim Schwartz just to own the niners. With that said, Jim doesnt play the dont get beat (Vic Fangio scheme) that Mcvay prefers, so I doubt Mcvay goes that route. He more likely hires from within and make Pleasant the DC.

[Cornell29]

Mcvay had Shanny DC (Saleh) in shambles with some of these plays.

Wide open

Awesome take in this vid. Won't be long now and every team in the league will be doing this. Everything's on tape.. We'll who's DC is the 1st one to come up with a scheme to check it!

[NorCal RF]

They said up here on flag ship today that the niners didn’t think the Rams would come out with 3 TE n use it as much as they did. Something I guess Saleh n Shanahan talked about. The “ lip readers” up here claim on the very first play to Ferguson Shanahan turned to Saleh n said “ I thought they were not coming out with the 3 Te formation”……

[UtahRam]

McVay is now 8-11 against Shanahan. He is closing the gap.

[Rampager66]

Did he ever this game. 9ers have no answers for the 12 and 13 personnel... yet!

[DelMar]

Did he ever this game. 9ers have no answers for the 12 and 13 personnel... yet!

I’m not sure any team does.

McVay has tapped into something the defense can’t seem to figure out…

What makes this so hard to defend is just how many targets are available. I mean when you have 9 different guys with receptions at games end, how do you stop that? What this does as it takes it toll on defenders minds. Watch the plays being posted, often times, defenders have no idea what’s
going on.

[RamPower]

McVay is now 8-11 against Shanahan. He is closing the gap.

McVay's win total should be doubled when you factor in the NFC Champ win leading to our Super Bowl victory
