Game Thread: Week 4, Los Angeles Rams @ San Francisco Forty-Niners, Monday Night Football, Levi's Stadium, Monday, 10/03/2022, 5:15 PM, PST

As Jalen Ramsey put it in the locker room in Phoenix, the Rams have to get better as they are still committing mistakes at the wrong time. Their Redzone offense is still not punching in the football down at the goal line committing costly mistakes. The defense is still giving-up huge yardage but they are keeping people out of the endzone. All of this while going through the injury bug early in the season. The Niners got beat by the Broncos by one point in Denver so they will be hungry and Rams need to not let the Niners get back to starting another winning streak against the Rams they had last year until we beat them in LA in the Championship game. Should be an interesting game on a number of levels.

We are damn lucky to be 2-1. Half torn about this one because on paper we should have no problem putting up enough points based off of previous games. but then again this is a division game and 49ers have had our number lately.

atleast we aren't the raiders

This could be one of those payback wins where the Rams really put it to the 9ers. Matt Stafford's pass to Kupp Sunday 3rd and 11 as he escapes a defender whips around and fires a bullet to Kupp for a first down. We have a great QB. The 9ers don't.

He hasn’t looked great at all this season however.

And the run game has been terrible, and the 9er defense is great at shutting down the run.

Going to be a tough game. Could go either way, especially with the banged up OL and secondary.

After a rough start and general sloppiness team-wide, I see a team that is beginning to mold its own, new identity. That identity has a host of young new talent interwoven with proven All-Pro level Vets that, if they so decide, can be devastating to the rest of the league including people like the Niners, Buffalo, the Iggles, and the Fish.

This game against the Niners may be that game that features that growing team chemistry that, as Ramsey put it in his post-game speech: "The sky is the limit and we can do anything we want, if we determine to get better and keep progressing"!

Niners have regressed into a penalty & turnover prone team now on both sides of the ball. They can't even get out of their own way.
Gonna bean an ugly one for the home crowd at Levi's next week.
LA Rams by a lot... probably by at least 17.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea we shall see how this one plays-out.

Man, don’t I wish for a game like that

 

[Rambunctious]

I think the Rams have looked good the last two games. I'm excited about their chances to repeat as NFC west champs and Monday is their first shot at the 9ers. Could they be better? of course every team could be better Look at the Bills. They lose in Miami
Lets wait and see what folks say on Tuesday
I'm surprised at how good some young players filled in and that tells me the Rams are well coached.
Well coached teams win.

What I see in this article is McVay perhaps giving too much credit to the Niners in Levi Stadium. That is O.K. But he mentions the sequence of how the Rams lose games in this article. Not showing-up, not preparing well, and thinking they can't beat the Niners in Levi Stadium.

How about you get your team ready with some different things on all three levels of the game? How about getting your team prepared with some heavy duty energy and aggressiveness that says we ain't taking any more shit from the Niners in Levi Stadium and how about actually getting your team prepared to play ALL 60 minutes without taking series off or going home early??

McVay knows the #Rams’ recent road record against the #49ers and is looking forward to the challenge of facing them in primetime.

Look at the Bills. They lose in Miami

Bills can only blame themselves for that loss. A dropped pick 6, another potential TD went unreviewed, a blown FG opportunity at the half on a muffed snap that turned an intended spike into a short pass that ran out the clock, and the time running out on a final potential FG attempt. Add in the players dropping left and right to heat illness and starting the game without their entire starting secondary and both starting DTs and the Bills still only lost by 2. Miami didn't look anything special in that game, played some bend but don't break defense and only two sizable offensive plays by Tua/Waddle (both on the deciding TD drive).

Division games get funny like that, which is the worry with the Niners, regardless of how they played vs the Broncos.

And also needs to learn to make halftime adjustments when things aren’t working instead of continuing to do what doesn’t work.

Plus the visiting team has to sit in the sun. I hear its brutal. They still lost making my point that no team is perfect.

Looks as though Edwards goes on the concussion protocol and Kendricks is coming off of it. Kendricks will start.

No replacement has been named for Edwards. We could see Evans or Aboushi and maybe a reshuffling of the O-line altogether. The for-sure Starters on the O-line will be Noteboom at L-OT, Havenstein at R-OT, and Shelton at Center. The two Guard positions may change.

Rams injury report: David Edwards ruled out, 2 CBs out vs. 49ers

The Rams are expected to be banged up on the offensive line and in the secondary in Week 4 vs. the 49ers.

Looks like Evans will be the sub for Edwards at Left Guard.

 

[Rambunctious]

Retro has been calling for this formation a very long time. And its working to add a different look to the Rams offense.

 

[Retroram52]

Travis Rodgers in the above vid makes yet another corroboration for the trading of Atwell who has been a total bust. Many other pundits have stated the exact same argument. The Rams should trade his ass for a 2nd-5th rounder. Get what they can for this useless turd 3.0. Skowronek on the other hand, was a 7th rounder who has many skills and talents that is now being used in a different looking Rams offense.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Looks like the Rams D again decided not to show up for the game.

Several 3rd down conversions allowed, and I wide open running lane for Wilson to get a 39 yard TD.

Pathetic!

 

[Retroram52]

End of the First Quarter and it looks like the Rams still think the Niners are better than themselves.

 

[Retroram52]

Nice stop by the D with a little help from Garropola.
