It won’t matter with the terrible LB and secondary.

The offense may be slightly better, but the defense will continue to be terrible with Rozebum and can’t Reader manning the middle and that awful secondary.

They just got beat by a rebuilding Chicago team.

If they don’t end up with a top 10 pick, I will be shocked.

Rams had no business losing this game, it was a McVay clusterfuck.

The offense wouldn't be slightly better with Puka and Kupp back, it would be much better. Kupp and Puka would open up so much for other players.

Vikings and Chiefs are 4 and 0. Even RaheemShitferBrains' Falcons are 2 and 2. Not the Rams. One and three and soon to be 1-4.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Raheem is shitferbrains too?

I agree....

The Rams are missing 2 very key components to their offense.

His defense, while he was the Rams' DC, was often a BBDB and lost many games the Rams should not have lost because of it!! Dude, and you didn't know this?? Are you beginning to slip in your older age, lol??

Injuries are apart of the game but we can't keep using that as an excuse when the game is still winnable. The problem is the rams are 31st in run defense a problem which was created when the FO traded the best LB they have for nothing. The absolute worst decision this FO has made, at this point Les Sneed created a problem that didn't exist and along with all the personnel decisions alone over the last couple of seasons.

This FO should be on the hot seat honestly, Trading Jones, drafting Tutu in the 2nd round and not using him, drafting a RB in the 3rd and not playing him? The FA DB signings alone and spending cheap on the defensive side of the ball when that was knowingly going to be a weakness. These personnel moves alone are malpractice. Common sense says you don't draft these players at these spots and sit these guys when you need instant starters and impact players. Rounds 1-3 should be guys ready to contribute now, 4-6 are guys that are depth with potential to help out in spot duty. Make it make sense that the 2 worst ILB are on the same team and mcdipshit trusts them. You can expect every RB to have a bounce back game against the Rams because they aren't stopping a nose bleed.

Side note, Chula needs to be fired.

This was a snatch defeat from the jaws of victory game. I only was able to watch a little bit of the second half but listened to a lot of the first half. Seems like the defense was doing good but couldn't get out of their own way and prolonged Chicago's drives in the first half. And the second half just couldn't seem to do much right at all. This seems like a team that really needs that bye week asap to get healthy.

That Stafford fumble leading directly to that TD was painful, as the Bears weren't doing much in the 1st half. Too many FGs, not enough TDs otherwise. They just don't have a go-to receiver currently in the red zone, someone needs to step up (or they need Kupp back ASAP).

 

[Retroram52]

Yes Indeed. Right now, Fiske is the better of the two players between he and Verse.

Rams rookie Braden Fiske had a big day against the Bears

Braden Fiske had himself a day against Chicago. One of the few bright spots, here’s how he impacted the game.

Yep, pretty close to the truth.

Verse just can't finish his pressures thus far.

 

[Retroram52]

This is one is also pretty good assessment.

Yep. Every time Verse gets a breakthrough past his blocker, he stumbles and can't keep his feet especially when the QB takes off scrambling, Verse is already falling down.

It'll get adjusted with more experience. He is still getting use to the speed of the game. They play at a lot higher speed in the NFL.

 

[Rambunctious]

I still think Verse and Fiske were great draft picks. By the middle of the season they will get even better.
