Series Thread: Week 6, BYE!

[Retroram52]

The evidence is pretty straightforward. This will be another 2022 Season when we went 5 and 12. This one might be worse. The Bye week could not have come at a better time. We will see some peeps returning like Kupp and maybe Darious Williams. Tre White is done as the new dude on the block, McCollough will be the starting corner going forward. Won't be a good year winning wise, but we will get a top 10 pick in the 2025 draft.

 

[Rambunctious]

I use to hate the bye week, but not anymore. I wish it was two weeks.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Is it possible to lose a bye week?

 

[Retroram52]

There are three major problems with this team going into the Bye Week.

One is the HC. McShitferBrains has lost his edge with his offense especially in the Redzone. This offense is feckless and vapid. McShitferBrains does not understand how to use his personnel correctly in the flow of the game to achieve maximum efficiency and in scoring in the RedZone. His once effective talent is injured and aging and it is time to bring in more fresh talent.

Secondly, Stafford is not the same QB he once was. His throws are hit and miss especially deep balls and he often throws into double coverage and sometimes his throws make little sense. He is at the end of his career and should be traded to a place like the Jaguars or any 1-4 team looking for a QB.

Thirdly. The defense is now a habitual sieve and its reconstruction by Snead and McVay is no longer applicable. The DC is a friend of McShitferBrains which is a bad scenario anyway you look at it. Shula is in over his head and he is only the DC because he is a longtime friend of McShitferBrains. That is a bad business decision.

Both Snead and McShitferBRains have lost their ability to find good-to-great talent in both the draft and FA to fill in the holes left by AD and EJ. Their personnel decisions no longer are pinpoint but hit-and-miss or as shotgun splatter. In short, they suck.

They are both living off past exploits whose magic is long gone and have now run its course. Their once adamant belief of finding cheap gems to develop is no longer a source of strength and they look outdated and antiquated in finding the talent this team needs. Their decision making on talent is often flawed and riddled with politics that was not part of their approach just 8 short years ago.

Thus, the Rams will stumble through the Second Half of their season and maybe McShitferBrains and Stafford will decide at some point to call it a career. Snead should go as well as their is no longer anyone in this organization that can effectively constructed a winning football franchise.

It is time to start fresh because the system of the ShitferBrains Twins has run its course!!

So basically you're saying the best we could come out of the bye week is 1-5, maybe 1-6? Because I'd have to agree!!!

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

The bye week Rams

 

[Battlelyon]

Great time for the bye.

Look, don't fool yourself into thinking we are out of this. This division is trash this year, everyone is still in it.

 

[Rambunctious]

McVay needs to get together with a top trainer and conditioner to find ways to minimize injury. Because his teams get devastated by injuries for some reason.

The "bubble-wrap the starters" preseason worked last year, but not this year. If it's just bad luck, it's REALLY bad luck.

Potentially getting Kupp back for the next game would be huge. Puts the receivers all back in their roles other than Whit in Puka's role for a while longer. Robinson back to the 3/4, Atwell back to his gadget plays, etc.

Hopefully they get the defensive backfield sorted out this week, and maybe work Speights into the game plan?

 

[Retroram52]

All the money the Rams spent on FAs this year has become a total embarrassment. Tre White is so bad McShitferBrains and ShulashitferBrains benched him and even though Darious Williams had been activated for the Packers game, he too sat on the bench. Both contracts were expensive and both were players who had an extensive or growing injury histories.

The result? The Rams have found two undrafted rookie CBs, one of whom had an interception against the Packers in McCollough and the other is Wallace. Both are doing way better than Williams and White.

Lesson? Stop spending money on known injured players thinking somehow they are going to solve the ills of the damn sieve defense especially in the Secondary. Save yourself some money and cut these over-paid injured players like Williams, White, and Jonah Jackson if you can without accruing dead money.

And get smarter at actually finding All-Pro FAs who are not injured like Justin Simmons and play Witherspoon sooner rather than later, if you are so intent on spending so much damn money to so-called "improve" your team.

The Tre White signing was a gamble for sure. I watch all the Bills games, and he hadn't been the same since his first injury even before the one last year. Darious is coming off of injury, seems like they played it safe with him. I would expect him to get ramped up during the bye. I don't know what they're waiting for with Witherspoon, unless those rookies are just outplaying everyone in practice?

 

[Retroram52]

On Witherspoon, I don't know either.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Wish we had ours.

Adams being dealt somewhere. Crosby hurt. And now Wilkins being placed on the IR for at least 4 games.

Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Wanted football back and we get this BS.

 

[DJ Fieri]

How y'all doing?

 

[Retroram52]

Ya got that right DJ. I was hoping for better things this year for the Raidas but apparently Pierce ain't the answer either.

He ain't the issue. We got no running game after letting Jacobs walk as a FA and need a QB.

Problem is, Pierce is starting the wrong QB.

O’Connell should be playing to see if he develops or not, so they know if they need to draft a QB or not.

Starting Minshew makes no sense. He’s great as a backup, but he’s never going to be the franchise QB.

Start O’Connell so the franchise can either move forward with him if he develops or they know they need to draft a QB if he doesn’t.

These coaches that start the veteran to “save their job” is what ultimately gets them fired anyway.

AOC is going to be starting this week vs the Steelers I think

He should’ve been starting from the beginning though.

Starting Minshew did not help your teams future situation at QB.

You can have Stafford for a number one pick!! Ultimately, Pierce is the problem because he has the final say on personnel and the running game just as McShitferBrains is responsible for the bullshit moves that got the Rams to 1 and 4.
