Seahawks defense is looking great. We hung with these guys. maybe we are not as doomed as we thought?
 
14-13 at halftime. Rams just went down the field in a little over a minute. Seattle's defense was way too deep in the endzone. Easy catch for the TE.
 
I think with Sean McVey we will see once again see the difference between a coach and a playcaller. McVey and most of these supposed "genius" offensive guys are not real coaches. They're playcallers. So long as somebody else coaches actual football, they look great drawing up plays that are then executed by well coached players.

What happens after these guys are in charge for a few years? The fundamentals erode. The focus is all on clever plays and silly things like blocking and tackling are a waste of valuable practice time.

We are seeing the Rams defense starting to collapse. We are seeing that strong Rams run game starting to collapse.

i think you're a little too full of your own opinion. settle down, mcvay is fine.
 
IMO Russell Wilson is the best QB in the league. Strong accurate arm, fast scrambler/hard to find let alone bring down, excellent decision maker, rarely makes mistakes. Brady, Brees, Rogers, you can have them. Mahomes may be the only one I'd take over Wilson.

Rams win that game if it wasn't for a missed gimme-not so gimme field goal.That team does not look like it is derailing now or any time soon.
 
goff needs to get Reynolds more involved he was solid in Cupp absence he locks to much on Cupp and the TE sucks

I'm talking about an erosion over time not a night day failure,. There have been plenty of these playcaller guys who take over teams, college and pro, that have a really strong defense and OL, so they wil immediately with e new scheme, but then in the next few years, those fundamentals start to weaken.

McVey is obviously a very smart offensive coach. So is Bruce Arians. So was Mike Martz. I just hate that these offensive coaches get so much credit almost from day 1 if their offense puts up a bunch of points.

Jeff Fisher was clueless on offensive scheme. Their offense was like a high school from 1980. He built most of what is really making the Rams good now, that run game and the defense. McVey just gave them a modern offensive scheme and he gets credit for creating the team from scratch.

There's more to coaching than having an offense that scores a bunch of points. It's frustrating to me that if a coach build a great defense and wins 9 games, he's a moron and gets fired. If a "genius" offensive coach wins 9 games but is top 5 in scoring, he's hailed as a visionary and gets a huge contract.

We'll see in the next few years if McVey is a football coach or just a playcaller.

He gets so much credit because he elevated the Rams from a perennial 7-9 team to a Super Bowl contender. I get your point about not assembling the pieces, but they'd still be an afterthought if Fisher was in charge.
