Pathetic performance overall besides Gibbs. We need all the Ws we can have so I won't complain but...we're not beating GB playing like this. Need massive improvement.

Hopefully Kerby, Arnold, Davenport are ready Thursday. This was probably worse defensive game they played all year

I feel like Kerby could have had a couple INTs today with how Jameis was floating passes out there.
Davenport

Monty needs to be a short yardage/goal line back. They cant take Gibbs off the field anymore
Goff still playing like shyt. Amon Ra drops are concerning. Does Teslaa just not get open at all? He gets no targets at all. Campbell playcalling looks the same as Mortons. Morton just never got chance to light up a poor Commanders defense. Problem is just the oline

Beating GB is a must. I'm doubtful 3 teams from the NFC North make the playoffs.

TeSlaa is at the bottom of pass progression, he's not getting the ball until there's an actual effort to get him receptions. Goff doesn't have any time to get to him in progressions. The thing that kills me is that we aren't doing many dig routes, which used to be bread/butter for Josh Reynolds/Tim Patrick/LaPorta. That would be perfect for TeSlaa.
Jahmyr Gibbs the best RB in the league. I put him over SaQuon right now.

I don’t think it’s crazy to raise this but…we may be veering towards a future where the Rams win another Super Bowl before we win another playoff game
And they've basically turned over the entire roster since their Super Bowl team; one first round pick since 2017.
I don't wanna hear any excuses for Holmes this offseason if he goes with his usual conservative and "building for forever" approach.

Rams have played a pretty soft schedule so far. Lost to Eagles/49ers and beat some suspect teams good records Jags/Colts/Bucs teams. Darnold gave the game away last week with all those picks. We’ll see in 3 wks vs Lions. People were saying Philly was going to walk to another superbowl appearance after last week and then lose to Cowboys. So any given sunday. Most wide open it's ever been. No clue who is really good right now. Feel like Philly and lions have most talented rosters in NFL if relatively healthy but teams like Rams are better coached

I think the entire plan got blown up. They can’t roll out Ratledge at center next year unless they’re 100% certain he’s the next coming of god (which is possible given his center metrics/RAS). Fixing the interior is make or break now. Do you chase after Tyler Lindernaum? That’s probably the most “win now” move.
We’re also veering to a point where I don’t think re-signing LaPorta and Branch are guarantees. Laporta had back surgery last week. Who knows what the severity of that is. And Branch is great, my favorite Lion but I don’t know how to approach that either.
Campbell and Gibbs might end up being the best extensions since they have 5th year options. You can re-sign them and keep the cap hits low for a few years.
No way I'd give LaPorta a big contract. I'll be shocked if he doesn't have a very short prime. Plays extremely physical and is constantly banged up. Now, with back surgery, forget it.
