3 games in? Hell no. Give this guy some better talent at OLB/pass rusher and at CB and he may have something.

This game revealed some encouraging things.

• The offense got into some rhythm for the first time in the regular season.
• Multiple weapons were involved.
• The team fought to come back despite being down by at least two touchdowns, pick six, and several injuries .

A trait of young players is inconsistency. Now they know what it feels like to win battles, As they battle consistently for a full game, they will know what it feels like to win the war.

Yes, to expect victories this year is a bit presumptuous given the number of new players, rookies and change in schemes. I enjoyed the game...which is all I want this year. When they get a FQB I will hope for better results. The Rams have a head start in personnel, particularly with a young QB who looks like a possible FQB. I even liked the defense, which was missing Foster (there new spark plug), Reid (the brain) and others dinged up. So what's not to like? So much negativity from the usual corners of the webzone universe! LOL!

Not the game I was referring to. I'm talking the childish game of if "x" happened we would of won. Don't blame a few plays/ calls that works in reverse too.

Surely the Rams' boards are filled with people calling for Wade Phillips' head after giving up 39 to the 49ers!?!?

I'd argue so many excuses from the same guys who have done this for 4 failed staffs now since I been here. Notably absent is the coach who took care of business right away even if I admit he had more talent. So what corner is correct?

I did not like Nolan or Singletary so...try again. I liked Harbaugh but saw him as self destructive...so...try again. I don't paint myself into corners! LOL! I support the team, hope for the best and call it as I see it.

The Rams were willing to spend draft capital on a FQB, the 49ers have not. I hope that changes. This team is lacking offensive talent outside of Hyde and Garcon, get a young QB and let him develop as the offense gets build around him.

After reading all of this thread several things appear obvious:
1- we lost the game due to many issues.
2 - we scored 39 points - testifying that we can score and score in bunches.
3 - our defense allowed 41 points and had little to no pass-rush.
4 - again we can see the lack of talent all over the team and yet they played their hearts out.
5 - the referees played a role in who won and who did not win.
6 - all three games have been close games - hard to get more out of a limited team than what we have seen.
7 - lots of room for improvement in all parts of the game.
8 - we need more talent and more depth at virtually every position.
9 - coaching is trying to squeeze talent, consistency, health, and effort out of a limited team.
10 - I, for one, am pleased at the level of competition the team is putting out and I want to see it week after week.

I remember when dtg_9er used to dress up as Nolan or Singletary on Halloween to scare the children. Good memories.

We lost at home to an average St Louis team. Some of you guys need to raise your bar. The perfect 2 wins to 6 wins to playoffs to championship trap is what you fell for with Nolan. It wasn't until 2 coaches and a GM later where things turned around.

Shanny has to create an environment now. There's no throw away years even if we do only end up winning 4 games.

THANK YOU. Everyone acts as if it's a certainty that we stink this year, get a little better, next year, then playoffs in year 3. It's not an exact science and nothing is promised. You have no idea how draft picks, free agents, etc. are going to work out.

NFL is labeled "not for long" for a reason; even if Jed is giving them a long leash, it doesn't mean this team is destined for success. Shanahan is a first time head coach for christ sake and John Lynch has never held a front office position. We don't even know if these guys are the guys to lead a rebuild yet.

People see what they wanna see and right now everyone is scouring for signs of "progress".

No one was calling it progress when chip kelly hung with Seattle at the tail end of last year, did they?

We basically gave the Rams everything they had.. I think we really need to start offering teams players we see not developing... players who other teams believe that can help them..

Staley
Ward
Reid
Armstead
Bowman
Tank

Ward can go or move to corner. Tarrt and Reid are a scary combo. And both are making plays. They are both still young, why not let them create something special back there. Its obvious when they are not on the field, the nergy and tackling goes down hill

Nope... and that is the point. All the Mindless Neanderthals calling this last game progress were somehow enlightened enough to recognize when a close loss wasn't progress. If there is one thing I can't stand in Mindless Neanderthals it is inconsistency! Stupid Mindless Neanderthals putting thought into things. You should be ashamed! SMH

edit: It might be hard to tell but this was heavy sarcasm and "Mindless Neanderthal" is meant to refer to those who saw last game as progress... and it is the Mindless Neanderthals who should be ashamed. (End of attempt to non-sarcastically explain the sarcasm )

My expectation is that the young players that we are looking at right now take the next step and start producing on the field. Forget about the wins. Our rebuild might be set back 4-5 years because of how bad some of these young guys are.

And to be honest, I don't even really care how Hoyer performed even though he had a nice game. Hoyer is not the future at all, so why bother? Everyone in the fanbase knows this. Even if we won this game, I'll admit. I'd be less upset, but share the same concerns. We don't look good on defense at all, and will probably get carved up by Palmer next week if he can just sit back in the pocket and not care about the putrid pass rush.

Okay drama queen. Most of the young players are rookies or second year players still figuring out their way in the league, learning to play with each other.

You can stay patient and accept that there will be a lot of growing pains or completely freak out and believe that every player is a lost cause after a handful of games.

I dont know what hes smoking either... We have a solid nucleus of young guys. Tarrt, and reid are a combo that will be feared, Solomon thomas and Foster will be great.
I wasnt a fan of thomas at first, hell need to put on a few more pounds.
Foster will be Foster.
Eli harold is a solid core guy, and can play his position. Our young receivers and kittle are gonna be good.
Robinson is a solid 2.
Lynch is a rusher we can add a guy to support.
I think we are more than ok at rb unless hyde gets injured again, but we have promising rookies, Breida, Williams, Mcnichols.
Trent Brown, Garnett, and Tomlison could be mainstays. Brown is elite, minus an error here and there.
Buck and armstead are still getting used to new techniques... They were both brought in to play 3-4.

In my eyes we need one more pass rusher, 1 #1 corner, a center, and a left tackle to learn from JOE. I hope garcon and staley stay for 2 more years.

We do need a qb of the future, the other stuff we can fill through the draft... PLus all the dough we stashed. I have a feeling Kyle and John are going to spend again in the offseason. They HAVE TO

At some point during this rebuild (currently in its 3rd year), you'd hope the goal would be for the team to actually win games rather than just position themselves for a higher draft pick.

It's Year 1 of the rebuild. Baalke never approached the last two seasons as rebuilds. Sucks as fans, but this is the actual Year 1. 2014-15 were simply wasted years, not rebuild years.
