Me to. in iowa. they had no doubleheader on fox.grr.. i never thought that anything could rival the defenses we had in 2011 2012. i never thought i would see a pass rush equal to that of the 76 gold rush. i get its only five games. but i also remember saying ok. its only two games and they keep on keeping on. i have little issues overall with the offense but it is nice to know this defense will keep us in most if not any games. credit to the guys. to the coaches. sure the skins are scary and i never use the word trap. its can be a scary team but its hard to believe the defense will have a let down offenses are always up and down but your defense is and can be the constant factor. it has also been stated. the niner crowd turned out for the game and that pleases me very much

get gamepass cc, so you can watch the game after it airs

I was being serious. They are not Super Bowl contenders with this roster they have imo. They need to rebuild their OL and their defensive backfield if they want to contend with the rising 49ers. Goff needs to continue his development where if he doesn't have a great running game, can he be a playmaking QB that his salary suggests he is. I'm not saying they are a sub-500 team, but they are not big time playoff contenders like they were in 2017/18.

They were dumb enough to let two of their three best OL go and it's over for them. Good!

ok, Thl, we're on the same page for the rams. They made a couple serious mistakes in talent. I know they were probably overdrawn on their checking account, and couldn't afford them, but....

Letting those two OLs, (OG and C) go was horrocious mistake.

Letting Suh go, even tho he was a one yr rental....that removed the most awesome duo in DLines, of the current era. Sure Suh problably got zillions of $$ and no way the rams could afford it. But maybe , just maybe, they should have let some other player go to keep Donald and Suh together .We already beat Suh in Tampa and now Donald in LA. Both out of town games. Wow.

Those three players...the rams just killed themselves by letting them walk. Their OL got a tiny taste of our OLs the last number of yrs, once those two guys boogied. And once Suh left , Donald is all pro. But he is nowhere near half as good as Suh + Donald.

Also as it turns out, even if the two OLs woulld have stayed on, they would have fared no better than the ram OL yesterday.

So yes, rams are done , SB run has run. Now they can sit back and watch how the 9ers do it.

And Mcvay has been nice enough to say he learned everything from Kyle. But no question, Mcvay cannot carry kyle's Jock strap. Nor will he ever. He's a good OC/HC, but just isn't in the same league as kyle.

IMO their problem was sacrificing the future. It is understandable. They needed to win LA fans quickly. They were competing with the Chargers. There can only be one winner in the LA market. The loser is stuck. Think about the other franchise, NY Giants dominated over the Jets. The LA Lakers dominated the Clippers. Even when the Lakers sucks, the fans aren't going to flip to the Clippers quickly. That would take decades.

The LA Rams traded for star players and gave away draft picks. They didn't draft in the first round in their last 3 drafts. They gambled and take a shot the win the Super Bowl last season and failed. Their window have already close. Had they won the Super Bowl last season their sacrifice for the future "might" be worth it. Many of their players are on their last year of their contract. Their situation is only going to get worse.

Now that's a sad panel.

Good. Let the media stay biased and blind.

I was seeing this a lot with the talking heads today, then they would turn around and say how awesome the Seahawks were for beating such a tough Browns team yesterday.

In the game right up to the end. The Niners dominated but mistakes, bad play calling and poor clock management negated that somewhat. It was nice to see them dominate though.

The Rams were in that game until we scored.

Apologies to the NFL for saying they should have flexed the 49ers/Rams game to SNF. Millions of people shouldn't be forced to witness Goff & his 1.1 QB Rating.

Or the Rams averaging 2.3 yards per play after the first drive.

Or the Rams having -12 yards in the 3rd quarter.

It's because they all picked the rams to win and they are in damage control.

Shout out to McVay for running it up the gut twice from the 1 yard line right into the teeth of the 49ers DL with a suspect interior OL, after one of the starting guards left the game injured (Noteboom).
And then trying the same play again later in the game on a 4th and 1. Arrogance.

When he doesn't have a better game plan than Kyle Shanahan, arrogance is all he has left.
