How do we beat the Rams?

Me after beating the Rams in the NFC Championship

I just hope that McVag doesn't bring Jeff Fisher back as a consultant.

One missed field goal from a 3-game sweep. The question is how do the RAMS beat the Hawks? The Champs are the team to beat now. They're not afraid of anyone. Not sure what else they need to do to prove that.

Yes. And a couple turnovers in the red zone in game 2 away from that actually being a double digit win. And a Reek Woolen dumb penalty followed by him getting beat for a TD, from winning that one by 10 points.

We were only 14 pick 6's away from beating them by over 100.

I live in LA, so I see that there is some panic among the Rams about their situation. There's a feeling that McVay has met his match. And there is a lot of concern about the lack of maturity among some of the players.

Jared Verse's comments about how the Rams' players were in shock when the Seahawks didn't fold and his attempts to blame his teammates are getting a lot of attention. I don't think they were covered much in the Seattle press or even the national media, but this is part of what Verse said:

“When we started having trouble, we didn’t know what to do,” Verse said. “Like some of us on the defense, some, you know, I’m going to take full blame, too. Like, there were a couple of times I’m like, but they’re running the other way. Like, I don’t know what to do. I can’t chase. Like I’m not that fast. I can’t chase him on the backside. What do I do? So when we had some troubles, we just kind of like mentally shut down.”

Verse also said that the Rams defense were "shitting the bed" when Shaheed caught the 51-yard pass early in the game. And this is from one of their best players on defense.

Jared Verse: When defense started having trouble against Seahawks, we didn't know what to do

The Rams had to watch a division rival celebrate a Super Bowl title last Sunday and the pain of that was made all the worse by how close the Rams came to being the NFC's representative in the game.

And of course, as much as we hate Puka, the Rams fans have been apoplectic about his behavior this season. Kind of like how we felt about some of DK's antics, but much worse. There have been articles like "Rams must embrace maturation process," and "Puka Nacua's immaturity could cost the Rams."

Rams must embrace maturation process

The Los Angeles Rams are entering one of the most pivotal offseasons of the Sean McVay era—not because of a schematic overhaul or a quarterback controversy, but because of something far less tangible and far more important: maturity. For nearly a decade, the Rams’ identity has been anchored by...

Puka Nacua's Immaturity Could Cost The Rams — It’s Time To Grow Up - LAFB Network

Puka Nacua’s first three NFL seasons with the Los Angeles Rams have been nothing short of spectacular. A fifth-round pick in 2023, he’s racked up 4,191

So don't worry, be happy.

Nice post

I swear the maturity comes from the coaching on down. Mcvay does not look too composed when he’s screaming like a toddler into his play sheet

The Rams are a very good team, and for the last little while the team has found them tough to beat, until this last season. The year the team should have beaten the Rams 3 times save for Sam's mistakes with the ball in their first game against each other. Since then Sam has been steady the Hawks D tougher than the Rams, and the fortunes have changed The monkey is now off their backs, the Rams are beatable but always a tough out.

In the end that's a good thing as still sharpens steel. The Hawks have now proven they can beat the Rams when the championship is on the line. Of course the Rams won't make easy and neither will the 49ers. I now believe the team can beat the Rams and simply now knows how to and believes they can win. I'm not afraid of the Rams though I respect them.

I’m more concerned with a healthy niners team than the rams

Give them something to cry about and they will totally go off the rails

The Rams are mentally unstable. Jared Verse said once a little bit of momentum starts to swing to Seattle’s way, they started to lose hope and began panicking.

Seattle is mentally strong.

They're like that

 

[hawkfan68]

Seahawks have already beaten the Rams. They have gotten in their heads. It's been a month since the Seahawks beat the Rams and the Rams are still griping about it. I hope it continues to haunt them.

 

[Seahwkgal]

smack talk Puca.. he'll start to get real dumb

The DK effect. Brilliant!

 

[JPatera76]

how do we beat them? Get in mcvays head.. and shit starts to crumble. No different when Harbs was with SF.

 

[hawkfan68]

Puka Nacua is another example of having money doesn't equate to being intelligent.

 

[irfuben32]

OK, we can beat the Rams

I guess I should say. How do we spank the Rams? They seemed to have the antidote for our defense which means we can't blow them out by getting pressures, sacks and turnovers. Once the Hawks offense stopped turning the ball over we were able to start winning though.

I guess the real question then is... How do we get turnovers against the Rams. Do we do more of the rush three and drop 8 into coverage?

 

[glenwo2]

I know we beat them twice this year but the Rams are an incredible team and they give us all kinds of problems. They have a high first round pick and they could completely come back next year and beat us. They have the offensive line and playcalling to neutralize our passrush.

How do we beat them Rams?

We acquire Sam Darnold.

I’m more concerned with a healthy niners team than the rams

Them 9er Dawgs are starting to get old, and if you can stop McCaffrey you can stop the 9ers.

I now think MM has their number and they will need to up their game to truly be a feared threat.

At present to me the Rams are a better team than the 9ers but now we know both of them are able to be beaten.
