Why? I mean we are barely getting by with used duct tape and bubble gum holding the defense together. The offense and special teams are doing good but you're crazy if you expect us to blow anyone out. It's going to be nailbiters from here on out.

I love this team and think the coaches are doing a phenomenal job at getting us to 10-4 but at the same time i'm realistic and don't see us outscoring every team we face from here on out.

Just enjoy the ride and don't put any unrealistic expectations on this team. Unless you want to be miserable jackleg like some posters in here.

Yup. This season is house money. Win Monday to get in the dance and let's see how far the ride can go.

This x100000.

We gotta ride this till the wheels fall off and hopefully they dont collapse until we're hoisting a SB.

Seattle won the coin toss in OT and elected to kick which worked out well for them. Same thing Kyle has been ripped for over and over when he did this in the SB

Vastly different scenarios, specifically in the fact that the Rams offense was a hell of a lot better than the Chiefs in the SB and the fact that the game can actually end in a tie.

The wheels fell off when they lost Bosa, Warner and then Williams for the season. They've been running on the spares since then. Hopefully they don't suffer a blowout since spares don't hold up forever.

Your Rams lost to the Panthers and Seahawks lmao

Hahaha

bro would be having a hissy fit if Kyle did what McVay did last night. Total meltdown trigger fest

The issue is that Kyle HAS done it…..multiple times….in more important games. So there's that to consider…

He blew a 16-point lead in a SB?

Wait hang on…

He blew multiple 16-point leads in the 4th quarter of SB's?

Pretty sure he has not.

No. Just 10. With a half quarter left in the game.

A 10 point lead with 9 minutes left in the 4th vs a 16 point lead with 9 minutes left...wonder which one is harder to protect.

We just need to take care of business now and get that #1 seed.
What a season this would turn out to be if that were to happen .

The quest for #6 Is within reach.

They did irt for the same reason though. They wanted to know what they would need to win. Fans love to rip decisions by coaches when they don't work out. If the Niners had won that game then fans would be calling it a brilliant decision. You know they would.

McVay went out and aggressively pursued that HOF quarterback. Kyle traded 3 first round picks for a bust. Also stuck with JimmyG for an extended period of time when he could've done better. Passed over guys like a Mahomes for Kirk Cousins. We can downplay McVay's success all we want, but the reality is McVay has done a much better job putting a team together than Kyle has. McVay lost a SB, learned from his mistakes, then went onto win another one and possibly has his team poised to win another. Kyle lost a SB, then lost another to the same team.

I don't care much for Pederson or Arians. But Sirriani did win one with a lesser non HOF QB. And yes I know everyone will point toward the GM for their success but coach gets credit for that monster game plan against KC that put them out of their misery before you could blink. Same coach that lost to that same team 2 years prior, but learned from their mistakes and adjusted. We didn't.

Aggressively lol? It was well known Stafford and his wife wanted to go to LA. Also the lions new GM was part of LA's FO staff for years. s**t was handed to him. There's plenty of reporting to back all that s**t up, including Kyle trying to get Matt all the same.

Bravo for McVay, he's coaching a team in an area of the USA that players want to be lol.

McVay scored the least amount of points in a SB ever lol. Being given Stafford isn't learning from mistakes, it was handed to him. Acting like Kyle doesn't want a Matt Stafford is ignorant as s**t….bringing up Mahomes after the fact is also lame. No one was proclaiming him a generational QB in that draft, he should have went #1 overall if we're reevaluating all of it. Damn near any team could have gotten Mahomes based on where KC moved up in the draft to get him.

What the hell did Nick do to "learn" from his mistakes? Nothing was different in terms of how they were/are running their offense. Hurts still can't run a legit passing offense and his claim to fame is inventing one of the dumbest plays in NFL history.

IMO Kyle has done more with less than McVay over their tenures. I think both are great HCs, but trying to deflect a f**king epic meltdown because he won a SB years ago is so hypocritical.

Not winning a SB > Winning a SB



I guess it's time to redefine reality.

Yeah so Doug Peterson and Bruce Arians better apparently lol. One game doesn't define how good a player or coach is. Dan Marino and Jim Kelly are better than Nick Foles, Brad Jonhson, and Trent Dilfer.

and yes done more with less…he's rolling into SBs with s**tty ass Jimmy G and 7th rd pick Brock Purdy. meanwhile McVay needed a HOF QB to score more than 3 pts in a SB

your debate lack nuance and always has. We're even using your own s**t in regards to the MASSIVE EPIC MELTDOWN from your HC…McVay!

30-14 with 8 mins left and s**ts the bed vs Sam freaking Darnold Gonna cost them a 1 seed and a very important bye.

I agree it was a massive meltdown. No argument there (except McVay is not my HC )

Can McVay say he went to the Super Bowl with a 2nd round pick who is now LA's back up and a 7th round pick as a QB? And when Shanahan got them both, they didn't have anywhere near the experience that Jared Goff or Matt Stafford had.

End of the day weird s**t happens in football games…Things that are out of the control of a HC.

Kyle and McVay are great HCs and 90% of the league (and their fan bases) would love to have them as their HC.
