The Los Angeles Rams are in the playoffs for the third straight year and are fighting for the NFC’s top seed with two games to go. There are plenty of things to be grateful for this season, but in the true spirit of Festivus, it is time for the airing of grievances.
Serenity now! Serenity now!
I have (some) problems with this team, and now you’re gonna hear about it! Here are a few of the ways the Rams (and others) have disappointed me this year:
How bad have special teams been for the Rams this year? Bad enough for Sean McVay to finally pull the trigger and fire coordinator Chase Blackburn, marking his first in-season coaching change ever.
Blackburn’s unit helped spark the Seahawks’ insane comeback on Thursday night, highlighted by Rashid Shaheed’s 58-yard punt return.
Los Angeles also ranks 31st in the NFL with a 75% field goal percentage, according to CBS Sports.
It was only a matter of time before a change was made. Not to be a Grinch or anything, but why did it take so long, Sean? Think of how long it took for him to cut ties with Joshua Karty.
Karty had two blocked field goals which contributed to the heartbreaking Week 3 loss to the Eagles. Yet, it took until Week 10 for the Karty Party to mercifully come to an end.
Perhaps McVay is a masochist who enjoys poor special teams play until the suffering was ultimately too much.
Matthew Stafford’s blunders aside, how did the Rams ever lose to this team?
It’s a disgrace that the Panthers might end up in the playoffs and host a game as a division champ, despite having no business being there.
This is the same team that:
And now this trash ass team is currently in the NFC South driver’s seat. Yeah, the NFL doesn’t need to change its playoff seeding format whatsoever (INSERT EYE ROLL).
That line from “Anchorman” sums up exactly how Rams fans feel about Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald after TNF.
Not many coaches would’ve had the guts to go for two with not only the game on the line, but the NFC West and the conference’s top seed as well.
Respect.
Just don’t pull that crap again, Macdonald, or you’re never welcome in Hollywood again. No In-N-Out for you!
Puka Nacua sure had a busy week, and he might just be fast-tracking the Antonio Brown career arc.
Nacua first got himself into hot water for doing an antisemitic gesture on a livestream with Adin Ross, later apologizing for his actions.
During that livestream, he dropped this doozy...
