Don’t take Sean McVay for granted, and don’t be fooled when McVay talks more about how HE needs to do a better job as a coach than specifying where some of his players are likely to let him down, too.
McVay is the “we, not me” guy, but when it comes to taking the blame, most of the time it’s publicly placed on him, so don’t be fooled by last week’s game that not only involved some playmaking mistakes made by McVay, but a lot of execution mistakes made by the players.

If the Rams want to beat Seattle they’ll need great coaching, no doubt, but they’ll probably need even better execution.
Yes, I hope McVay calls a better game on Sunday, of course, but I also hope the team can be even stronger than last Sunday because the only way to continue progressing in the playoffs is to continue playing hard.
We know the Rams are capable, but they have to come out and make a statement.
Thanks for joining us this week, happy Friday, this could be the last Rams game we see for a while on Sunday, so try to enjoy this upcoming weekend and get ready for what could be an incredible championship Sunday.

“There were some cases where we were called for races and we ended up doing other things, some of which we wanted to do, some of which we didn’t,” he said. “Those are areas where I think at the end of the day I have to be better. I have to be able to have some clarity. I think, to your point, there were some instances where we weren’t able to do that at a high rate. I thought we had success from the beginning on that first drive. Then you start talking about the second drive when we had three plays where we went three and got out. We made a mistake that happened on third and four. Then on the third drive we ended up making another mistake on first and 10 after we got a first down after we ended up hitting ‘Ferg’ on third and 11. Then on the fourth series we again had a protection error.”
“Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is widely considered one of the brightest minds and best leaders in the game today, and the success his team has had since taking over in 2017 is a clear example of what he puts into his guys and game plans.

McVay’s efforts have led the Rams to a 92-57 regular season record, a 10-5 playoff record in seven playoff appearances, and a Super Bowl victory in 2021. However, what McVay has done for his team has also helped his players become better people.
“But for Los Angeles fans, the game was a true cardiac stress test. Despite taking an early lead, the team fell behind only once. But it was too often. Fans grew impatient, as the offense seemed to falter in a game where the defense showed up. As such, falling behind seemed to set the stage for another crisis.”
