Thursday Night Football Thread - Rams @ 49ers; It's Pretty Exciting

I don't think I've seen the Rams punt yet ... It's the 4th quarter 

9ers suck. Their defense is terrible. They can't stop the run, completely abandon the check down when they are playing zone ... 

Rams have a great Oline. Goff has all day to throw. They have a dline too. If you have solid line play on both sides, that's an easy 10-6 season if you have coaches that know what they are doing

Yep, Kalil > Whitworth was definitely a big mistake. I'm sure Matt being Ryan's brother did play some role, but I think the main thing was the age difference. Gettleman was thinking he could get Cam's blindside protector for the next 5 years with Matt Kalil where as Whitworth would clearly just be a 1-2 year stopgap. He was probably just wanting a younger guy to gel with the other young pieces along the OL then start looking for Ryan's eventual successor this coming offseason. 

Right now, it's looking like we'll be taking that out in his contract after next season, so instead of getting a rock solid stopgap we got a dodgy stopgap.

Oh well. We gambled and right now it's looking like we probably lost. Went for the dicier but hopefully long-term solution over the sure thing short-term solution.

Not so sure about that. This coaching staff has the Rams' offense humming along nicely, but this D is pretty awful. Don't forget, we held these Niners to a FG and we would've likely shut them out had a penalty not caused Shanahan to rethink going for it on 4th down again and settling for that FG attempt.
