Rams vs. 49ers Takeaways: International nightmare as L.A. gets blown out in Melbourne

Uh, Sean McVay got outcoached by Raheem Morris again.

Last time, Raheem Morris was with the Atlanta Falcons.

He, for some reason, has figured out how to coach against Sean McVay's offense.

And then Chris Shula on the other side had no answers for Kyle Shanahan's quick passing game and It's something that we saw in the first matchup between the 49ers and the Rams last season when they had a backup quarterback in Mac Jones.

And this continues to be a problem with Chris Shula and the fact that his work His nickel and dime defense just got destroyed or shredded, I guess, in this matchup against the 49ers running backs as they allow 6.5 yards per carry in this game.

I mean, just an ugly, ugly performance by the Rams, who we haven't seen this from.

It's been a while since they got them blown out.

The last time they got blown out, the last time they lost by more than seven points, was back on November 24, 2024, and that was against the Eagles when they just lit up the Rams.

And, I mean, I don't know how you win games when you go two for nine on third down.

I mean, a total of, what, 250 yards offensively? There's just a lot of issues.

And then I guess the nail in the coffin in terms of the bad performance in this game was the fact that Puka Nakua had more tackles in this game than Myles Garrett.

I mean, Myles Garrett got shut out in this game.

He had zero QB hits, zero sacks, and zero tackles.

So, I mean, just really, really bad performance from the Rams, something we haven't seen in a while.

Sean McVay is now 3-1 in international games, and, you know, it's been it's been it was it was a hard watch i'm you know i'm glad we have some people on here already which i'm i'm glad to see but um yeah like there there is there is a lot to get into uh let me get into one of the comments here already from all good things says ari plus and is sorely missed uh nate uh chill housing chris shula the right people for the job and Look, in terms of Nate Shieldhouse, he's not the one calling the plays.

That's on Sean Marve.

I think for me, Chris Shula does bear a lot of the issues here.

And so, yeah, that to me was...

The fact that you haven't made the adjustments from last year in terms of what you were going to see from Kyle Shanahan, mind you, the fact that they were all healthy in this game for the 49ers, I thought was going to be a huge problem for them.

And as we said, we knew this game, the 49ers were going to be ready to go here.

Kyle Shanahan does a great job of game planning against the the the Rams so I wasn't I wasn't um I I really was I I was in uh shocked by what I saw it's just the fact that there was no adjustments made in the second half that was a bit troubling too like for a guy that in Chris Shula who's going to be a head coaching commodity after this season it it doesn't bode well when you can't even make adjustments in the second half we'll see like i said it's still early it's only game one so we'll see what happens but yeah it was it was it was not good to see all the way around and to to say that the the special teams was the best part of this game i thought that That was kind of shocking to see.

And then also seeing Stetson Bennett get his first snap of his career in doing so in a mop-up duty while the Rams are getting blown out.

I thought that was just like I didn't have that on my bingo card for this season.
