"An exciting yet excruciating playoff loss to the Seahawks doesn't diminish the Rams' accomplishments this season. Their ability in coming back to win so many games that appeared lost showcased their resilience time after time, week after week. Thanks for the memories. When are the Rams and coach Sean McVay going to stop ignoring special teams? Open the checkbook and hire the best special teams coach available. They also need to draft a shutdown corner or two. You don't need another receiver."
"So Bill Plaschke wants to put the blame on the Rams' loss in the NFC title game solely on Sean McVay? The defense's atrocious cornerbacks don't deserve most of the blame? And Plaschke's blood-boiling need to make the grand statement way before anything is certain doesn't prove the Plaschke Curse is alive and well? He not only jinxed them once but twice."
An exciting playoff loss to the Seahawks does not erase the Rams' season-long accomplishments, highlighted by repeated comeback victories and consistent resilience. The team needs significant improvement on special teams and should invest in top coaching and talent at that unit, and should prioritize drafting shutdown cornerbacks rather than additional receivers. The organization then hired Raymond "Bubba" Ventrone as special teams coordinator. Media criticism targeted coach Sean McVay for decisions in the NFC title game, and premature predictions of a Super Bowl run were linked by some to a perceived jinx after subsequent losses. The NFL's postseason games often feature late, tightly contested finishes.
