Right away, Los Angeles Rams fans got to evaluate whether Head Coach Sean McVay’s decision to sit his starters for the entire preseason was a brilliant decision in light of the long season ahead or a mistake.
It was clearly a mistake.
The Rams were rusty, and it wasn’t until the second half did Rams fans see the team which they believed should have shown up in the first half.
The Rams offense sputtered and squandered opportunities, and the defense was no better.
Among the TST staff and readership, debate was heated, coupled with fits of anger and frustration over the fact the Rams should have played their starters in the preseason as the team appeared lifeless.
