Bullheaded McVay doesn’t understand that you don’t throw passes one after another near the goal line!!!!

[Slegnaac]

Gino Smith almost pulled it out for Seattle.

Big game by Kupp, Woods, Henderson and Michel

I agree?

[Angel Oracle]

The running game does help, when used.

Stafford putting up sick numbers so far after 5 games: 

1,587 yards, 12/3 TDs/INTs, only 4 sacks 

Kupp already has 37 catches for 523 yards.

Henderson is averaging 5 yards/carry (58 carries/290 yards).

first, i'm glad i know you.

second, i would not want to watch a football with you. no offense.

they started off rough but dominated in the second half last night. division wins on the road are necessary if you want to play in january and february. 

all in all, a solid game against the seattle sharpie hi-liters last night.

Just trust Henderson and Michel more, and things will be good.

Just have to keep the defense from being on the field for too long.   The depth isn’t quite there from losing Hill, Johnson, and Brockers to FA.   It seems to tire a little too easily.

Same here on the first

No offense taken on the second

AO if you have kids when they were little and brought home finger paintings did you tell them how terrible they were and they'd never be artists?  Just wondering. 

Stafford seemed off last night but I would attribute that to popping his finger out of the socket while it could have been much worse ala Russel Wilson.  10 days to rest up and get used to playing with the wrap on if needed while the Rams schedule has them playing the Giants, Lions and Texans over the next 3 weeks.  Nice three game stretch to get the running game established and have the offense firing on all cylinders.

No worries there, always encouraged my daughter.

Stafford did have a great second half, as the offense seemed like they could score on any possession.   Total departure from the first half.

I agree that the league better look out for this offense once both Henderson and Michel are rolling.   They won’t be broken from too many carries like Gurley was by Super Bowl LIII.

OL is looking good.   Whitworth is a magician in leading this line to allowing just four sacks so far.  Of course, Stafford helps by knowing when to release the ball, unlike Goff the past two seasons.

[Angel Oracle]

Rams are either 2nd or 3rd in the power rankings, with Arizona or Buffalo at the top.

 

[Tank]

Solid win over the giants today, one of those games a good team should win handily.

[Slegnaac]

Johnny Heckler had a nice 4th down completion. 

[Angel Oracle]

Lackluster 1st quarter and then 38 straight points 

16/4 TDs/INTs for Stafford, still only 6 sacks in 6 games 

What a difference a change in QBs brings.

[Angel Oracle]

WAKE UP RAMS!!!!!

You want to play, Lions?   With your onside kick and fake punt?

And who the F allowed the scrub to take a short pass 65 yards for a TD!!!!

[Slegnaac]

Lions came to play.

10 points on the board before the Rams even get the ball.

[Angel Oracle]

What is it about Rams making winless teams’ seasons?

Defense SUCKS against a no longer good QB.

Do something about this defense, Raheem Morris!!!

Goff is having a good game. Donald and the defense can't seem to touch him. 

[Blarg]

Donald finally got to Goff and forced a weak pass for the end zone interception. Truly the turning point of the game was defensive. 

[Angel Oracle]

Raheem Morris’ defense philosophy must be bend don’t break.

Only 2 TDs from scrimmage per game are allowed, along with NFL third best opposing passer rating (helped by only 7 TDs and 10 INTs).

Matt Gay only has 1 FG miss and 1 XPT miss so far and routinely puts kickoffs into the end zone.  He’s turning out to be a solid replacement for Greg the Leg.

Stafford is third in NFL passing yards, has 19/4 TDs/INTs and only 7 sacks.

[Slegnaac]

As long as they don't go 1970s era Prevent Defense.

[tdawg87]

The Rams only play 3 quarters.

[Blarg]

You do realize it was 2nd stringers that played the 4th quarter?

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Von Miller to the rams

 

I still don't know why Denver picked up his option or didn't trade him before the season.  That's not a knock on him it's just that they weren't going anywhere this year and his cap hit was $22M.

[Blarg]

I'm surprised the Ram have any draft picks left to trade.
