The Rams still have one nasty bad habit. They really come out of big wins feeling themselves a little too much. And then get smacked in the mouth. If you look at our losses in 2020 you’ll see at least 3 “wtf” let downs too, including that whipping we got from Green Bay after dominating the Seahawks.
Feels like this team thinks they’re better than the work they put in week to week. Superbowl teams don’t do that. Guess we’ll see.
It was a complete team failure. However, as has been the case since week one it’s the defense that has me the most concerned. Missed passes and INTs are something that Stafford can correct, Michel’s fumble was a tipping point, but I don’t see that as a regular problem for him. The defense, OTOH, had looked vulnerable since the Bears game. I expect good teams to take advantage of the Rams D just like the Cardinals did. Frankly, I’m still surprised that the Rams held Tampa to less than 30 points. I think David Long and the young safeties were exposed all game by Arizona. Also, I don’t know how much that he has left in the tank at this point in his career, but I miss Michael Brokers. I fully expect Seattle use multiple explosive plays to score 30 plus on Thursday night. Hopefully the Rams offense can avoid the turnovers. This isn’t the kind of defense that takes a team on a deep playoff run.
