Wow! that video of Gurley against the Cowboys a couple years ago is jarring.
He has lost more than a step. The 2017 Gurley would have torched the Seahawks last night. What a shame.
The Rams margin of error on offense has shrunk so much. Like WV, I also don’t trust this OL. Edwards looks quite shaky at guard & Blythe and Corbett aren’t good players.
The Rams can win, but they better be ready for a tough game.
I’m looking forward to some good December football!
The Cowboys are talented but gutless.
The Rams will have this game in hand by the middle of the second quarter.
======================
It would be a nice season if the Rams could somehow knock the Cowboys and the Vikings out of the playoffs. That would be a fine year.
Do you think there’s such a thing as a ‘superbowl hangover’? Did it hit the Patriots too?

vYes, I think there’s something to the Super Bowl hangover, however I think it can be hard to know how much to attribute to it vs other ‘normal’ things that happen between seasons such as coaching staff changes, player turnover, veteran players getting another year older, etc. When you look at the Rams the season following SB 36 some of the struggles could have been due to the hangover. Losing the SB while being heavy favorites probably magnified all the psychological issues that go along with that. However, the O-line began to deteriorate, Warner had a bad thumb, etc.
I’m not sure how much of a roll SB Hangover played this year either. This season they had massive turnover in the o-line, reduced roll of TG-III, etc.
So even though to me it makes sense that SB hangover exists, I think it’s hard to quantify. I also sorta think it’s not something that would effect a team for the entire season.
