    Four minutes left.  41-10.  Rams allowed five sacks, and about 500 yards of Ariz-Offense at this point.

    Um.   I was not expecting this.  Thats my reaction so far.

    I will have a second reaction at some point.

    My reaction? Rams were not quite as dominant as I like to see.

    I’m surprised that the Rams continued to play Stafford in the 4th.

    Arizona was way overdue to beat the Rams in Phoenix.

    3rd straight “road game” next week at SoFi vs 49ers… .. SF will be wearing their home reds next week in LA.

    Donnie Erin. The uh…safety I think.

    Yeah Murray didn’t play this game scared. He kept making plays while evading the rush. The rush kept getting close then whiffing.

    Didn’t see the game, just the final score. Did the Rams avoid new injuries?

    Kupp may be banged up. Looks that way.

    That would be a shame. I was really hopeful, going into this season . . .

    15 games to turn things around, etc.

    injuries suck. i don’t know much about football but seeing mcclendon get abused on the left side was painful to watch.

     

    i was naive to think the defense would be ok without donald. and i think the defense misses ernest jones too.

    Especially since he was clearly dinged up, and was getting hit a lot.

    I don’t know that we can conclude anything. While I would not have expected this much of a lopsided outcome, it happens. We’ve seen OL Musical Chairs before. And Puka is out, and Kupp got dinged up.

    Clearly, McClendon was not ready to play LOT. Limmer is a rookie. Promising, maybe, but.

    And I’m not so sure we saw on defense. Even with Donald, Connor has been a nuisance to the Rams. To me the difference today was Murray. He played the way today that I always thought he was supposed to play, but never did. He just put it all together. The Rams put pressure on him again and again, and he just moved away, and kept his cool.

    I still wanna see a slo-mo of Harrison’s first TD, though. I just don’t think so. Not that it mattered, but still.

    This year like last year, it looks like they will struggle before the bye, but then get it together (preumably) after the bye. By then injuries will return, the OL ought to be intact, they will (presumably) be able to run the ball. On top of it, the Rams typically do some serious self-scouting and scheme adjusting and/or “fix things” like technique during the bye, which could help the defense.

    I think a less mobile QB might have been in trouble yesterday. I’ll be interested to see the “pressures” from yesterday, and see how it compares to avg pressure across the league. If Murray had Stafford’s agility, that game would have been completely different, imo.

    I think Stafford has some injury issues there’s no zip on his throws he’s not driving the ball so could be an ankle or toe  something is hindering him planting his feet

    yeah. so many times he was able to get out of pressure with his feet and either scramble or buy some extra time for a pass.
