Rams need to find their own Phillips Rivers…he won the chess match between himself and Gregg Williams…Rivers has his highest qbr when blitzed 121.9
very tough road game…to me looked like a playoff game between 2 good teams…good teams make plays against each other..real slugfest and fun to watch…IF the rams play as well as they did yesterday they will win their next 4 games
still some things to fix
Rams 12 missed tackles SD 3….3rd worst of the season 18 vs Minn 13 vs KC..miss tackles/lose the game..they go hand in hand
no team plays for tie on the road…running on 1st down to take some time off the clock then passing was the right call…
Robinson had a brutal game…-6 now ranked 70-79 ot’s. His allowing the strip by Luiget was a killer…
Jenkins int was cool but the hustle play he made to strip Allen of the ball running 15+ yards after being beaten was very very cool…
people need to realize Hill is a solid qb with a long resume…he will play to his career numbers 43-26 td/int ratio with solid sack rate/int rate..overhyping him when he does well or going all ape shit when he plays bad is pointless and stupid…
Hill has started 26 games in his career with 1910 snaps…basically 2 full years as a starter…his career passer rating is 85.8..last weeks passer rating was 102.7….anyone ever study stats? Odds are very good he will move to his career stats the longer he plays
Watched him enough at camp to know Davis never should of been starting BUT also know Hill isn’t the most accurate qb in the world either…those slightly misthrown balls were expected…
fun watching a qb throwing deep outs…and actually throwing passes to his wr’s again
Future? Hill and the team will be fine

Here’s what I posted last week:
I realized earlier this week that I was drunk on Bronco Spiked Kool-Aid so I actually watched some Charger games to see what we can expect.
I don’t like this matchup at all. They have the kind of offense that can negate our pass rush. They are very good at the screen game. Their running game when they use Oliver looks like ours did last year with Stacy. Floyd and Allen are no joke and Rivers is an F’in warrior! Gates still uses his body like Karl Malone did getting entry passes from Stockton. I believe they will be patient and not expose Rivers to much abuse.
They also run a high risk/reward defense and will load up to negate our running game. They frequently use overload blitzes and are smart about how they take away the hot routes on the other side. Other than Weddle, they don’t have any dominant defenders but the sum of their parts is pretty darned solid. They are well coached and don’t have glaring weaknesses.
I’m not saying the Rams won’t win this game but we will need the following to happen:
1) Jenkins needs to keep Allen and Floyd in front of him.
2) Donald needs to blow up their interior line on a regular basis.
3) Alert, play action over and over and over.
4) More mistake free football from Hill.
5) Mason must have at least 80 yards and Cunningham 3 catches.
6) Keep the penalties down. .
Back to today: Hill didn’t play mistake free ball and penalties cost us again. The rest of it happened which is encouraging.
