Win this week against the Giants then go into Centurylink Stadium and destroy the Seahawks on the eve of yet another Superbowl run.

That would sorta kinda salvage something of the season.

Sorta.

Packers. Only team in the NFC that could keep Billichek from another title other than the Seahawks, and there’s no way I want the Seahawks in the Superbowl, so “go Pack go!”

It’s pretty evident from some of the post game quotes that Arians does not like Fisher.

These comments should make this divisional rivalry even more interesting going forward.

Everybody wanted to talk all that stuff about how great their defense is. I think they saw a good defense tonight, it was in red and white,” Arians said before talking about his 143 rushing yards. “We blocked them. I think they had been reading their press clippings way too much.”

Why is Arians so hostile? Makes me root against them going forward.

Arians was fuming all game long. Maybe this is carry over from that. Plus he lost yet another QB. Perhaps he’s pissed because he knows he’s one n’ done in the playoffs. I mean, they were gonna be in trouble with Stanton at QB let alone the third stringer.

<span class=”d4pbbc-font-color” style=”color: blue”>I read/heard something where he said they lost out on the playoffs last year cause the Rams beat them on a FG. His comment/s reminded me of something Fisher might say. </span>

Lol and now he’s lost two QBs against the Rams thus greatly reducing any chance he had in the playoffs.
He must HATE the Rams by now.

I don’t think the Rams were outcoached, although the Cardinals do have an excellent coaching staff. I think this loss was simply a matter of execution. The offense couldn’t execute mainly because the o-line couldn’t get it done. Wells and Joseph are simply horrible. Robinson is learning on the job and making mistakes. Sims said it himself, “doesn’t matter what play you’ve called if the o-line doesn’t block”. That was the story of that game. The Rams o-line was overmatched by Cards front 7.

Biggest concern about tonight’s game?

How well can the Rams o-line hold up against a really good front seven? They’ll have to play much better than they did in Washington last week where they gave up 4 sacks and didn’t open up a lot of holes for the running game.

I don’t think some of the gimmicky plays that the Rams use like that jet sweep they run with Tavon will work against a disciplined defense like the Cardinals. To create running lanes they’ll have to do it the old fashioned way. Put a hat on a hat and move them out of the hole in coachspeak.

On the other hand I don’t think the Cards (or anybody except maybe the Seahawks) can afford to stack the LOS against the Rams anymore. With the emergence of Brit and Bailey the passing game is something defenses have to contend with.

The Rams o-line is the only worry I have right now. There’s really no other weaknesses on this team. Perhaps there are some areas that could be improved but I wouldn’t consider any of those areas a weakness….ummm except maybe place kicking. The jury’s out on that.

Cool pic. Isn’t that Hadl in the background? I thought he was gone before Cappy was drafted.

Vegas has the Rams as 3 to 3.5 point favorites as of this writing. When was the last time they were favored over a winning team?

I think the Cards are in for a world of hurt.

That’s fine. As long as you acknowledge that there are a myriad of opinions on this subject that are equally as valid as the ‘non-issue’ viewpoint. Some of us find the term Redskin to be self evidently offensive due to its historical connotation. Yeah there are native Americans who don’t really care about the word but there are also native Americans and others who are offended by it and their opinions have to count for something too, right?

The question remains, is this too political a subject to be on the football forum?

As you know, this community has gone back and forth on that.

Well, even though it’s imcredibly controverial it is a football topic. So in that sense it should be fair game here. But I also know what has happened on past boards when things got political so…
I dunno. I’ll be fine with it if you move it to the public forum.

I like it when the players the Rams draft and develop are worth keeping.

I dunno. Bringing back Hekker
is bound to cause a QB-controversy.

Hekker + Bradford + Hill + Davis = an embarrassment of riches.

I don’t know but I don’t see how it’s any of your business.

It seems like you see more and more great one-handed catches now than in years past. I bet it has to do with the gloves – better gripping technology.

Mike Fanning sacks Stabler which ends any realistic hope the Raiders had to win and he just nonchalantly walks back to the huddle?

Strange era these 70’s…
