Finally, some smart analysis from a media outlet. Now, that was worth reading. But let's apply this to the Saints and Packers.
The Saints were just exposed by the Eagles. It wouldn't be fair to focus on an outlier game so I won't. But what I will do is look at how the Rams actually match up. With Ramsey, their only credible receiving threat, Michael Thomas, the Rams can limit him well. They have the kind of DLine that can limit Kamara before he gets loose. However, their defense is what should scare us. McVay has to protect the OLine from getting burned by penetration. The nightmares of the Niners and Dolphins could happen again. This will be a true chess match. We can only hope the plan continues to grow so the run game doesn't get shut down or abandoned.
The Packers are an opposite problem. Their defense doesn't scare me but the Rams penchant for inconsistency on offense could really cost us here. We've devolved to a long drive team that has to put several plays together in a row without penalties or mistakes to score touchdowns. The Packers offense is a problem. While Ramsey can limit Adams, their passing game is more multiple and Rodgers won't miss deep as frequently as others who have bailed us out this year. We've been very fortunate so far but the Pack are no joke and their running game reminds me of the Niners when they have a healthy squad. The Rams will have to bring their A game for sure.
