We've seen it so many times...we think other teams are short handed but they rise up and beat the Rams anyway. In the first half of the Cards game, the Rams know they are playing without half their starters and everyone steps up and play to their potential for the first time in many weeks.
What this teaches us is that football is a game of brains and brawn, but above else, it's a game of passion. If the Rams can figure out how to play with this level of abandon the rest of the way, they have the talent to be truly special.
