A few weeks ago after the Bears and Eagles really manhandled the OL, I wrote a post the Rams were soft. While they do have a defense that is built for speed (what Ram player is "big" for their size on D? Not Suh, Brockers, Donald are all undersized, Fowler is not big, nor is Ekubam or Longacre, Littleton and Barron weigh about 225 each, Joyner is 180, Robey-Coleman is about 180, JJ4by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com

....even knowing it is America's Team off a playoff win and all that baggage and money attached to Cowboy ratings and coverage, is the discounting of the Rams. It is largely due to the two SNF losses where they only scored 29 points and were pushed around by PHI and CHI two weeks in a row. Collingsworth and his ilk were not impressed and watched them look bad for two weeks. Understood.by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com

I am already sick of the talking heads (I know, I know, ignore them) saying how awesome Dak and Elliot and the defense is. An excerpt on the Dallas defense from Barnwell's article: Wilson was able to create opportunities in the passing game by attacking the biggest weakness in Dallas' defense. Despite possessing a pair of rangy linebackers in Jaylon Smith and Leighton Vander Esch, the Cby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com

...I know, worth nothing. I have purposely waited to let my anger and anxiety reside a bit after watching a team wearing Blue, White and Yellow get smacked around two weeks in a row. They are done, and in real trouble, Why? Well, an OL that has disintegrated over two weeks where Sullivan looks washed up and Blythe like an undrafted rookie. Whitworth is 36 and wearing down like in 201by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
...and maybe they were hungover from all the things going on, and Goff is 24 and McVay 32. I get that. The OL is mostly older, so maybe they need to get locked in again. But Max is right, it is time NOW to get completely immersed in getting HFA and not leaving California until the SB except for a trip to the desert.

....we are thrilled they won and cheer and scream, etc. After the game, like coaches we see areas that other teams could exploit to cause the Rams to not reach the ultimate goal: a Super Bowl Title. That is how I look at it. Perhaps I am caught up in that and not enough in enjoying the victories, especially after the awful years we went through as fans (although I have a Rams neon light andby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
....going to LA to play (even where they are 6-0 this year, they were 3-5 last year at home including the WC Game loss to ATL where they scored 13 points) is not like going to SEA, or CHI, or PHI in Decemr or January. It is a fun place to play, perfect weather... They are trending down as much as I hate to type that...

Let's see: Eagles lost an OT killer game on the road (a 7o minute slugfest) against a hated opponent on a kinda fluke TD, have to travel across the country again, have two or three RB's out for the year, a bunch of DB's out or wearing name tags to identify themselves, and the Rams are home and NEED this game to re-establish control and secure a BYE and no chance of going back to CHI or any coldby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
...amazes me. I do not even watch or read much from other analysts (NFL Network, ESPN) as this board is so much more in tune to what we all feel and saw. Do we bicker? Of course. Always agree? Nah. But thank the Lord above for this board.by ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
...they had a OLB shadow TGII a lot. It was not there most of the time. Much like ATL did in the playoff game last year. Take away the screen. Others are right today; McVay needs to change formations and run more, even if it is not immediately successful. Trust your All World RB to break a few... Who has the power to get McVay to see that AND call plays accordingly? Snead? McVay KNOby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
There. I wrote it. I am not trying to panic but to see them go into a panic offensively, my gosh, A. Whitworth had two false starts and they were ABUSED all night on the OL. J. Goff looked like a little lost sheep back there and T. Gurley was left to fume, and rightfully so. 11 carries in a pretty tight game? They cannot stop the run with below average LBers who are tiny (225 lb Bby ramsfaninmd - RamsFootballFans.com
...and he told me McVay throws too much and he is spot on. I love McVay, but you are right, run the damn ball. I do not care if it is slow sledding, let TGII keep getting it. It was a close game; no need to abandon the run. He played right into Fangio's hand and turned into McMartz...sickening to watch Goff flail like 2016 FisherBall...

I know that is where sports is now, but I am so thankful the Rams (aside from Peters crotch grab and TGII dropping the ball on first downs which is not a big deal), they are professional.
