Winning on the road is one of the toughest things to do. Can the Rams win two in a row on the road? When was the last time they did?

IDK, but I'm counting on three with SD. I actually think SD will be a tougher win than this one.

It's not that difficult, the road team wins around 43% of the time, it's harder than winning sure, but it's not some impossible feat that can't be done.

As for the last time we won 2 in a row on the road, 2012 we beat Arizona, then the Bills, then the Bucs, the Arizona game was the road game after we tied the 49ers on the road. We did play home games between them so I'm not sure if that answers the question?

No it won't the Cardinals are a hard hitting well coached and physical football team the San Diego Chargers are a paper tiger!

I think it did. Well done, man.

Yeah it will and here's why

1) Rivers is a lot better than Palmer

2) SD has a better pass rush

3) SD has a better running game and interior OL.

3) Anontio Gates and Allen are tougher to defend than Fitz and whoever.

4) Ricers is better against the blitz, period.

5) Rams know what expect from ARZ

6) Palmer hasn't played a good pass rushing team, besides the Niners. SD has played the Chiefs. That's plenty...

7) Cowboys softened ARZ up for us. They're gonna be shell shocked with the heat we bring.

The last 9 times the Rams played back to back road games they won only 1 of the games 4 times and didnt win back to back.
In 2010 however the Rams played 3 consecutive road games and won the first 2
Coincidentally that was the last time the Rams played 3 straight road games
They beat Denver and then.... Arizona
Hopefully the trend repeats itself!

Guess you feel the Chargers are better than the Cardinals I don't. I've never respected the Chargers and feel they are always a beatable team, however, while I agree with you that the Rams do know the Cardinals better IMO the Cardinal defense is for real and they might just have the best secondary in the NFL.

IDK either, but I think the Rams can make it 4 in a row this year! I'm holding out on an opinion on the last one in Seattle, for now.

It's all in how they use Tavon for me. He needs way more snaps than he is currently getting. Work him out of the slot like they used Danny. What's happening is they are rarely playing him and when he finally gets on the field, defenses know what's about to go down. Give him more snaps and it will keep them guessing.

As for the road game win streak, I think it can be done but I'm not going to get excited about this. Every time I get excited about what a Rams win can do for this team, they go out and lay an egg.

Slot, on the move, stacked, bunched....I get it...but it better looks like he wants it too...otherwise, put Bailey in the slot....Danny was a monster...Hungry, UDFA, on his last legs in the league...would kill himself to catch a pass...I don't see that yet in Tavon...Hell, we don't have too many wr's on the team like that....his snap counts went from high to low...probably cause he doesn't do anything...

Good points. I think he is hungry, however, you won't last long in this league if you aren't.

Avg. NFL career, 3.3 years....some only want that first contract...some wanna be HOF'ers....can you look at Aaron Donald's play and tell where he leans?....

Can you look at Tavon Austin's play and guess where he's headed? Why no stories about him coming early, staying late, hard working? Just saying....I've said enough about this guy, in two threads today...I am NOT a Tavon basher, I just look at his play...I look at Bailey's, Quick's, Britt's, and I look at Givens & Austin...I see a difference...subtle, but there....

Understood, I don't think you're bashing him at all; You just want to see more as do I.
