After six weeks .... dun, dun, dunnnnn ...

[James Otto]

Rams lead the lead in scoring at 29.8 PPG! No, that is not a typo!

 

[Farr Be It]

...and the Rams have plays two of the toughest defenses in Seattle and Jax. Also Washington defense is no slouch.

 

[bubbaramfan]

They also lead the league in mis-handled punts. Gotta fix that if they want to make the playoffs.

 

[RamDino]

Just amazing what McVay, Snead, and Goff have done!

Yeah... after the game, I had mixed emotions... loved the win (love any win) but reflected back on their inability to score in the red zone still.

27 points but only one TD by the offense.

So, I'm thinking... "well, wining this way isn't sustainable".

But then I start thinking that good teams "find" ways to win... one week, it might be the offense.. another week the defense... still another, the special teams.

This was the special teams week.

But I am still concerned over their struggles in the red zone.

Let's see how they win next Sunday... I am hoping for at least three TDs by the offense.

I agree with all of this. But also consider this - we won on the road against a good team, even though we didn't execute a complete game from all units. Still won, even while learning on the job. THAT bodes well for the future. Keep always grinding, but if this team can put in consistently good performances, oh boy... they could be going places. And, for once, not just home.

You don't hear people still acting like the Rams have not really beat any good teams after wins away at Dallas and Jacksonville. Also their 2 losses went right down to the end of the game and they were in them right to the end. I also liked that the CB, Peterson, who was beaten for that last touchdown by Washington was released the next week.

Not bad....I only wanted 25 points a game...

The Cardinals are 20th with 19.8 points per game. They have dropped 7 points per game since last season. No other team has increased their points per game more from last season than the Rams. That bodes well for us.

 

[12intheBox]

Does that number include 4 TDs scored by defense and special teams?

Points are points, but let not give the offense a nickname or anything just yet.

The offense is still averaging 25ppg without the defense.

They miss that RB....and now that they've replaced him with a better one....they quickly scored 31 points....and coasted the last 2 quarters.

This team is still Bruce Arians dangerous...

True, but let's not forget that the Rams had 10 return TD's in 1999 - 2 KO return TD's by Tony Horne, 1 PR TD by Az Hakim, 2 INT retrn TD's by Mike Jones, 2 INT return by Grant Wistrom, and 1 INT return each by Todd Lyght, Devin Bush, and Dre Bly.

Damn, that was a fun year.

DJ is a far superior back than AP at this point. DJ is also a threat that will burn you running routes as well.
AP will definitely help Arians run a more balanced offense but AP can be contained unlike DJ who can hurt you everywhere.

I did have the Cards game on while streaming the Rams game on the laptop. I wouldn't say AZ coasted in the 2nd half. IMO they fell asleep at the wheel with a big lead and survived a comeback vs a 2nd string QB.

Woooooooo

Someone needs to replace the faces of the GSoT from the old infamous cover and put some of this year's Rams on it! :banana:
