So now that everyone has had a breather from yesterdays tough 16-10 loss, lets start looking at the next three games on our schedule.
Lets start with Jacksonville, they have been playing good ball as of late. Much like the Rams I can't really put my finger on whether their team is for real or not. One week they look like world beaters and the following week they look like a 2-14 team. In many ways Jax is built very much like Seattle on Defense. Simple game-planning lets their guys roam free and make plays. I personally do not believe they are a playoff team yet but they are well on their way. Currently the Jags are ranked No. 3 in points allowed at 16.6 which is two spots better than Seattle at 17.4 per game. The Jags running game isn't a joke either. They are also ranked 5th on points scored at 27.8. Their game plan will be much like Washington's game plan, pound the football at our undersized front 7 and pass when you need to. In short we have to play much better mistake free football if we're going to have a chance at winning on the road.
Moving on to London (Cardinals), after the game in Jacksonville we are staying on the east coast which I think gives us a huge advantage with traveling across the pond. Not to mention we've played there the last two seasons, so by now we should know how to prepare for these games. I worry a little about McVay being inexperienced when it comes to these type of situations.
As far as the Cards are concerned, they are a hot mess at the moment. Their offense is ranked 29th in points scored and not much better at 26th on Defense. Bruce Arians will come prepared tho. so don't let their stats fool you.and don't let the Rams Defense fool you either. I still don't think we're much better than we were a couple of weeks ago. 49ers still struggled to score a TD until the last game in garbage time. That scares me.
After our much needed BYE week we will be facing the Giants, much like the Cards they are in shambles at the moment. Yes they still have their two time SB winning QB and Defensive coord but this game should be easily winnable. And that's what scares me, this game has trap game written all over it. Hope McVay has these guys coming play because NY has had our number the last couple of times we've faced them.
The next three games are going to define this team, contender or pretender.
