To me Arians is in a little bit of cover/panic mode. His nonsense after the game was just that, nonsense, smoke screen ect. He has a great D and a great DC but, that offense is one QB number 3 and is sort of on fumes. Not the situation you want to be heading into the playoffs with. To me they are the 3rd or 4th most dangerous team right now in the NFC. Can you really see them giving Green Bay and Rodgers a run for their money come play off time? The Cardinals O is in trouble and time is running out to get it straight.

I don't think it's luck at all. Considering the team full of second and third stringers beats a team full of first round draft picks, talent and coaching won that game.

Coaching/game planning did in the Rams o line, that's for sure! A bit of luck with the ball bounces would have been cool but it still came down to the o line being outplayed and some less than stellar play calling!

I would say bad O line play did in the coaching/game planning myself... but YMMV.

I agree with this but it don't explain why Barnes and Jones aren't being used in the place of Wells/Joseph! Unless they suck worse! :eek:

Unfortunately, I think this must be the case. Can't think of any reason they're still riding the pine otherwise.
Then it seems that o line needs to be address in the first 2 rounds at least! :cry:

I wouldn't necessarily go that high with them, since we're supposed to have this great O-Line coach, and one would think he wouldn't need the entire line except Barksdale to be 1st and 2nd round picks. But I wouldn't mind drafting at least one of those positions high. Maybe look for FA help for the other position of need.

Is it just me, or is Barret Jones pretty much a joke? What is he even doing on the 53 man roster this past 2 years? He never plays.

He's doing everybody's taxes.

They recovered Mason's but Jenkins wasn't able to recover Williams'.

It's amazing, the Rams and Jenkins specifically had 3 turnovers in his hands and wasn't able to come up with any of them. I don't fault Jenkins for that, just the breaks. Game of inches stuff.
