1. Every win feels good...
2. ...but that was a bit closer than it should have been.
3. Okay, the Colts got a free 7 points off a fluke play, so there is that.
4. The defense is not fully in synch, in my estimation. I think they'll get there, though. Sooner rather than later, I hope.
5. Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey had big plays late. Guess that's why we pay them the big bucks.
6. Sebastian Joseph-Day has really made himself into a player, and this may have been his best game as a pro (9 tackles, 1 sack, 2 QB hits). You can also see how Donald reacts to him... he knows that SJD really works at his craft.
7. Matthew Stafford faced a higher degree of difficulty today. He wasn't perfect, but he was pretty darn good.
8. Cooper Kupp is having an All-Pro season. He is the complete package.
9. I didn't love the run call to Kupp on 3rd down on the go-ahead drive, but I understand the thought behind it. Colts called a perfect run blitz and Higbee really had no chance of picking it up.
10. In two games, the Rams have trailed for a total of 2:03 minutes (the time it took for the Rams to strike back after the punt gaffe).
11. FWIW, the Rams have defeated two 2020 playoff teams who had a combined record of 32-19 last year.
12. If you're reaction to #11 is, "yeah, but the teams the Rams beat aren't really that good," then I guess you're not impressed with the 49ers' start against Detroit and Philly (9-23 last year, combined) either.
13. Darrell Henderson did some good things but, man... that guy has trouble staying healthy. Hopefully his rib injury is minor and won't keep him out against Tampa next week. We're going to need all hands on deck.
14. Liked what I saw from Sony Michel in his limited action spelling Henderson. Really glad to have him on the roster.
15. Matt Gay looks really solid. Remember the adventure we had at PK at the start of last year. Ugh... don't ever want to go through that again.
16. Wentz showed flashes of the things that made Eagle fans so optimistic about him a few years back, but man... there's another guy who can't stay healthy.
17. Kenny Young's ejection was a bad moment. Who were the two guys who gave him a much needed talking-to... Donald and Ramsey, of course.
18. Out of the gate, the rookie who has seen the most playing time: Robert Rochell. Can't say I called that one. On the flip side, Terrell Burgess is really struggling to find a role coming back from his injury.
19. The OL is holding up nicely over the first two weeks.
20. Really looking forward to see how this team looks against the defending champs next week!
