PREGAME Cardinals at Rams - Oct 3rd

[FarNorth]

I suspect this will be our best rushing game so far this season, and that extra balance just creates more opportunities for Stafford.
Murray has thrown 4 interceptions & been sacked 5 times, so I'll expect our D to feast.

Playing Murray is the exact opposite of playing Brady. Not that he's bad, he has some great skills. But the D should be able to force some sacks and turnovers against him.

I think that's big for 2 3-0 teams. I think we will win but I'm not sure we will cover.

RAMS SMASH!

Wassup man.
Go to our forum & we, including I, are predicting a loss & already looking forward to SF & CLE. It’s already an L until we can actually beat McVay.

I've been browsing but i don't post anymore. I can only take so much "objective" analysis from a guy like Krang and a few others. Every board has it's homers but it's tough for me to wade through the nonsense.

Cheers to a good game and no injuries/Covid bullshit.

Titans aren’t halfway decent?

Yea you're right. I stand corrected. They took out the hawks. Still think we win by at least 10.

Nothing else needs to be said. I think you covered every aspect of the debate.

Can't wait to see Sony Michel and a healthy Darrel Henderson finally together swinging that 1 - 2 punch at AZ's defense. Arizona is currently allowing a 5.4 ypc average.

As you can probably tell, I thought long and hard about my post.

a healthy Darrel Henderson

That would be really nice. I said earlier this week that i hoped they rested him for this week.

 

[Q729]

So Henderson is expected to be back for this?

No official announcement as yet, although unless his injury was worse than earlier explained, I see no reason why he shouldn't be ready to return against AZ. jmo.

Here is the Cardinals trophy case.....

They're an average team

The Rams keep him in the pocket and make him look over the front 7. Keep the pressure up the middle and game over. Our O is unstoppable. I don't see AZ scoring over 20. Rams will get 40. Home field advantage is real baby!

'99 taught me that the whole "who have they played" thing doesn't wash.

Cards secondary has been surprising. Skeptical as to how good they are but we're about to find out. Should be a fun game biggest concern for me is keeping the QB in the pocket. We gotta contain that little MFer.

Home field is worth 3 points. If it were in Phoenix the line would be even.
I know the Cards are 3-0, but I still see them as battling the Seahawks to not be last in the West

After Bucs, Rams are in playoffs for sure. Rams need full hands on deck come January. if Henderson needs another week (or month), hen take it.
Biggest risk for Rams at this time is health. Rams need it at the right time.

 

[Memento]

Let's not look past them. Kyler Murray is still at least a running threat, and the defense will have to contain him. I hope Morris puts Ramsey on Hopkins at all times, and I mean all times. I respect Ramsey's work in the STAR position, but we simply can't trust D-Will, Long, or Rochell to cover one of the best receivers in the game.

I think we'll score a shit-ton of points on their defense, but we can't allow Chandler Jones to wreck our gameplan.

With all of that said, let's kick their asses!

 

[CGI_Ram]

The Cardinals are 3-0 and this would be a statement win for them. They recognize this opportunity. They will come in with energy.

The Rams need to be careful of emotional let down after the mostly dominating win over the Bucs.

The Rams are at home… Mostly healthy… Big divisional game... This isn’t a must win, but there are a LOT of reasons they should win. They need to go get it.

I also think McVay is so locked in… he’s in “cross every T mode”. He knows he needs to get this team ready to play emotionally every week to reach their potential.

Should be a good game.

 

[fanotodd]

This game is HUGE for both teams. Someone will start 3-1 with that only loss being within the division, the most stacked division. Prior to the season there were many (myself included) who foresaw a 3-1 start, but not losing this game. Now, I don’t want to see 3-1.

Zona has to win a game like this to prove they’re a legitimate contender. The Rams cannot let that happen.

Edit:
Keep in mind the seahawks and 9ers play this weekend also. There will be some separation after these games.
