Do we dare hope for a... THIRD consecutive shutout?

[Elmgrovegnome]

you really could say the same about any coach, including our own

I disagree. All coaches complain about bad calls but some just have this way about doing it that makes them look like whiny bitcches, or big grumps trying to intimidate refs. Arians will get bitchy about stuff that is not even worth getting mad about. You'll rarely see Fisher have an overly visceral reaction to calls. The worst that come to mind are Harbaugh, Bellicheck, and Arians.

Pete doesn't even get that bad compared to those three.

I hope so, so I have a shot at 10 million ROD $$

I just tossed 10 mil at ya, go ahead and bet on the Rams.

 

[LesBaker]

Agree 100% about BA being a prick. To see him whining and crying like a little girl on the sidelines when we played them in AZ over every single call has put him on my Axis of Evil forever! I'd pay to see @Username punch him in the dick!

I'll pony up too that way he can get punched twice lol.

eh i disagree - i don't think there's a coach outside of dungy that i haven't seen lose his shit at official

This is the best team in the NFC for reason. No way they go scoreless. The focus is on keeping the score low.

I don't think they are the best team in the NFC and I think when all is said and done with this year, nobody will disagree.

If the Cards don't make their whole offense about getting rid of the ball as quick as possible, and bringing in extra blockers for the whole game in an attempt to get the run game going, then they deserve to get blanked - and probably will.

 

[xander47]

I wanna see them attempt a late game pointless FG only to get blocked and returned for a touchdown

Yep, and i've been reading a lot of stuff from their fans this week about throwing it deep, forcing our DB's to loosen up, respect the deep ball etc...
That would pretty stupid. I HOPE they try to get Stanton into deep drops to let plays develop downfield. That's exactly what our front four wants to see. :snicker:

 

[Corbin]

I see them at the very least knocking a few field goals in, no shut outs this week. Time TO come back to Earth guys! Lol

 

[RamzFanz]

Bruce Arians may be well liked around the league but I think he is a prick. And being a prick, even if he is down by 20 with 3:00 on the clock, I could see him kicking a meaningless field goal just to avoid being the Rams third consecutive shutout.

Can you imagine the boos in the dome if he pulls that?

Can you imagine the cheers if the Rams block it?

 

[Mojo Ram]

Can you imagine the cheers if the Rams block it?

The EJD would instantly become an outdoor stadium after the roof blew off. Seriously.

Offensively Fitz is banged up, but expected to play. Our O-line has done better, our #1 draft pick Cooper is in there now after riding the pine all year and after being injured all of last year. The best free agent pick up we've had in years, even better than Palmer, is Veldheer. Having a LT is just amazing to Cardinal fans, he and Quinn will battle it out once again. Our run game just got some fresh legs, we pulled a cat of the practice squad and he came up aces in our last game, his name is Williams, and he really is dirty when it comes to them moves. Our receiver core is where we outmatch pretty much every team in the NFL. So much talent, it's hard to get everybody touches, but even harder when you have a QB struggling.

Forget the shutout. We mastered that already.

The goal is holding the Arizona offense to negative total yards over 4 quarters !!

But ill settle for a 10 sack game.

Welcome dude. Long time no see.

In the secondary we have EJ Gaines who is a rookie. He'll probably be on Brown a lot. Dude is damn good though. Plays like a 5 year vet.

Stanton has to be able to get the ball out very quickly and know where his targets are because he won't have much time to throw, even with Veldheer. Palmer being a vet has dealt with defenses long enough to figure it out but Stanton my struggle.

Yes, they took quite a hit with the loss of Palmer but they were, at least at one time, the top team. They still have plenty of weapons.

I think GB is the best, but that D will eventually bite them.

Home field in GB will be huge.

It may come down to the Super Bowl, but I don't like GB against the Pats if that's the matchup... I think it's a tossup against the Broncos.
