The main thing I'm nervous to see is, can Stafford play like Stafford of last year? Game 1 he was a shell of himself. This is by far the most important factor in this game and going forward in the season. Older QB's can fall off a cliff, praying this is not that.

And I think that was to Merlins point on the thread he created. People overlooked the true meaning and went ape shit over it for nothing. It is concerning how easily an older QB could just fall off. Is he a HoF QB? Absolutely, but is he the same younger Stafford prior to this season? Well that is TBD. Mental toughness and physicality still need to be there, and since the NFL is getting faster he needs to be ready for it.

I believe the Rams will respond because of the character of their players. The only home field advantage of playing in LA is the players getting to sleep in their own beds. Visiting teams with diehard fan bases routinely outnumber LA fans. Which pisses me off because it's fucking embarassing. Expect to see plenty of Giants blue in the stands Monday night.

You maybe Right- after Sunday Night there Fan Base may pay Top Dollar here in LA.

The Rams(Mcvay) didn’t help to promote The Rams going to Australia,where they could have been the talk of The NFL in a positive way.

The Fan base though the Opening Night tell us a better Truth of where this Organization has Grown to The LA FAN Base. Those YELLOW JERSEYS should be cool.

If we don't have an answer for their run game featuring the big fullback, it might end up being a horrible repeat of the last game. Long drives with high ToP, our O doesn't get into a rhythm. How can we stop their run schematically? What changes can we make there (aside from hopping in the time machine, going back, and drafting a stud ILB)?

Yeah, that fullback is 300 lbs and that is concerning. Just cannot let them get rolling on the ground or it could be a long night

The Rams will play Zone coverage this game, and honestly that will be the right move with Dart. He'll eat you alive running the ball if we play man coverage. I know it's not what we want to see or hear but some teams you have to run certain schemes to negate the QB from getting 10 - 20 yards running the ball.

If we play strictly zone, that's a huge mistake. There are ways to play man and still have a QB spy or even have zone concepts mixed in with some man so I'm not buying that thought that zone is the only way too go. I wanna see them mix it up for once. Teams getting a beat on the defense is a problem we don't wanna have. Lastly, didn't Purdy look like Vick on us anyways? Aw fuck me for thinking about that shit game again lol

I think obviously this will not be strictly zone, but probably a minimum of 70-80%.

I was going to say less man-to-man. I asked a bunch of questions on what KC and the Hags played. Interesting: the Hags 90% zone against the Patsies. Spags has moved to 80% zone. It's long with a multi-question link.

I think it gets down to rotating different coverages with different blitz packages to confuse QBs. Control the edges in the pass rush with pressure up the middle. They can't let Dart get comfortable in the pocket. He has the weapons that a passive defense won't be able to stop. Maybe AD gets back to help the pass rush.

What is really unhealthy for us fans is to have a game like we did down under and have 11 days to think about it until we have a chance to breathe again.

Sure wish we played on Sunday.

Def a good sign. I’m going to the game on Monday and a Donald return would make it so much better haha

Same here, and seeing 99 come out of that tunnel again would be worth the price alone.... but if he could help them pull out a win while we're there, that would be pretty cool too lol

Hard for me to get a handle on Monday Night.

Cowgirls defense looked like last year's - horrible.

Giants offense looked "efficient". They took advantage of breakdowns in the Cowgirls defense repeatedly (Cowgirls fault, but smart of Giants to see it and keep going to that well).

Nearly impossible to say what Rams team shows up Monday. I want to believe all the warts will have been treated but... that's why they play the games.

One thing for certain: After the game, we'll have a better understanding of who these 2026 Rams are all about.

shanny and Raheem tied McVays nuts up, I predict a bounce back game from Stafrord. Not sure that shula d will hold up. Corum looks quick and had a bust to him. I look for him to have more success this year, give him the rock. I give the edge to the Giants in a close one. God i hope im wrong,
 
I'm ok with the soft zone as your base defense. But it makes me scratch my head when the Rams sit back and get picked apart because the QB sits back there and tosses 3-5 yard passes and releases the ball in 2 seconds. But if you send the blitz, one guy will likely get through, take the QB off his spot and disrupt the play. I'd like to see more aggression from the defense at times. And as for last week, IMO Stafford looked rusty and missed a lot of throws. I think it's the lack of playing time in pre-season and I don't disagree with not laying him in preseason. But the whiners being hated fucktards, I wish the Rams had prepared better.

So now AD's to blame. Can't make this shit up.

This can be a Two Answer Response! Blue font or not.

Can we blame him for the Teams Failures After he Retired, no. Thats the Brass, and the other players.

Can we Blame Him this season for not playing, while getting paid a lot of fucking money, Absolutely! We need him the Most NOW! If it was anyone else, everyone would be Shitting on him for not playing if it wasnt AD.
