London Game Against AZ looks to be a BRAWL

[Ants]

London games are typically awful. I expect a stinker that no one who isn't a fan of these two teams will want to watch.

I will make a prediction, one team will come to play and the other one may as well have stayed home.

It is, I admin a UK based Rams fans group and the Saturday pub meet up has nearly 80 fans saying they are attending with another 65 Interested. I have been in touch with groups from Germany and Denmark about their attendance over the weekend. I've also been in touch with two LA Season Ticket holders who are coming across for the game.

The actual game event has around 150 Rams fans listed as attending.

The Rams are certainly not the best supported team here in the UK and Europe but we will certainly do our best.

EDIT - this in no way represents everyone who might attend the game of course + neutral fans will normally side with the Home side unless the game massively shifts against them.

Thats f’n awesome! I give my hats off to you for keeping it together across the pond for our team! lol
Man I really wanted to go to this game but I chose the one in China ( which they pushed back, I wished i would have known!) It would be a hell of an experience watching a game in the UK drinking some pints with a UK crowd! Lol

Not disguarding them , just confident when should win easy. It's set up for The Rams.

You have to remember this is a home game . Yes it is a division game as well.

Your forgetting this is a Ram team that has a chip on there shoulder & ready to prove they are The top team in The NFL !!

I don't know if your a true Rams fan you can't see that. The Jags team was a much tougher opponent.

Did you see that PP scored 2 TD's as well. AP scored 2 TD's , but at the end of the game Arizona almost blew a 28 point lead to only win by 2.

To discount Wade & McVay is a joke.The Rams had 5 turnovers against Seattle & still almost won.

Carson Palmer is a sitting Duck across the Pond waiting for The Rams defense.
They have the recipe for Duck soup.

Believe me Alex Ogletree will show up for an early Halloween Feast !!

It’s a home game in London?
Okay.

And does the Cardinals not have a chip on their shoulder? They see your vision that the Rams are up and coming so they are just going to roll over for us?!

We turned the ball over 5 Times and didn’t win. Regardless if we still had a shot to win, WE DIDNT WIN!!

To discount an opponent is not wise at this point, especially a divisional opponent. We are not a complete team as of yet with a few things to get in gear before we consistently crank out dominate wins.

Where can I get an IV of that KoolAid you got going? :rolllaugh:

Honestly I hope I’m just being overly cautious do to the last decade or so of play. But it does seem the kool aid drinking Rams fans are the ones who rant and rave the most on the board after a big loss. IDK.

I’m converned with our run D and then the Cards using PA off of them owning us in the running game. It will be interesting to say the least due to Arians familiarity and how he likes to run his offense.

Tbh I like the match up of our Ovs. Thier D.

I don't think China will ever happen the time differences are just crazy - 16 hours in front of LA and 13 in front of NY, I've tried to do the calculations and can't find a time in China that would hit any vaguely reasonable TV viewing time in the US.

If it happens it is on my bucket list as well though!

Just last week, the London game looked like an easy win (if there is such a thing in the NFL).

Really? Mack, you actually believe we'll win a division game easy???

Division game dudes. Throw all logic out the effin window.

Cards gonna give us all they got, hope the Rams are ready and by God they'd better shut down the MFing Cards' running game.

And @Corbin are correct...divisional games are usually the toughest tests of the season....no matter the record...or who's struggling...Look at our record vs the division when WE were struggling. They know our personnel too well...but our scheme is different, so maybe we can sneak up on them....

Tough game....we better be ready to play...offense needs to step up a bit...defense needs to continue to improve...ESPECIALLY IN THE RUN DEFENSE!

 

[Jacobarch]

That's true if it's an actual home game .

Doesn't matter that it's in the UK. Bookies still consider it a home game.

Right? I’ve always wanted to go to China and see the normal BS! Ps Chinese chicks all over

 

[Mackeyser]

Really? Mack, you actually believe we'll win a division game easy???

Based on the state of their D and run game? Yep, I did. But AP changes the entire dynamic.

I think it's going to be a good game now. If only one team shows up to play, I hope that it's us!!!

 

[LARams_1963]

Yo, @RAMS1083...what's with the "Chill" for my post?

I rarely get overly excited.... That being said, I think we are gonna seriously kick the Gridbirds asses!!!!!

Well I don't know how much Arians knows about McVay & Wade.
Bones was the coach the last game of the season in 2016(Jan 2017). I think
The Rams really get up for them. Gurley had his first breakout game against them. He has something to prove to them this season.
AP is not a player The Rams have to really worry about outside his running. I think the Jags rookie RB is a better back at this time.
Carson Palmer does not have the pass protection he is going to need. The Rams have put a serious whipping stick on him. He should be a little fun shy with all the weapons Wade is going to throw at him.
The Cardinals run defense will be. O match for The Rams.
35-19 Rams

Yall got me ready for the, "what Cardinal fans are saying" post...LOL

Not yet....but...Fournette is a beast....

AP....One of the few opponents that I pray doesn't read what we fans say....dude is named all-day....dude is already motivated....put that gif of him staring THROUGH Sean Peyton....that look he had...reminded me of OJ.....

 

[DaveFan'51]

Just last week, the London game looked like an easy win (if there is such a thing in the NFL).

Now?

Well, let's just say that Adrian Peterson looks to be AP again behind that Cards OL.

Fitz is still Fitz and Carson can still deliver the ball.

Their D is still a wild card, but they have players.

I still like our chances because this team, young and inconsistent as they are, they find a way to win... one week O, another week D, this week Special Teams.

And we're 3-0 on the road which means that McVay's preparation for road games isn't a fluke.

If our D shows up, this game has all the makings of a downright slobberknocker...

Here's hoping Joyner is healthy cuz we'll need him.

Oh, and JJ is really showing up at safety, isn't he???

I hope McVay reminds them of the 44-6 Beat Down we suffered at the Cards hands last January, I want Pay-Back!!

I can tell you with 100% confidence, that is not true.
Lol.

 

[Jacobarch]

After watching the Cards game, I'm still not that impressed with their offense. They played against the same D that Case Keenum put up 300+ and 3 TDs against. AP just doesn't look explosive, and if you touch Palmer he gets happy feet. We have to stay focused for this game because like others have pointed out London games are usually a slopfest

 

[IBruce80]

Massively excited about the London game now, European Rams fans are gathering in unheard of numbers for this one.

I'll try and put up a Thread for the Saturday meet up


We gotta beat those Cardinals!

Great to hear.
Wish I could make it down for the Saturday meet but have work commitments.
Will be at the stadium mid day on Sunday so hopefully bump into a few Rams fans.

I'm a bit concerned that they're flying here on Thursday, but trust the coach's decision.

On a side note, I wish it was an earlier kick-off because its gonna be a rush travelling back by train after the game.

 

[bubbaramfan]

Which stadium is the game at?

Rams look like the better team no doubt. But division games are a different deal, and Arians is a nasty old MFer who isn't gonna want to get shown up by the new kid in town. Like we saw with Washington, McVay's gonna get all Arians can cook up.

Still like the Rams of course in this one. But it might get dirty up in merry old England lol.

I think AZ will get out to an early lead but we will wear down their defense and make the proper adjustments to their offense. The thing I see with the Rams is we take over games with our Oline, that's what we need to keep doing. Even against Seattle we ran all over them but McVay was a little undisciplined in his approach. He doesn't seem like the type of coach to make the same mistake twice.
I totally agree about division games they are always tight. Should be a good one !

Don't let the stats from the Bucs game fool you, AP is a shell of his former self. He obviously hasn't lost his vision so if the defense isn't gap-sound he is going to make you pay. But he has lost a lot of his speed and doesn't have nearly the same burst.

This is from his rookie year:




And this is his highlights from this week:




And for the record, Fournette is much better than AP at this stage of their careers. No way Peterson makes that 75 yard run that Fournette had against us.

Always thought that All Day nickname was one of the worst in the NFL. He's all day unless it requires pass blocking or pass catching. You know like half of the plays from offense. Basically he's all day only half of the day.

Yeah and Cheat Carroll didn’t know McVay either but who won that matchup?

ESPN analyst is calling you! :rolllaugh:
