PREGAME Rams playing Saturday @ Carolina

[Merlin]

I have one name that played terrible in the Panther loss...FORBES!!! Not to hammer the guy...but I think we all remember him getting beat because he let the WR get behind him for 2 TDs. Despite Stafford's pick 6 and fumble.

I'm certain the defense is gonna be peaked for this...SO...I can't wait to see how Shula plays this one!!!

I'm seeing a lot of folks want a blowout game here...and that's possible...I JUST WANT A SOLID WIN!

Go in there FOCUSED AND HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS!!!

I see Rams 31 Panthers 17

Yeah I'd imagine they're gonna bench Forbes or reduce his snaps and responsibilities considerably. He looks like he's totally lost his confidence. But in the end what matters is the defensive front dominates. They're either gonna be all over Young, or we're gonna be in a shootout.

You could not ask for anything better here. Not cold, even if its a little rainy we've played in that multiple times. The Panthers were always going to have more day of rest, but they also played a road game last week while we played a home game. The kickoff is at 1:30 pacific time.

The Seahawks killed this team. They are inconsistent, but not very good. Our pass rush needs to get home this time. Their run defense isn't great, and while their pass defense is above average, our passing game is elite. This defense should not be able to stop us, and our defense SHOULD be able to stop them. And we are motivated by the fact that this game where we beat ourselves earlier this year - is what cost us the NFC West, ultimately. I'm convinced that we come out on fire against the Falcons if our loss to Seattle still had us in control of our own destiny.

I want McVay to open the playbook up on them from all angles. Not necessarily getting big chunks passing alot...but giving them multiple looks. Getting the RBs going on the ground and hitting them out of the backfield underneath. Letting the TEs beat them up short too.

I KNOW STAFFORD HASN'T FORGOTTEN THAT GAME...I EXPECT HIM TO BE REALLY SHARP THIS TIME!!!

I haven't been a Forbes fan, but there are other DB's that aren't playing that much better. #4 was getting burned all over SoFi

 

[Ramhusker]

Weather tells me cloudy and 69/54 for Sat night

 

[Soul Surfer]

So McCreary was our highest rated cornerback according to PFF with a 78.3. Not bad for a guy just returning to play after a minor injury.
And we're going to have Devante Adams back.
And Ferguson back.
And Lake back.

Damn that sounds good.

Rams open 10 point favorites.

I couldn't believe that when I saw it. Instantly plunked down a grand on the Panthers to cover. Guaranteed that line gets bet down big in the next few days.

That's awesome man.
I'll tell you what.
If you win I'll split it with you.

Lol, if I win I'll be using the money to fund the trip to see the Rams game in Philly the following week.

I have Packers and Eagles winning this weekend.

I will be so happy when the Rams win by 2+ TDs.
You are a Rams fan....right ?
I do not want a "close" win in any way. Luck was all over the Panthers last time, could have easily been a blowout and I hope it happens.

Yeah, I am a Rams fan. I also happen to be a person who believes what his eyes tell him and who's been gambling (legally) since he was 18. I'm more than comfortable with my bet. My bet in no way impedes my desire for the Rams to win, especially since I'm making a long ass drive to be at the game.

If it makes you feel any better I've never placed a single bet in my life on the Rams to lose.

I hate the whiners but I'll give them credit for being competitive with the loss of so many key players.

Indeed, most teams would have folded after being just brutalized like that.

 

[fanotodd]

This game comes down to the pass rush. Their QB is too small to see over the middle. Nearly all of his passes are to the flat, sidelines, and screens/dump offs. That’s why going deep on those 4th downs (double move) was actually a good idea for them.
…but overplaying those dump offs to the flat on the early downs is a pick 6 waiting to happen.

Interesting site if you're into these type of things.

Rams are the least penalized team this season if anyone didn't know that already.

I didn't know that, but it appears they get BS calls at the most crucial moments of the game.

I don't bet on sports and couldn't bet for the other team to cover, but how does that work. Say we're up two TD's with a few mins left and we have the ball. Are you rooting for Stafford to throw a pick 6 so the panthers cover? Or are you rooting for the Rams to score another TD?

I never root against them, ever.

So, if the Panthers win................... do YOU win ?
