Thanks, OldSchool!First time the top 4 scoring offenses from the regular season were ever all in the conference finals according to Fox just now.
Watching the Rams control the clock was a thing of beauty. Rams defense got plenty of time to rest in the game. The final score didn’t really show how well the Rams played the Cowboys.Rams defense is a true darkhorse right now. It's hard to say exactly who they are when they didn't have Talib for such a long and important stretch of games.
And the Rams' sudden running game surge with Anderson's addition benefits that defense too. It's like we have become a different team in a four week stretch, going from a passing team floundering from losing Kupp and a porous defense without Talib to an NFC East style offense with a defense that might be peaking at the right time.
Rams are a team to fear for that reason IMO. Hope the D can keep it up.

Yeah I guess, at least for now, this puts away that tired old notionBut defense wins championships.

If the Rams could have scored a TD on those 2 short FGs this game would have been over by halftime.Watching the Rams control the clock was a thing of beauty. Rams defense got plenty of time to rest in the game. The final score didn’t really show how well the Rams played the Cowboys.
Yeah I guess, at least for now, this puts away that tired old notionOffenses reign supreme in this incarnation of the NFL and it's likely to stay that way for a while.

I think that the defense played the Cowboys really well. Sure, things didn’t go perfectly, but I think forcing Dak to try and beat you was the ideal strategy. It’s one thing to plan on shutting Zeke down, it’s another to actually do it.I guess I didn't think the D as a whole was that great against Dallas...
The run defense was certainly great but as a team they avg 21 pts per game.. we gave them 22. (so avg)
They had a lot of wide open recievers -- Throws that Brees ain't going to miss.
So yeah I was happy with the run defense - but we are going to need a lot more pressure on the QB and a lot better coverage.

I definitely was happy with how the Defense handled themselves. I think this week will be much more challenging for the Rams' defense, but I am looking forward to how they respond. Wade will have his hands full game planning for the Saints, but I think he has a better idea of what to do this time around. Not to mention Talib will be able to cover Thomas. I think that will make a big difference over Peters' coverage from Week 9.Yea, he was the leading rusher in the league and the Rams run defense was near the bottom at stopping the run. Wade had the right defensive game plan and his players executed it to utter perfection. Now the game plan to beat the Aints will be to pressure Brees and take away Michael Thomas.
