1. Every game isn't going to be a cakewalk. Every opponent isn't Oakland and Arizona. Von Miller and Bradley Chubb are still studs and the strength of that team.

2. Case Keenum getting garbage time TDs isn't because of refs. It's the Rams' Achilles' heel right now with starting CBs on IR or not 100%. It has shown the past few weeks.

3. The Rams strength on defense is the DL and it's coming around now.

4. Both teams showed their strengths and weaknesses, but the Rams have more strengths hence the W.

5. Phambili (onwards) to SF.

I leaned
1-The defense can stop the run when they feel like it.
2-Goff is human.
3- McVay still gets pass happy.
4- losing one of WR against a good defense hurts unlike Seattle where we lost 2 and didn't miss a beat.
5- Hill had a bad day but can bounce back.

1) The Rams are STILL a good road team
2) The Rams secondary isn't very good (but I already saw that in previous games)
3) The refs are STILL terrible
4) The Rams are STILL undefeated.

If you look back at when the Ram's defense started to have issues, it seems like it began when Aqib Talib went down.

Obviously one player doesn't make the defense but I believe his leadership and experience is the gel that this defense needs. I think he also keeps Peters in check so he doesn't get off track like in the Seattle game. Good thing he'll be back, hopefully just in time for home stretch of the season and the playoffs.

But still, 6-0 despite what seems like the worst officiating I've seen in a while. No reason we can't be 7-0 heading home to play Green Bay.

I learned that the Los Angeles Rams have not even come close to peaking yet and they still sit on top of the NFL mountain with a 6-0 record.
Oh and missed field goals (extra points) needs to freaking stop! :rant:

2nd QTR: vs Chargers [:04] S.Ficken 46 yard field goal is No Good, Wide Right. Rams go into half time with 21-13 lead instead of 24-13 (final score 35-23)

4th QTR: vs Vikings (8:25) S.Ficken 28 yard field goal is No Good, Wide Right. Rams hold a 38-31 lead failing to go up 41-31 (final score 38-31)

4th QTR: at Seattle (14:57) C.Santos extra point is No Good, Wide Left. Rams don't tie up the game and trail 31-30. His go ahead field goal only put the Rams up 2 points. (final score 33-31)

4th QTR: at Broncos (10:19) C.Santos 47 yard field goal is No Good, Wide Right. Rams can go up 23-10 instead they the score remains 20-10 & Broncos drive down to kick a field goal closing the gap to 20-13 (final score 23-20)

It’s cool to see that Talib is traveling with the team

They count the same as blowout wins!!!

Couldn't agree more, sometimes winning ugly matches when things just aren't clicking is more difficult than the blow out ones when you're running like a fine tuned machine :)

But you could also say that if we converted our Redzone attempts more efficiently we'd be brushing everyone aside...

Well, I looked at the schedule and I don't see any other bad weather games.

Our toughest away game left is NO and that's in a dome.

Also, for the playoffs, if we don't finish first, unless we completely tank, we're finishing second which means we're at home or in a dome for the playoffs.

So, unless SoCal gets unseasonably cold come January (it happens as anyone who's stayed up all night on Colorado Blvd to watch the Rose Parade live can attest), we should be fine.

Honestly, as long as Goff doesn't have to wear those gloves again, we should be good. There's no way he's that inaccurate had he not needed to wear gloves.

Bears in Chicago on Dec 9th could be a weather game outdoors.

Should be a bit nippy at the very least. Lol.

I think the biggest thing we are missing is a consistent edge rusher. If we had more pressure on the outside it would force QB's up the middle and we know what's waiting there. That's the one thing that has surprised me this year is lack of sacks.
 
1. Whitworth is a beast.

2. Saffold is a beast.

3. Sullivan is a beast.

4. Blythe is a beast.

5. Havenstein is a beast.

At the end of the day this game was won on the backs of those 5 gentlemen. Von Miller, Bradley Chubb, altitude, getting smacked on every play in the cold and they still get 200+ rushing on the ground?

Take a bow.
Our online is the best in the Leauge :boxing:


Oh, and Kromer is a beast.
