Nice game Goff!

 

[RamsFan88]

I know that I shouldn't, but I'm going to be very excited about this win. The potential is there to be solid on offense and to be a top 5 defense. And maybe...playoffs.

Nice pitch and catch by Mannion and Carrier. BTW, Goff dropped back 30 times today for passing and he was only sacked ONCE!! I say the culture of Fisher losing and 7-9 bullshit is officially over!!

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Well, Goff and McVay's first win both came today in a game that was decided a long time ago. Got to say, I liked what I saw today. I really hope we can pour it on next week (can't stand Washington).

 

[Retroram52]

I agree UVA. WE have turned a corner and the last 12 years of crap may indeed be over. I hope we continue next week against the Redskins.

One of the things I liked most about this ass kicking, is Sean was all business. You couldn't tell if he won or lost by his demeanor they just showed on the screen.

Tells me he expects to win and knows what the real goals are here because nothing is accomplished in Week 1 other than getting off on the right foot.

 

[Retroram52]

We are officially 1-0. And don't look now but we lead the NFC West after just one week.

 

[Retroram52]

Like I have stated before, this McVay fella reminds me of a combo of Chuck Knox and Dick Vermeil. Plus, he was mentored by the Gruden family of coaches which means we may have a real deal here!!

 

[Retroram52]

See everyone next week for the Redskins game!

 

[Rambunctious]

I'm impressed and a little shocked. This team is 100% different from the Fisher days. The D is only going to get better. The Rams are back!

 

[UVA_Guy81]

I agree UVA. WE have turned a corner and the last 12 years of crap may indeed be over. I hope we continue next week against the Redskins.

I watched the Skins-Eagles game today. From what I saw on their offense, if we can keep a check on Cousins' two favorite targets (Terrelle Pryor and Jordan Reed) we can definitely take them.

 

[SJ76]

Indy was pretty bad. That said I think the Rams are young and totally different with this coaching staff.

I watched the Eagles-Skins today......it's what I was allowed to watch in my local market (despite not being an EC resident).....if the Rams bring the same intensity next week, they can beat the Redskins. Cousins didn't get much time to throw, the Eagles DL controlled the trenches.....and the Rams should be able to get pressure on him.

Redskins might be looking for blood next game, not to mention they have some intel about McVay

McVay has a lot more intel on the Redskins than they have on him. The Skins had better personnel on offense last year as well.

He's got all the motivation in the world behind him for this game. And knows Cousins weaknesses probably better than Cousins.

 

[RamsFan88]

Best stat for Goff: 7-8 for 181 yards on pass attempts 15 yards down the field or more.

so apparently that very nice punt by Hekker was very hard according to ex Colt McAfee

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Great to finally see a game like that from the Rams

Gonna need to see that effort more consistently before I get too excited about the possibilities this season.

After all, the Rams did start 3-1 last season and we all got our hopes only to see it all collapse.

Rams Discuss Blowout Of Colts

Notice that the players are using "WE" a lot in their interviews. I love the change in culture already.
