Game Thread: Week 7, Phoenix Cardinals @ Los Angeles Rams, 10/22/17, 10:00 am PDT, Fox

Phoenix is going to be the away team and the Rams the home team as they give up their actual home playing this game across the pond. I hope we make the time change and come out with energy, as both teams went to Twickenham Stadium Monday.

The articles about our rejuvenated offense are legit and the Rams are continually addressing offensive target distribution. We still need to get Wadkins in a more prominent role because Gurley is carrying the offense.

The defense is beginning to really come around and if Fassel continues to get the STs playing at the level they did last week, we will be in the hunt big time!!

The Cardinals are not the team they were a couple of years ago but they always seem to get up for the Rams. Bring the A game Rams!!!!!!! and don't eat any mutton before the game.

At least one advantage we had was playing on the east coast on Sunday, making it a little bit easier to adjust to the time zone difference, compared to the Cards who had a home game in Arizona.
I agree with Retro, I'd like to see Watkins become more of a force. I'm wondering if he and Goff just don't have the chemistry or if Goff just has his favorites that he likes targeting and Watkins isn't one of them.
On defense, I think that if we can make AP a non-factor like we did to Fournette (other than that 75 yard run), we will have a good chance to win. From what I've seen of Palmer so far this year, he is really starting to look old, so he doesn't scare me much at all and would take my chances with him beating us over AP.

i really wish the nfl would stop with these international games......if Europe want's a league let them start their own or whatever; otherwise let them watch from the confines of their couch just like me. It's stupid to only have 7 home games because of this London bull shit.

Woo hoo, Rams vs. Cards!!!...........................in London???

 

[Retroram52]

I like our chances especially if we come out of the gate in a hurry like last week. When we score first or nearly so, and often, our chances of winning are greatly improved!!!
