Next week's victim, the Cardinals

[Battlelyon]

Congrats on the easy win versus the Rams. You are clearly the class of the NFC West at 4-0 come Sunday.

Fire Jeff Fisher

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Yeah, I don't see how we have a shot in this one. The Cards are kicking ass and we're........not.

 

[Battlelyon]

I hope Vegas sticks it to us and make us a 17 point underdog.

I hope Vegas sticks it to us and make us a 17 point underdog.

I would think it has to be at least 10 or 12 points

 

[TEB11]

Let's Go Mets!

 

[Vitamike]

I'm going with 6 - 7.5 tops.

I am thinking 9 points.

We were beating these guys for most of the game last year (until mid 3rd quarter last year in AZ). Granted it was their back-up, but he came in and made some plays. We can stop Chris Johnson and his 200 lb self. The rookie back-up from Northern Iowa is a beast at 6'1 230 - David Johnson. I said it last week - this may be the best team in the NFL and they were last year as out of the gate as well until Palmer went down.

If our D held Pittsburgh's offense to 12 points...? Problem is.. AS ALWAYS.. How long will the defense be able to keep us in games without getting tired and frustrated that the offense can't do JACK SQUAT..?

I have a feeling we keep it close for a bit, but then they blow it open. But if we take out Palmer AGAIN, look for a new NFL investigation into the Rams and Bountygate 2.0. this defense seems to keep hurting QBs.

We will definitely lose our next 2 games putting us at 1-4. Then we have a shot at beating Cleveland and San Fran, putting us at 3-4. Anything goes after that. With no run game and no help at wr Our offense is pretty easy to predict. And oh yah, I almost forgot our hapless TE's that we got absolutely NO HELP from yesterday. Jared Cook and Lance Kendricks were both pathetic yesterday. The only thing that this team is any good at is getting after the QB.

 

[Jermaine133]

What good is it to be #1 is sacks but lose in every other aspect of the game. This OL is pathetic, TE's pathetic...WR core below avg. Coaching staff below avg. What else did i miss?

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

I am thinking 9 points.

Looks like you're closer, right now it seems to be an 8pt spread, at least what I've seen so far

Well the defense has played well at HOME. The Cardinals will be a challenge for them. Palmer is lights out and Fritz has hit the Fountain of Youth somewhere. The offense is offensive but lets remember something. #1, they are built with a right guard in his 6th season, a 2 year left tackle, and basically rookies at the left guard, center and right tackle. Add the fact that the Rams have had 3 different running backing taking a look at what holes are there and you get an inconsistant outcome. Cook shows and then doesn't. Kendricks is not a major focus. Austin not really being used. Bailey not really in the mix and Foles trying to figure this all out. I think Bailey should never leave the field. I have to blame the coaches at this point. Why not stay with Cunningham until the line jells and Mason and Gurley are completely healthy. This tag team is killing the consistancy they could have and Cunningham can catch out of the backfield. I also want to see Gurley run but we need a guy that can carry the rock 30 times if needed. As long as our punter is the key of the offense, the Rams will struggle. 34-10-6 what is next shut out against the cardinals. Fill free to disagree thats not possible.

The Cardinals are the best team in the division and probably 2nd best in the conference only to the Packers. The Rams will struggle.

Here what I'm getting at Vegas Insider...

Last season they (Arizona) started out 9-1, but this year’s 3-0 start is impressive just because they're averaging 42 points a game. They have won and covered all three of its games easily while sending all three games OVER the total, a combination the public loves to ride, and they were all over it on Sunday as the most one-side bet game of the day.

Next up for Arizona is a home date Sunday against the Rams where the Cardinals are 6 ½-point favorites, and you can believe the books will all be Rams fans next week as bettors will be coming heavily armed with cash from Week 3 winnings to the window to load up again on them.

Noooo... I wasn't saying that at all..

But since you brought it up....

The one thing we've all seen about Jeff Fisher, our best chances have always been in Division.

I think, as a Ram, Fisher has beaten better teams in Division than the Cards with worse Rams rosters and worse Rams coaching...

 

[Scooby-Doo]

The Rams always play tough against divisional opponents. This game scares me very much. Arians will definitely have the team prepared, but there is not much that can be done about your ferocious pass rush. This game will be closer than most of you are saying.

Good luck and for the love of God... Stay the hell away from Palmer... Please!

No promises.

I'm not sure Arizona's play is fully sustainable but you have a well coached team that makes plays on a routine basis playing a poorly coached team that fails to make plays on a routine basis. Math would say that both teams would meet in the middle somewhere but the reality is that its probably going to skew the other way and Arizona will get all of the big plays.

 

[J-Rod]

What Arizona did to San Fran on Sunday was a horror movie. Foles and company will have a hard time. Honestly I only hope for a competitive game.
