Game Thread: Week 12, Los Angeles Rams @ Phoenix Cardinals, 12/04/17, 1:25 pm, PST, FOX

[Vitamike]

For me, I haven't been to a live pro sports game since the death of my brother 4 years hence. Plus, Vita and I and his friend have not connected on this basis for 4 years as well. I know without a shadow of doubt that this week-end is going to be a great time with great company and hopefully a Rams ass whoopin' on the Cards!

Wow, has it really been 4 years?

 

[Rambunctious]

Well you guys going to the game have a great time.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, Vita. It has been four years. Time flies no matter what happens.

Even though he was cut, looks like Justin Davis has returned and will be active for this week's contest. Apparently the Rams are not rushing Malcolm Brown's return and Davis is filling in getting much needed game experience.

Might be a stat padding game, isn't Blaine Gabbert running the offense?

For the time being. Rams have a history with Cards QBs.....

Good, I like to see what Davis can do.

Wife is going Christmas shopping on Sunday while the Cardinals/Rams game is on and there is my favorite sports store in the town she is going to, so I purposely put all of my most faded torn stretched out Rams jerseys and sweatshirts in the top of the laundry bin.
Later I saw her holding the worst one up looking at it shaking her head. I think my plan may be working.

SET-UP!!!

Injury report is relatively mild. With young studs like Ebukam and Price coming along nicely, Barwin may be entering that window of time which is the beginning of signaling the end of his career. If a player is getting up there and has little else than injuries, usually teams begin that process of letting the player know, it's time to hang 'em up. Barwin could easily become a coach for Phillips as an alternative as this is still a young man's sport!

Malcolm Brown, Lance Dunbar questionable for Sunday vs. Cardinals

Looks like AP is inactive today for the Cards, which will be one less thing the defense will have to worry about.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Don't know how much of this one I'll get to see since the only way I'll be able to watch any of it is through RedZone.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Glad to see Gabbert thought that Joyner was on his team and nice return off the INT.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Yeah baby!!! Hell of a start!!! But misses the PAT? Jeez

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Nice decision making by Goff hitting Kupp and Everett for the eventual touchdown.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

A little side rant, since I'm watching RedZone they're talking about the Eli stuff. Who in their right mind thinks that Geno Smith gives you a better shot at winning than Eli Manning? Ben McAddo I think is trying to get canned with that decision.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Nice D!!! Punt time for them!!!

As a New Yorker, it's a joke... Eli deserved the right to finish out the season as the starter....

Absolutely. He's earned the right to do that. Unless he was banged up (which he isn't) and needed rest, he should've gotten the start. If it were me, I would've left Geno as the 3rd stringer.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Looked like Austin was afraid of taking the hit there, not that it was the best thrown ball either.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

That ball wasn't thrown nearly as high as it should've been.
