Helluva performance by the Rams tonight. And with so many important players missing, no less...this win very well could be that "turn the corner" moment that this team needs to kick it into overdrive and kick ass through the end of the regular season, and into the postseason.

Oh, and Cooper Kupp is a baaaad mothafucka

Huuuuuuuuuuuge win,

The more I listen to OBJ the more I like him. He is a stand up guy and likes to win.

AD was a monster last night. Started and ended the game with a sack ( has that ever been done before? ).

And it was nice to see the refs FINALLY calling holding penalties for Donald. He gets held on almost every play, and you almost never hear a holding call against him. It was nice to see that finally happen and hopefully it continues.

This guy is Deacon Jones 2.0 and no fault to Deacon, boatloads richer!! The big money didn't go to his head like sooooo many predecessors who signed the big money of their time and then became complete turds. In fact, it motivated him to work his tail-off even more. No turning into a narcissist or thinking he is some sort of god. Not this guy. He is Jack Youngblood, Merlin Olsen, Deacon Jones (not any particular order) all wrapped in one player!!

The refs did miss a huge facemask on Stafford when we were 8 yards out that took away another TD. We had to settle for a FG. I was sort of surprised that OSFB didn't throw the review flag because the infraction was blatant and McVay was standing on the field yelling to the refs!!

GREAT WIN last night.... Rams showed up. Awesome!

 

[Retroram52]

Here is another one of the many reasons we beat the best team in the NFL last night. Besides AD, Miller, Floyd, E. Jones, and others, our run D shut-down the 12th rank rushing team in the league. I love it. DSFB must heard the same podcast as OSFB. Take a look.

Run defense comes up big in Rams' win over Cardinals on MNF

The Rams’ run defense accepted the challenge of slowing down the Cardinals’ rushing attack, and they succeeded in a big way.

Great game. Gaines really stood out. Riddle me this, why is a 3rd sting LB on the hands team for an OS kick? Right in the middle.

 

[Rambunctious]

Stafford was on last night. He and the entire offense was ready for this game. Short week but I think the Rams will be ready for Seattle.

 

[Retroram52]

AD loves playing against Russell Wilson sort of the same way he likes playing against Kyler Murray. I am willing to bet that AD will have another big game against Wilson even with the short week. And Miller is starting to feed off of AD and so is Gaines and Floyd. E. Jones is on his own planet and it is def a badass one!!

I couldn't believe they missed that face mask call since this league is forever protecting their Quarterbacks.

And I get what you are saying here RR, but I know too damned well you know McVay can't throw the Challenge flag on even the most blatant of missed calls otherwise he would have!

Still I am with you 100%, they make the right call there and it's likely another 4 points towards the Rams' total score. I would have liked to see Sony get a rushing TD there, that would have been great!

Yea me too Vita!!

Humor for you old facts like myself and @Retroram52

Its time to put a ref in the box upstairs in front of a replay screen.

Good point, I was wondering the same thing????

 

[Smed55]

The Rams obviously need to contain Murray!

While the Dline has been getting pressure on QBs, between Donald, Miller, and Floyd we need to start actually piling up some sacks!!!!!!!!

As Vita stated, turnovers will be key, hopefully the only turnovers will be a lot of Defensive turnovers!!!!!

Well we didn't exactly contain Murray, but overall did good job on him.

At least the sacks came, along with winning the turnovers!!

Now need the same game plan against Wilson and Seattle. need to get our starting DB's this week, Orr was horrible, but he was playing his first game ever, and against some stud WR's???
