I agree ALR. McVego had a very nice mix of runs and passes and he looked like he took a page from the Seattle-Cards game but the adage still stands: Play great D and run the ball more than you pass and you WILL WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS!!

Akers does indeed look bigger.

 

[Retroram52]

Two minutes. We need a first down or a FG to seal it!

 

[Retroram52]

O.K. kick the FG to bury it!

Game ball to Defense and OBJ

Stafford finally gets a playoff W.

Let’s see if he can make it 2.

 

[Retroram52]

Rams win it and they used mainly the run to open-up the pass. We had a 113 yards on the ground with Akers, who was 17 carries for 55 yards and Michel who was 13 carries for 58 yards. Stafford chipped-in 6 carries for 22 yards. Funk had a few yards. Stafford also went 13-17 for 202 yards and 2 TDs. And that is how you win post-season football games!! Onward we go to Tampa and another tough test!

BTW. Stafford finally has exorcised that huge Gorilla that has been on his back since his Detroit days that he can't win post-season games. Good for him and now we need to follow-up this big win with another one.

BTW again, I deserve a huge plate of crow for telling Vita that we would get our asses handed to us. I was wrong and McVego won. Serve it up Vita. I'll add the Tabasco!! LOL!!

Kudos to the fans too at the game. They made it loud and it wasn’t mostly away team fans

 

[Battlelyon]

Now, that's Rams football.

I'm Glad the next victim up is the Bucs. Bucs at home only 2.5 favorites. RAMS play well against Tampon Bay. They're missing AB and Godwin. That is huge. I like the RAMS chances.

Jvett!! WHAT UP DUDE!!

Hey, Retro, looks like the Rams have it all together. This could be the year? But wait, they must get past Brady next week. Buccaneers -3 early odds from draft kings. Rams can get payback for SBLIII loss. I may have to take the points here. So far. Dallas is my only playoff loss.

 

[Chilipepper]

AKERS is starting to look comfortable in the offense. Last week was a bit of a adjustment.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea maybe this is, jvett. But I am quite sure you are starting to chomp at the bit a little bit in anticipation to see what the Dildoes will do this year. Just kidding!

 

[Retroram52]

Whitworth and Long Jr sustained knee-injuries with this game. Both are questionable right now.

Andrew Whitworth, David Long Jr. questionable to return with knee injuries

Andrew Whitworth and David Long Jr. both suffered knee injuries against the Cardinals and are questionable to return

Totally different offense with Akers in there!!! It's been so long I almost forgot what a weapon he is!!!

Rams need to find a way to keep Michel.

Not only did they invest draft picks to get him, but he and Akers would be a deadly 1-2 punch since Henderson can’t stay healthy.
