Wk 2 LA Rams @ Arizona Cardinals Pre Game thread. 09/08/24-09/14/24

I do feel like the Rams have a lot of injuries that could help us out. But it's not going to be easy at all.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

With the number of injuries the Rams had, I get it, but I don't believe we have the defensive line to take advantage of them.

This

Who would be able to apply pressure?

Nobody on the Dline stood out

 

[vince56]

I think we win, not sure what gives me confidence but I think it happens.

0-2 and then to take on the Lions would be a disasterous start to the season. I think we match up better against the Rams than the Lions, but time will tell.

You must be registered for see images attach

I’m very tempted to start sports betting again…

call me crazy but i have a feeling the cardinals can and will beat both the Rams and Lions the next 2 weeks

 

[Card'em]

You're CRAZY!!

Rams will be without WR Puka Nacua and OL Steve Avila this weekend when they visit Cardinals

 

[Ronin]

Rams' Puka Nacua has knee injury, headed to IR

Puka Nacua suffered a knee injury Sunday that will put him on the injured reserve with the Arizona Cardinals up next for the Los Angeles Rams.

This was an interesting nugget at the end of the story:

The Cardinals, meanwhile, came out of their season-opening loss to the Buffalo Bills relatively cleanly, though a knee injury to starting right tackle Jonah Williams could linger into the next week.

I should do that too, but I have a rule to never bet against my team.

I’m the opposite, I feel like it’s a win one way or the other

Okay crazy.

Kyren Williams is going to eat this D-line for lunch. And I shudder to think what Cupp will do to our Corners if Stafford is healthy.

He might not. Their OL is like practice squad players right now. Even though the Bills had some good runs, the counting stats show they didn't exactly run roughshod.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I think this game is a toss up. There’s no Donald to account for and the OL, sans Beachum, looked pretty good.

Weather won’t be a factor and hopefully Petzing calls a better game after the defense makes adjustments.

Plus I don't believe that Rams fans travel well so maybe the Cardinals will have a home field advantage next week.

 

[Chopper0080]

I will double down and hit it again at +1.5 on FD

Rams are in trouble with Weaver comin back….

 

[gimpy]

oh damn - just looked and this game falls on my birthday - i usually have pretty good birthdays but idk if they're beat mcvay good

That is good luck coming our way. By the way, happy birthday.

 

[Hoodhero]

I can't even count Ram's oline been decimated an advantage with current state of D smh

 

[DVontel]

We will get no pressure against a banged up Rams OLine & Tyler Johnson will have a career day.

Ha yeah they will, I can remember a game two years ago, it was legit like 99% Cards fans.

 

[Cheesebeef]

Rams +1 just feels like stealing.

 

[JosiahLee]

Basically a do-or-die game for both teams. 0-2 teams still only make the post season about 11% of the time. If I’m a betting man, I’m not betting against the HC who in 7 seasons as a HC has only had a losing season once!

Oh and let’s not forget to mention Sean McVay has NEVER lost to the Cardinals at State Farm Stadium. He’s a perfect 7-0.

You cannot in good faith say we win this game, you just can’t. Could in happen, sure. Is it likely? The answer is emphatically no.

The only thing that gives me pause is we’re due for a repeat of the 1996 season. That year we came out of the gates super strong, taking a 21-3 lead on the road at Cincy that inevitably lead to a heartbreaking opening season loss… only for our next game to be at home against the Cowboys who’d beaten us something like 18 straight times. That was a SURE loss coming and looked like it even more when we went down 22-7. Somehow we came back to win 25-22 when Kevin Butler doinked in a FG… from the 3 yard-line in OT.

So maybe blowing the 17-3 lead last week and then playing the team that’s owned us for a decade has a repeat performance and we pull the shocking upset?

I don’t know. That’s all I got.
