Lucky drafting?!

Had Hopkins open if he slides left,resets and delivers. Still love seeing this reaction, lol.

Great win today, with positive progress in a lot of areas. Don’t want to jump to far ahead but our run defense and pass rush still has me concerned. Would like to see a stretch of games where we show we can be somewhat adequate in these two areas.

 

[Red on White]

Still can't quite believe what I saw today. Just a complete display.

Dropped the first catch of the game but that was it. No fumbles, no interceptions. Managed the clock expertly. Kept Kupp, Woods and Higbee under wraps despite suffering some injuries.

How many times did Andy Lee need to punt? Two or three for the whole game? We scored on every other drive often taking multiple minutes off the clock.

Incredible

The pessimist in me though has got me wondering about a couple of things.

Was the game bigger for us than the Rams? Our nemesis, our true test. Us with something to prove. Were we up for it whereas for them it was just a game? Did we just play our Superbowl?

Did McVay keep some of his powder dry for later in the season? Didn't have Ramsey on Hopkins at stages. Chose not to run Henderson near the end zone. Didn’t have Stafford rolling out bootlegs which has killed us in the past.

Maybe I'm jumping at shadows

No, it is obvious you have figured out what the rest of the NFL can't. Genius.

Yeah, it was. Really awesome to recognize them waiving the white flag.

And their super smug fans who talked so much smack like really sad.

I read what their fans on Rams on demand were saying and they were all completely unobjective. Glad to see smarmy fans get what they are due.

The Rams highlighted some areas the Cardinals need to get buttoned up and barely missed on a couple plays that might have changed the flow of the game. Both teams know when they will look to do vs the other team the next time they meet. Still early and teams grow over a season. Cardinals need to keep this level of aggression and physicality week to week.

I felt they were going to punch us in the face early and if we didn’t answer we were going to get smoked.
We answered their opening drive fg.
We answered their touchdown and it sent the message we were here to play.
When the Rams realized they were in a dogfight it was too late.

Pretty sure Jared Goff was wearing a Matt Stafford face mask yesterday
