Maybe the Crow was Just an Appetizer not an Entre

Well I ate my fair share of AP crow last week. It now appears the real change was the result of Tampa ineptitude. The Rams have no great run defense, yet the Cards can’t run. The line is equally poor even with the changes. No RB could succeed behind this line. Simply adding AP does not make this a playoff team.

Peterson shot his wad last week. We're seeing the "real" 2017 edition of AD now. Nobody should have eaten crow after one good half of football. I predicted he'd last 2 games before getting cut. I've now pushed that back to 3.

Disappointed to see that my concerns about the run games performance in the second half last week was a legitimate concern.

Sorry but the Rams D is legit period! The Cards have not showed up today and Arians is abandoning the run anyway not fair to judge AP when Arians has gone full stupid again!

And our play calling has been awful. There's zero AP can do about what's happening out there.

Not judging AP other than to say he’s not likely to be a major difference maker considering the line. In the long run the Tampa game was just a fluke.

Not playing the Rams every week I’ll wait and see on AP. This Rams D is super tuff better than others we will be playing imo!

Rams defense came in giving up 139.5 yards rushing per game...not sure why that makes you say that they are tough against the run when it is 29th in the NFL.

They weren’t fully healthy, the defense you saw today is not giving up those numbers.

they gave up 170 yards... LAST WEEK.

It still counts but they got 75 of those yards on the first play of the game. After that not much.

With CP out I would love to know why AP only got about 3 to 5 touches the rest of the game?

Well BA regressed in his pass addiction but the Rams shut his big mouth down this game. Fact is our defense stunk up all of London. But it was hard to smell over the stench of our offense. Lucky it wasn’t 100 to 0

Oh AP -some games are like that through 11 carries - especially run stop built defenses like the Rams - but you got to preserver like a grown ass playcaller to overcome that.

We did have our back up QB in the whole second half what the hell should we do run it? It's not like backs ever get better with more carries! Hell 11 might have been to much for the game. :sarcasm:

Because the o-line, which played beyond their capabilities for 2 quarters last week, reverted to form ?

Last week CJ2K would have had that yardage with those holes (holes that were totally non-existent, until those 2 quarters). And Cj2K would have done the same nothing Peterson did after the line got back to being who they really are and have been coached to be. What ? You thought AP was GOD ? Only Warner is GOD, AP is just a good running back.,
