Well, so far the self proclaimed unstoppable dream team got stopped on thei first possession and when they punted the ball away, it took Stephen Jackson all of 1 play to go 50 yards to the house. I know the Rams are a division rival but nothing would make me happier to go along with a Cardinal win would be to see the Eagles taken down a peg on opening day.

I know it's not the Eagles/Rams game but wasn't it great seeing Q burn McFadden. :)

I guess holding is now legal in this league. On the Eagles' score, one of the Rams D-Linemen was flat out tackled by an Eagles blocker with no call. Worse yet, the hold allowed McCoy to score.

Jackson now out of the game on what the Rams are calling a strained quad. He's on the bike on the sidelines.

Wow, huge mistake by Bradford. Should have just gone down and ate the ball but he tried to get up and fumbled the ball for an Eagle TD.

Wow. Officiating has been terrible this game. Eagles are getting away with all kind of holding and on a Vick run, there was a clear chop block that went uncalled.

To reiterate, the Eagles had a delay of game and the officials almost forgot to walk off the 5 yards.

And another Ram D-Lineman tackled in front of Vick with no call.

And the NFL doesnt play favortism? ;)

The Iggles are the new Stealers & the league wants them to be good

Rams may be our biggest division rival this year. I hope the Eagles blow them out. Officiating bad both ways. Ridiculous illegal contact call against the Eagles.

I never root for a team in our division.

I'm beginning to wonder because even though I know you can call holding on every play, there have been instances of such blatant holding that allowed a play to shake out positively for the Eagles. And grabbing the jersey a little with your arms in is one thing but to straight up bulldog a player to the ground right in front of the QB is quite another.

I've never had a doubt.

The day the Cowboys tackled Rob Moore in the endzone on a fade to tie the game on a miraculous rally by the Snake on the last play of the game convinced me more than ever. Worst PI non call EVER!!! We did get revenge though :D

Agree 1000% I could care less how cocky the Eagles are. For the Cardinals to succeed we need all the help we can get. Impossible to root for a division rival especially the main competition to win a game they have to lose. We can't have the Rams beating teams they shouldn't. We can knock the Eagles down a peg in the NFC Championship game.

Bradford is still very undisciplined. He just had a receiver wide open in the endzone and he threw to the flat and was nearly picked off.

Cards take the West. Rams have no playmakers aside from Steven Jackson.

In a van...down by the river.
Left game due to injury:
Steven Jackson(quad)
Jason Smith
Danny Amendola(dislocated elbow)
Ron Bartell(stinger)
Bradford(thumb)
Mikell

Not too worried about getting blown out by Philadelphia but obviously these injuries(all starters) are brutal going forward. SJ will likely miss games,Amendola at least 6-8 weeks. If Bradford's injury is serious we're done...and we'll be picking 1st in the 2012 draft.

Brutal day.

Good luck today Cards fans...injuries can turn a season in a flash.
