Rams by 14 at Yahoo. Not sure where they get their line. WOW. 2-touchdown NFL lines are rare nowadays, usually involving somebody like Cleveland.
Right now the Browns might be a 2 touchdown favorite over us.

In a van...down by the river.
On a serious note, the Rams have really struggled to win games at the LA Coliseum since the move including last years McVay team. Only 3 wins there last season.

Honestly it's probably better you guys are traveling. LA has now won 9 of their last 10 games AWAY from the Coliseum.

What are Cardinals' fans going to say when Robert Nkemdiche has more sacks than Suh and Darnold, combined, after Sunday's game? (Call your bookies).

Let me tell you a story about the 2017 Los Angeles Rams...


All true but that was a case of a team that had talent the year before but was poorly coached, had injuries, and a year later was in a perfect situation to excel and with a good coach did.

The Cards are simply nowhere near as talented as we were last year and at least off 1 game, we're not nearly as well coached.

Jared Goff was considered a potential enormous bust at the beginning of last season. The Rams made a ton of roster moves and rebuild their line and receiving corps on the fly that offseason—three new starters I think—while shuffling their linebacker corps as well.

You’re selling a false narrative. Do the research. They basically rebuilt in one year around Gurley and almost nothing else.

The offense yes, but the defense was already really talented it just finally played up to its talent level because of better coaching IMO.

The offense they apparently added 2 starters on the OL, got Gurley healthy, and added Wr's (Kupp, Woods etc).

Obviously the improvement of Goff was huge he was terrible as a rookie, he had one of the more incredible one year turnarounds in recent history. 5 td' to 7 int as a rookie, 28 to 7 in year 2, passer rating from 63 to 100.

So yeah they did a tremendous job rebuilding the offense but they already had the 2 key pieces, Gurley and Goff, they just got both of them coming into their own in the same year. Which I would agree is largely due to the players they put around them on the OL and WR.

The Rams always had talent they were just terribly coached. We at least in 1 game are neither well coached, or talented.

One person's "slaughter" is another person's "squeaker."

Just wanted to note that, despite our sucking, the final score of the Wash debacle was only something like 24 - 6 and that the Raider - Ram score was still 13 - 13 late into the 3Q.

Yes...and the the rams simply wore the raiders as out to win by double digits on the road.

We'll be better this week, and the Rammms will be worse than last week. No worries.
