I’m waiting for the “I have a good feeling about this week for no reason but I just do I feel like we’re gonna pull it out” posts that inevitably come lol…..

I have a good feeling about this week. I do just feel like we will pull this one off for change. We might just have turned that corner & the light has finally come on. Praise (insert name of choice here)!

 

[Zalixar]

I think we lose by two digits, less than 20.

 

[PJ1]

It will be an arse kicking for sure.

 

[Red on White]

first game of the season I'm betting against us.

Do you have any money left?!

Cards 36
Rams 24

Couldn’t have used a Justin Houston on the edge for this woeful pass rush. the Ravens were idiots to grab that guy!

I mean, after all, people said repeatedly there was no one the Cards could have brought in at OLB this off-season… despite the plethora of options, both pricey and cheap that hit the market.

Cards 36

This feels like a 17-14 kind of game to me.

 

[cardcrazy]

Cody Ford, Lecitus Smith, & Billy Price against Aaron Donald this Sunday.


lol

It’ll take all 3 to block him

Kliffs gonna ride this ship all the way down!

 

[cardcrazy]

The Rams only need 3 people to beat us.
Stafford
Kupp
Donald

It's a bit of a running joke for me...I've been predicting that score for every game...

 

[slanidrac16]

Who gives a ****?

I do. I want to see tgem get embarrassed again. It’s the only way there is even a slightest chance of change.

 

[BritCard]

Or, if we are “lucky”, Max Garcia instead of Smith. Rams also having iOL issues. Too bad Leki Fotu is just one small step behind Donald in terms of talent.

Smith is the least of the problems. I thought he played the best of the 3 on Sunday.

If it's me I'm playing Garcia at C (if back), Josh Jones at RG and Smith at LG and benching Price and Ford. They have both been terrible and Donald will eat them up. Jones and Garcia have experience playing the Rams and while neither have been great they have never been as bad as Ford and Price.

Wasn't a single person here shouting we should sign 33 year old Justin Houston.

Do you mean least?

I thought Smith looked decent this game?

Yes sorry changed. Yeah Smith looked solid.

Which makes you wonder what Kugler is seeing to make him play an obviously garbage Ford at LG over him. Or why Kliff let him.

Heck I'd start Smith at C over Price and he's only ever done that in preseason and practice.

Cody Ford, Lecitus Smith, & Billy Price against Aaron Donald this Sunday.

But there are some on this board that want to roll will Lecitus Smith next season lol

JFC, what a horrible trade. Keim's trade chops are absolutely gone. Plus, why TF beg the guy to come back? Admit you're wrong, let the dude retire, and move on.

We still haven't heard a single mea culpa for that. Only Darksiders have to apologize when they're wrong on this board.

But there were a number of people--yourself included--saying there wasn't anyone else to sign and tooting the "the pass rush will be fine" horn. Why is it silent all of a sudden?

What would you like an apology for?

We had 2 sacks on Sunday. 3 vs the Vikings. 0 vs the Saints but they are one of the least sacked teams in the league. 5 sacks vs the Seahawks. 2 sacks vs the Eagles. 2 vs Panthers.

The first 2-3 games were bad. It's been getting better since.

Saints are the 16th ranked team with 2.4 sacks per game. Through the last 6 we have 2.33 sacks per game. It's been average and getting better.

Nobody else good. Nobody, including you, thought 33 year old Justin Houston was a good option.

The one player we should have signed, and I said so when he was released, was Za'Darius Smith.

I guess Smith is happy he chose the Vikings right now.

The fact that you can't admit we're garbage with the pass rush is pathological. The lack of consistent pressure on opposing QBs has hurt this team immeasurably, especially with our soft defensive scheme. But, carry on thinking we're just fine in this arena.
