Wk 14-LA Rams @ Arizona Cardinals Pre Game Thread. 12/6/21-12/12/21

[DVontel]

As usual..... It's a home game and I'm nervous. The Rams have the higher "desperation quotient" IMO and can combine that with getting blasted at home. Both teams know that if the Cards win, the division race is over, so I expect a big playoff atmosphere. Something we definitely need to feel.

I really hope we walk on the field with a mean streak though. These guys can be punched in the mouth.

Personally, everyone who says that they hope Stafford chokes is going to get disappointed IMO. He is a bit better than all of those Lions games he played.

And I really hope our pass rush is better than the one we had in Chicago.

Based off of what?

They gotta prove they can handle big games at home with all eyes on them. We’ve done a great job killing people, continually flying under the radar. We’ve only had ONE prime time game and we came out flat.

This is the game to show everyone is the Cards are who we think they are!

We’re they flat or we’re they nervous? We came in undefeated, national TV, against the media darling Packers. Just hoping we learned from that game & we’re ready to play right out of the gate.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Reference Stafford:

Is he though? He has already shown to be the “Lion like QB in several games this year” Even the talent level and coaching of the Rams couldn’t stop it from coming out of him. He was pretty lionesque for the 3 games prior to the lowly Jags coming to town to help make him feel whole again.

I agree slightly. The dude has looked poor in a few games recently. Will we cause the same havoc in the backfield? I hope so.

Our guys still have to prove they can play consistently at home, stop the run consistently, and keep our pass rush aggressive for an entire game.

Just hoping Murray wears the yellow cleats like he did against the Bills last year.

Ahhh..... Missed that. Thank you.

I think the Lions were a dumpster fire in most cases and his previous games may not have all rested on his shoulders. And the Rams have been trying to find themselves this year. First, integrating Stafford. Then losing Woods and replacing him with OBJ. And now introducing more 12 personnel sets over the past game or two.

I think 12 personnel may favor Stafford a bit more than the 11 personnel sets and slinging it all over the field. ESPECIALLY, if we have problems (again) stopping the run.

Has Lawrence been activated yet or is he still out?

Oh interesting...

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Has Lawrence been activated yet or is he still out?

Yes he's been activated, and he's in the video Ronin just posted of D-lineman practicing (#90). Good news.

Cards are 2-1 when I've been able to see them at the new stadium.

Matt Leinarts first start against Chiefs.
Playoff game against Falcons.
BAs first game against Colts.


I'd like to see them be 3-1 after Monday night. I truly think the only way Cardinals lose, is if they make mistakes like they did against Packers.

Everyone thought he was the QBOTF after the first quarter:

I am. I think Rams will come out with a vengeance here.

You and Britcard are darksiders in sheep’s clothing.

 

[QuebecCard]

Hell, your basic garden variety hate will motivate anyone. Sometimes all you need is a club. Doesn't matter what your opponent has.

Tell that to the Celtics who took on Caesar's Legions.

 

[slanidrac16]

Umm, I'm guessing you haven't personally played or coached a whole lot of sports because this statement of yours is patently false.

Wrong. I’ve coach sports. You can have all the vengeance and urgency in the world and it won’t help you to victory if you fail to execute at a high level.
You don’t win just because you’re pissed off. It may raise your adrenaline or effort but it does not mean an automatic victory.
I won’t bemoan this. My whole point is when I hear, “ Oh the Rams are going to be motivate” or “ The Rams need this more than us so this is going to be a tough game to win”. Bull crap.

We are motivated too! We can clinch a playoff spot. We can virtually win the division that nobody thought we’d be able to do including me. We can slay the naysayers. How’s that for motivation? But all that does not win the game if we turn the ball over 5 times or miss a game winning fg in the last 3 seconds.

I refuse to believe the Rams have any more incentives to win this game than us. The team that executes the best will win, no matter how badly one team or the other needs it.

 

[slanidrac16]

His point, I believe - is that 'vengeance, revenge, need, desperation' is irrelevant without planning and execution, which is patently true.

Thank you!

Henderson was the one that was killing us before they were forced to pass last matchup.
