    Reckon both teams will run the ball a lot, Seahawks O-line is better at run blocking than pass protection but still not good. How have Orakpo, Morgan and Casey being playing? Our O-line made Mike Daniels look like Von Miller in first game

    Morgan has had a couple of sacks, Orakpo has caused a couple of fumbles, Casey gets double team a lot so he's been quiet so far. If they can corral Wilson inside the pocket Casey will show up at some point.

    Would expect a large dose of Derrick Henry on Sunday

    Could the Rams be a challenger in our division this season? Seem to score a lot this year. They play the Cowboys week 4 before we go there in week 5.

    Just watched the highlights of their games at night, Todd Gurley is back in his groove anyway

    Last nights result kind of eases Sundays result in my book.

    Titans in Tennessee is a real test though, thank god for the easy division and easy schedule this year!

    Unfortunately when the offense gets better the defence gives up 33.

    1-2 start, very up and down performances.

    Need to smash the Colts this Sunday night.

    Oline can't take all the blame for last night, they actually held up as well as could have been expected in pass protection. Run blocking was poor though. Defense got taken to the cleaners in 2nd half.
    Despite the lack of rushing yards I still think Carson looks like he can be the no1 RB, and Baldwin is still a class act. Just not clicking as a team at the moment


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭TheDoctor


    So the Rams look a threat this season in the division. Get to see them up close next Sunday.

    Hopefully see some improvements tonight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭TheDoctor


    3rd quarter performance probably best we've played this season.

    First half was same as previous weeks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭TheDoctor


    Carson with a broken leg/ankle by the looks of those replays.

    Very like Lockett last year - leg trapped under another player.

    Our RB injuries keep coming

    Trying not to get carried seeing as it was the Colts D, but McKissic had a good few runs in the 2nd half. Can't wait to see more of him

    FFS. Looking forward to watching the highlights tonight for once but I won't be getting carried away yet either.

    Not sure what happened at half time but Wilsons suddenly had much more time and started spraying the ball around. Passes that were missing players in previous weeks stuck. Scored 4 TDs on offence and 2 on defence.

    Game change when Wilson ran in the TD himself from around the 25.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭TheDoctor


    Heart attack but I'll take it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Yep, more complicated than it needed to be, but a win against a decent team. There were even a couple of plays in the second quarter where Russell had time to think although mostly he was running for his life again


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭TheDoctor


    Definitely a win I wasn't predicting - considering how the Rams were scoring for fun and had just gone to Dallas and won.

    Our d was immense though - 5 turnovers and only giving up 10 points. Rams didn't score after about mid way through the second.

    O had a good spell before half time but didn't do much in the second and had good field position on a few occasions.

    Leading the NFC West on a tie breaker over the Rams and on our bye week now.

    Obligatory mention that I will be in Metlife to see us @ Giants in 13 days going 4-2 for the season!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,974 ✭✭✭Paleface


    Does anyone know what is going on with Rawls?

    Seems a shadow of the player he can be when injury free. If they have to rely on himself and Lacy for the rest of the season its a huge worry.

    The only positive is McKissic who looked great against the Colts and lively again at times against the Rams.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭TheDoctor


    Has to be just rust I would imagine, has had so few game reps the last year or so.

    Recall Baldwin in an interview saying that they call him "super cuts" in the locker room.

    Haven't seen any of those so far this year.

    If that game had been closer to Christmas I could have convinced the missus to go over. Its Munich now instead!

    I agree on Rawls. We really need him to step up.

    Hopefully they are just easing Rawls back into it. When fit he has been excellent, just need to stay healthy

    Bet TheDoctor is tearing his hair out in New Jersey right now.

    This is exciting!

    Penalties, dropped catches and the all important fumble.

    Great to see in the flesh.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    It'll all work out. Do whatever you did last year to guarantee the win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭TheDoctor


    Blocked punt was good!

    On a side note, I hate these grey uniforms. Its like the white one was washed with something that ran in the wash


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,974 ✭✭✭Paleface

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,983 ✭✭✭TheDoctor
