They aren't as bad as the experts tagged them to be, but they aren't as good as everyone hoped after beating the Seahawks. I'm guessing they will be hovering around the .500 mark most of the season. |

IMO what spurred the offensive surprise was the OL allowing Stafford time to throw... that allowed the run to be viable. When Jackson then Noteboom went down... it all fell apart. The reason the Rams sucked after the last 2 superbowl appearances was due to not being able to field decent OLs... hopefully they can patch it up again. |

I called the L as soon as we went into halftime 6-6.
NO run game and McVay has been known to be a stubborn MFer and continue to try to fit the round peg into the square hole time and again.
Worst run defense in the league and we did nothing but pass all game.... McVay was gonna die on that hill last night and he took the team with him....he should be ashamed.

Stafford is on target today. Puka Nacua is a pleasant surprise. If SuperKupp returns as expected in week 5 the Rams are going to be a tough out

Good start. Appreciate EJ Speed saving that drive for us.

He's got so much time.
Watching Kyren makes me wonder why we ran the ball so few times against Cincy.

Sean McVay, like many coaches in today's NFL, is about passing. That's why running backs are not the premium they were in the past. I can't wait to see what the Rams passing game will look like when Kupp comes back.

| The Rams aren't that good. Just think how bad the Colts are to be dominated at home. |

Let's get a score and sit Staff for the rest of the game.

Puka Nacua, a 5th round pick is keeping the Rams in it.

Yup. Can't wait for SuperKupp to return. He's scheduled to come back in week 5. That's next week.

Have to give Matt his props. He was on point today. I'm of the school he's overrated.

| That TD in OT was Stafford's first TD pass of the year, which is kind of incredible. Had to have that game. |

Wow this is a crazy.

This is gonna be weird once Kupp is full strength, because Puka plays like Kupp to me. So it's like Kupp and Kupp2.0. Both deadly. Secondaries won't know what to do. And I like it!
Bye.

| Definitely want to see what Rams offense can do with Kupp back and Stafford with some target options. |
