DK out vs. Rams

[AROS]

Speaking as a fan that is admittedly going to go out to lunch and wine and dine with my girl during the game (and occasionally checking the score on my phone to see if it's worth watching when we get home), I don't get caught up into this whole "Rams Are Unbeatable!!!" hyperbole. Yes, they have Kupp and Puka (with a tender knee), and the resilient Old Man Rivers Stafford. Their young DL is looking decent. And yes, they just may still beat us, but I hate when we suddenly start acting like a 3-4 team is magically an unbeatable team.

Yes I predict a loss, but the overreactions to a imperfect Rams team is a bit much.

If the Seahawks can put together even their B game on all three phases, they can beat the Rams.

Defeatist schlop!

Believe what you will, DK is a key piece to the O, but next man up.

For Coach Mac this game is a critical test, so we’ll see. However, I’m not buying that woe is us nonsense.

Youll have to remind me, who ended up being "next man up" when DK was out last week? Who stood in and replaced LW, Murphy, and Mafe?

So tired of the cliches. They don't offer solutions and players just tune them out like they did when Russ was always spouting them off. The only thing more embarrassing than hearing them from the players is when the fans do it.

I agree with you Aros for the most part, but the Rams did just get healthy. They are better than their record.

You can veritably have the Father, Son and Holy Ghost in ball-carrying positions (I refuse to use that IMHO stupid "skill positions" term), but without a decent OL, their performance is going to often be heavily handicapped.

Sorry, the father and son are both Omni potent and Omni scient. They can run the ball 10 yards per carry every time, that's the potent. If that's not enough, omni present too, always next to the other team's play callers, listening in. Even if the football God tried to be naughty, the Omni ones outrank that football God.

Winning our first game after the bye week has been something of a rarity for the Hawks. The way our schedule shook out this year was pretty much a bummer, especially considering the spate of injuries we have been forced to absorb.
I can't recall us ever shutting Stafford down.

Trying to stay healthy for a trade, why risk it when this season is trending in the wrong direction?

My first thought when I heard DK being out.

 

[FrodosFinger]

Better to rest him one more game or trade him for a fortune. We stink defensively against the run and really haven’t been healthy with Nwosu out and several other key defenders. Offensively they haven’t been successful running the ball lately and not at full strength and haven’t been for a month now. Still in the mix with a rookie head coach though. Need to fix a lot but there’s 9 games left to turn it around and catch a winning streak

I think maybe we do better than against the Bills, but it's still gonna be bad.

 

[FrodosFinger]

Kupp always balls his nutts off up here and Geno turns it over a lot at home. Need to maybe go with Howell for the rest of the year if Smith turns in another stinker

Don’t start that agin

With the return of Fant, George not Noah. Our OL will nominate Ram's front 7. K9 and his buds will have boulevards to run on.

 

[FrodosFinger]

No Fant or DK they need to pound the rock and Bobo and Shenault need to carry their weight in DK’s absence. They can beat the Rams but need better run D especially against a guy like Kyren Williams. Need to put Stafford on his backside all game long and force turnovers. Puka is good but Kupp is massively better.
