Rams vs Cardinals

[Threedee]

Been saying it all year, Cards were extremely overrated. Average team with a QB who clearly isn't clutch at all.
He looked scared, unprepared and intimidated. And his body language is a joke. He goes in to pout mode and just sits there by himself. Doesn't take any time to fire up his teammates. You're the damn QB, you're supposed to lead. Yet again, he just looks lost.
Not to take away from the Rams' performance, they flat out dominated in every way.
Go Niners, Go Rams???? Hell no. How could any Hawks fan hope for that? ukeface: ukeface: ukeface:

Agreed. I am remembering our first game against Arizona, when Murray committed grounding while backpedaling all the way to about the two yard line. It was pretty hilarious.

Rams were better, but also why you really don't want to play a division opponent, if you have in chinks in your armor they are already known most likely and will be exploited. We know the Murray answer to the Puzzle as well and have sued it with much success against them.

Admittedly Arizona dug it's own grave, but the refs helped them along, it appeared to me.

The non-taunting call near the Rams goal line, the reverse non touchdown by the Rams to give them the goal, and the reversed catch by a Cards receiver which killed any momentum Arizona had gathered.

Other more knowledgeable people may have agreed with the ruled 'non-catch' but it looked to me that he was down and the play was dead when the ball popped out.

I like any of the four teams on the AFC side but would like to see the Bengals, Titans, or Bills advance. Love the Chiefs but they've had their moment and I like seeing beleaguering fan bases have the fun that we had.

For the NFC, I like the 49'rs before the Rams. Aaron Rodgers would be the last person I'd root for.

We'll see what transpires...

It's easy, I don't hate teams just because they are in the division. Personally and I have never been shy about it. I am a hawks and rams fan. Have been for years and years. To be fair the hawks was my AFC team and the Rams my NFC team and then the NFL not only put the seahawks in the NFC but in the same division as the rams.

For the AFC I would like to see the Bengals or Bills go and if a AFC wins then I hope it is one of those two.

IMO Russell and Kyler Murray are quite similar in how teams need to defend them to take away their strengths. On D, the Rams have the horses and the schemes to frustrate both these mobile QBs. Plus Rams see both QBs twice a year.

I suspect Murray has a similar issue decoding some flavor of defense, like the issues Russell has with cover-2. Tical, Keasley, what do you see? Assuming he does, the Rams braintrust has picked it apart on film and is executing brilliantly with their abundant talent on D.

I was hoping for better from Murray. Freakin panicked and threw softest pick-6 ever. I think this experience will be a lesson in leadership for him.

People have compared Murray to Russell. After watching this I am sorry I do not see it. Murray has panicked during this gam and looks disoriented. He has made some very bad decisions.

Murray is not a leader, pouts when frustrated or behind. Far, far cry from Russell Wilson. No where near the long ball like RW.

On ESPN2 Wilson just said Murray needs to be up and down the sideline talking to guys saying they can still win this, making them believe. With almost comedy timing it cut to Murray sat down just staring into space resigned to defeat.

We're out, so the deeper each goes, the more their OC and DC and key coaches will be raided by other teams. Stopping short of SB win, of course. Notice multiple SF and LAR coordinators are on lots of HC interview lists.
