Yes they won convincingly but how many times did the Rams drop passes on 3rd down in Cardinal territory and ended up punting. Akers, Higbee? Or costly penalties when they picked up the first down in Cardinal territory!! I know of 2 and one with Whitworth and can't remember the other.culprit... I'm ecstatic they won BUT won't be playing the Cards next week!! Go Rams!!

The akers drop is understandable ,dude is just coming back from a long time off . But highbee's drops are happening at a BIGGER rate than what I expect from a top 10 TE . ( not saying he is , but ...still , can't keep dropping passes ) . That first SF game he killed us dropping the first one that lead to a pick 6 and then a crucial 3rd down conversion he also dropped . We need some TE competition here to make him play better .

Indeed, there was still definitely some sloppy play which will need to be 'cleaned up,' that's if the Rams are going to have a decent chance at upsetting the Buccaneers this coming Sunday.

It was a considerably better performance than our team's fiasco vs. the 49ers just over a week ago, however that limited level of focus on "O" almost certainly won't be enough to win while facing the Buccaneers on the road in the NFC's divisional-round playoffs.

The weather will probably be mild anyway... ;) 8-) :idea:

David Edwards was flagged for holding on the play Akers injured Budda Baker. It wiped out his 11 yard run and 1st down at the 5 and put us in 3rd and 15 at the 26 instead...We ended up with a FG...

Edwards blows. He got hit with 2 holding calls in this game and is the worst of the Ram o-line. Can't believe Rams have no one better than him. How bad is Bobby Evans that he can't displace Edwards.

I wonder if the rams should put Boom at guard
