I come away from the game knowing the Rams were prepared and most of all that McVay called a much better game. That's not just because it was 1-5 Atlanta...the Rams play was much better in every phase. I just have to see it every week! McVay looked more engaged from the sideline and he made good adjustment. It wasn't just pass, pass, pass...and Goff wasn't the "Statue of Liberty" in the pocket. He slid, and ran more...and he was on his toes better.

The defense was "on point"...GREAT game for Fowler and Donald! Brockers is healthy this year and it shows. The secondary wasn't up and down either...they were steady and aggressive...GREAT to have Ramsey...and I've already admitted I think I was wrong about him after listening to him talk about what happened in Jacksonville on NFL Countdown.

in the preseason Henderson showed nothing but now he is showing flashes.
Edwards might be a season saver hope so.
fowler and donald great game also Donald holding that bird up with his feet doing the cartoon spin in air.
goff regaining confidence could be huge.
no false starts witch I think is an indication of being prepared to play.
so much better then last week can I get an amen

Anybody else feel like we struggle running up the gut? It seemed to me like we had no success up the middle at all, but outside runs worked out well enough.

Oops, didn't mean to sound negative. Loved the game and I'm super glad we got a win. Littleton absolutely ruined Smith on that pay. I thought it was hilarious until I found out he was hurt. Was it a concussion?

Fowler is a monster. Hopefully we get somebody to replace his production next year or he loses all sense and signs a super cheap contact.

I was traveling and missed the final three quarters. From seeing the first, I felt good about our chances. This is why we traded for Ramsey. The defense is completely different when we're not forced to run soft zone all the time. Our DL can do work. Good for Fowler to have a game. He pissed me off early by letting Ryan out of that sack and holding Ridley.

Also, Obo Okoronkwo was quite impressive in the first quarter.

Amen brother!
 
A nice road win. Gave Goff some time to throw and it made a big difference. McVay ran the ball even if with moderate success. Henderson looks good while TG ran hard. Very few penalties helped get the offense in rhythm.

So it sounded like Edwards did a decent job but not seeing the game - I couldn't determine the major malfunction in scoring from the goal line. I recall seeing Snead indicate he may not be done with wheeling and dealing - so I fully expect another move to shore up the interior OL this week before the trade deadline.

The biggest issue with scoring on the goal line was the officials. Gurley got in the endzone called short, Goff got across the plain, called short. Then Goff got us in the endzone for the 3rd straight play, but there was nobody around so the officials had to concede that it was indeed a TD.

So many game balls. Wade finally blitzed, McVay finally got Goff out of the pocket, Woods was Woods, one of the best all around WR’s in the game. Everett got open all day.

Dante Fowler Jr. wrecked the game, absolutely wrecked it. In fact our whole LB crew were solid. Our patched up secondary held up well. Edwards may have saved the season for us. Gurley and Hendo, were a good one-two punch.

I know there were more. I dare say that we looked like the Rams again.

Good points my friend. I would add Littleton's INT too. (y)
