Was at the game today. First time I have ever been to a game the Rams won. What a game. A few things that stood out watching it from the stands.
First off, Fowler was a Monster. Really disruptive, almost had 4 sacks, had a huge tackle for a loss, and really took advantage, and made the Falcons pay for doubling Donald.
Obo, while I don't know if he got any stats, he flashed when he was on the field. Couple times, he got in the backfield quick, and had some nice PR Moves.
Hill played a really good game.
Ramsey for sure changes our defense exactly how I hoped he would. We played WAY MORE Man coverage today.
D held the falcons to 3 points until the backups came in the last 5-6 Min. That is pretty impressive. The Atlanta Offense has been rolling all year.
Aaron Donald is a beast. We all know that, but he just jumps out at you live. I watched the Chris long interview and was very impressed, especially where he was talking about when Seattle hit him out of bounds and he lost his temper. He said he had to be better than that in those situations. Today he was. He just picked Freeman up. Never swung, didn't get kicked out. But again, he is something. He grabs my attention like Lawrence Taylor used to. Guys like that change how you watch the game.
Edwards looked good. He started off really strong. Missed some assignments in the 2nd half, but overall, I was very impressed for a Rookie in his first start. Hope he keeps trending up.
Henderson had some nice runs.
It looked like they were making a big effort to make Everett a big part of the game plan. Goff was really close to hooking up with him a bunch of times, and if they get that down, this offense will be much tougher to defend.
Woods is such a team guy, and exactly what you want in a receiver. He never takes a play off, and is such a great blocker.
Christian looked like he had a pretty good game.
Ramsey seems to already fit in with the players and coaches.
Blythe seemed like he had another tough day. I will have to watch the game on TV, but several times his guy hit our RBs in the backfield.
Hav seemed to have a better game, but I am not sure if that is just because he wasn't facing a speed rusher.
Gurley's catch in the corner of the endzone was beautiful. What a great catch, especially for a Running Back.
Goff broke #45's ankle on his touchdown run. He had some shake today. LOL
Littleton's Int was sweet, just a great, quick reaction. That boy can play.
I have never been to a game with a fake punt. That was really cool.
Jojo was really close to breaking that punt return for a TD at the end of the half. But a really fun, exciting return. However, his first punt return scared the crap out of me. What was he thinking?
The Punt/Fumble/Touchdown was awesome. That returner got lit up by 3 or 4 guys before he finally fumbled. I couldn't tell who recovered it, but it looked like it was Darious Williams.
I kept seeing Rapp all over the field. Box Score says he had 5 Tackles, but it seemed like more.
If this is what the Pass D looks like now, imagine with John Johnson back.
Run blocking on the right side of the O-Line has to get better.
Overall, what a game. Man that stadium was empty by the middle of the 3rd Qtr.
After the game was over, some guy in Rams jersey comes running out of the restroom yelling "Whose House? RAMS HOUSE" swinging his arms around like a complete lunatick. My wife and I were cracking up. It didn't seem to make any of the Falcon's fans laugh.
That was the first time I have been to the stadium. It is nice. I don't think it will hold a candle to Stan's little project in LA, but it is a really nice stadium.
