Gearing Up For The Rams
 
Quote:
MINNEAPOLIS -- Oh, man. Do we really have to wait six days for Sunday? Can't we just access a time machine and fast-forward to Nov. 4 in New Orleans? Because on that day, the Superdome will host what sure looks like one of the most important games of the 2018 season.

It's not always smart to separate contenders and pretenders midway through an NFL season. But as Week 8 fades from view, it's difficult to avoid putting the Los Angeles Rams (8-0) and New Orleans Saints (6-1) atop the NFC playoff race. And, hey, what do you know? The Rams and Saints will meet at the Superdome in Week 9.
Start gearing up for Rams-Saints to decide the NFC - NFL Nation- ESPN

The article makes it clear. The Saint's beat the Vikings by keeping constant pressure on Cousins from the second quarter on. Nine hits and four sacks takes a toll on the QB. The Packers showed us the recipe by sacking Goff 5 times. We just need to cook the Ram gumbo on Sunday.

See, I just didn't see it that way. I especially didn't see it that way early on. There were times, particularly in the second half, but in spots in the first half, where we did get some pressure, but I clearly recall Cousins standing tall in the pocket with ample time to survey they field, and he too frequently found wide open WRs.

But Davenport is getting better and there were times when we did disrupt them. We're definitely better now than earlier in the season. I want to see us dominate somebody. I may be asking too much.

Another incredibly fun team to watch. Preventing Aaron Donald from collapsing the pocket will be the key to the game for us.

This was talked about by Jordan after the game. They dialed up the pressure as the game progressed. So Cousins gets comfortable, then we steadily crank it until the dial is way up there. All the laser timed throws he makes without thinking, just putting it in a spot starts becoming a problem. We slowly took that away. His go to muscle memory routes were gone.

“Listen, we’re going to have to grind this tape,” Rankins said, via Tom Pelissero of NFL Media. “We played [the Rams] last year, but they’re a whole different animal this year. So it’s definitely going to be our biggest task yet. But we’re confident in the guys we have and it’s going to be a fun battle.”

Here is a kind of interesting stat. There are two teams undefeated on the road in 2018. The Rams and the Saints.

Number 1 running back vs number 1 run defense
After the first quarter the Vikings' passing game was held in check, and their WR's are better than LA's

might very well be last team with the ball wins- bet the over
