Some of the comments........ when you live a "falcon's life", what exactly do you smoke to experience that level of delusion???
Does living a "falcon's life" mean it's time to go to bed at 8pm because the school bus comes early and your mom might beat you with her high heel shoe if you're up past 8pm??

Rams less than 100 on ground.

This may be an unpopular opinion based on Goff’s stats, but our CB’s played fantastic. Other than the big pass to Cooks, Marshon Lattimore wasn’t thrown at. Eli Apple quietly took a major step forward as our #2. No need to say anything about PJ Williams... He has a well-deserved thread of his own! The coverage issues are almost all on the Three Stooges playing safety.

You want bad CB play? Did you see Marcus Peters?! He’s absolute garbage nowadays.

Yes; our safeties struggle in cover 2 ... I really don’t understand it, unless communication is the issue?

I do not think I saw a Safety within yards of the catch today ... last week ... the week before ... must I go on?

Impressive first half
Rams made adjustments and proved why they are a top team in the NFL with the comeback
Impressed that our defense and offense woke up in the 4th quarter (not easy to do and even good teams lose getting too far up in a half)
Michael Thomas is a potential hall of fame WR....
Michael Thomas' antics in the end zone were the stupidest and most annoying thing I've seen since Joe Horn did the same thing in 2003. It's not the kind of thing our team is about and shows immaturity.

Thomas' immaturity is starting to worry me, Twitter feuds, switching agents and now the Cell Phone thing. He's a great player but quickly becoming a distraction.

We are used to Colston, he isn't Coleston, and that's to our benefit presently. I wouldn't let his 'off the clock' worry you about his 'on the clock'. The homage to Joe Horn was with a stopped clock so technically off

.

Is he caustic in the locker room? Not that anyone has mentioned.
Is the cell phone penalty any different than Grahams dunk penalties? Nope
If Joe Horn had Twitter when he was a player would Thomas be any different? No
Does he whine or throw tantrums like Bryant? No
Is he trying to be bigger than the team? Not that I know of.

Most importantly, has any of the above eroded his performance? Not that I know of.

He has a chip on his shoulder and that makes a lot of people play harder.

I was thinking along the same lines as Dizzle but you made some good points. He's definitely not a cancer in the locker room.

Speaking of cancers, I didn't like Brandin Cooks when he was a Saint, and I like him even less now. The guy has Mighty Mouse syndrome. Not as good as he thinks he is.
