16-3 Baby! The NFC Championship!

I'm reading talk about the jitters around hear. I don't get it. I'm not nervous at all. Yes, I am looking forward to the game, but I have total confidence that the Rams are being overestimated. As mediocre as their defense has been this season, they are still over-hyped. The pundits are declaring Talib as being the key with his return. I just don't see it.

I'm hearing that the loss of Rankins is a crippling blow. Bullcrap! We have outstanding defensive tackles in Onyemata, Stallworth and Davison chomping at the bit to prove their worth. I can easily see them elevating their game tremendously.

And then there is the new found running game anchored by the addition of C.J. Anderson being touted as the real thing by the talking heads. Do not forget that it only began three weeks ago when the Rams faced the lowly Cardinals and 49ers in meaningless games the two teams had mentally surrendered prior to the kickoff. The third game was against the Cowgirls in L.A. in a game the Cowgirls dropped their panties early and left them around their ankles for the remainder of the game. (This is the Cowpatties we're talking about)

I proclaim bullcrap once again. Against the Saints run defense the flash in the pan (or plop in the toilet) Anderson will return to the form which has sent him to the street repeatedly over the past couple of years.

And then comes the coup de grâce ... the Superdome crowd. The media is underestimating the impact of the most frightening and overpowering home field advantage the Dome can produce when the crowd is at their zenith. That apex will be reached again this Sunday afternoon when facing the wool producing farm animals from lower California.

**** the Rams!

16-3 Baby!

I'm Nervous. Nothing is set in stone which is why the game is played. It would be nice to be able to win this without it coming down to a last drive either way, but my heart monitor knows better.

If the Saints bring their A game it won't come down to a final drive!

Just heard that the Rams allowed TWO TD's less on average with Talib in the game that the rest of the season. Well fricking duh! They faced ****ty offenses those games.

Avoid the bull**** hype. It is just that.

Bull****!

Re: 16-3 Baby! The NFC Championship!

It’s puzzling to me that everyone, analysts and fans alike are going crazy over the loss of Rankins. Yes he had his best season as a pro. But I can remember as recently as last season, he was considered a borderline bust. Rankins was a 1st rd pick. Big O and Stallworth are studs. I consider those two guys just as talented as Rankins. But because Rankins was a 1st rounder, it’s understandable he has seen more playing time. Not stating Rankins won’t be missed. Just saying those two other guys can really bring it.

Re: 16-3 Baby! The NFC Championship!

I don’t think we will see much of a drop off with Rankins out. We will see the depth that’s been talked about since preseason. May be better off with fresh guys and less tape. I do think we are facing a better D than last time around. Suh has been playing lights out and Donald is a beast. The line looks to be playing better as a unit and that’s only going to help Talib on the back end.
It’s going to be tough and our offensive line is going to need to bring it.
All said I think our O is riding the momentum from the Eagles game and it’s just a matter of time before they go off. Hopefully from the first play.
