Anyone feel like we are playing the 03 Rams again.

I think the disparity at RB is overwhelming

No kidding. espn is making such a big deal out of james' 75 or so rushing yards, it really seems pathetic. They have NO semblance of a rushing attack at all. Come Saturday night, the whole nation will see that fact.

Don't even use the 2003 Rams and the Cardinals in the same breath.

The Rams were one of the most explosive and top teams in the league.

The Cardinals are a punchline in a sad joke.

They were 8-8 in the God Awful NFC West for Christ's sake.

They beat some of the worst teams in the league.

SF twice...both times before Singletary took over and they sucked bad

Miami....most overrated team in the league. Were exposed as a joke by Baltimore

Buffalo...once they started imploding

Dallas...during the stellar Brad Johnson era

SL...Twice...2nd worse team in the league

Seattle...twice...challenging SL for 2nd worse team in the league

What a joke....any other division and you would have been 3rd place at best.

There run game was garbage before they played Atlanta, there not going to have 2 good running games in a row.

Actually it's been 2 games in a row already. Edge had 100 yards against Seattle the last game of the season. James has only had 16 touches against Atlanta and has had a 5.8 yard per carry average since being reinserted into the lineup after being benched following the last Carolina game. James has 30 rushes for 173 yards the last two games. He has fresh legs and is running like he is auditioning for a new team next year. If Edge gets going it is going to open up our play action passes, in which Warner had a perfect 158.8 QB rating against Atlanta when passing from play action. If Edge gets going, our passing game is that much more lethal.

Everyone is writing us off against you guys, but I guess that's why they play the game on the field and not in the papers or on message boards.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
