Cleveland was not a dominant defense that the Rams had to scratch and claw, play it safe, play in fear, figure out a way to move the ball against.

Cleveland didn't play very much shell with two deep safeties that has become so common in the league and especially against the Rams. The Rams took that opportunity to attack and had a lot of success with a lot of big plays, a lot more than we've seen recently anyway. I tried to pay attention and just about every time Cleveland had only 1 safety deep, the Rams threw the ball, mostly with success.

Not being the game i expected was true on the other side of the ball as well. Cleveland's offense was not garbage. They moved the ball well pretty consistently. It continues to amaze me how the defense often doesn't look very good but when you look up at the scoreboard, they're not giving up a lot of points.

Not sure that will hold up against good offenses but not sure it won't either.

And if Kupp can become his usual self again, holy cow.

That Puka Nacua guy is pretty good, surprisingly fast on top of everything else he does right...


Well Cleveland not having Ward and probably Garrett at 50% probably helped but our o-line played very well overall.. my other thoughts..

- Stafford played well again helps when he is given time- only one mind numbing throw he got away with.
- Kyren is a beast and master of finding small creases.
- PUKA just a game wrecker
-Please Free Demarcus Robinson, he needs to play more
-Kupp started to look like Kupp some late, need him to be a difference maker again.
-Defense.... if only we could found a vet for the Edge like the Rams did at corner (with Witherspoon, the pass rush remains very weak. The defense did find a way, Flacco mistake helped a lot.

Yeah Cleveland/Garrett not being 100% definitely helped.

Also i think Stafford and Shwartz knowing each other so well helped the Rams more than Cleveland. Stafford really seemed to be in command out there, very confident and proactive in how he wanted to attack. Also seems like his thumb is getting better, maybe only one throw that seemed like it might have gotten away from him...

If o-line can protect like this against the Ravens and Staff can continue to play like this we got a shot against them. Stafford has looked very good the last two, you can see what he can do with time and a running game...

As many players will do in social media these days, it's a reference to a Beatles song. "Get Back." You know, get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged.

It's Johnson expressing his appreciation for being on the Rams again.

Kidding. 😎 It's a variation on "payback is a bitch," obviously referring to his interception.

Don't disagree but think Brown is gonna get fined for this. (Assuming Tweet gets deleted, he's complaining about being held):

They missed so many holds it was ridiculous. I doubt he cares he gets fined. He put refs in blast. He may never get a holding call again. Or, the refs might be wise and pay start to pay more attention to him and how he’s being “blocked”.
