No Ragnow VS a very aggressive d-line....Goff gonna throw 2-3 interceptions and play terrible lol. I'm expecting a loss unless our defense somehow turns this into a complete grind fest. More likely outcome is the offense doesn't show up, defense can't keep up...and somehow Aaron Glenn gets all the blame lol. Bet on it.

Jesus the injuries this season are insane. We might fukk around and compete now. I thought that d-line was gonna destroy Goff without Ragnow but now....I see a path.

I am very concerned with what's happening in Minnesota. They are giving me '99 Rams vibes.
That defense has made Slowik Shanahan and Lefleur look like amateurs, CJ Stroud had the worst game of his career against them and they’ve snagged Purdy’s only interception of the season thus far

They’re the best team in the league right now

I think this is the game Gibbs shines. We have a very good line even without ragnow and he has the ability to make them pay for putting 7 and 8 people in the box.

I assume we can hit home runs. Williams also has the speed to runaway from anyone. We’ll be ok.

Wild comparison. Darnold historically falls apart after the third game of a season. He played well yesterday but I need to see more sustained production. The start of this season has been odd. Couple weeks ago people said the Ravens were frauds, now they're world beaters. We thought the Bills were SB contenders with an MVP candidate QB, last night they got clowned. We'll see.

Kurt Warner was bagging groceries before he rescued the Rams. :dead:

My point is the vibe is similar. Nobody picked them to do shyt this season. They were supposed to finish last in the division. Trent Green was supposed to be the Rams' QB, he got injured before the season and this nobody Warner took over. The Vikings drafted McCarthy, he got injured before the season and this bum Darnold took over. If the season ended right now, he'd win MVP.

They beat Santa Clara in week two; they annihilated Houston in week three. The Packers game was over at halftime until that muffed punt. It got kinda tight in the fourth, but they let down after they got up 28-0. That game was over in 29 minutes.

O'Connell's a top four coach in the league with Shanny, Reid and McVay. We'll see what happens in three weeks but I am not taking them lightly. Justin Jefferson TORCHED them last year with Nick Mullens as his QB.

First team we faced with questionable LBs and Goff lit them the fukk up. Not a coincidence.

I think a healthy LaPorta and Tim Patrick really unlocked the offense. Goff had multiple answers out there and Patrick played that Josh Reynolds role tonight (including great blocking). And just like last year it led to a very balanced passing attack instead of the nonsense we saw a couple weeks ago. Only thing missing was Gibbs in the pass game, and it wasn't for lack of skill - he could have easily had 3-5 receptions for 30+ yards against those LBs.

Defense gave up a lot but it's impossible to deny we haven't improved the secondary. Davis really battled out there. Terrion again had the idiotic flags but was always in phase and erased his receiver multiple times. These guys aren't letting shyt go over their heads like Jerry Jacobs/Dorsey/Vildor last season. And three deep shots have been erased by Kerby INTs. That man is gonna get PAID. Sadly I think it'll be elsewhere lol but boy he is balling the fukk out.

National media gonna talk about our secondary. It is greatly improved. Just some idiotic mistakes were made.

Davis lost his cool. Lost contain 3 times in the 2nd half and it allowed Walker to get those big gains.

The entire defense was too emotionally wired yesterday.

Arnold is my only concern. Boy does he need this bye week for a mental break. He will cost us in the playoffs with these penalties
