“RAMS FOOTBALL-ALWAYS IMPRESSIVE”
==========
They moved to Los Angeles from St Louis.

They had a Super Bowl tradition back there, the Kurt Warner-Marshall Faulk ‘Greatest Show on Turf’.

They got a Super Bowl ring upon their return to Los Angeles.

And now in what was supposed to be a rebuild-transition year, they are headed to the next round of the playoffs.

Driven by a demanding coach, Sean McVay, a creative genius, and guided by elite player acquisitions in the draft via GM-Les Snead, this is a team on a mission.

They have now won 10-of-13 games since a (1-4) start, a start to the season that was hung in black crepe.

6-offensive lineman on IR.  A battered secondary.  Holes to fill at defensive tackle and inside linebacker.

What we got over the long haul, was the emergence of a fierce pass rush, led by the high rookie draft picks Jared Verse and Brandon Fiske.  The continued development of 2nd year starters upfront Byron Young and Kobie Brown.

A bunch of linebackers and guys in the secondary who got better and better.

Matthew Stafford, who found the fountain of youth after his trade from Detroit, coupled with ex Notre Dame RB-Kyran Williams, and the mixture of Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua and Demarcus Robinson, has led to an explosive mix of offensive firepower.

They got the guys upfront healthy and now the Rams are hitting on all cylinders.

Are they a threat to the other NFC-Beasts still alive in the playoff bracket?  No they are not the Lions nor the Eagles, but they are close to being very dangerous.

Just ask the Minnesota Vikings, in the aftermath of sacks, QB hits, turnovers caused, how good the Rams are.

Dominance and destruction, right from the get-go.  Matthew Stafford hit passes of 20-23-23-27-yards on the first two series and it was 10-0.

The defense was everywhere, 6-first half QB sacks, 9-sacks in all and two takeaways in an 8-play span added insult to injury.

it was an awful finish to an other great comeback season for Sam Darnold and a step forward in the respect towards young coach Kevin O’Connell.  But the Vikings stagger home with back-to-back beatdowns at the hands of Detroit and the Rams.

It was awful to watch and for the Vikings to experience.  And we know how good LA really is.

Good enough to know the Rams beat the hell out of them and Minnesota is headed home.

Rams football, always seems to be impressive.
