To say this or any other NFL game comes down to 1 thing is crazy. Both of our games Sunday is proof of that.

Kolb was sacked 8 times and hurried 11 times. We won the game. That speaks for itself.

If the defense that showed up for the Dolphins is on the field, the game will be very close.

If the offensive line that showed up for the Dolphins is on the field, the game will be very close.

However, if the defense that was present for weeks 1 through 3 shows up, I think the Rams will have a hard time scoring more than a few field goals.

If our O-Line can get a little help and protect Kolb, we should be fine. Kolb is doing well minus the two interceptions as he has done well to protect the ball. I think last week was the most pressure he's been under, obviously 8 sacks, and he did okay.. not stellar but okay to win the game.


Regardless, will be a fun game to watch on a Thursday night!

I'm a little concerned Finnegan is gonna get in Roberts' head and get him to retaliate against Finnegan. My concern here is that I just think this game could get out of hand penalty-wise. The Cards D has the name recognition right now and the Rams have been playing very tough and aggressive...good recipe for a clash of egos IMO. Hope this is somehow addressed before the game so we don't lose costly yards at the worst possible time.

I think this will be another game where maybe we see a lot of Powell pass protecting. Both of the Lions' TE's had a good game against their D, so maybe we can really get Housler working them over. Other than that I really don't know what to expect...their rushing attack has only really clicked vs. the Redskins. Redskins struggled again to stop their passing attack and they also had moderate success vs. the Lions. On paper it seems like we should have this game, but man in my gut it just feels like this is gonna be one hell of a dogfight! Just can't really give any solid reasons as to why. It might be that the only Rams game I've seen this year is the Redskins game. They brought it that game...hard hitting, pretty smart play, and absolutely no quit in them.

I'll go with a Cards win 19 - 16

It really sucks being the road team on Thursday games. If we win this game it will say a lot about our team. Need to see some big plays on the ground.

I live in the midwest, and my father grew up a die hard Stl Louis Football Cardinal fan.

Every year we try to make it to this game, although we've missed the last two.

The best part prior is that Michael Bidwell brings back all the old Cardinal legends from the 70s and has them on the sideline before the game shaking hands etc.

Roger Wherli, Mel Gray, Jackie Smith, Roy Green and Terry Metcalf have all made appearances in the past, signing autographs etc.

I'll be there this Thursday night hoping to catch a few glimpses of some past legends, while also doing my best to cheer this team to a improbable 5-0 start.

Wouldn't it be something to have the gang that last did it in the house with the Cardinals attempting to duplicate what the 74 team did?

LOL, what it means for yesterday is anybodies guess but here was the injury report from last night, which was basically just a walk thru:

LSH, Todd Heap, Jim Dray, Quentin Groves and Mike Adams all sat out practice. John Skelton, Anthony Sherman, Adam Snyder, Dan Williams, Darnell Dockett, Paris Lenon and O'Brien Schofield were all listed as limited.
