Game Thread: Week 9, Houston Texans @ Los Angeles Rams, 11/12/17, 1:05pm, PST, CBS

[Retroram52]

Week 9 in the schedule is upon us and as McVay keeps hammering home: One game at a time! With all the accolades mounting on this team, McVay and company continue to stress to stay grounded, focus on the fundamentals, stay disciplined, team first, and don't take too many of the accolades seriously just yet.

This should be a good game for the Rams at home because we are not undefeated at home this year like we are on the road. This game reminds me of the Washington game and where we came out flat and kept Washington in the game by not playing dominant D and then we got lazy on offense and never really got into a rhythm.

There isn't a player on this Rams team that likes losing like under the Drama Queen years. So I see this game to be pivotal for the Rams in over-coming the little things like winning at your house that we have to master on our way to bigger and better things! We may struggle with some of these issues but I think we will win this one too!

The Rams have some injury issues. Looks as though the Rams will activate Dunbar for tomorrow's game to fill in for Malcolm Brown who sprained his MCL against the Geeants. Longacre will be playing more for Quinn and Ebukam will fill in as well. Mundt may make it off the PS because Carrier is being inactivated for the game tomorrow.

Rams-Texans: Final injury report has new concerns

 

[Retroram52]

This is the real thread. What the hell are you doing DJ? This thread has been here since yesterday.

 

[Retroram52]

Now we get the Tom Brady tuck rule but the refs went with the fumble and the ruling on the field stands.

 

[Retroram52]

After all that defensive prowess, the O does nothing with it and Zuerlein kicks the FG.

 

[Retroram52]

Tanziel Smart is still getting blocked and the Texans run right up the gut again.

 

[Retroram52]

That is better.

 

[Retroram52]

The D holds and the Offense gets its own chance.

 

[Retroram52]

Our offense is playing very badly all of a sudden.

 

[Retroram52]

The right side of our O-line is getting beat badly. Goff is running for his life so far. The center, right guard and tackle better get their heads out of their collective asses or this is going to be a long day and for no good reason.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Agreed, way too much pressure on Goff right now...

 

[Retroram52]

I hope we have not been letting all of the headlines go to the offenses head.

 

[Retroram52]

Good play by Tyrunn Walker. Ebukam is playing in place of Quinn. Longacre is also playing there as well.

 

[Retroram52]

Hopkins for the first.

 

[Retroram52]

The Rams D has been stellar. The offense has yet to show up.

 

[Retroram52]

TRU!!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Almost a pick by Tru. Take them damn gloves off and that would have been a pick-six!

 

[Retroram52]

Now we are backed-up on our three-yard line. We had better wake-up on offense or this could be disastrous right away.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Our TE got whipped by Clowney on that sack....

 

[Retroram52]

GURLEY WITH A FIRST!!
