Rams lose a tough one in Seattle 24-22

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Monday 13 November 2006 at 1:14 am

The Rams played a good game Sunday, but came up a little short on the scoreboard.  Marc Bulger completed 26 of 40 passes for 215 yards and a INT.  Steven Jackson was his usual busy self with 18 carries for 93 yards (5.2 ypc) and a TD.  Steven also caught 6 passes for 40 yards.  Torry Holt caught 7 passes for 73 yards and Isaac Bruce caught 7 passes for 66 yards.

The defense played pretty well.  Rookie DE Victor Adeyanju returned a Seneca Wallace fumble 89 yards for a TD.  Leonard Little (5 tackles, 2 sacks) and Will Witherspoon (8 tackles, 2 sacks) led the way on defense.  The Rams allowed the Seahawks to rush for 160 yards on 26 carries (6.2 ypc).  The Seahawks completed 15 of 23 passes for 123 net yards passing.  The Rams did have a breakdown on special teams and allowed Nate Burleson to return a punt 90 yards for a TD  in the 4th quarter.

This loss hurt as it dropped the Rams 2 games behind the Seahawks in the division.

St. Louis Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks

The Rams have lost three games in a row and that streak started with the Seahawks miraculous win in St. Louis 30-28!  The Seahawks broke a two-game losing streak last week with a 16-0 win over the Raiders.

Look for the Rams to come out throwing the ball against the Seahawks secondary that is allowing 222.8 net yards passing per game.  The Rams lit up the Seahawks secondary in the first meeting between these two teams.  Marc Bulger (2,300 yards passing with 13 TDs and 1 INT) will attack the Seahawks down the field with Torry Holt (45 rec, 624 yards) and Isaac Bruce (35 rec, 554 yards).  As soon as the Seahawks try to concentrate on the pass, then the Rams will feed the rock to big Steven Jackson (691 yards rushing).  Jackson also is a load in the passing game out of the backfield with 41 catches for 412 yards.

The Seahawks will try to run the ball against the Rams, who allow 141.3 yards rushing per game.  Maurice Morris (387 yards rushing) is coming off of his best game of the season last week, but he probably doesn’t scare the Rams defense.  Seneca Wallace has played o.k. so far, but it took a superhuman effort from Matt Hasselbeck to beat the Rams in their first meeting and even on his best day, Wallace isn’t in that class.

I think the Rams will get revenge in Seattle because their offense is so much better than what the Seahawks can counter with.

St. Louis Rams offense led by Marc Bulger

Marc Bulger is having a fantastic season so far for the Rams.  Bulger never gets mentioned as a top QB, but he always puts up big numbers.  Bulger has completed 64.1% for 2,300 yards with 13 TDs and only 1 INT!  Bulger has a QB rating of 102.1 which is outstanding!  This is nitpicking, but he should get rid of the ball a little quicker sometimes, as he has been sacked 24 times this season.  Bulger should be playing in the Pro Bowl, because he’s the best QB in the NFC so far this season!

Rams scalped by Chiefs 31-17

The Rams moved the ball at will on the Chiefs defense but just couldn’t put points up on the board, which was frustrating.  Marc Bulger completed 31 of 42 passes for 354 yards and a TD.  RB Steven Jackson has to be tired after the workload he had today.  Jackson carried the ball 19 times for 86 yards (4.5 ypc) and a TD.  Jackson also caught 13 passes for 133 yards.  Steven Davis carried the ball 6 times for 18 yards (3.0 ypc) when Jackson needed a break.  Isaac Bruce caught 3 passes for 60 yards.  Kevin Curtis had a good game, catching 7 passes for 59 yards and a TD.  Torry Holt only caught 3 passes for 50 yards.

Leonard Little had 2 sacks, but the defense had problems.  The Chiefs carried the football 32 times for 186 yards (5.8 ypc)!  The Chiefs completed 10 of 15 passes for 131 net yards…but 3 TDs!

 

Rams vs. Chiefs

Blogged under Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Wednesday 1 November 2006 at 3:38 pm
The Kansas City Chiefs offense has come alive the last two weeks and it has needed to with the way the defense has played.  The Rams defense has played horrible the last two games, both losses, while the offense is still playing a high level.

Herman Edwards has to make sure that he doesn’t play this game conservatively, because there is no way the Chiefs will be able to stop the Rams on defense!  The Rams are vulnerable to a running game and a good tight-end, that was proven last week against the Chargers.  So look for Larry Johnson (644 yards rushing, 329 yards receiving) and Tony Gonzalez (33 rec, 441 yards) to carry the offense against the Rams.  Damon Huard, who’s having a fantastic season, will also look to get the ball deep to Eddie Kennison (24 rec, 406 yards) who has played well late.  The Rams defense allows 134.9 yards rushing per game and 215.9 net yards passing per game, so the Chiefs should be able to move the ball with ease.

Look for the Rams to be a little more balanced than usual to try to protect their lousy defense by keeping it off of the field.  Steven Jackson (605 yards rushing, 279 yards receiving) could have a huge game against the Chiefs who allow 112.7 yards rushing per game.  The Chiefs had better try to blitz the Rams often, because if Bulger (1,946 yards passing, 12 TDs, 1 INT) gets the ball off, the Chiefs are in trouble.  The Chiefs secondary doesn’t have the speed to keep up with Torry Holt (42 rec, 574 yards) or Isaac Bruce (32 rec, 493 yards) and the Rams are sure to throw deep often to those guys.

Hard to pick a winner in this game, but it should be exciting to watch!
