That was actually one of the closest games I’ve seen where one team dominated nearly every aspect of the game.
Those stops by Dallas to force field goals were huge.
Other than that, their D had more holes than Pornhub.

1-1 for me today!

See them tomorrow... willing!!

We are on schedule!

I like your picks!

Fixed.

Good game, figured it would be close. Now on to tomorrows games...
I want the rematch against the Patriots next week. The road to the super bowl would be extra perfect if we can eliminate them. lol

[Tony208]

Congratulations to the Rams. Just played better today. Defense really let us down letting them run up and down the field like that.

Well 3/4 road teams won last weekend. So far home teams are 2/2.
Wouldn’t surprise me if both home teams won tomorrow too.
Seems like every game has been close except for any game involving the Colts. They dominated last weekend then were dominated this weekend. One would think at least one of tomorrow’s games will be a blow out. Just hoping it’s not the late game.

[Eye Candy]

I hoping for the Rams to win it all over the rest of the teams left in the race.

[Hoke Moseley]

Weirdly great game.

Still can't believe how insanely good CJ Anderson has been for the Rams.

The home teams have all won in the Divisional round before (twice in the last ten years) but, traditionally and statistically, odds favor at least one road team to win the weekend.

Many people would point to the Patriots as being the most vulnerable favorite, but the Chargers are coming in banged-up, and I'm banking that the steady flow of the Belichick hand at home will be enough to get the Patriots to the next round.

Meanwhile, the Saints haven't looked as strong over the last quarter of the season, and the rest/rust factor might hurt them, especially with a healthier and surging Eagles team coming in for the rematch.

Saints are very good at the Superdome.
I’m just hoping it’s not another blowout loss by Philly. Brees is a surgeon, and the Philly secondary has been shredded all year.
Screw it, I will be drinking either way!

Good win by the Rams, multiple idiot coaches getting fired would make me feel better about this loss.

I'm still waiting for an explanation on how Dak was sacked by La'El Collins. One that makes sense.

I’m still waiting for all the other questionable calls that went Dallas’ way to be explained.
Giveth/taketh I suppose.

There is none. It was a bad call by the officials who got caught up in a moment that was out of the ordinary (like last week's unattended live ball in the Eagles/Bears game).

That was a huge call too, cause I felt that Dak had time to still make a play...or at least throw the ball away to keep the field goal opportunity alive. It was a potentially epic play that turned into a horrible call on the field.

Doesn't matter now, good luck tomorrow.

[DragonOfTheBlackPool]

I go into every game with the expectation that a bad penalty/penalties could possibly/in fact does change the outcome of the game. It sucks, but it seems to happen so frequently now that I'm not surprised anymore.

That might best be answered by Collins himself.
It’s not a good idea to hug your QB from behind during a game.

They’re both from Louisiana and the same age.
Maybe they grew up together and practiced unconventional “blocking” schemes?

Especially for a guy that has been on the roster for a month.
