The question remains - how long can the Rams play at the emotional level they are playing at. It's usually the case that a midseason fire/hire can raise a teams intensity level. Are the Rams the pathetic bunch they appeared to be in week 1-4, or are they the team that has played extremely well the last 3 weeks. I would venture to say that they are somewhere in between. They will come out fired up on Sunday & it will incumbent upon the Cardinals to respond. I still think the current intensity with the Rams will have to subside some. They are just not that good. Could they beat the Cardinals at home - yes. The Rams will have to play well & the Cardinals will have to play like they usually do on the road.

Boy, I think Pendy has to go!! If the Cardinals finish with the top ranked offense & go 9-7, Pendy will be fired & Whiz will hire someone who knows the Pittsburgh style of D.

Well stated. Not to mention they know they have plenty of time to catch us in the division race, so they are going to play a bit harder than usual. Although that could work against them given their lack of talent and perhaps force turnovers and make poor decisions. We just have to play our game. If we play like we played last week against the Panthers, we should take this game. This is one game we cannot afford to give up.
We haven't had a tradition of winning any games since the '70s. If we use this line of reasoning we can say...Monday night against 49'ers "We choke on Monday Night Football.", against Seattle "We can't win on the road." etc. etc.
At some point in time the Cardinals have to turn the corner, hopefully it's this season.
With Little hurting and the Rams DBs suspect Haslett has one option, BLITZ and blitz some more. IMO he will try and get in Warners wheel house early on and hope for a Jets game like melt down.
Our answer. RUN and run some more. Ball control O and run stuffing D,the stuff championship teams are made of.
A big day from our version of thunder and lightning Hightower and Arrington, while our underrated D stuffs Jackson like a T Day turkey and WIison returns to form.
All in all lower scoring than expected but a win non the less
Cards 23
