Kolb looked poised in the pocket, but nothing flashy (as to be expected with only a few practices). They couldn't convert on 3rd down though. Their O-line looks shaky at best. I think Ryan Williams will be their #1 RB over Beanie Wells.
Their defense was more impressive than I anticipated. Nothing of note from Patrick Peterson.

Just like qb rating doesnt tell the full story, bradford doesnt tell the full story of the rams improvement. Their d improved immensely with another year under spags system and a gameplan built around bradfords strengths. When he was asked to win games with his arm they lost. Its as simple as that. Hes not raw garbage but potential alone means dick in this league

lol kolb looked poised in the pocket? were we watching the same game? first throw of the game he panics and checks the ball out of bounds (Probably a miscommunication with fitz). next play he darts out of the pocket and doesn't bother looking downfield. his deep throw to fitz should have been picked off.
not that our team looked any better but to say kolb looked poised is ridiculous

Really good. No pressure and Sam had all day. Sam's numbers look bad because they had a very short field.

Eagles, Giants, Ravens, Packers, and Saints...all in the first 8 weeks!
Hawks have: Us, Steelers, Giants and Ravens.
Tards: Giants, Steelers, Ravens.
So, the Rams have a completely brutal first 8 weeks, while the Hawks and rams have a few tough games but also an equal amount of easier opponents.
Still, no game is easy. Many of these games could turn into upsets, and many teams our rivals might be supposed to beat, might upset them, too.
