The team has to be feeling super confident after this game so will it help us go on a long winning streak or be too confident? I feel this could be the break out game with asshandings in the future. Greg Zeurleins close miss could be the turbo boost of the season the Hawks get.
Is this the game that propels us to the top?

This game is one of the 4 cornerstones they can build on, you have games that build a young players confidence and when they changed up to a man defense those last few Ram possessions that's trusting them and they held up for the most part. Thompson's confidence has to be a lot better also, he seemed to be playing timid since day one. Griffin played lights out I thought as did Taylor.

Man coverage at the end was so much better and tight. Before those final 3 downs they had awful calls on the coverage. The Rams will take the sidelines all day long and they just gave it to them. Gotta force them to make throws in bounds no matter what. Play Cover 2 with man coverage atleast. I hope the D coach learns from his defensive playcalling, it was bad at the end.

I'd feel a lot better about them is we had just one guy that could sack the other teams QB now and again... Why did they have Clowny and Ziggy dropping back in coverage?

It could provide a ton of confidence, but unless they are able to improve the pass rush and tackling I don't see it making much of a difference in the long run.

One more game.
Hopefully it’s a game that they can learn a lot from. Hopefully it’s a game that builds confidence in some of the young guys.
Its a huge win but it really wasn’t a “statement” type win.
We still have some big weaknesses, and they are on tape for others to see and exploit.

Nope, this defense is hot garbage. No pass rush, really bad secondary, underachieving LB and D line with some very questionable coaching. I thought they were going to be better this year but I think they are a lot worse. No heart, no leaders, no toughness.

This Rams team was in the Super Bowl last year and will of course be challenging again this year.
You take a win against them and feel great, period.
No asterisks.

In a word, yes! Ziggy and Clowney are still trying to figure it out and Pete is still trying to figure them out. This is still like preseason for those guys, especially Ziggy. When they finally put this puzzle together it’s going to be a thing of beauty!

And yet they are 4-1.
I think they will be just fine.

Ziggy and Clowney are getting attention, Jefferson and Green were getting inside pressure and being disruptive.
Ken Norton is reason enough for a lot of worry.
Their defense is a soft zone cover 2 or tampa 2, which is a variation of 3 deep depending. {The Mike backer plays deep.) It's affecting Wagner for sure, and he is having a bad year.
They need a Quinn like DC, and they need a proper center fielder to get the defense back to where it needs to be.
I would very much recommend they spend a high draft pick on a center field Free Safety.
The good news about pass rush is they can keep going to the Free Agency well on guys that have down years, and give them short term prove it contracts. Instead of paying guys multi-year $20M+ APY.

Was kind of thinking that this feels like one of those 2012 or early 2013 wins. Don't know what that means, but it just seems like it. The defense isn't on par, as stated, but RW is playing out of his mind and Carson looks more like himself. If the secondary can provide just a few plays a game, regardless of who's playing, then there are going to be some good things. Especially if we start to gel in the pass rush and get Reed back. It feels like this is just the beginning. At least right now anyway...
