Rams Crush Crudinals for Braggin' Rights in the NFC West

CRUDINALS EXPOSED

Rams 17,  Cardinals 3

In the game to decide who is moving ahead of who in the NFC Worst, and out of the dog house, the St. Louis Lambs take it to the University of Phoenix Crudinals even more decisively than expected here in the Basement.   With absolutely NO running game, the Cruds attempt to go all air on the Lambs, and  it was the GREEN LIGHT to the new Rams defense that, apparently, has more than Mutton Chops.   EIGHT SACKS, and TWO helmet removals on QB Kevin Kolb.   Kolb vaults past Aaron Rodgers into the sack lead with an astronomical 22 in just 5 games.   Wow!

The Cruds generate zero offense, which is saying something in this game, as Lambs QB Sam Bradford turned in one of the worst games of his career, though he kept the interceptions to a meager one.   At one point Bradford was 3 for 16 for 45 yards!  But then he connected on a 51-yard TD to Chris Givens and his yardage total got all bloated.  He finished 7-21 for 141 yards, maintaining a passer rating below 70 (69.7).  That's just plain Doormat All-Star, and the guy won anyway.  

The Rams have won every home game.  That's gotta feel good up in the stands.  

Holy Cow the LAMBS have a winning record!!!!   I can't say Adios Bro-Cha-Cho yet, as they have to get to 8 wins, but the Rams are showing signs of beating up the other mediocrities hanging around our patio.  Next up: MIAMI

If the Seahags can pull out a win this Sunday against Carolina, the entire NFC West will have a winning record, and that hasn't happened since 1898!   

-wacko

Thursday Night Lowest TV Ratings Ever

Arizona Cardinals at  the St. Louis Rams

The University of Phoenix Crudinals are an improbable 4-0,  and nobody is taking them seriously.  C'mon, admit it.  You think the 49ers are leading the NFC West, right?  The Cruds offense is worse than last year (29th vs. 19th), but are scoring more points.  They have barely won 3 of their 4 games, with last week's OT victory over the Floppers taking it to the limit.  

The St. Louis Lambs,  our projected team to actually be trying to stop being a Doormat, are an improbable 2-2,  and are averaging a full TD more in points (19)  than last year's Moldy Carpet winning performance (12).  They lost in the final 5 seconds to the Lions, won in Washington where QB Sam Bradford cleared the 300 yard passing mark (!!!),  got clobbered by Chicago, and won last week's Stiff of the Week over the Seahawks in a blazing display of field goal kicking.  

Both of these teams are actually attempting to not be bad anymore.  Tonight decides which one gets bragging rights in the NFC West in the Doormat No More department, and which one stops being improbable.

Some numbers:

sacked:   Bradford  14  (2nd in league)   Kevin Kolb  13 (3rd)

TD/INT  Bradford - 4/4       Kolb   7/2

 Offense rushing:  Cards  65yd a game     Lambs  90.5

Give/Take  Cards +4   Lambs  +2

The Lambs run defense is 26th, giving up 135 yards a game.  

The Cruds have allowed ONE rushing TD.   

The Lambs have snagged 8 interceptions while the Cruds lead the league in sacks with 16.  

It could be a really long night for Bradford.  Or really short.  

Can Kolb get back to throwing the killer interception?  

EDGE TO LOSE:  This is really close.  Lambs have not beat the Cruds at home since 2004.   LAMBS.
