Let's talk about the Rams.

[B_Ambuehl]

The Rams are close to being a dominant football team. They have freakish talent at every position group besides QB and safety. In recent weeks they've had 14+ point leads against 3 of the best teams in the NFL: Dallas, SF, & Seattle. That says something.

Their problem is they're still very young, play in a VERY aggressive defensive scheme (Greg Williams is their d-coordinator) and make a number of huge mental errors every game, usually overpursuing plays, biting on underneath routes leaving guys wide open down the field etc. That's generally not a good thing going against an Andy Reid offense with a Jamal Charles and mobile QB that doesn't turn the ball over. They also have a terrible unimaginative offensive playcaller in Brian Schottenheimer.

This game is tailor made for Alex Suck to do his thing completing checkdowns, scrambling for a few yards off bootlegs, and generally just playing a boring game taking care of the football. If he does that you'll should be ok.

I don't think they can pass on us, and I really don't know how they stop our offense.

We should be able to run and pass all over them.

I wouldnt be so sure they cant pass on us, they didnt ask him to throw a lot vs Seattle but he was hyper effecient when he did... 18/21 2 td.

And of course our secondary is a far cry from Seattles.

That's a great point.

Seattle didn't generate an ounce of pressure, though... I'd have to believe we can do better.

Our pass defense is actually better than Seattle's and is #1 in the league in yards allowed.

Seattle is really banged up at corner right now. They were playing a fourth stringer across from Sherman and a guy off the street at nickle. They were also missing their MLB. On top of that, they haven't been able to get pressure on the QB this year.

Chiefs corners aren't great but hopefully the noise and pressure up front compensate for that. I suspect both teams are going to try to run a lot. It might be a pretty short game.

[ThaVirus]

Oh, balls. I was just thinking if this were another road game that'd make three in a row..

Oh well. Probably better for us to have guys like Austin and Bailey on grass instead of turf.

[Direckshun]

I'm more worried about Kendricks and Cook. Those guys are matchup nightmares.

[Direckshun]

Fisher had tons of help against Ware.

[Buehler445]

I can't remember the stat but during the MNF game against the 9ers they had a huge stretch with no sacks and I remember Chucky making note of Quinn being on the sideline for an obvious passing down.

They may not rush the passer as well as we are giving them credit for. They'll invariably make smith run for his life some, but they're pass rush isn't what it should be on paper. At least through the 9er game.

[Wallcrawler]

Quinn had 19 sacks last year, and got his first today, but only because they tried to block him solo with just the TE with no help from the tackle. It was a gimme sack if there ever was one.

He seems to be the second coming of Eric Hicks in the sack department. One great season and once people figure him out, he's invisible.

[Why Not?]

Tre Mason looks like he may be a good player. Benny Cunnigham is ok. Stacy is being exposed as kind of a really poor man's Brandon Jacobs.

Not even close to JC and Knile Davis. Has Austin Davis played a road game against a decent defense? 27-13 Chiefs.

[Wallcrawler]

Not sure what Davis has done this season but against the Seahawks he was basically Alex Smith. He was like 13/14 for 77 yards and a td at one point, and then on the drive where they scored their final TD, they finally opened it up and he hit guys for 14, 18, and 38 yards through the air.

They keep the reigns on him apparently due to some poor decisions that led to their lead against the niners getting blown, and against the Seahawks today he was serviceable and did enough to win the game when it was needed, but for 3 and 1/2 quarters, it was all checkdowns.

[tk13]

The Chiefs have not lost to the Rams since 1994. They haven't played each other in Arrowhead since 2002. Over the last four meetings, the Chiefs have outscored the Rams 161-74. We'll need to score 40 points to maintain that pace.

Davis hasn't played an away game at a stadium like Arrowhead. His game against the Hawks was at home.
