Looks like my Rams pulled out a big comeback too. 14 unanswered points in the 4th quarter. They had a tough time finishing games out last year, so that is a good sign. They scored 27 total, which is also pretty good.

Still, it was a tight game at home against the Cardinals, so hopefully the Cardinals are better this year. If not, it will be another long disappointing season.

As long as the Cards have Fitzgerald, they'll have to go out of their way to be the joke they were last season. Carson Palmer is not exactly a good quarterback, but he's enough steps up from Kevin Kolb et al. to make opponents have to actually show up to get their win. I don't expect the Rams to be a powerhouse this year, and they'll likely have a losing record, but they should be competitive.

I'm not gonna lie, I am hoping for a lot more than that.  They were 7-8-1 last year and 4-1-1 in the division.  They had trouble at the end of games last year, and ended up losing (and tying) a couple of winnable games.  They were the youngest team in the league last year and are again this year, but I am hoping that another year of experence and another year with Fisher will fix that.

They have a very good front seven.  They tied for most sacks in the league last year.  It "should" be an improved offense with the added weapons.  We shall see I guess.
