i'm surprised to see that no one posted on here about the game.
i was worried about a letdown after the GB win, but i was thrilled with how they came out strong and were in total control of things the entire game.
the offense was solid. they had some stalled possessions, but they dictated the game for the most part. i'm a bit concerned with AP's recent performances. i know he scored twice, but he hasn't been over 100 yards since week 1. i don't think he's even been over 90. having favre is certainly a cause of that and he did run better today than in recent weeks, but he's going to face 2 very difficult teams coming up. the rushing title may be hard to get this season. favre looked great, only 1 mistake pass. the receivers are making some great catches, especially on 3rd down.
the defense (mostly the secondary) continues to worry me. a weak rams offense (24 points all year coming in) led by kyle boller moved up and down the field with relative ease in the first half and some of the second. we caught some huge breaks with their own ineptitude. 3 turnovers in our red zone killed them. maybe the secondary plays down to competition or something. the defense is our weakest spot and they're going to be tested these next 3 games BIG TIME. flacco and roethlisberger are studs. our undefeated record is probably going to take a hit. we have to have next week's game. there won't be much complaining with a loss in pittsburgh. definitely need improvement.
we only had 5 penalties today. i think that area has improved a lot, even though we're the 7th most penalized team in the league. chilly's teams have always committed lots of penalties.
overall, a good game. the rams are terrible, but look to be improving. they did what they had to do. now the big game is coming next week!
