After three weeks this year with a bum leg and the bad overall team performance in Cleveland....5 sacks.
Exactly, and without looking, we've probably passed a little more through 3 games this year.
They're better than they were last year, and if they tighten up as the season rolls on again, this could be a good group.

And their offense has Stafford who is good, and a promising rookie WR...but they're a shell of their former selves as a team. They traded draft picks for players and paid guys heavily...and it won them a SB, but they paid the price. And we're seeing that.
They're a bottom 10-12 team in the NFL.
I agree that the Rams aren't what they once were. I don't think they've reached cupcake status, though. This win kept us from an 0-3 start, which I feel would've tanked our season, but I wouldn't say this win moved the needle much on my hopes.
This win just pushed the panic button back some.
I'm still very worried about a lot of things. Primarily Joe's leg. I still feel we have a good overall team, but a good team with a bad QB is usually going to be a 7-10 type of team, at best.
When is our BYE?
