Well, that went about as well as anyone could have imagined. Offense running and passing well. The O line playing way beyond expectations. Myles Garrett a non-factor. New guys Mike Evans and Kaelon Black kicking major ass, and the sad retreads in Deebo and Dre G making plays all over the field.
Purdy was fairly awesome but for the early pick, hitting a beautiful strike to Demarcus Robinson, and converting a boatload of 3rd downs to Evans. 3 TDs and 1 pick works as he got the bad shit out ot the way early.
Here’s the main reason that Purdy never is thought of as the master QB that he is. 25-34, 205. 3 TDs, 1 int. Spectacular numbers? Of course not. He takes what is there. 3rd down conversions? 7 of 12. THAT is huge. Yeah, a lot of check downs. But better a checkdown than a pick or sack. Speaking of sacks, the Rams had zero. Myles Garrett was gassed after the 1st half.
The newly tooled Raheem Morris defense looked every bit ready to be a force in the league. I don’t even think Morris went too crazy with the looks and blitzes but the Rams were kept off balance through most of the game. And but for the soft call on Lenoir, the DBs and safeties were solid all game.
Tell ya one thing, I really wonder if Sean McVay catches any shit for completely throwing up the white flag with 5 minutes left. Seemed like a pussy move to me, but they really played this whole thing pretty badly.

Hurts pass incomplete short middle to A.Brown was a gift . . . The only way this guy’s name would ever be in lights is if his parents had named him EXIT.
