Predictions: Wolford starts, first to 21 wins. I'm not remotely confident. I have no idea what our QB position will look like. But I trust our defense not to get shredded. That will give us a chance.

Riftty Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Is there any history/stat buffs that know what the outcomes have been in the past when the number 1 offenses have meet the number 1 defenses? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goff was full. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four times the #1 scoring defense went up against the #1 scoring offense. Three of those four times the #1 scoring defense won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky_rams Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I’d rather Wolford start over Goff if Wolfords healthier this game for two reasons: It’s cold and he is mobile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny to because Im such an offensive guy but right now Im glad that we have that defense. Feels like as long as I can remember the Rams have been that offense going up against that defense and everyone picks us because we can light up the score and then we get shutdown. Its time to turn the tables lol. Edited January 12, 2021 by stl4life07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 3 hours ago, stl4life07 said: Crazy nugget I just heard. In their career together meaning ARod and Adams seven times they have faced first team all pro cornerbacks for that particular season (Sherman, Norman, Peterson twice, Fuller twice, and Gilmore) the Packers are (1-6) in those games. Now that might not mean anything in this game even though Ramsey is a first team all pro cornerback this season but I like trends and 7 games is a good sample size. I’d just keep that in the back of my mind. Also Ramsey only went up against Adams once it was the first game of his career in 2016. Held Adams to 1 catch for 5yds. Impressive. It means a LOT. Rodgers loves throwing the ball to Adams - even to the point of staring him down on his routes or forcing it to him into coverage from time to time. Now, it has probably gotten better, but he never used to trust any of the other receivers too much, and if he couldn't get the ball to Adams, he would become a completely different player. For this reason, I could never understand why more defensive coordinators didn't just put double coverage on Adams in a lot of situations. The Rodgers-to-Adams connection is very good, but if that is taken away, their passing game isn't too scary at all. I expect Jaylen Ramsey to be able to do that. After that, you just need to stop their running game, and they do have a decent running back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the stat is ARod has thrown the ball to Adams 86 more times than the next target and Adams missed 2 games. So ARod won’t be shy throwing to Adams a lot. I think it’s going to come down to just how well McVay knows LaFleur scheme to be able to counter guys being schemed wide open to make ARod either hold the ball longer or have to make those tight window throws constantly. That’s another story within itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
