The Rams ran at will from the opening kickoff. They had 15 rushes for 95 yards - over 6 yards a pop - on their first two drives, sandwiched around a TD drive by the Cowboys offense.
The romosexuals will always find a way to blame Dak

Not arguing, simply pointing out your oversight. Are you having a hard time dealing with that?
It's not an oversight. CBS had the oversight of not mentioning Marinelli in their details. Im here to make sure that oversight was corrected

How many characters do you think they put in for all of the 32 teams they're listing there? How deep do you think this article is supposed to go into detail? But that probably didn't occur to you either...

The Rams "running at will" had absolutely nothing to do with anything the Cowboys offense was or wasn't doing.
:facepalm:
Uh, yes it does. You can't just keep handing the ball off if the other team's offense is getting first downs and scoring. After the TD, Dallas' next 4 drives ended in punts, and lasted a total of 7:00.

So? What about the other 3 quarters? It's not like they scored 30 in the first half.

If Dallas' offense could do anything, the Rams A) don't have the same opportunities and B) have actual pressure to score.

It had a little to do with it.

But the bigger issue was on the defense and the defensive coaches.

I'll post it again, since you obviously missed it:

It started from the opening kickoff and never changed.

Your attempted point fails, miserably.

Your attempts at insight are poor.

So? Seriously? That's what you're now reduced to for being completely wrong?

"So?"

Now it's just sad.

DURRRRRR

The Rams scored 3 points in the first quarter. You know why? Because the Cowboys had a 6 minute scoring drive. If Dallas does anything with either of its first two second quarter drives, the entire complexion of hte game changes.

Idk what to tell you if you don't understand how ball control and scoring limits opposing run games.

And put up over 1/3 draft of their rushing yardage on their first two drives. That had zero to do with ball control or Dallas being tired. It was the start of the game! But it shoots your attempted point go **** so you don't like it.

Oh there's nothing you can "tell me" especially after being proven completely wrong about your totally off-base "assessment".

First of all, the Rams did technically only score three in the first quarter (they kicked another FG about a minute into the 2nd Q) but it wasn't because of ball control by the Cowboys. The Cowboys defense stiffened up inside their own 5 on the first two Rams drives. But the Rams offense just pummeled the Cowboys defense up until that point.

The Rams just churned up time because they were running the ball down our throats to start the game. The Cowboys D started to wear down largely because they got punched in the mouth from the first play and never could stop the Rams.

By the time the Cowboys got the ball a 2nd time, the Rams had already eaten up nearly 2/3rds of the PT up until that point of the game.

I said "So," b/c ypc in the first quarter is irrelevant.
they punted one time all game that's all you need to know about how bad our defense was. expecting your offense to have that same production is insane. Fact is the offense played well due to only having the ball for 24 minutes. The defense was all world bad.

95 yards in two drives show how well the Rams were running the ball, from start to finish. If you want to blind yourself to the truth, you go right ahead. Just keep your nonsense inside your head and stop wasting anyone else's time on this.

Coaching and our power run defense. The Rams were the only team to run the ball 30 plus times against us last year. So now what can the Giants going go do with Shaquan Barkley? The Commanders with Guice. The Eagles with Howard. Do you really think the coaches fixed our power run defense this off season?

Not scared.
Actually the rush D was decent all last year until the Rams debacle.
They allowed 3.8 yards per rush. 400 -1513. Could it be better, yes, but it was not all that bad either. they made stops when they needed to many times.
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/dal/2018.htm

Barkely in his 2 games, 11-28, and the last game, meaningless to us without some of the D playing the entire game, 17-109.

Guice was injured so can't say anything about him, and Howard can be very good. But if we can contain Barkely, we can contain him.

Right. But yards and TOP don't matter, points do.

The Rams had the high TOP, in part, becuase the Cowboys scored so quick (I think I mis-stated that before). Yes, the defense got run over, but the offense did absolutely nothing on their remaining drives in the half, which exaggerated the issue a ton. The Cowboys next 4 drives totaled 64 yards. That is impossible for a defense to overcome, especially against a good offense.

The concern about the defense being worn down is as much a concern about the offense's inability as it is about the defense struggling.

I never said the Rams weren't running the ball well. You can't even read.
