Rams CB Aqib Talib, on NFL Network just now: "I had a great visit with the doctor today. It looks like the week after Thanksgiving, I'll be full speed, ready to go." Rams have a bye in Week 12, then play the Lions Dec. 2, three games from now. They sure could use him.
Their run defense is marginally worse than ours, their ILB’s suck, they haven’t been able to stop TE’s all year, Talib is out and Peters is a tire fire.
I see a lot of misdirection by both teams to try to confuse the pass rush.
Bottomline I think our defense can make a few more stops than theirs can, especially with Kupp our. [Reply]

This! Reid has been in his office (or at the buffet) game planning all week, while Sean has been at the spa in Colorado Springs. Toss in a little “win one for the gipper” in Mahomes’ mind and we got this!!! [Reply]
Listening to Simms and Lefkoe, I'm a little worried about the offense slowing down a bit. Simms says Andy's scheme is good but he's more window dressing than later changes.
Also, once Sammy went out the offense has looked worse. That worries me a bit. [Reply]

Sure, but I think that's all it really needs to be. Make the D run a bit, get them off balance just enough, and then one of our four All Pro weapons can get open and make a play.
Also, I think Andy has been saving some of his best stuff for late. I think this week's SI profile mentioned a Texas Tech play they installed that they haven't even run yet, but it's supposedly one of Patrick's favs.
I've been critical of Andy Reid in the past, but if there's one thing I trust him to do, it's to keep innovating on offense. I don't think he's close to out of ideas. [Reply]
