Throughout the offseason, we send 32 polls to plugged in fans from each team. Los Angeles Rams fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.Last week, our FanPulse results showed that the Los Angeles Rams fan base feels extremely confident in the trajectory of the team coming out of free agency as well as being, strangely, rather certain that the team got better over the last month.Today Brandin Cooks Jersey , we get an even stronger piece of evidence of how much fan allegiance can overcome the most unlikeliest of outcomes.While most sports books aren’t offering many futures on the NFL until after the 2019 NFL Draft, we can expect most if not all to have the Rams as favorites to win the NFC West. But in polling the fan bases from the four NFC West teams (here at TST, Seattle Seahawks fans at Field Gulls, San Francisco 49ers fans at Niners Nation and Arizona Cardinals fans at Revenge of the Birds), only 75% of respondents had the Rams as favorites:Am I being too much of a homer to think that’s too low?I’m not saying it’s a certainty the Rams will win the division. We all know anything can happen in the NFL. But sitting at this point for anyone to suggest the Arizona Cardinals are the favorites to win the division is...something.It’s a good reminder that the passion fans have can often overtake their sensibility. Then again if you needed that reminder, you should probably come hang out in our game threads more often. The Los Angeles Rams are going to the Superbowl after exacting regular season revenge and defeating the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship game. A thrilling overtime game, the Rams beat New Orleans with timely defense, a lucky no-call Ndamukong Suh Jersey , and just enough offense lead by QB Jared Goff. In the 26-23 OT thriller, the Saints put up a heck of an effort to try and get to the Super Bowl and in the end fell just short.Although it’s hard to imagine the Saints not being contenders with QB Drew Brees and the core of Michael Thomas, Marshon Lattimore, Alvin Kamara, and so on, nothing is a given in the NFL.QB Drew BreesBrees had a solid game for the Saints until the last time he touched the ball in overtime. For the game, Brees completed 26/40 passes for 249 yards, two touchdowns Dante Fowler Jersey , and the crucial interception that set up K Greg Zuerlein’s 57-yard field goal. Overall, he finished with a QB rating of 60.1 in the game.LB Demario DavisDavis was all over the field for the Saints. He had 14 total tackles including 1.5 tackles-for-loss. In addition, he was the beneficiary of an interception off a deflection from Rams RB Todd Gurley early in the game.WR Michael ThomasThe Rams did a much better job in containing WR Thomas. He was limited to seven targets, four receptions, and 36 yards. The Rams gave him multiple looks including zone, man with a lurking LB/S, press man, and off man. In the end C.J. Anderson Jersey , Thomas was contained and the return of CB Aqib Talib definitely helped.CB Marshon LattimoreLattimore was relatively busy for the defense with six total tackles. He and the rest of the secondary had their hands full as the Rams passed for over 300 yards. It’s never a good sign to have all the cornerbacks being in the upper half of the tackle leaders for a defense as that’s usually a sign of bigger plays. Lattimore (six), P.J. Williams (eight), and Eli Apple (four) all had a pretty high number of tackles.RBs Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram (bonus)The Rams defense again flexed their run-stuffing muscles limiting the Saints to only 48 yards rushing for the game. Ingram lead the Saints with 31 yards on nine carries while Kamara only rushed for 15 yards on eight carries. That being said, Kamara was the best receiver for the Saints with 96 yards receiving (with 11 receptions). In the end, the Rams did just enough to limit Kamara as a receiver and was able to make New Orleans more one dimensional than they would have liked to be.
