Arghh, frustrating game to watch as a Rams fan. Even when we were leading it never felt like we had a handle on that game, and when there was 2 minutes of play time left for Detroit to work with I could just feel it was going to end with a field goal attempt at the very least.

I think there's some promising signs, our secondary seems much improved even though I think toward the end of the game it showed how badly they were outmatched against a team that demands respect from their receiver/s; our OLB's are noticeably better also.

As far as offense goes... I don't think this game is representative of what they could accomplish. Jackson was completely shut out of the game by the Lion's D-Line, but I don't see any reason why he couldn't still be an effective weapon this year, despite age creeping up on him (basically if he's healthy for the majority of the season I'll be happy). Receivers are still lacking, Amendola is a competent slot receiver and Gibson had some moments, but overall this area is still a big problem. Bradford still feels like a victim of his environment, our O-Line was completely outmatched today, and also the aforementioned receiver problem. That said, there were some plain misfired passes in the game that had me pulling my hair out (that under thrown pass to Givens in particular).

Also injuries, please don't let them keep piling up.
