If you watch the St. Louis Rams play, you wonder how they are so successful. Managing time outs? Time of Possession? Turnovers? Rushing Yards? Defense? Special Teams? Irrelevant.
Instead, they have this unrelenting, amazing offense. A long drive is one that lasts six or seven plays. A 40+ yard pass play is pedestrian. They're so fast. According to the commentators of yesterday's game, they don't have audibles, just a ton of WR option routes.
Why do I think they have a good shot?
Minnesota, Green Bay and Atlanta rank 29, 25 and 24 in the NFL in passing defense yards. They've beaten Philly in the recent past in the championship game (2001). Their toughest game will be next week at Philly. Then they have to hit the road at Green Bay (no secondary) or at Minnesota/Atlanta (dome teams). This team has a chance.

you're so wrong
i think in 2001 they had an effective faulk and hakim/proehl
a much better team than the 2004 rams
patriots have shown that ball control and defense wins super bowls
and don't try to refute this by saying the rams won the super bowl
that year they had a good defense and running game to go with their passing offense
this year they have no defense, and no running game to go with the offense
so hit or miss
Easy for you to say two days after the Rams lost...
They also have awful special teams. Imagine if this year's edition had average special teams!
