Good to get out of Dodge with a win.
That's how I felt after today's game. That game today is kind of how I would imagine the game would look if it were played in St. Louis. The defense played very well but the offense just looked off, as if seriously affected by crowd noise in a dome.
In any case, we ran the ball pretty well today (you wouldn't know it looking at the box score, but it was a definite improvement). Other than the win itself, that's the best news from the game. Chilo Rachal needs to clean some things up (those penalties are unacceptable), but he did have a few impressive blocks today in the running game. Hopefully, we'll have Matt Forte back for next Monday's game in Dallas. If not, though, I think that Michael Bush showed enough burst and power in the running game that Dallas would likely still key on stopping the run first and foremost and that should open up some opportunities in the passing game.
As always, we will have more analysis (including our personnel breakdown) as the week progresses.
2-1. Bear Down!!!
