Happier Thoughts

Watching the Rams, and talking about the Rams all week, has had me in a lousy mood. I'm in the mood now to write a post that doesn't have the words M___ B______ in it. Here were things that I liked seeing -- keeping in mind that I missed most of the second half:

- Antonio Pittman really responded to Haslett's challenge, and played over his head. He gave the offense a spark, and seems to be on the same page with the coach. He even made the offensive line look good for a quarter. He should be kept on the island - the perfect example of what a backup running back should be.

- I liked the offensive playcalling of the first 15 plays and into the early second quarter. I don't know if Saunders can succeed long-term without the mammoth offensive lines he had in KC and Washington, but it was starting to look okay.

- OJ Atogwe and Jason Craft combined for a truly sweet defensive play at the end of Gore's breakout run. Atogwe is a player, and Craft was in the right place at the right time.

- Darby got touches and didn't leave them on the ground.

- I raked a lot of leaves, and saw a bitchin sunset.
