Their remarks are OK... but they put far too much emphasis on the offense, IMO.
They almost ignore our defense, which has been flat gettin' it done lately. I like the last (short) sentence of the blurb... because it's spot-on:
It was actually interesting to see the following comment (when they discussed the Rams) because it showed HOW WELL our offense played vs. a great Rams' defense:

...The (Saints) run defense, with Sheldon Rankins contributing, sure looks better. Look out for these guys.

Taking on the Saints' offense in New Orleans is a tough assignment, even for a fantastic unit like the Rams' defense. But to give up 49 points?! For an idea of how out-of-character that is, consider that Los Angeles had allowed a total of 50 points in the team's previous four games combined. And seven of those points weren't even on the defense, coming via a Landon Collins pick-six in the London loss to the Giants.
