While the Rams are Idle on their bye week, these 8 teams can help the Rams in the NFC standings.

Some games have more of an impact than others but for obvious reasons, these are the 8 games that I'm going to be scoreboard watching.

The question is how many of these games will go in the Rams favor? I'm hoping at least 4 of these 8 teams can come away victories.

Yeah... it's time to start looking at these kind of matchups and how they could impact us.

That Saints Seahawks game should be entertaining.
The Cards Seahawks game last week was pretty entertaining as well.....particularly for a 6-6 game.

I love it when less than half way through the season we need other teams and many of them to beat teams we are in competition with to move on, AGAIN. Then usually we lose and the point is mute.
Please end this.

I feel ya @rdlkgliders.. Nothing more frustrating than worrying about other games to help the Rams playoff hopes. 3-4 teams usually have to rely on other teams for help until they take charge of their own fate.

A meltdown loss to the Panthers next Sunday will probably put the final fork in Los Angeles.

We have to change this way of thinking and beat teams not hope for them to lay an egg.
Not directed at you @Ajb44 but an overall observation of the state of Ram fans due to our lack of success over the last several years.

None of these 8 games mean squat if the Rams dont get things turned around next week. The 9 games that will effect the Rams the most are the next 9 on their schedule, 1 week at a time. If the D is healthy and remains that way anything is possible, but the O needs to eat clock and score points to keep the D fresh.

We need to stop worrying about other teams losing and just focus on winning. None of this matters if we lose to the panthers next week.

The Panthers are destroying the Arians brotherhood...I like that, but don't like them finding their game the week before the Rams..'Aints giving the Albatross a good game, but it's not really as close as the score in my eyes...I expect a big 2nd half and a relatively easy win for the Egrets...

The 2 that could mean the most happened, the Rams need to do their part.

The NFC West has not been this winnable in a long time and we start the season giving the Whiners their only win so far and possibly the season and flounder several more losses away. It's too bad. Meanwhile Nick Foles is having a 135 QBR in backup duty.

WTB some real offensive coaches that know what they are doing.

Agreed. We need to do our thing and win games. However, there are a couple teams who we need to lose some games which puts us in a better position getting into the playoffs. Seattle and Arizona losing today really helps because we still have a shot at winning the division.

Wow If the Cowboys beat the Eagles this has been quite the favorable outcome for the Rams on their bye week..

6 out of 8 so far. The Rams got some serious help today without even taking a snap this weekend.
