I guarantee the Rams will beat the Seahawks next week.

[BonifayRam]

This Ram team is not a championship team. I will assure you this team will lose to the Seahawks. They will be lucky to limp into the playoffs.

Sure seems to me this team overall has better things to do in LA than to give a consistent effort week in week out to win. More pressing matters to attend to its obvious.

I have seen this script much too often then throw in that this team that is one of the healthiest team in the NFL injury-wise. There is no accountability......ever!

One guarantee I can make is this team isn't getting my artificial "buy in" again this year.

I'll watch. I'll root. If it's a shit show I'll turn it off. My family deserves a better dad/husband than the one who gets emotionally invested in a fucking football team that gives two fucks about being consistent.

There will be no expectations for greatness or expectations for consistency.

That said, there are two regular season games left.

I hope there is some good and entertaining football left to be played by the Rams.

Another guarantee I can make is my bar is recalibrated. So maybe that is a good thing. Fuck if I know.

Happy holidays everyone.
Be safe!

My thoughts Seahawks are at home. We don't know the weather yet which could be a factor.

Never know which Rams team will show up. Jets have 31st ranked pass defense only Seattle is worse we should have had easily 350-400 yards on them instead no offense for the most part.

The worst part of this thread is the reminder that we win 2 and then lose 1. Why is that so bad is because in playoffs we need to win 6 straight. We are not doing that.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Eh, a lot of talk about Seattle's D getting better. Dunlap addition etc. I watch their games. They haven't gotten much better. They were the worst D in the league and now they're just bad.

The key for them is a healthy Carson with Hyde. That has made them a better team down the stretch.

They'll be more difficult to defend this time around but if the Rams [maybe possibly hopefully] decide in a coaches room that we want to run the ball on them, we can pound them all day and dictate tempo.

 

[badnews]

I can't see it. Hawks have seeding on their minds, and we looked soooooo feeble yesterday.

I think it all comes down to Zona on the last day of the season.

Well Rams had seeding on their minds and look what it did for them

 

[John R]

I think there’s a strong likelihood that we win this game, and maybe even Arizona, but I have zero confidence going forward into the playoffs for any kind of run. This Jets game was a perfect opportunity to put those concerns to rest, but no bueno.

Tell you what @BonifayRam
My 143k RODD says otherwise against your 143k.

Let's bet on this and let the Gods decide the victor!

Rams should just get out of the way & let a team who really wants to have a chance @ a Championship take the Rams NFC #7 seed.

 

[Ellard80]

it's hard to say... that loss was really really bad... the jets were horrible.

Conistency in the nfl this year is not high however - outside the chiefs, everyone is suspect at times. The packers almost lost to jacksonville and got demolished by TB.

We could win the last two games - we have enough talent and coaching on both sides of the ball. But Mcvay has to do a better job of pressing the right buttons, Goff has to not play scared and turnover the ball.

Most of our losses were really because of turnovers - you also don't win many games you get a punt blocked in.

our offensive line is not always great - but most in the league are not always great so thats not different from most teams.

However a lot of the turnovers are from our QB - it's not all his fault, but he has to take the next step or as a team we will never take the next step.

 

[Mackeyser]

Remember when we were the Jets?

Winless, hapless, helpless, hopeless? And then we'd jump up and bite some team in the ass?

We'd spend the week both wondering "where the hell was THAT all season long" as well as "dammit, we're screwing up the draft!"

In 2018, everything came together.

In 2019, based on the Detroit game in 2018 (I don't think it was the Chicago game as many posit), they figured out the 6-1 D and everyone used it after that, but didn't commit to it. Once they saw what Belichick did to us in the Super Bowl, it was nothing, but 6-1 until we figured it out.

In 2020, it's clear that our OL is suspect up the middle and the teams, good or bad with stout interior DLs have given us trouble. THAT will be an issue going forward. Does it define our season? I dunno.

I do know that McVay is learning that the league will push a button until it doesn't work anymore, so he's got to look at this game with both an "uh-oh" as well as a "okay... this has to be addressed NOW"... likely with scheme as we're not changing players at this point in the season.

Both our remaining games can go any way...from blowout wins for us to blowout wins for them and anywhere in between.

The one thing we can't be anymore is surprised. Well, maybe surprised that something happened, but the mechanism won't be a surprise.

The upside? AD was so frustrated that I bet the D in practice this week will be fit to be tied... and I'm pretty sure McVay and the OL coach is gonna light their asses up this week.

I feel your pain, I really hate the person I become during these games! It may help your sanity if you do like me and find out the final score before watching the game. It is like when I use to compete in powerlifting. I would train for three months for a championship and then the day of the meet I could not wait until it was over and I knew how I did.

 

[TexasRam]

The Miami and Jets game show a similar problem that Mcvay has to figure out. Where is the pressure coming from and how do you block it up.

You can’t have free runners at your QB.

Having Blythe go one on one with Quennin Williams is idiotic.

Our only hope is Whitworth back and a strong run game in the postseason with Akers where no one is holding. Drop back game with this Oline is a recipe for disaster.

 

[Classic Rams]

Same. So far I turned off 5 shit-shows in the 2nd quarter. Buffalo, both whiner games, Miami, and the Jets. Though I did tune in later to watch a little of the Buffalo almost-comeback, I'm not wasting my time watching them forget how to play or coach. I'm not putting myself through any stress or misery for 3 hours straight. I could tell the Rams weren't even remotely themselves in the first half of these games and then I was done.

 

[FrantikRam]

The Rams should consider losing one if these games - were 0-4 when going for a three game winning streak this year, so winning our last two games would be the death knell for the playoffs

I need to get on this train. Have a two year old and another on the way. I've gotten better over the years but the way I felt watching all of the Niners and Jets games this year....I need to start turning those off.

 

[badnews]

I don't mean for this to come off the wrong way... but it is possible to watch a terrible game like this last one without getting shitty about it.
That's essentially what I'm always hinting at in the GDT. It's not about wearing rose colored glasses or being a homer - it's about having some perspective about a game and about young guys playing at the highest, most competitive and difficult levels. And accepting that with the ups come downs. Some of you know what my family faces and after putting things in perspective, its just entertainment. In our house, the Rams are an escape. A TV show. They might as well be the Walking Dead or an all-male soap opera. "As the Ball Turns". Like possessions in the redzone, so are the Days of Our Lives....

It really doesn't matter, they're not going any place...

 

[RamFanWA]

So, the win in Seattle is guaranteed, eh? Like the win over the Jets?
