Optimism still here: Rams will beat Seahawks

[AvengerRam]

Under McVay, the Rams are 8-5 against the Seahawks. Even last year, with all our problems, we played them to the wire, losing one game on a last second drive and the other in OT.

So, I’m getting my prediction in now:

Rams 24
Seahawks 20

I' might as well go ahead and offer my final score for week 1 here also -

Rams 33
Hags 27

I think we're going to score a lot of points this year, enough to make it a fun season and more competitive than most are expecting.
Our Defense and STs are going make a lot of mistakes and give up lots of points, but our offense will be cooking, imo.

Looking forward to playing them fully healthy. But if we can't put a rush on Geno he will connect on almost everything.

We still haven’t shown we can stop the run as well. Pete loves to run and with a scrambling QB, I can see them dropping at least 400 yards of offense on us.

We can't stop the run, but at least we can get after the Q--well no we can't do that either. :/

I don’t know about the final score, but if our online can gel, I’m taking the over.

As long as Stafford stays healthy, they have a chance if Bennett has to play forget about it.

Perhaps mods can edit thread title to "Week 1 Predictions: Rams vs Seahawks".

Spoiler: maybe it's just me, but

OP, I'm a fan of your takes, just not a fan of sensational journalism. Feels like you are getting "Preachy" lately. Let me walk in. Look around. Find a good seat at the bar. Let me get a beer in me first. Then, once the alcohol is kicking in, we can start talking about our feelings. "Loud Drunk" syndrome doesn't become you.

I honestly don't have a prediction on the score or the outcome.
Anxious to see our 1st string starters. I hope our O-line is really good this year. I hope we're still in the game
I hope I get my money's worth out of the Sunday Ticket purchase.

Suck for, uh, what rhymes with Caleb Williams?

 

[Ram65]

I stopped making score predictions 2-3 years ago. Maybe I'll start up again.

I got two weeks to think about it.

When will McVay announce his starting lineup?

I’m fine if the Mods want to make this a simple prediction thread. My comment on “optimism” was simply a reaction to a poor preseason showing (which, obviously, I don’t feel is predictive of regular season outcomes).

It was a great "comment". I agree with the take. But let's talk football inside the bar. Not outside the bar.

First round is on me!

 

[Tumak61]

Flush the pre season from your minds kids. Regular season is here. First couple weeks will tell us a lot.

 

[rdlkgliders]

No predictions from me, I am just looking forward to seeing what this team looks like in a meaningful football game.

 

[Ram Ts]

This Game 1 might be one of the best chances for an early win. Before injuries and lack of depth becomes an inevitable problem down the road.

 

[den-the-coach]

I hope the Rams can keep things competitive. At this moment I am questioning if the regime still has "IT."

 

[sjm1582002]

After last years opener I think I'll pass.

 

[RamFanWA]

There may be some optimism.... a sliver, maybe.
Last game in 2022 was against Seattle - it went to OT. LAR are now w/o Wagner, Floyd, Ramsey, Rapp. But AD did not play (unsure about Gaines). On offense, Mayfield threw for 147 yds... to Van Jeff, Higbee, Atwell & Akers. Now we have Stafford and Kupp back. Akers ran for 100+.

Maybe McVay comes out like azzhole face with a full slate of game calls, to last until week 3....

I can't predict a score to save my life.... but, I am less depressed after looking at this.

We don't know yet for sure. Preseason isn't starters so I hope that's not an indication. But, that probably will be the weak link it would seem. Let's hope it's better than we think it's going to be.
