The rams three options in the divisional round are the bears, the cowboys or the seafucks. All pretty much have the same philosophy, run the ball and play strong defense. It will be difficult no matter who they play.

.

Saints are very good vs the run too. Of them all the Shehawks and Eagles are probably the easiest teams to run on for us from a matchup perspective.

What is interesting is the CJ Anderson effect. We have become a much stronger interior zone running team since he came aboard. That might tip the scales a bit vs some of those defenses.

I see many are worried that the Rams might play Chicago in the Div round but please look at their home and away splits. The Bears are dominating at home but on the road they are avg at best! Last week they almost lost, and should have, to the same 49ers the Rams just mollystomped! If this game does happen I love the Rams chances. Anything can happen but playing the Bears at home will make all the difference I believe.
Just win or tie the turnover battle and we win.

Here's what I see ahead:

Houston wins over Indy
Seattle wins easily over Dallas
Baltimore wins over LAC
Philadelphia wins over Chicago;)

This would mean the Rams play Seattle again in LA. The World Champions Eagles will face the Saints in the dome.

I think it goes this way:

Houston over Indy

Chargers over Ravens

Bears over Eagles

Dallas over the Hags

I hope the Chargers take out the Ravens. I wouldn't want the Rams to have to play a running QB that hasn't had his first ACL yet. Lamar Jackson would be like that old Rams/ Falcons matchup when Vick helped put 300 yards rushing on the Rams D.





Running up the middle is the best way to attack the 46 defense.






I don't understand your logic here. 32 points, isn't 32 points. The players that gave up points late, won't be on the field in the playoffs. Plus once the Rams started racking up points they weren't playing as aggressively on defense. This Niner team did beat the Seahawks recently. The Rams defense caused three turnovers on the first three Niners drives. That's the defense to expect in the playoffs. Don't expect the defense that was content to let San Francisco eat up clock on longer drives, when they're up by 20 points.


Agree to disagree. Our defense can't stop teams enough to win games when we can only score about 20 points.
I'm worried.

Hell, I like the Rams at home against any of Bears, Seahawks, or Cowboys.

A part of me is hoping to face each of those teams. But probably the Bears in a revenge game the most.

A rematch vs the Bears will have a FAR different outcome, trust me.

CJ doesn’t have TG’s speed by any stretch but he runs low and seems to bounce off guys between the tackles. The bears are hard to run outside on so maybe attacking up the middle is the way to go.
Put some drives together, don’t turn it over and don’t be afraid to kick fg’s and play field position and the Rams win.

Can we put Gurley in the slot?

I don't believe in the Chargers, ultimately. I think the early east coast start time in the cold against a great defense will break the boys from San Diego. Ravens will turn over Rivers early, and often..imo. RAVENS

Bears should beat the Iggles in Chicago, but you never know about St. Nick. You can't mess with what he has done in crunch time. Still, the Bears defense can be suffocating at Soldiers Field, which we know all about. BEARS

Hawks at Cowboys is going to be a close one, but I think RW can beat that Cowboy's defense. RW is someone we like to hate-on, but I think that midget is special, whose Kryptonite is Aaron Freakin Donald. ShitCHICKENS

Colts @ Texans...Almost don't care about them because neither of them will get past the divisional round. I believe in JJ Watt, more than Andrew Luck. TEXANS

I'll go with this:

Texans (but the Colts with their newfound defense are going to make it a struggle).

Cowboys (they have the defense and linebackers to put pressure on Wilson).

Chargers (better defense and offense than the Ravens).

Bears (Foles doesn't have the magic left to beat a dominant Bears defense).

Lets agree to disagree.

I watched Cowherd this morning. Did you hear him? He said if the Rams play the Cowboys or Seahawks in 2 weeks that the Colosseum will be 60% cowboys fans, and 40% rams fans ... at best! Can that even be possible for a home playoff game?

It's only possible if LA fans don't buy the tix early enough. They should have first shot at buying those, I would think. Wild Card teams don't know where they are playing yet, so they won't be buying early at the coliseum..at least I would thinks so.
