DFL. Deserved and no place to go but up. Good thing I live in the Bay Area and the whiners are doing lousy. I wouldn't be taking any SHT at all this week, right? Thanks Rams (again).

What are power rankings? Seriously I always though they were an indication of how a team were playing at that time but I saw an MLB one with the Cardinals ranked 6th yesterday, surely after winning 9 of the last 10 they should be higher than that? Is it a reflection of the entire season? Surely you'd just go off the standings for that?

Translation: We had no clue how good these teams were going into the season and...we still don't.

Hard to argue. Any team would have beat the team we put out there on Sunday.

Nowhere to go but up

Espn couldn't wait to put the Rams in last place. Not saying we didn't deserve it after that game, but still.

Rams and Gators lost at sea in a leaky dinghy:

It's a combination of what you've done during the whole season and what you're doing now and who you're playing against. Had we lost to the Seahags I doubt we'd have fallen much. Had we beaten the Browns I doubt we'd have risen much if at all.

Well deserved. Put up the worst showing in the NFL first week.

I honestly think we can't get any worse though. If we can....I may have to become a Broncos fan this season, because sweet baby jesus that'd be hella bad.

I think they smack the Bucs around in response to their embarrassment at the Dome. Well, the D will at least.

NFL.com has us at #31 ahead of the Raiders.

I think as the season goes on, our defense will win us a few games after they figure things out.

Hard to argue with that. Granted, it was just one week...but based on that one week, there's currently not a single team worse than the Rams.

I gotta believe Fisher's coaching and the talent on defense will secure a handful of wins, and we won't finish this way, but that's very optimistic thinking at this point.

I think Tavon will win us at least 1 game like he did last year. It takes one good block for him to take it to the house on ST's. Also, any team that lines up Man to man will get gashed by him as well.

We played an average team from a mediocre division and laid an egg. From what I saw they played the worst overall out of all the NFL teams. I dont expect the Rams to stay down there long though.

That's generous. I wouldn't have guessed we'd be that high after last week.
Let's go ahead and bump that up to 19 by Monday, yeah?
