2016 Schedule is going to be brutal

[TexasRam]

When we unleash Murmerball 2.0 teams won't know what hit them.

0-5 yard routes everywhere causing mass confusion and hysteria. And Laughter from opposing defenses. It is then we will strike!!

Are you saying that the head of officiating just might be spending a weekend in a motorhome full of hookers provided by Stan? That only worked for 1 season for Jerry Jones

How dare you disparage those fine young women who are working their way through college - just ask them!

"A whore should be judged by the same criteria as other, professionals offering services for pay--such as dentists, lawyers, hairdressers, physicians, plumbers, etc. Is she professionally competent? Does she give good measure? Is she honest with her clients? It is possible that the percentage of honest and competent whores is higher than that of plumbers and much higher than that of lawyers. And enormously higher than that of professors." - Robert A. Heinlein

I'd add NFL owners to Heinlein's list in the last two lines

We get to the play New England? Good. Let's beat the shit out of those fuckers. And it's doable if Fisher doesn't fuck up this off-season.

4-4 in the division?

6 division games and we were 4-2 this year so why would we go backwards?

Lol..

This post shows up EVERY YEAR.

This is one of the easier schedules we've had in a while.

Division is division....outside of that we play two poor divisions from last year: the NFC South and the AFC East. Split with all of them, beat the Giants and Lions and go 4-2 in the division again - boom 10-6. But we could beat the Saints, Falcons, Bucs, Jets, Bills and Dolphins and be 12-4.

Shameless prediction is that unless Fish and Snead do something drastic with this offense and see a significant spike in scoring

I hope your right on this^ point!! It seems year after year the Rams have one of the toughest. IF not the toughest!!

Nah man...you're not seeing the trend.

We'll beat New England and Carolina handily, then get waxed by the Dolphins, Bills and Bucs to eliminate us from playoff contention.

Well you never know how teams can change from year to year though.

Let's start with the division, where we play two games against strong playoff contenders in Seattle and Arizona. Then the 9ers who were one of few teams that scored less points than us will have Kelly ramping up their offense and undoubtedly providing a significant gain in scoring. From where I'm sitting the NFC West remains one of the toughest divisions in the NFL, it ain't pretty and next year will be nastier than ever.

Extremely tough matchups:
Carolina (Home) - no explanation needed.
New England (Away) - no explanation needed.
New York Jets (Away) - talented and well coached team and it's away.

Tough matchups:
Buffalo (Home) - defense will be nasty in year two of regime after changeover to 3-4.
New Orleans (Away) - always a tough team to play with that offense, and it's in their house.

"Should win" matchups:
Atlanta (Home) - good young defensive coach but is team really on the rise?
Miami (Home) - should see a spike in offensive productivity but first year coach.
Tampa (Away) - another team on the rise with a good young QB in year two, but is Koetter the real deal?

Not a lot of room for error. Three extremely tough matchups plus the divisional lineup is going to make for an extremely difficult schedule. If they go 4-4 in division, for example, plus drop two of the three extremely tough matchups they're at 6 losses.

Shameless prediction is that unless Fish and Snead do something drastic with this offense and see a significant spike in scoring this regime is in its last season.

If we have great QB play we should win the majority of these games. Our defense will be even nastier this year do all we need is to score friggin TD's!

There you go RainRam!Now we're playin Fisher ball.All part of the master plan.

 

[Mackeyser]

Eight division games now?

Apparently, we swept ourselves, thus falling to 4-4 in the division.

We've been beating ourselves for years, I just never figured they'd put it in the schedule...

 

[Gandalf]

So the Rams have the AFC east and NFC south. That's a lot of trips across the country !

But at least their division games are pretty short trips.

I think Dallas dropped there home opener at there new stadium.

We did. In fact, we kind of suck at home. We also have the worst home crowd in the league, too.
