With the schedule being released on Wednesday I thought it would be a good time to see what everyone thinks are schedule will look like? Who do you think we open against? How many prime time games will we get and who will the opponents be?

My guess is we open up against Detroit on MNF. I think we will have 5 prime time games:

Detroit
Tampa
San Fran
At Seattle
At Green Bay

Not a bad schedule. Only 2 potentially cold-weather games at Packers Nov 28 and Ravens on Jan 2, with the Vikings in a domed stadium. But with Stafford who knows how telling that would be. We know Goff has problems throwing in harsh weather, but with Stafford's stronger arm I don't anticipate the same problem.

This is a good schedule because there won't be any backing into the SB playing this schedule. This is a championship-caliber roster so we as fans need to get used to playing the top-end schedules each year.

Shit at least the last game is at home unlike usual.

Touch ass schedule as it looks now. I want to roll Brady and the fucks in LA! Then again teams that lose in the regular season and play the same team in the post season are like what65-70% to get revenge? It's something like that. So i wouldn't cry to much if we lost.

 

[dang]

Not a fan of those 2 non division road games at the end but we can live with it I guess to host SF and Sea late. Two MNF, 2 SNF and 1 TNF. Two potential late season cold games as well.

In addition TB, DET, @GB, SEA and @BALT. We’ll be seeing a lot of the Rams nationally televised.

Plus those of us in the market will get the game vs the Niners by default

Fuck you Rich Eisen! It would not be great for Tommy Cheater to hoist the Lombardi in our building!

LOL NFLN giving us the 4th highest win total prediction in the NFCW

 

[XXXIVwin]

Looks okay at first glance

First impressions:

--No 3-game stretches of either all-home or all-away games
-- No back to back east coast away games (although the Min and Balt games kinda suck, especially for players)
--3 of first 4 at home, nice
--good to have late bye, and extra rest after MNF and before trip to Lambeau
--only 2 cold weather games (GB and Balt)
--doesn't look like crazy travel, and no international game is a welcome change
--18 week season, great for us fans

All in all looks good to me, bring on the season

 

[Liberator]

Quick look

week 1: win
week 2: win
week 3: win

Two tough games in September but the Rams are usually good early on under McVay. I think we win all three.

Week 4: Win
Week 5: Win
Week 6: Loss
Week 7: Win
Week 8: Win

I don't predict perfect seasons sooooo. Giants gave us a run last year at Sofi and they look improved. Their QB is still bad but the rest of their roster is pretty good. Have to lose eventually.

Week 9: Win
Week 10: Loss
Week 11: Win

Look, keeping it realistic, we aren't going to beat the Niners twice.

Week 13: Win
Week 14: Win
Week 15: Win
Week 16: Win

We play the Seahawks on my birthday!

Week 17: Loss
Week 18: WIN

15-3 see ya at Sofi in February

I think another way to look at the schedule would be as a Bears fan. OMG opening against the Rams?!! No way you start your QB of the future against Donald and this secondary. LMFAO

Also having the Bucs here early is IMO an advantage as the roster should be full strength with a couple of games to iron out kinks with a new QB and DC.

As far as the Niners are concerned as long as they are in contention I think Jimmy G is the QB. This is the toughest division in the NFL and they would be foolish to play a rookie QB who really needs an offensive scheme tailored to him. Lance for all his talents is still raw with limited actual game experience. Playing in the NFL against NFL secondaries is a huge step up from North Dakota State. He played as an RPO QB in college and Jimmy G is a pocket passer. The Niners will have to revamp their offense when they start Trey. I expect the Niners to redshirt Trey at least one year if not two which they can afford because of that 5th year option. They have Rosen behind Jimmy G who is also a pocket passer. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Rosen pushes Jimmy for the start as the current Niners are a perfect fit for him. Trey is like Murray and I expect the Niners to really change their offense to fit his skill set in the same way AZ did for Murray. Like in AZ once they do, Jimmy and Josh aren't fits for that offensive scheme.

Tix are damn near $200 or more plus $30-$40 for parking.

Fuuuuckkkkk that.

Week 6: Loss

You're joking right? Losing to the Giants?

 

[OldSchool]

Funny the whiners reporter just talked about them having to face 3 first overall picks at QB and neglected to mention Stafford and Goff

 

[Liberator]

You're joking right? Losing to the Giants?

We almost did last year and you have to lose sometime. They have a gritty team I think we're probably favourites but, as I said, you have to lose eventually. And I'm sure as shit not saying we lose in primetime to the Seacocks!

 

[Neil039]

I see at least an 11 win season.

 

[bluecoconuts]

Don't see any reason why the Rams can't win the West with that schedule, if we're really among favourites for a Super Bowl run we should be able to roll through that schedule with relative confidence. Obviously any given Sunday, so I'm sort of leaning against trying to make week to week picks, but I'm seeing 12-14 wins if the roster comes together as they hope.

I'll be there.

 

[RhodyRams]

Baltimore could be very cold and wet.

That's what she said

 

[OldSchool]

That's what she said

From what I know of the city if she's there and saying that I suggest running.
