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

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

I've always thought that Kroenke allowed Goodell to kind of screw us over on our schedule with all those International games as part of paying our pentence for getting approval to return back to LA.

Now the NFL is all in on us winning.

It was part of the public deal on the moving it wasn't any screwing. We agreed to a London game each year until the new stadium was open then we were off the rotation for as many years as we were on.

 

[PhillyRam]

Yup, thought the same thing. But Titans is a home SNF game? Ok.

Yeah they have two primetime home games, but all road games are division games. That normally adds a little more difficulty to those games.

 

[PARAM]

Yeah but they're spending Christmas in Minnesota and then New Years in Baltimore that's pretty shitty.

Good. No distractions to take them off their game. They can celebrate Christmas and New Years on February 13th at Sofi!!!

I know some folks who have planned Christmas in July because of Covid Christmas 2020.

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.

Joshua Ballinger Lippincott Rosen vs Jimmy G-String vs The Rook. Let’s hope it takes all of 2021 for the 69ers to navigate that conundrum. I do believe Lance could turn out to be the best QB drafted this year but he will likely need 2 years of training up from his 1 year at NDSU.

I disagree, being away from family for both of those holidays could be a bigger distraction than being at home for even one of them. It could affect the men.

Sure it could. But are we really going to be concerned about not being home for the holidays affecting professional football players? I could think of 53 other things that could have a more negative affect and they all wear a number. I think of all the holidays these guys treasure the most, Superbowl Sunday has to top the list!!

 

[VegasRam]

OK who is in for a for a field cabana game? 24 tickets all inclusive food and beverage (including beer & wine) and right on the side line. split 24 ways $700 each.

I’m in.
which game?

 

[Liberator]

Lol they will just celebrate the holidays later or early. People do it all the time.

 

[JackKirbyFan]

Looking forward to the season--especially the Week 7 game at home against the Lions. That ought to be one of the most fun games of all.

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

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

Fuuuuckkkkk that.

Dude, don't buy single game tix right now. Wait until it's closer towards that game. Who knows, the Texans may suck by then and the resale tix may be a lot cheaper. When I went the Panthers game in 2019, a friend of mine spent that much for nose bleeds the week they were released. I, on the other hand, found a pair of 4th row seats for $55 each the day of.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Interesting the Rams have a harder strength of schedule, off this metric, than division winning suit birds. Just fractionally.

I'll take it. Green Bay and Pittsburgh not getting the easy road this year.

The Rams play some good QBs in 2021. But the middle of the schedule is loaded with ????

Detroit, Houston, Tennessee, SF, Green Bay and Jacksonville. The best QB we might face in that 6 game stretch is Tannehill!!

 

[cvramsfan]

I’m in.
which game?

The Lions or Jags? Doesn't really matter really just need 24 people to commit and pony up.

That Baltimore game worries me more than Green Bay.

Average temperature for Green Bay in November is 20 to 40 degrees.

Could be a snow game though.

That Baltimore game though - if we have one of those cold fronts from Canada - we could be looking at a Minus 20 degrees game that day.

Fricken brrr.

 

[rams1fan]

Great schedule other than both Florida games are in LA. No games near me.

They will suck lol. You're right I didn't buy any yet. I'm hoping some pissed off Texans fan sells their ticket to spite Cal. I can't get over the $30 parking cost tho. Wtf.
