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

Vikings fans sitting on their forums looking at the schedule and counting a win. They've handled Stafford no problem before. Rams OLine is a question after losing their center and were mediocre at guard most of the year. Lost their defensive captain and a few other starters along with their DC and they downgraded at DC. Whitworth is a year older, Kupp is always hurt so is DJax so they'll have Woods and 2 young guys at WR. Two young guys at RB. A TE who is either great for 6 games or just another guy on the roster after that. Their ST were atrocious their punter is declining and will they get the same Rudy Gay from last year or the guy from Tampa that got cut?

It's easy to sit here and look at the schedule with fan bias and rose colored glasses. I just laid out why the Vikings and all the NFCN teams think right now they can beat us easy. Same can be said for reasons within the NFCW. My point which I laid on heavy with sarcasm is that looking at the schedule right now and counting wins and losses is pointless. Sitting here before training camp even opens up and saying who we can and can't beat is pointless. Writing a team off because of our bias towards our own team is folly. Right now every fan base thinks they can win games that you think they can't beat us in.

Thanks and looks good. After a few beers I’d be hopping over the wall and legging it onto the field.

I might pay extra to see that

And that's a fan's prerogative.

I have no problems with people disagreeing with my opinions just that being sarcastic in response is not cool man.

Unless it is in blue font

And I still say Minnesota is going to suck next year lol

 

[RamFan503]

Got it! Season hasn't started and teams are already out of it and won't be a threat.

A little chippy don't yuh think?

A little chippy don't yuh think?

Reading my follow up might give you the whole picture but that’s up to you. As I told him I was being sarcastic but you’re welcome to form your own opinions, that’s what this board is for after all.

Welcome to your opinion. I’ve lost track of when sarcasm is ok and when it’s not. Seems to be one of those moving goal post things. In other words you just assumed I was being an ass instead of being sarcastic. Your prerogative.

 

[fearsomefour]

And looking at his record he's 3-9 career @GB and 5-7 @Chicago though didn't break down what was going on and what week each was. Also there's this:

Im amazed he has three wins vs GB.

 

[Angry Ram]

FIFY

You still don't know the Brady rule? He has generally had at least 6 bye weeks a year plus the actual bye week.

FIFY too.

It's the tone man tone

What you said can easily be construed as you being an ass.

But maybe I am being a little overly sensitive.

My prerogative as a fan lol

August 28th should be interesting, as my brother's a Broncos fan.

I am really looking forward to even preseason this year. I'm always excited just to watch football but quickly want to push past it after a game and a half but I'm genuinely excited to watch all three of these games. Not sure if it's because we didn't have one last season or just because I'm really excited to see our backups and rookies play. Will be really fun watching Wolford and these rookie WRs/TEs play along with seeing what youth on defense will step up and claim a spot. Is it August yet?

 

[Merlin]

I think this team is about to make a run that spans more than one season. IMO we're going to have two outstanding seasons in a row starting this year. Once that's over, though, it'll be time to pay 9 and we'll see how that affects things.

But 2021 and 2022 are poised to be epic. Like GSoT epic. At least that's what it looks like right now through my win colored glasses.

 

[bubbaramfan]

Just bought 2 tix for Rams/Chargers, sejc 300 for 28 bucks each! taking my grand-nephew, 10, who is a charger fan to his 1st NFL game. I'm jazzed!

After the game you should console him with a nice AD99 jersey from the gift shop.

Little twerp is stuck on getting a Bosa jersey, Gonna make him buy me a beer for taking him. We got the "Bad Gandpa" thing going.

Me too. Preseason is awesome TV watch. It’s fun to focus on individual play, rookies, etc.

It looks that way. If things materialize as they appear on paper, by say... week 3.... we should have a pretty good feel for the makeup of the team.
