Battle For LA - Landlord vs Tennant

[bubbaramfan]

Rams first real test coming up Sunday. Chargers and P Rivers are no slouch. Rivers will be big test for Rams DB's. J Gordon can run the ball. They have some good WR's and TE's. Bosa may be back.

Visited Chargers official fan forum, Chargers officially shutting it down Sept 28, further alienating what fan base they have left.

With both teams calling the Colesium home, should be a sellout.

The Chargers' home field is Stub Hub Center, although it's not really a NFL caliber stadium. But yes, the Chargers are a good team. And both their fans should be in attendance.

This won't be close because they don't have the defense to keep the game close/winnable for them. Especially up front against the Rams OL right now.

They got into a shootout with KC, but they have no defense themselves right now.

And they beat maybe the worst team outside of AZ which is the Bills.

They will test the defense because of Rivers who can still play but they will fall well short.

This looks like a 30-20 type of game to me. And the Rams could score a little more. I don't think McVay has unpacked his entire playbook yet, not even close actually.

Thx Ak, I stand corrected.:redcard:

I don't know what to think about the Chargers. One week they look unstoppable and the next they look like a 2nd-3rd tier team. From what I saw (against the Bills) is their Oline isn't good, Rivers was hassled all day and they couldn't move the ball in the second half. They tried to give that game away to the Bills but the Bills are so bad they didn't know what to do with it. So it's hard to say what we have in the Chargers. They are an older team with a good QB.

Personally I think they give us a good game until half time and then we take over. Not just because we make great halftime adjustments but because we are the better team all around and that's what better teams are supposed to do. This game will be important to us because i don't want to face the vikings with a 2-1 record and possibly go 2-2 a quarter of the way thru the season. And with those Thursday night games being so lopsided who knows what will happen in that game.

Waiting for PT to post "What Charger fans are saying". All 15 of them.

I think the scoreless streak continues into the 3rd quarter, and the Rams totally own the Carson boys. Chargers are good for an AFC team, but we know aside from a team or two, the conference is second tier to the NFC

 

[PhillyRam]

Good test for our LB's in defending Gordon and their ground game... Also, I expect to see Donald have a big game. Last year it took him a few weeks to get it going and while he has been good thus far, expect a jump this week in his play.

 

[RamsFan47]

Following McVays logic with regards to his use of the Preseason, this game is our dress rehearsal. Expect Sean and Wade to crack open the playbook

J Gordon can run the ball.

yeah, and he can catch it pretty good as well.

the rams will have to keep an eye on him when they play the cheats in the superbowl.

I agree LoyalRam the NFC is stacked, there are 5 teams that could get to the SB and in the AFC it looks like the Patriots and Jags.

L.A. Chargers at L.A. Rams
The Chargers may be one of the best 1-1 teams in the league but the Rams are the NFL's best team and it may not even be close. Chargers rookie first-rounder Derwin James has been been a revelation (two sacks, three passes defended) but the team is still without Joey Bosa and that's a problem when you're facing Jared Goff, Todd Gurley, Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp. There's also that defense, which is allowing 6.5 points per game -- and there's still room for improvement.

Pick: Rams 31, Chargers 27

I haven't even read this thread, just kudos for the title.

An opportunity to see the Chargers against a team with a great offense and a terrible defense.

Here they are playing against one of the worst teams in the NFL.

Watched the first half of the Chiefs game - a couple of the plays that the announcers raved about for the Chargers' offense would have been routine stops or even interceptions for the Rams' secondary.

They have talent but they haven't faced anything like the Rams' defense.
