Looks like no one is worried about the Chargers...................except..............................nevermind.

I thought the Chargers have a chance. They are coming off their bye week. At 0-6 they are due for a win. The battle for LA can be their Super Bowl. They played some close games.

They could be as bad as their 0-6 record. Their offense line is a mess which can help the underachieving and injured Rams defensive line. The WR have had the dropsies with no real dominating player. Ladd McConkey coming back after being out could be a little trouble.

Herbert struggling to make up for the offensive line injuries. The Rams get back McDuffy in the secondary. The Rams also got back on track with their running game last week. All in all it looks like the Rams should have a nice comfortable win. I hope that is not a jinx..
Yikes. I hope you didn’t jinx them either.

Seriously, they are not gonna lay down. The Rams should dominate if they do what they are supposed to, but these are the Rams. They give us heart attacks all year long.

i'm Far from guarenting a Rams comfortable win. I usually do not underestimate the Rams opponents. I started the week in that other thread with a be aware of the same things I stated in the first part of this thread. After doing more so called research on the internet It was overwhelmingly bearish on the Chargers. As bad as the Rams injuries are the Chargers are far worse off. The Rams have been playing without Garrett while AD is improving. The only other losses are Turner and Poona. The Rams secondary played well last week without McDuffie who returns. The Chargers have a lot of injuries. The Rams woke up last week and know they have to put together some wins to save the season.

RT joe Alt is very good
RG Cole Strange is under performing.

I'm not saying we CANT win. I'm not saying we SHOULDN'T win. I'm saying going into games thinking we WILL win has ALWAYS been bad for the Rams. Its on our "DNA."

The Mantra always needs to be HUM-BLE. HUM-BLE. HUM-BLE.

Or else you get Arizona Week 6, or 0-13 Jets 2020. Numerous other examples.
 
This is exactly the kind of game that bothers me. The chargers will not go winless. They have to beat someone.

The jets and dolphins games of the past come to mind. I know you remember which games I’m talking about.
Yeah.... The fish couldn't beat the airplanes last week... And dropped me out of survivor... Almost half the season.... Last year was two games!!

Garrett is all bad news but McDuffie is back to limited practice.
Hopefully it turns out to be a blessing in disguise and the team can keep winning until he's back.

Perhaps then a fresh Myles Garrett would be even better to have toward the back half of the schedule and hopeful playoff run while his opponents are beat up.
 
From my viewpoint, this is a "creepy game"...BUT...the Rams will win. I'm just not sure of McVay's approach to this game.

We'll know come Sunday...but I know this needs to happen:

KW AND CORUM NEED TO BE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS ON THE GROUND AND OUT OF THE BACKFIELD!!!

Somewhere in the neighborhood of another 30 touches.
When you have something special going (like a running game that is kicking major ass).
You have a ride the hot hand.
The tight ends are loving it, the offensive line is loving it.
Even the wide receivers understand the plan.
