I’ve heard fans of other teams say “wait till the Rams play a first place schedule next year”, which is an incredibly stupid thing to say, and here’s why:

• every team has to play their division games, plus one division in each conference. That means that the “first place schedule” affects TWO games out of the season.

• this year, our “last place schedule” netted us games against the Vikings and Saints. Enough said lol

Block out the noise brother and enjoy the ride.

And look at the change in playoff teams every year. You never know who's going to be good or bad next year.

I hope the Los Angeles Rams play a first place schedule for the next 25 years!

Yeah that's almost as bad as the announcers saying the player did a good job of getting out of bounds.... when the lock still runs until 2 min left in the first half and 5 min in the 2nd half.

People don't keep updated on the rules and shit.. even when its their job.

Fucking annoying!

Our NFC schedule was brutal... we did have the luxury of playing the AFC south however which is one of the worst divisions in all of football (currently it has the most losses with 35).

Overall though.. the AFC is mostly dogshit.

We did our best contributing four losses. Felt good to sweep that division.

I thought we had a brutal schedule this year: Seattle twice, Dallas when they were good, Philly, Jacksonville, Minnesota, New Orleans, Tennessee. We've been battle tested and played in front of some of the loudest crowds in the NFL.. This team will be ready for the playoffs.

Next Season Schedule already set play the AFC West which is a plus because of less travel and Rams get the Chiefs at home so they have to travel to us.

Yes. These things are not determined by team placement. The Rams had some tough schedules when they were winning less than seven games. That isn't from being in the same division as Seattle when they were at the top of the league.


Saints, Eagles, Jaguars, Vikings. That is about as difficult as it gets outside of your division.

And what has the Patriots punishment for being good so long been? They have a week schedule every year.

Much of that has to do with their division. The Jets, Dolphins & Bills just have not been strong. Every year one team surprises and it was nice to see the Dolphins beat them on Monday Night, however, is anyone going to take the Bills, Dolphins or Jets over the Patriots? IMO, that is why the Pats have had it easy, their division with those three teams have been a joke and Brady & Belichick has faced 750 different combinations at Head Coach in QB in that joke of a division.

Compared to this year I really love our schedule in 2018. No more lousy London trips and no travel to the east coast. Really our boys won't be logging anywhere near as many miles as this past year.
This just ensures we will be winning much closer to home. And I like that!!!!

Diff between a 1st place schedule and last place schedule is two games/ 2 diff opponents.

Rams and Seattle will play the same 14 teams next year with two games being the variables based on where a team finishes in the standings.

Our 2017 resume is pretty solid. Not sure who can look at our schedule and suggest otherwise.
