I don't follow Ben Maller but his take on the Rams is legit

I agree with him we are unpredictable. But there's a lot of that in this year's playoffs. There really isn't a dominant team in the NFC, there's a lot of teams who are great when they put it together.

Watch some Dallas. Or Tampa. I mean you gotta respect the fact that Tampa has Brady but they don't stand out to me at all. Green Bay is scary as an away game but watch some of their games and I'm not all that scared of them. Arizona? Nah they're just more of the same. A lot of similar looking teams to me.

Which is great for us btw. Only worry for us is trying to imagine them winning 4 in a row vs the best. But that applies to a lot of teams this year IMO.
 
If you're going to lose a game that is the one to lose because it didn't hurt you. Now they need to set themselves up for a four game win streak. We all know they can do it. The only one standing in the way is Morris. All he needs to do is play aggressive D from start to finish and simply don't let up on the gas.

There isn't a team in the playoffs that the Rams can't beat and that includes the Niners. They had them beat twice but Morris got scared and shitted his pants. IMO he's the only thing standing in the way of the Rams and the Lombardi. He proved he could shut the Niners down in the first quarter. Then for whatever reason, he never returned to that. In the middle of the Niners running down the Rams throat, he continued to play with a light box. So Shanny kept running. He can't do that again.

If Morris simply plays to his strengths this team can beat any team in the playoffs, including the Niners and GB in Lambo.

Look I’m not a big Morris fan but in reading your posts you put absolutely zero responsibility on our players.

Now I don’t know about you but in watching the 2nd half of that shit show last Sunday with our players bouncing off Niner RBs like rubber bullets I kept waiting for Donald or Floyd or Miller to make a statement, penetrate into the backfield and knock of the those mother fucking RBs on his ass for a 3 or 4 yard loss and fire the rest of the defense up.
That’s what we needed and I’m still waiting. Those guys are just as much to blame. Outside of Miller’s sack they did nothing in the second half.

I dont know man cant agree with this. They have the best running game of all the NFC contenders. They have arguably the best QB, the reigning MVP. Extremely balanced offense that can dominate on the ground or in the air. They have a great OL, and a great defense as well. And they've been smashing teams without 3 All Pro players. They've literally been without their best OL, their best DL, and their best CB. All of whom are back or coming back for the playoffs. Not to mention they have the best record in the NFL. GB is a problem.

I agree, players play. Ramsey gave up the TD on the option pass and the long completion on the tying drive. Tackling sucked after getting a big lead and regardless of the calls the players can play it more aggressively.

All that and the injuries we still have a supremely talented roster who can get it done.
 
When I go into to work early I listen to Ben(rams fan) on Fox Sports radio here locally. What he said about us could lose the first game or end up in the Championship game I just said yesterday to someone at work about the Titans.
 
Aren't we the only undefeated team against teams with a losing record? Sounds like we take care of business when we have to. Not so unpredictable there.

Do not agree. It is somewhat predictable who we will beat.

We seem to own second division and lower first division teams but struggle with elite teams.

I would be surprised if we lost to the Cards.

Yes Rams lost 5 games. All to playoff games. The Rams got beat by the better team (pretty easily) in AZ1, GB, SF1. They F’ed up against TN and SF and lost to good teams. Tighten up and they could have been 14-3 and possibly #1 seed. My point being if they tighten up/play to their potential, the only NFL team I believe can beat them is GB.
 
If Rams are the most talented team in the NFL, then let's do it. Super Bowl!
