Thought we were destined for Dallas. Which I was really hoping for.
Now we are looking at a Cardinal rematch.( if I have this right)
I know a lot can change between now and then.

Just curious who you guys would like to be our first playoff opponent

I could seriously see all 3 of the NFC wild card teams winning against the home division winners

Would never want to play a division opponent in the playoffs, look at us last year with Seattle. But I do believe we are a better team than the Cardinals so I’m OK with that. Cowboys defense is starting to gel.

I sort of figure we'll get the 9ers. Just because. And if Shanny wins he and Garoppolo will of course shit the bed vs whoever they get next.

Murray took a hell of a shot on the pass deflection play toward end of game
and appeared to still be a bit limpy from Ram game.
I honestly think the Cardinals best football is behind them.
So I would agree with you, that we are the better team, right now.

Can't believe the no call. Murray absolutely leveled

Agreed. Nothing automatic in the NFC this year. Every team has ability
to make noise.

I think it was because he was out of the pocket

We will have to go win at Lambo which seems pretty unlikely. Especially given GB will be getting back 3 monsters for the playoffs: Bakhtiari, Zaire Alexander, and Zadarius Smith. Three pro bowl players. Insane they've been able to keep winning like they have given all their injuries. I have a feeling GB comes out of the NFC this year unless we go on a serious tear.

What didn't they call? He jumped into the air to bat the pass and when he landed he ran into Murray. I don't see how he could have avoided it, given the leap to bat down the pass. It wasn't helmet to helmet.

Rams must take care of business and get that momentum through December, playoffs and the Super Bowl. Momentum is everything. Destroy the next team on the schedule one at a time and don't look too far ahead. All teams in the playoffs are equal during this time.

It's the cream that rises to the top. It's more than likely either the Cardinals or 49'ers that the Rams are going to face in the first match. Rams will need to go all out from this point out.

If the Rams are to face against the 49'ers in the playoffs and the last game of the season, McVay need to beat them or else McVay is Kyle Shanahan's bitch.

I think Murrays high ankle sprain is hindering him-- a half step too slow

I might be delusional that if the Rams don’t win the division, I would rather the Rams face the Cowgirls..The next weakest might be the Ca4ds.

Likely 1st round matchup vs Cardinals. Yummy.

Then likely to Lambeau. Gross.
I think you can beat the Pack if you get them in the NFCCG, but not if they are coming off their bye in the divisional game... That week of rest is a real advantage that is tough to overcome.

Personally, I would prefer that the Rams not play in Green Bay or Dallas in their 1st Game!!!
