At 6-2, the Rams appear to be one of the top teams in the NFL at this point. However, the schedule is much harder for the second half of the season.

The Rams have the NFC playoff picture within their control as they play every NFC division leader outside themselves before the regular season concludes. If the playoffs started today, the Eagles (8-1), the Saints (6-2), the Vikings (6-2), and the Seahawks (5-3) would all be post-season bound in the NFC. Coincidentally, the Titans (5-3) would also make it in the AFC as the 4th seed.

All these teams are slated to play the Rams in the coming weeks. This indicates that the Rams will not only be controlling their own destiny but the partial fate of 5 other contenders as well.

If the Rams make the playoffs this season, these are likely the same teams they will face so these games will be particularly telling. Can we keep it going?

This fact got me wondering last night whether McVay and Phillips would be bettter off holding back a few of their best plays, saving for the playoffs. But since McVay has been very clear that he wants the team to focus on one game at a time, they will put everything into winning each game and worry about creating anything new if and when they have to play again. This makes better sense as they could rely on improved execution as the team continues to grow. How fun is this?

Obviously you can throw out home/road, except for maybe against Seattle since they have such a great home field advantage..

So beating the Vikings and losing to the Eagles won't surprise anyone

At the rate the Rams are growing . as a Team, week to week, I say we have a great chance of going very deep in the Playoffs, if not all the way to the SB!!(y);):D

I think the more they show opponents, the least likely they'll be able to handle everything. Make 'em prepare for everything....I'm sure McVay and Son of Bum have barely scratched the surface.

It sure will be nice to play at Home for more games in the 2nd half of the season.

We've done amazingly well considering all the road games we've had to play so far... and that game in England may have been considered a Home game, but let's face it,,, that's like a road game times 2.

Home Sweet Home games baby!

I saw a graphic during the game yesterday that show mileage teams have had to travel this year, and the Rams were
#1 on the list with most mileage traveled. One would think less travelling down the stretch should be a big advatnage

The Rams have a very good chance at taking the division. I don't see the seahawks keeping up, thier offense is trash, Wilson scrambles and Wilson chucking a deep ball off of a scramble. And aside from playing AZ (twice) and SF they are going to play stronger teams ATL, JAX, DAL, LA, PHI. All the Rams have to do is win.

So maybe he should have saved that TE sweep for a meaningful game

And the 53 yard bubble screen

McVay has a great offensive mind. He probably comes up with 3-4 different plays while taking a dump lol

I like how we are playing all these fuckers in the coming weeks. Going to be interesting how things shake out.

Would love to have homefield throughout the playoffs!

LA would be nuts!

Maybe playing at home isn't such a good thing. lol

1-2 at home (London game doesn't count)
5-0 on the road. (Including London game)

I was snooping other teams schedules; Philly, New Orleans, Seattle

All teams seem to have tougher games this next half of the season.

Meh just two bad games at home and one we should have won regardless if we played like utter shit!

Damn just so many little things, just one thing changes and we win. Quinn blocking Russel on that run back Kupp not catching that ball.

I guarantee we don't play that bad the rest of the season at home. We might lose but not get owned that bad with 5 turnovers!
