Now that a few are thinking of playoffs

[oldnotdead]

Latter half of the sched gets easier so this is a serious darkhorse team right now.

Absolutely! I can see 7 wins over the last 11 games. We could steal an 8th somewhere along the way. But 10-7 gets you into the playoffs probably with top wildcard seeding which is a very good spot. They'd be on the road but against the weakest division winner. I've always seen this team getting to at least the divisional round. Then anything can happen as we saw in their Super Bowl run in the 2021 season. In the playoffs its all about seeding, 1,2 or 5 is where you want to be.

Regardless of how the season goes, this team has the foundation they hoped for going into the 2024 draft. The offense is set with good RBs, WRs and TEs but most of all a good OL. On defense Young looks like the real deal. Donald will be Donald. Turner was a steal and a very promising successor to AD. Witherspoon is a keeper, and Lake and Yeast look to be rounding into two good safeties. Shelley plays SCB the hardest CB position to play and he's good at it. IMO DK's position is open but I don't discount Tomlinson, Durant or Ojemudia.

They can win with this team right now. They will mature and lock in as the season progresses. NFL watch the fuck out the Rams are BACK!

I predicted 10-7 and playoffs before season started.

If the season ended today…

On point differential we’re 5th best in the NFC.

Let’s keep it going this week!

The NFC is weak

Go Rams

10 wins

I still think it's too early to talk playoffs. If we win the next two weeks that's out the window. But we gotta win first

We already have a starting CB sitting on the PS. Check out Ojemudia's pro football reference stats. Why was Kendrick starting and Michael on the PS? He's 6'1" runs a 4.45 in the 40.

I played JUCO, am 6’1 205 and ran a 4.49.

Does that mean I should start?

Welp, since my preseason prediction was for the Rams to finish at 9-8, I guess the OP wasn't talking about me....Just @Merlin

EDIT: to 9-8. reflecting a 17 game schedule.

I had our ceiling at 8 wins. And the floor at 5 wins. I'm gonna have to revise that now. The next 3 games might tell us more. Pittsburgh and Green Bay are winnable games. Dallas with their pass rush may not be. If they win two of the next 3 I see no reason we can't win 10 games. But they gotta beat those teams that are mid level or worse like Pittsburgh and Green Bay.

I may be in the minority, but I feel like we can handle the Cowgirls. IF WE COMMIT TO THE RUNNING GAME.

Although we don't have Anderson nor Gurley to run for about 250 yards like that glorious 2019 playoff win, the concept is sound. Run some clock. Play action some Kupp-o'- Puka / Coop-o'-Nucua with a pinch of Tutu, and let our defense force Dak into his usual 3 or 4 dumb plays a game.

I like our chances.
