What team, or teams, makes you feel like the Rams will need things to break their way and all phases playing well to get a win in this years post-season?
Me? Well since you asked........
In the AFC its the Steelers and Patriots. Those are two really excellent teams. Both can play great defense, and slay you on offense. If the Rams get to the SB and face one of these two teams I'm on edge up until the SB is over, win or lose!
Nobody else in the AFC would have me worried one bit. Not one bit.
In the NFL it's only the Vikings.
Yeah the Eagles are a tough team, the defense is terrific. But that O is not going to score 30 with Foles, at least not against the Rams. On defense they don't match up well with the Rams style of offense. Plus they may get knocked out in the first game, in which case they are not a worry anyway.
The Saints and Panthers are good but I don't think they can keep up. I may be a wee bit nervous but am confident that the Rams could beat both of them, even on the road. The Saints will struggle v. the Rams run defense, and so will the Panthers. Double whammy for the Panthers is that Newton would be running for his life and probably wouldn't get more than 180 yards passing.
Nobody else that is in/ends up in even moves the needle for me on the worry factor.
So I'm thinking if the Vikings get upset in their first playoff game that the Rams have a very good chance of getting to the SB.
The harsh part of that is they will face two teams that are more seasoned, balanced and playoff experienced. And both teams have great coaches. That said I'd rather see the Steelers than the Patriots.
I hope I see that.
