I don't know if we can beat Buffalo. Even if we don't we'll be fine. I was concerned about a 1-4 start. That won't happen. 2-3 is doable. But 3-2? Well that would be the beginning of a good run.

Think about this. We only have one conference loss. It still be that way no matter what happens Monday night. And by the time we play Seattle two out of the last three we should be healthy and ready to go.

I think the 49ers, while they should be a playoff team, will peter out in the playoffs.(Apologies to anyone named Peter) Age and injuries will take a toll on them. Seattle is still the team to beat, IMO.

Looking at the schedule, is not as easy for the 49ers as I expected. Vikings and Falcons don't look like pushovers. While Tampa and Green Bay for us doesn't look as hard as I expected.

A long way to go. We just gotta survive the early season injuries and we'll get back on track. Win or lose Monday we'll still be fine.

ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Buffalo's defense is not that good bro. Right now they rank 27th. The thing that bugs me is the spread!
The Rams are only favored by 2.5 right now.

We know our Rams have yet to play to their capabilities...BUT IT'S COMING!!! I say it comes Monday!!!
 
2-3 (could've been 1-4) coming out of the gauntlet early schedule.

ONE game out of a Playoff spot behind Seattle with 2 left to play with them.

Soon to get the best pass-rusher in Football back who has made ZERO impact for us thus far.

Adding Ferguson back will help immensely.

We will get our shit together and be a December buzzsaw.

I had us at 2-3, just with these last two games flipped. Beating the NFC opponent was better.

This was my prediction after the Niners debacle.

Giants - W
@Broncos - L
@Eagles - L
Bills - W
Cardinals - W
@Raiders - W
Chargers - W
@Commodes - W
@Cardinals - W
Packers - W
Chiefs - W
@Niners - W
Cowboys - W
@Seahawks - L
@Bucs - W
Seahawks - W

2-3 start, panic everywhere, finish 13-4


Now.....I have to admit, I don't see this happening now. After the Niners game, it wasn't clear that special teams was every bit as bad as last year. Now it is. That said, we need to get hot here and get some wins. One game at a time.

We are 2-0 against bad teams and 0-3 against good teams. If you can call Denver good, which I will given they beat the Jags.

Rev the engine up, figure these god damn penalties and this special teams mess (I would trade for a kicker AND a punter, and I'm not joking), get Garrett back and playing well, and get to 7-3 for the Packers game.

That won't be easy....the Raiders are no joke this year despite the shellacking they got, Washington beat Seattle and the Chargers are playing teams close week to week.

Get to 7-3 with this team full operational, get the Packers monkey off our back and then see where things stand.

13-4 feels out of reach until we see special teams play better, but at this point, get into the dance and get healthy and then take it out on the league.

Had we won that game all this feels a LOT different. So yeah we are 1 game off pace.

Take it one week at a time, beat AZ on Sunday, and get the train rolling.

With Myles Garret playing; we win that game.....he contains the edge so well.

I aint jumping ship. LOT of season left.....

I fully agree. I will say this, though. If they aren't pummeling teams over the next 5 weeks, I'll still be concerned. The Broncos game, the Eagles game, and the Bills game should not have been as close as they were. This team loves to play Marco Polo on offense and defense. It could easily get them burned in the playoffs.

I consider it something to look at too. Something to wring my hands over? No. Something to point as some dangerous trend? No. I look for commonalities. What did those 3 losses......huge leads blown.......have in common? Good opponent? Check. Bizarre plays? Check.

Poor SPECIAL TEAMS play!!

Just Freaking HORRIBLE!! There is NO EXCUSE!! When that is THE NUMBER 1 thing your trying to CORRECT the most !!

It’s a SHAME !!! It is happening on ALL PHASES of special teams as well. The FREAKING start of The BILLS game. Come on MCVAY!!

Then getting conservative at THE END of the GAME in OT !! Play to WIN & pound the ball into THE ENDZONE 2 END The Game !!

When your kicker has missed a FG in each of the last 2 games ??
The Rams got LUCKY when there kicker missed that PAT.

On The Rams 2 point try there was a GAP & perfect time for a draw to Kyren

Good morning! New day! For you old fans of Foreigner, Blue Morning Blue Day?
We lost the game, but the Rams still look like one of the very best teams in the league.
Stafford had no interceptions. How about that last drive to tie the game? We had no doubt that Stafford would ties the game and the terror in the eyes of the Bills defenders said it all.
AD looks like AD. Puka is balling and didn't have a crucial drop like JSN did for the Seachickens.
Landman punches out the ball again in the most crucial moment.
We went toe to toe with maybe the best team in the AFC and came out on the short end.
They all can't end 54-51 with us on top. This was a classic game with lots to be positive about.
I do agree 100% about the special teams play being unacceptable and it's weird that we can't figure it out.

If I were the Commodes and Chargers I would be prepping running the 4 WR deep and having the QB run for 25 yards approach just like this week.

Good thing is we've only lost one game in the NFC. Bad thing is it's a division game. Our Special teams and Defense are very inconsistent. We will know more after the next 5 games. It's looking like we'll be battling for the final wild card spot.
I see a 3-2 record over the next 5 games leaving us 5-5 with 7 to go.
I don't see how we can overcome our special teams and bad tackling on Defense.
 
Relaxing and assuming this team is going to put everything together is just being lazy. They usually do. McVay is that good. But we have some serious problems and we play in the best division in ball.

THAT is coaching. ;)

To some extent I agree. But there are also players who are simply not good enough. Or not smart enough. Or not aware enough in situations. There is a cap on what a coach can do.

Didn't the offense have 7 points at halftime last night?
Haven't they committed several critical penalties to kill drives?
They only scored 24 last week and 7 points week 1.
They rank 13th in points per game.

The offense is not setting the world on fire.
Every unit is underperforming.

Last 12 offensive drives:
7 TDs
2 missed FGs
2 punts
1 drive ended at midfield due to halftime

I think the offense is really coming into form. I think by Thanksgiving (assuming everyone is healthy, they are going to be scoring at will.
