Rams, 1st place in the NFC !!

[Flint]

The Rams with the best record but the media will figure out a rationale to drop them in team rankings.

Too bad it couldn’t have been any other team, now all the cowboy fans who’ve been sitting quietly listening to the Dak and Garret debates have an excuse to be obnoxious again. Looks like they’ll win that putrid division and they just beat the best team in the league. And they gifted them the Saints only td, Bayless might have an orgasm right there on camera.

And heaven help either of our teams if we have to play Dallas.

Based off of wins

Dallas>New Orleans>Rams

Yeah...I don't think so. Kinda balls-zee after losing to a team that scored 13 little points. But, that's ok!

Going to love watching him rag on Shannon though! That is funny every now and again! Lol

Riiiiiiiight. Dallas has the right defense for your Aints. Better team than really either of the other two? I think not. And with Talib back? G’night Gracie.

You missed the “lulz” at the end.

You stopped short. There was a Lulz at the end of that post.

We'll beat the Saints should we see them again. Just dont put Peter's on Thomas with no safely help and we're fine. Brees is vulnerable to inside pressure. We can scheme for Jordan. Nuff said.

Take care of ourselves now, all it takes is one off day for it to revert.

 

[Steve808]

Well, there are a couple of things I observed and noted tonight and I"m sure McVay and Wade saw it.

The Saints can be torched by the long ball.

The officials suck and we need to adjust to a lack of calls if necessary.

If the Rams rush 5 and collapse the middle of the pocket on passing downs, Brees is pedestrian when that happens.

The Rams need to stop the run in order to make this thing work.

The Cowboys (Randy Gregory) did their best to help the Saints win, although that offsides was BS.

The Rams now control their own destiny. I was about to scream at the possibility of being 15-1 and not having home field advantage.

Not going to count my chickens before they hatch. Rams have two loseable games left on the schedule and the Lions have been known to pull an upset here or there.

Take no prisoners this Sunday! Smash the Lions in to small pieces! Go after them early and break their spirit!

I don't quite know how to say that I am REALLY confident about the rest of the schedule.....without doing something I don't wanna do!

As a past mathematics student I cringe when I see reasoning like this. The transitive property of numbers (i.e., For real numbers A, B, and C; if A>B, and B>C, then A>C) does not apply to feature rich domains like competitive sports or other domains in real life in general. That is because there are simply too many factors (e.g., injuries, game planning, game plan execution, team conditioning, etc.) to account for for such a relatively simple rule. It works for numbers because numbers themselves are a relatively simple domain.

Hopefully Dallas found the key how to clamp down on the Saints' O and showed the league.

The Rams got pressure on Brees. He was getting rid of the ball so quickly that it didn't matter. Having wide open receivers will do that. Talib will be key if the two teams meet again.

I also wonder if the Rams caught the Saints and Brees on a hot streak. Brees was playing great for several weeks. But he's an older QB. Maybe the long season is getting to him, or he is off of his streak now. He looked like a different QB in that game.


The playoff matchup will be the Saints revenge on Dallas and then the Rams revenge on the Saints.

This should be copy and pasted in all sports forums.
Google MMAth. So and so beat so and, so, there fore so and so can beat so and so. But what if so and so beat so and so, but lost to so and so. There for so and so is greater or equal to so and so, and so and so is less than or equal to so and so.

The amazing story of how the Rams rallied their community. Playoff theme right there.

They are already setting it up with a story about it on Sunday.

LOL you have fantastical logic. By that Logic:

Buccaneers>Saints>Rams

Teams can play better early and get worse as the season wears on. Others can get hot in the middle, and others keep getting better as the players continue to execute the system with more precision. Then you have players getting healthy too. Teams have bad games and coaches get out coached.

amen. pressure on the qb means nothing if he has a quick outlet.

the thing that hurt the rams most against the saints was their awful attempts at tackling. watching the cowboys d, no matter who it was, hitting kamara hard and stopping him dead in his tracks really highlights how awful and lackluster the rams d was that day. kamara should always have short gains if defenders show urgency and wrap him up. trying to shoulder him is weak arse technique. have the discipline to take the right angle at him and wrap your arms around him.

if the rbs don't get cheap yards brees will find himself in 3rd and long often. but if coverage is not tight forget about it. everyone on d has to be disciplined to stop them. the cowboys showed every team how to do it but the players have to go out there and do it. full commitment. anyone notice how saints players started dropping balls because they heard footsteps and remembered the last hard hit they absorbed earlier?

just remember kamara's first td against the rams. he was covered by 3 players. there's no way he should have made any type of yardage let alone go in for the td untouched. just a lack of commitment.
