Rams control their destiny

[XXXIVwin]

If the Rams were to win out the rest of their games, they'd be guaranteed NFC West champs.

Being only 1 game back in loss column, they can win tiebreak over SF and SEA if they sweep. And now that AZ has dropped to 2-4 today with a loss to GB, Rams could leap ahead of them with a head-to-head rematch win.

Just sayin.

Rams are missing almost half their starters on offense. When Higbee, Kupp, Puka, J Jackson and Avila come back, Rams could go on a run. Yeah the D is still a liability, but an elite offense could help offset that.

I'm not saying the Rams will go 12-0 the rest of the way. Just reminding us that the NFC West leaders are only 3-3 and within striking distance.

It takes forever to wait for a new season, so I'll look for silver linings anywhere I can. Let's start with a W against the Raiders and see if it's not too late to turn this season around.

but the Cards have a W against the Rams, so they would still be behind them in standings

Brock Bowers looks like the next superstar tight-end-- I see why the Rams tried to move up the draft to draft Brock Bowers. The Rams could have problems containing him, next week.

Right. So Cards own tiebreak vs Rams as of today. But since they both have four losses, and they have one head-to-head matchup left, Rams control their own destiny vs Arizona.

In other words-- If hypothetically the Rams won all the rest of their games, including the rematch vs the Cards in Arizona, the Cards would be guaranteed to have at least one more loss than the Rams.

Oh come on just stick Reeder or Rozeboom on him and forget about it…

Or maybe they can do something new and insert Omar Speights or Hummel​

Chances are the NFC north is gonna have three playoff teams. The only chance we have is winning our division. Obviously there's a lot of season left but that's the way it's looking

 

[XXXIVwin]

C'mon let's look for a bit of optimism somewhere... we can bitch about our ILB's in a dozen other threads

Are you telling me McVay the wonder coach can't win at least a lousy 10 games of 12 and go 11- 6. Its the Rams! Sure he can........

Doom

Gloom

We're 1-4 this is no time for optimism! Vent threads daily fire everybody!

Right now, our focus needs to be on the division. It’s the cleaner path.

Get some guys back healthy… Get hot and close the season on a roll… Win the division and carry that momentum into the playoffs.

On pace for 1,000yds, as a rookie, with Minchew and O’Connell as his QB’s.

O’Connell looks terrible versus the Steelers

O’Connell looks terrible versus the Steelers

Because he is terrible

I can understand being positive but also realistic. We aren’t winning out, stop it.

If only Olivia Dunn would mate with me, we would have the most athletic and beautiful children…

Not happening.

Ahhh....the obligatory "Reeder/Rozeboom" comment.

I'm starting to think it's in the ROD bylaws or something.....

Really don't see it this year. Too many holes in the Secondary and ILB is a mess. Going to need another off season.

 

[majrleaged]

Well, I have to go to Vegas tomorrow. While I am there I am placing a bet that the Rams win the Division. 100 to get 1600. Also they are over under 6.5 wins. I will bet that as well. The only time I bet the rams is prop bets. I really like the over 61/2 games. It should cover the other bet.

I remember people saying it was unrealistic for us to make the playoffs last year as well. So I say FUCK "realistic".

I ain't giving up hope after 5 fucking games when we are going to be getting some players back and healthy.

P.S. Olivia told me she hates pessimistic realists.
