Week 3: Sunday, Sept. 27, vs. Pittsburgh, 1 p.m. ET

Riding high from opening with a pair of wins, the Rams return home to what will likely be something closer to a neutral venue than a home-field advantage. Pittsburgh fans travel well and were all over the place the last time the Steelers visited St. Louis. That, plus Antonio Brown, is enough to hand the Rams their first loss. Steelers 28, Rams 20. Record: 2-1

Week 4: Sunday, Oct. 4, at Arizona, 4:25 p.m. ET

Diving back into NFC West play, the Rams head out west for the first time and find themselves facing a new-look Arizona defense. The Rams had the Cardinals on the ropes twice last season but couldn't finish either game. Sans the addition of a premiere playmaker in the draft, the Rams get the same result. Cardinals 17, Rams 14. Record: 2-2

Week 9: Sunday, Nov. 8, at Minnesota, 1 p.m. ET

The Rams head north hoping to turn the tables on a team that spanked them in St. Louis in the 2014 season opener. Under Fisher, the Rams have been known for pulling off surprising upsets but also laying surprising eggs. This qualifies as the latter. Vikings 30, Rams 13. Record: 4-4

Week 11: Sunday, Nov. 22, at Baltimore, 1 p.m. ET

The start of a two-game tour of the AFC North is not a pretty one, as Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is able to take advantage of the secondary's struggles defending the long ball. The Rams drop back to .500. Ravens 26, Rams 20. Record: 5-5

Week 14: Sunday, Dec. 13, vs. Detroit, 1 p.m. ET

It was right around this time in 2014 when the Giants and Odell Beckham Jr. came to St. Louis to play a game many expected the Rams to win. Beckham went off and the Giants got the victory. Substitute the Lions and receiver Calvin Johnson this time around. Lions 23, Rams 17. Record: 7-6

Week 16: Sunday, Dec. 27, at Seattle, 4:25 p.m. ET

At least the Rams don't have to end the season with yet another loss in Seattle. But this time, they lose a game they need to remain in playoff contention as the Seahawks wrap up the NFC West by exacting revenge against the Rams for the season opener. Seahawks 17, Rams 9. Record: 8-7

Week 17: Sunday, Jan. 3, at San Francisco, 4:25 p.m. ET

With nothing left to play for, the only real question becomes whether the Rams actually go to the trouble of flying home from Seattle or staying on the West Coast before this game. Either way, the 49ers sneak out a win and send the Rams into an offseason full of uncertainty and without a winning record for a 12th consecutive year. Niners 16, Rams 13. Record: 8-8
Wagoner seems to think we're the same team as last year. Sure we could lose to Rodgers, but our defense will hang with Baltimore's, Pittsburg's and Arizona's. And who said Minnesota had a juggernaut offense? Detroit? Beating us at home? GTFO. If anyone thinks Krapperdink is going to beat the Rams defense ... well, it just won't happen.
 
Ever since we lost to the Jets here in St. Louis in 2012 we shouldn't overlook any team; however, I feel that the worst we can do from this schedule is 8-8 (and that is after we go 1-4 to start the season).
I have a very good feeling we (FINALLY) finish with a winning record; Seeing a 10-6, 11-5 record. Potentially a playoff spot!

I can't see a 1-4 start. Rams tend to own the Hawks here and Rams will beat the Skins. The Steelers will be without Bell. 2-3 or 3-2 I am guessing.
 
it depends on the draft and FA heavily for me

if they can sign blalock, barksdale, or somehow atleast get Guard or tackle fixed, then draft a stud WR and guard/center i'll feel good about this...but i can't judge anything for atleast til after the draft

Yeah, but I think a star CB could add the same value, or even more, than a stud WR. OB Jr's is few and far between. Most take years.
 
This team tends to screw over Vegas odds, one day they'll be pounding the shit out of the Peyton Manning and will be getting ass-handled by a Mark Sanchez-led Jets another. I'm not making any predictions. As for Wagoner's predictions, they're all safe bets based on last year's season.

I like the best 2 out of Gaines, Jenkins, and johnson though....

converesly, we dont have a healthy receiver that a team has to be afraid of outwide

you draft to beat the division right? we don't have a WR that can even threaten Patrick Peterson or Richard Sherman... for them defensively, its 1-on-1 lockdown all day for thhem

we've had 2 touch downs against the seahawks in seattle in the past 3 years IIRC - 1 was a pass?

that offense with its bad o-line and no dangerous receivers is not gonna win us the division.. we averaged 14 points a game vs seattle over the last 6 games (both home and away).....and remember those trick plays - cause the offense sure didn't do it

Also, WTF? a week 6 bye???
that is WAY too early for us.
We have a week 6 bye as well. Also, it looks like the Rams will have a practice and/or scrimmage with the Cowboys in Oxnard @ TC.
 
I have to break the season down into four quarters(four gm's each).

First quarter: Must go 2-2
Second qtr: Must go 3-1
Third qtr: Must go 2-2
Fourth qtr: Must go 3-1

10-6
 

Should be fun. Hopefully, we have the chance to win beat SF and Seattle in the final two weeks at home to wrap up our division title.

Plus, starting the year off beating Seattle would be a major morale booster for us. We'll definitely face some great QBs, though. Gonna be interesting to see how we fare against Rodgers and Roethlisberger. Could tell us how far we could go in the playoffs.(if we make it)

Our DL should be fearsome next year. Would be fun seeing them put a hurting on some of the NFL's best QBs.
 
Grabbed a room in Appleton. Will work on something in Green Bay but most hotels now either blocked or tripled rates. I can drive 30 miles to save $200.

Where are you at?
Yeah you and me both. Found a Hampton Inn a couple of miles from the stadium was going for $600 a night!
 
If we don't go into our bye at least at 3-2, we're heading for an 8-8 season. Again.

Note to Rams players, coaches and new draftees:

Must. Start. Better.
