Yea I see us as being between 7-9 wins...but a few notes on what these idiots did...
Had the Rams going 2-4 in the division - our worst case there will be 3-3 as Fisher has proven we can win in the division
Have the Rams going 0-4 against the AFC - obviously at the Patriots will more than likely be a loss. At the Jets - more of a toss up but I'm fine with predicting a loss there. Home for the Bills and Dolphins, teams similar to us? It's Fisher and we usually lose a few games we should win, but those should be predicted as wins. Stupid.
Have the Rams going 1-3 against the NFC South - home for the Panthers - if you know Fisher and how he can get up for big games, this is a predicted W. At Tampa Bay - can't even remember the last time we lost to them - that's a win. Home for Atlanta is a win. Fine with at New Orleans being a loss, but that's definitely a winnable game.
Lions/Giants - we've never beaten Eli Manning and don't expect to in London, but the Lions - we just beat them last year and they lost their best player in the offseason. That's a predicted win.
So my prediction would be: 3-3/2-2/3-1/1-1 for a total of 9 wins. Most of those very, very winnable games.
I don't have a ton of faith given all the obstacles, but it's not hard to see a few of those flipping our way and us going 10-6

Ike Reese ( formal Eagle and sports radio host in Philly ) has the eagles at 6-10, his morning show partner has the Eagles at 7-9. What does that tell ya. These two guys live and breathe Philly sports.

The preseason is a roller coaster and the prediction depends on perceptions. First impressions are pretty big and the Rams have been hit with the out-of-nowhere Havenstein injury, Tre's odd disappearance, etc., that are hiding the positives.
When the schedule was released I penciled in 11-5 by picking a week-by-week winner, assuming the same Rams team was coming back with an equally strong defense, a little better OL due to an extra year's experience, and a new first-pick QB that will struggle but just has to "not suck" to be better than the filth of last year. The initial news has hit almost every assumption negatively, so it's no surprise the perception is down right now.
Perception is shaped a lot by the media, of course. For example Krapperdouche could fumble & bumble every snap his first practice and Chris Berman would get lockjaw from sucking him off so much to make the 49ers appear like a fake Super Bowl contender, because that's his and others' agenda. Goff won't get this treatment since the Rams have few if any media allies, a lot of new L.A. media that distrusts or doesn't know what to make of them yet, and a lot of old enemies. It is what it is, so gotta sort thru the facade to get a real feel of where the team's at. That's why I like to read Rams fans' opinions directly instead.
That said, we've now seen years of this Fisher regime and some items are disturbing since it suggests repeating the same mistakes over and over, the definition of insanity attributed to Dr. Einstein (or Tony Elliott of the Saints). Is the OL shuffling solely due to Rob's sudden injury, or is this going to happen again all the way up to game 1 of the season so there's no time for them to jell as a unit? Is the free safety plan just to let a couple guys that don't appear to be any sort of elite playmakers compete -- the same "least-worst wins" competition we saw at center?
But the positives are there, too. No news is good news on Gurley. Tight end is addition by subtraction, and also addition. Quinn is actually on the field. TJ McDonald has come out of witness protection. Goff is on the field and Foles is not. The Rams haven't signed any worthless old ex-Whiner overpaid crap players.
My browser blocks twit, facebag, and any social media posts -- one of these days I'll post a screenshot of some of the threads here that are just blocked image after blocked image, it's pretty amusing -- so maybe that explains my sunny disposition here, but so far I'm a happy ducky so pass the kool-aid. But maybe I'll round down to 10 wins just in case...

alm:Big joke! I'm not predicting any losses for my favorite team so I'm going to refrain from predicting a record this year but a mentally challenged pigmy from the Amazon jungle could do as good a job as these two bozos. What has happened to reporting of all flavors this past decade??????? GEEEZZZZZ!uke::rant::giveup::redcard::sleepzn)

I'll go with 10-6 Rams with decent QB can win 10 games hell we have won 7 games with horrible QB play smh.
And as far as the two clowns Heath and jack off man they have been giving out a lot of horrible records they had Indy winning only 4 or 5 games Chargers only winning 4 or 5 games. Its almost as if they don't know what every team has done to get better. Oh well it will be fun to see the bandwagon get full midseason lolball:ball:

I'm right there with you. Fisher alone will keep them below .500. Until they get rid of him their losing ways will continue.
