Rooting interest for week 17 and 18

[oldnotdead]

LMFAO No matter how well things go there are always people who have to doom and gloom. Geez I bet they are the same ones that thought the Rams were a 3-5 win team back in September. Now they are if and but's about needing to shade the Ram's chances of geting into the playoffs instead of enjoying the fact that the Rams control their own destiny. It's just that simple. If they can't beat DC and the Niners in the last games maybe they don't deserve to get in.

I think they stand a very good chance against the Niners. Beat them and guess what? It means they can beat anyone in the NFL.

Yea I see it the same way.

I would take a ticket to the dance if the Niners bail and rest their starters.

But otherwise, so be it. We are playing really tight football right now. F The Niners.

We have the firepower and physicality to beat the Niners as we saw vs the Ravens.

If we play our A game we will beat them. Then we are the darkhorse no one wants to play.

I particularly like our run defense vs the Niners and also like our interior pass rush vs their subpar Oline.

Not to mention division Rivals always play each other close. Mcvay knows everything Shanny is trying to do and vice versa.

There is no scenario where I root for the Niners tomorrow.

We cant to knock them out of the #1 seed if they win the next two games.

 

[Rams8821]

Have you watched Seattle past 2 games???? Steel lers gonna whip them and it ain't gonna be close.

 

[Rams8821]

And GB??? They needed a last second FG to beat the Panthers. Relax everyone, I've been saying this since week 1. This IS a playoff team and not only that we are playing the best ball of anyone in the NFC.
Ravens roll tonight.

Merry Christmas Ramily.

 

[Q729]

Would have been sweet if GB didn't pull that off though.

I'm lost, I keep hearing we are the controllers of our own destiny, yet we need certain teams to lose to get in?

We are. The original poster was making the assumption that we lose to the 49ers in week 18.

If we win out we are in. If we lose to the 9ers we need help.

Am I the only one getting server errors when trying to post?

I am working to resolve this.

If we win out - we are in

However, if we only win 1 game then we need help

 

[Mojo Ram]

I was a 10-7 guy back in August
so my plans are to win out….and mock the 3 win crowd who laughed at me when we were
3-6

Isn't it still a 95% chance we are in even with a loss to the niners? We swept the Seahawks, so I don't know how they would effect our playoff chances, and Vikings have already lost enough to be out, I believe. Seems like we're worrying a bit much for a possible 5% chance of being booted out.

When the Ravens beat the Niners we will have the answer to the start or sit in week 18 portion of this discussion.

 

[AppeasFBlGods]

Using a playoff predictor.. it seems like if the rams beat ny but lose to the 49ers.. the real dangerous team is the packers. They own the tiebreaker. So if Seattle wins out.. and the Packers do.. rams are out. But if the Packers lose.. the rams have the tiebreaker over other teams like Minnesota. And if Seattle drops one the rams move up a seed

 

[Ellard80]

No way the 49ers rest players. Analysts are saying this too. They have the chance to knock us out of the playoffs......no way the rest players.

Not trying to be a dick but I really don't see how any analysts would be even talking about that right now.

Doesn't seem like a talking point yet. Also, why would the 49ners want us out of the playoffs? They have beat us like 10/11 times we have played... seems like they'd want us to be in the playoffs.

Also as I mentioned to you in another post....I'm not sure I can think of an NFL team that hasn't sat their players in a similar situation the past 10-15 years.

This is why the NFL has to do magic tricks with the schedule the last day.. because they know teams won't play anyone if they have clinched.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Yea its getting a bit like where is Waldo. Waldo being that team we need to win.

But I am simplifying it to this. Root for the Niners vs the Ravens. Then they rest starters vs us and we win out.

Also, we can beat the Niners if we play our game. We shut the run down, their Oline is suspect and our offense is humming, which a physical brand to match whatever they bring.

I will never root for the Whiners, fuck them.

I don't understand the reason to call us folks out that said 3-5 wins. I know I did, but I'm happy as can be to be wrong. How in the hell do you know what we are all thinking? I don't have any doom or gloom predictions but would just like things to break our way so we aren't fighting for a playoff berth thru a must win vs the Whiners. Can we win? Of course we can, but if the Whiners play their starters, its gonna be a tough out for either team. Saying they don't deserve to get in if they don't beat the Whiners is the dumbest shit I've read in this comment. They are tied for the BEST record in the NFL regardless of how much we all hate those fuckers. I personally just want us to win every game regardless of what is going on with other NFL teams. You've had some bad takes before but this is up there. Bravo!

However your take has much better tact than to go after fans that had doubts early on and to box them all in as finding ways to throw shade at the playoff chances. I agree, we can beat the Whiners, but those games are always a fuckin slug fest and I expect the same if they play their starters. I'll root my ass off as the Rams put their best effort forward to beat that piece of shit team.

Even the ones who already admitted they are wrong? Kind of an ass move but you do you I guess. Be different if you were mocking the media and other non-Rams fans naysayers. By the way, I didn't laugh at you
