Well if the Bears win Sunday....

But I didn't see this happening.... I thought for sure I would see some separation by now.

Now every Rams game is so magnified, and I'm a bit worried what they might look like after a 14 day hiatus.
 
That would have been nice if our Kicker would have made an extra point against the Niners, and just one of those field goals against the Eagles..... But he made five PAT's in a row last Sunday.... lol.... So there is cause for optimism..

I said in an earlier post I thought he should just kick off the ball normaly, no kicks like before and that's what he did. They went higher and straighter than before. Saw it in his extra point kicks. He will be fine for our superbowl run.

There was something on you tube that eluded to your exact point, and I dismissed it. But it does make sense about the differences in kicking styles he was using earlier in the season that may have been affecting the height on his field goal kicks.

I noticed it right away on his first kickoff.

Hmmm - no pooch kick. I wonder....

Then after his first extra point, I said to myself .... yep - they told him to knock off the pooch kicks so he can make FGs and Extra Points.

They were a lot higher on all his extra points (just like last year).
 
Saw this coming in the NFC. Every single team had some playoff hope/expectations.

Outside of these 7 you also have the Vikings at 3-3, Dallas at 3-3-1, Panthers at 4-3, Falcons at 3-3 and the Commodes at 3-4.

Commodes only listed because they made the NFCCG last year. The NFC is INSANELY deep....and what's even crazier is, you can make the argument for all 7 of the 5-2 teams to get the #1 seed:

Best point differentials and look like complete teams: Lions, Rams, Seahawks

Has Baker: Bucs

Defending champs: Eagles

Offseason champs: Packers

Injured but might get players back to help and a weak schedule: Niners

Rams have a murderers row of opponents for the last 10 games. If we come out of this division winners the team will be battle tested and ready to make a run.

Not a problem. Go ahead and take the SB odds now. The payout is only going to shrink from here on out.

Yeah, all I can think about is how we should be 7-0 with everyone in our review. But I still think we are in great shape. I don't see us losing more than 4 games (5 max).

Plus, me thinks McSnead is gonna pull something fun off at the trade deadline.

I’d rather be 5-2 and learn from the defensive meltdown vs PHI and the shit start by the offense vs 69ers - than being 7-0 and crowning ourselves kings prematurely.

IMO Rams have had 3 solid wins (Jax, Bal, Ten) and 4 games that truly could have gone either way.

Yes, we had some bad luck vs SFO and Phil.

But the Texans were down only by 5 and had a chance to take the lead with 1st and ten at our 25 with under 2;00 left. Landman saved our butts with the peanut punch. Texans definitely "could" have won that one.

And an argument can be made that the Colts "coulda shoulda" beat us. The WR Mitchell literally gave up a TD on that stupid goal-line fumble... and then Mitchell "gave" us another TD with his penalty on the negated Taylor TD.

My point is, IMO the Rams are playing solid ball and the sky's the limit. But I don't necessarily agree that we "should" be 7-0. Given that we've had 4 "toss-up" games that were crazy close, I think 5-2 seems fair and understandable.

Saints, Whiners, Seahawks, Buccs, Panthers, Cards, Lions, Seahawks, Falcons, Cardinals....

I can see 8 wins remaining finishing at 13-4....I can also see 5 wins down the stretch finishing 10-7.
This year is a strange one.
I fully a expect a loss we should've have lost and a win we shouldn't have gotten.
This team is still a mystery to me.

Fair, I should have said "could be" 7-0.

Agreed. 6-1 to me. We should have beat the Eagles and Niners and lost to the Colts but woulda coulda shoulda doesn’t count.

I would have PREFERRED it had gone that way. Throw in another AFC loss to even it out THEN 5-2 looks REALLY good, having won the most important games on the schedule going into the bye.
