So How Many Wins in 2021?

[Loyal]

FA and the draft are over. We may get a veteran back up or two, but the core is set.
Regular Season 15-2, 3-0 in the Playoffs. SoFi will get it's first Championship banner earned by the Rams.

Chargers slink off to Mexico City and play in that stadium down there...

Aaron Donald makes Brady retire in the playoffs and the NFL worships us for it.

Now it's your turn, what are your predictions? If you say less than 18 wins, you are doing it wrong like
a @Merlin.

 

[Loyal]

I know what you're thinkin', why the two losses? Because we didn't draft Meinerz in the 3rd....

[Ballhawk]

We'll loose the last game because our starters are resting for the playoffs!

 

[Malibu]

12-5. There are some tough games throughout the schedule - our entire division, indy, GB, TB and Balt. If the OL holds up and Stafford projects out to be what McVay and we feel it could be as high as 13-4.

I think we make playoffs and probably go deep into it, but so hard to predict which teams are better and which are worse this year.

 

[Merlin]

I don't want to get all crazy or anything here so gonna go with 17-0.

 

[Mackeyser]

I think 13-4 is our ceiling (winning the second road game in a row is statistically VERY difficult) and 11-6 is our floor barring obvious circumstances.

Make that 20-0, and we're on the same page.

 

[OregonRamsFan]

My thinking is 13 and 4 is the best we can ask for. New players and coaches equal little continuity and that will cost us a game or two.

I’m still worried about our OL more than the Rams are, apparently.

 

[XXXIVwin]

13

 

[ScotsRam]

Assuming everyone stays healthy, the floor is 10-11 wins. That's a big assumption.

I'm hoping Rodgers doesnt get it sorted with the Pack. If he is playing for them I think the NFC still goes through there. If not, then itll be a scrap between ourselves and Tampa. I dont think anyone else is as good.

 

[HX76]

12-5

 

[fearsomefour]

I was pessimistic last year and said 8-8 or 9-7 with so much unproven on D.
More optimistic this year.
I will go 11-6.
The big concern for me this year is Morris taking over the D.
I don’t have a ton of faith in him being as great as Staley was.
An improvement in the offense and ST could well offset any growing pains on D.

 

[12intheBox]

I think the Rams are going to be a very toss loss this year. They won’t play a game that they can’t win or where they are just outmatched in either side of the ball - but they will probably find a way to choke a few away. A bad turnover or two, a few bad calls, that kind of thing. 14-3 regular season.

 

[FaulkSF]

Chicago - Win 1-0
At Indianapolis - Win 2-0
Tampa Bay - Loss 2-1: When we won last year, the Bucs were not playing at their full potential.
Arizona - Win 3-1
At Seattle - Loss 3-2: Short week for both clubs. Seattle pulls out a high scoring close one.
At NYG Win 4-2
Detroit Win 5-2
At Houston Win 6-2
Tennessee Loss 6-3: I'm still uncertain we can stop Tennessee with King Henry running behind this line. Our linebacker corps is not built to play against a power run team.
At SF Win 7-3: McVay finally beats Shanny. The difference is Stafford.
BYE
At GB Win 8-3: I like our odds coming after a bye.
Jax Win 9-3
At AZ Win 10-3
Sea Win 11-3: Wussell will see AD's ghost.
At Min Win 12-3
At Bal Lose 12-4: Again we don't play well against a power run team.
SF: Lose 12-5: We will have the tie breaker with our win over GB. We rest our starters and cruise to the playoffs with the second seed locked up.

8-9

Wait!! That's 14-3 not 8-9!!!!

Postseason? Win, win, win.

 

[snackdaddy]

Hard to say. We're certainly capable of 14 or 15 wins. But shit happens in the NFL. I think we'll win 12 or 13. If Rogers goes to an AFC team I think we're a top 2 team in the NFC.

 

[Memento]

20-0, obviously.

 

[oldnotdead]

There isn't a team this Rams team can't beat. That said I always allow one or two games for bad luck, bad officials, or mistakes by the Rams. I still think the Rams are their own worst enemy and if they don't self-destruct and play their A-game every week they can go undefeated all the way through the Super Bowl. Look at the way this team has been built. Now with Stafford, I don't see those games with anemic offensive production. The offense lost most of those games last year by simply not producing. Part was at QB but it was in other areas as well such as the execution of the run blocking was inconsistent. So with Stafford now QB and Carberry now the o-line coach, those areas should be resolved.

So once again I honestly hope for 17-0 during the regular season with the #1 seed so they play at SoFi all during the playoffs. With an extra-long season that extra week of rest will be important. It's why I don't anticipate them resting players this year. So hell yeah 20-0 this year. Definitely no worse than 14-3 (mistakes and refs).
