So who are we rooting for this weekend?

[FrantikRam]

Rams can play either the Bears, Cowboys or Seahawks.

Bears IMO have the worst offense but best defense.
Cowboys and Seahawks IMO have the same caliber offense, but IMO Dallas has the better D.

From that perspective, I want Seattle. In reality, I want to win a playoff game, so right there I'm rooting for Philly and Seattle. I think Philly has the best shot to beat New Orleans.

Over in the AFC, I just don't like Baltimore. So I'll be rooting for Chargers. I want the Patriots to lose, and I don't think Houston can do it, which means Indy has to win.

So from that perspective, I'll be rooting for all four road teams - which probably means I'll be in for quite the disappointment.

Honestly, I don't think our opponent matters as much as our own play does. If the offense that played the Bears and Eagles shows up its going to be tough. If they regroup and play like they did leading up to the bye, we should win. I'm hoping the pedigree of the players we have on defense finally shows up.

I do remember how bad the Peyton Manning led Colts team was on defense during the season. Then they turned it around in the playoffs and won the Superbowl. I can see ours doing that with the talent level we have. You can't understate what better talent can do for you.

I'f I'm being honest, I wouldn't want to play the Bears again. I also don't want to play an away game. So that means I'm rooting against the Bears and the Saints. But I know some teams morph into real competition when playoffs hit, so in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter all that much.

 

[RamsJunkie]

I would like to play the cowboys just because I'm surrounded by cowboys fans where I live and all my friends are cowboys fans I want to shut them up.

 

[majrleaged]

Easy for me. Rooting for the Bears and Seattle. Don't think the Eagles have a chance against NO. AFC, don't really care.

 

[RamWoodie]

Doesn't matter to me who the Rams play. They have to beat whoever it is. If you take anyone lightly you can find yourself out!

My only concern for the Rams is that they be ready, focused, and sharp on both sides of the ball...but DEFENSE concerns me most.

The D' has a great pass rush...BUT...they have to focus on stuffing the run because the word is out...and it says "YOU CAN RUN ON THE RAM DEFENSE".

For us Ram fans to not be concerned about this is to be in DENIAL. Wade has to get this fact addressed because every team the Rams could face have a strong running game...and defenses that present problems to a greater or lesser degree!

IT'S PLAYOFF TIME...AND DEFENSE MATTERS!!!

It doesn’t matter who we play but why do you use “IMO” after every statement? I don’t understand why people do that, is it a disclaimer?

I assume when someone posts on a forum that is their opinion.

Don’t know how I got into a English and composition subject just something that’s been on my mind for a while. Lol

Lol I used it too much though for sure. Was typing fast at work and didn't reread it before hit send.

My least favorite type of person is the "know it all" - I have posted on several different forums and some people speak their opinion as fact. It's a fine line, but there are several people who you will not convince that they are wrong - I try not to be that person so I lean toward overusing the "IMO".

 

[den-the-coach]

Rooting for the Eagles and Cowboys, I prefer not to see the Bears again, but if that is the case so be it. Bears most likely win and many will love the Seahawks on the road, but somehow I can see Dallas squeaking that out.

 

[PhillyRam]

Rams vs Dallas could be like playing a road game. Lots of Cowgirl fans in SoCal.

 

[12intheBox]

I think of the Bears, Cowboys, and Seahawks - the Cowboys are the weakest team. All 3 teams match up fairly well against us though.

 

[Angry Ram]

Dallas, Chicago.

I dont want the shitbirds to have the taste of success.

AFC...Texans, then Chargers.

 

[IE Rams]

Amen! The only thing better than the shitkickers losing is the Rams beating them.

And to answer the question, I’d rather play Dallas, then the iggles for the conference championship.

Don’t care about the AFC

 

[RamsSince1969]

#1 for me, no matter who we play: FAIR CATCH EVERY FRICKEN PUNT and we will be o.k.. Please, for the love of God, no hero antics just fundamental football. I see it's another night game for us and we get a case of the fumbles and slips on that dewy field.

 

[Merlin]

I'd like the Bears to lose but tbh I could care less. Rams are going to have to do one thing to get through this playoff field: quit getting gashed so easily in the run game. If they don't do that, it's going to be one and done.

Their hopes come down to their defense doing their jobs vs the run. Offense is going to be fine, they'll get stifled here and there it's the playoffs. Secondary has improved greatly with Talib's return. Run defense is the story for us IMO.

 

[OldSchool]

Bring em all on! Only team I would hesitate about is Dallas.

 

[I like Rams]

The only team that can beat us is ourselves, which is how we lost 2 of the 3 games. Stick to our assignments and do the EXACT OPPOSITE of whatever the F we did last bye week, we should win against anybody. Having Anderson right now is a great Xmas present as well.

 

[RamWoodie]

Bring them on whoever it is! No team exist that the Rams cannot beat!

One thing I want to see incorporated into the offense is the "sight adjust" call for the benefit of Goff since he seems to have problems seeing some blitzes. He should be able to call that to any receiver on the field.

That's something I see that's missing from the audibles because I have yet to see it done.

I'm happy to see Cooks at 100% too!

 

[Ram65]

It's a tough call but, I'll play the game.

Get the Bears out as soon as possible. Eagles could give them a game.

Cowboys run hot and cold. I would rather they beat the Hags.

I like to see good games in the AFC

Ugh - didn’t think of that. If our home game looks or sounds anything like an away game I’m going to be pretty upset - no matter who we play.
