Talking heads - Hilarious

It's crazy what so many will say just to get clicks.

1) Off-season: Rams have a superteam, 17-0 maybe. Power rankings 1 or 2 everywhere.

2) Game 1: Beaten badly in 2nd half by 49ers. Overrated, etc. Big drop in expectations. This was a game halfway accross the world. Crazy how fast the narrative changed.

3) Game 2: Blowout of a 1-0 team without 2 of the top 10 players in league playing. And incredible in so many power rankings drop from week 1 to week 2? How does that happen lol.

McVay has been consistent in his coaching approach which is great. Rams are very very well placed after 2 games, and will be better and better as the season progresses.

Maybe I should stay away from the pundits, that said there crazy takes are funny so often.

There's alot of "wanna-bes" out there...so I don't waste my time taking any of them seriously. I've been watching football some 61 years or more. I know what i see...

I've learned to LET IT RIDE!!!

Well all knew we weren't gonna go 17-0. We're not gonna go 16-1. We should win in double digits. Anywhere form 11 to 13 wins. Make the playoffs. Where it goes from there who knows? But we have a roster that can make that run to the Superbowl. As long as the key players stay healthy enough we should see some pretty good stuff on both sides of the ball.

I feel the same way but @Loyal continues to post.

Power Rankings are for entertainment purposes only.

I don't pay attention to them.

Rams play in the best division in football. They face a challenging schedule as do their counterparts in the NFC West. All the 17- 0 talk was outside noise. As the Monday night game showed everyone remaining healthy in your key positions is a huge factor in a team’s success. If the Rams can avoid injuries they have a nucleus on both offense and defense that could once again go deep into the playoffs and compete for a Lombardi. Aaron Donald showed on Monday night just how much he disrupts and offensive game plan by forcing teams to commit two blockers minimum each play to try to stop him. Imagine what this defensive front will do with both Donald and Miles Garrett are in the lineup. Big game coming up on the road against the Broncos.

Every NFL team needs to have two key objectives in a season: A) make the playoffs and B) peak at the end of the season. That requires talent, discipline, health and a commitment to roster tooling.

Of course the thought might have been, this team would IMMEDIATELY take off with the same offensive players from last year and all the new additions on defense. But clearly, that's not how it works. Just like any other team, any year, it takes a few weeks for everything to gell. It doesn't help, and may even extend that gell time, when one of the big additions misses 4 to 6 weeks because of knee surgery and the #1 WR misses time. There's a good chance 3-2 might be a realistic start and then once everybody is back they go on a nice run. It may be a blessing in disguise we don't play Seattle until the last 3 weeks of the season.
