The official Rams season prediction thread

[Lesson]

I am not good at making predictions. I think we'll know more about this team after the first four games and how it performs if any starter misses a significant amount of time.

9-11. No pun haha.

9-11. No pun haha.

16 regular season games.

Wild card.
Divisional.
Conference Championship
Super Bowl

However making the playoffs at 5-11 is crazy.

I think the rookie situation is overrated as an issue. Sure, the safety position is untested, as is the RBs. But the Oline is veteran as is most of the Defense. 2 of our receivers played pretty well at the end of last season, and the TEs will be huge. Add a confident Bradford and I expect we'll win games some of us are counting as losses.

12+

I'll say 10 wins this season and possibly a wild card.

Love it.

Place me squarely in the 12+ category! I think a change in offensive philosophy to a more wide open scheme, a 2nd year in the same system creates a very confident SB who has his break out year and a D that could well end the season in the top 5 makes us division champs hosting a home playoff game.

We leave that stuff to you. I'm in the 8-9 win category. Less than 8 is a disappointment and more than 10 and I'll be thrilled. I think the real 'make-it-or-break-it' season will be next year for many players, coaches, etc. Next year should be Playoffs or Bust.

That's a heavy cross to bear, man. But I guess I'm up to the task.

I'm in the 10-11 win category because I have faith in this coaching staff's ability to get people to play up to and above their talent levels. And there's A LOT of talent around here now. The only problems I can see that would potentially screw that prediction up, are the same ones that everyone sees. Early mistakes and miscues, (i-words), and/or a stretch of just bad luck - similar to when we had that turnover dry spell last year. Other than that, it's game-freaking-on.
