Let's be honest here.

It's a tough 4 game stretch... for THEM.

They all have to play the Rams.

I subscribe to the one game at a time philosophy. To be honest as high as I was on the Rams coming into the season I would have thought someone would have beaten them in the first 7 games. They have found a way to win each game so I expect them to be able to do the same. This gauntlet will be a serious test but I trust in McVay and Phillips. I only hope for solid play in all 3 aspects of all 4 games and no more serious injuries.

Brutal 4 game stretch that no other team that I can think of will have this year..I'd love to see 3 of the 4, but not outside the realm of possibility that it might turn out to be a bit of a nightmare...Good news is that the D that I've been looking for all year finally showed up last week...Of course it's possible that they could roll all 4...The REAL Sean will have them ready to play and not take anybody for granted...One game at a time..Best the Pack to start it out...Crowd might surprise because the Pack really travels well...
It will be brutal for the teams we play. As one of the Rams (Kupp?) said a couple of weeks ago, “We don’t experience pressure, we apply it.”

This game against the Packers will come down to Wade Phillips and our D.

We really really need a locked in Wade calling plays like the HOF coach he is.

The packer offense has been pretty hit or miss so as long as they don’t let Rogers run around and make shit up I think they’ll be ok. Rogers is also good at makin the first guy miss so somebody besides AD has to show up.

I think Rodgers is in for a bad day. That is not the quality Packer teams we’ve been used to.

After that, we’ll see.

I am eager to see Mahomes start that Texas Tech run around shit and have his ass blown up by the Mob Squad.

I would think there is no pressure.
The Rams are running away with their division. They just completed a tough three game on the road stretch....3-0.
Nothing to prove to the press.
There is no pressure with these games.

They'll either shut the doubters up , or prove them right . I'd say 3-1 with a tough loss where all the breaks go against them . It happens to the best teams
Any given Sunday - I just want them to come through with a clean bill of health.

McVay hasn’t even coached the team for a season and a half yet and still has won more games than Fisher did in his final 3 seasons.

Yeah, I think we’re in good hands here.

Beat Green Bay and then next week will be next week

I see the Rams finishing 14-2 at worst.

And that’s giving them losses to the Saints and the Chiefs, which I really doubt.

My reasoning?

McVay has them ready for every single game. Ain’t gonna be any trap games on his watch.

And the D is showing signs of cohesion. Bad news for our opponents, indeed.

Plus our ST are now at full strength, with JoJo/Countess no big drop off from Cooper.

Talib should be back for the Lions, too.

This team has a destiny.

One game at a time. The Packers are going to be a hard game with them getting healthy and having a week off. Rams started kinda slow last week with three away games in a row. Some home cooking should help. It looks like a tough stretch. The good thing is that the McVay and the players will be ready to give it their best shot. This Rams team loves to compete.

They better be able to handle the pressure or they're not Super Bowl bound.

The AFC KC game is not so important as a win but the Packers & Saints are far more important involving 2 possible NFC divisional leader when the regular season ends.

Rams win those two games out of the four & the Rams will be in the drivers seat. Does seem to me that most Sports talking heads like Fox Bradshaw & Long think the Saints will take out the Rams without too much of a problem.

.

if the rams do manage to win the next 4 games what's the bet some people will still be saying they haven't beaten anyone yet?

yeah but WE have to play all THOSE teams as well which is something to very concerned about since so far everytime we have faced an elite quarterback as we will be facing in these next four games,our defense was carved and we had to get into a shootout. so far we have come out with a W on all those games but our fortune cant hold out forever.

Our defense will have to step up its game or the Rams will become like the chiefs in the 90's were once the playoffs started,they would have the best record in the NFL but they would go one and done all the time facing the best of the best. that was always a problem with the dolphins as well. Marino would carve defenses up and come out with a W during the regular season but once the playoffs always began,they were exposed. He can tell you firsthand how having a defense that gave up as much as it scored everytime it got on the field,always kept him from winning a superbowl.
