Going into the 2012 season, based on the 2011 records of their opponents, the Rams schedule was rated as the fourth-toughest in the league. Now after playing 14 games, the Rams schedule turns out to be even tougher based on the current records of their ’12 opponents.
Based on the entire 16-game season, the Rams have the third-toughest schedule in the NFL. And why is this a good thing? Because a fluffy schedule would have done the Rams a disservice in the long run, because that’s how you fall in love with a flawed team, and get fooled into dangerous infatuations with players who aren’t quite as good as you think they are.
But there are no illusions for Fisher and Snead to deal with. The Rams have already played eight games against seven teams that would be in the playoffs if the season ended today. Counting the season finale against 9-5 Seattle, that would be nine games against seven potential playoff teams.
