Well technically post week 1 but anyway, first of the week comes from sbnation with having the Rams at #15 overall, up from #23. Below are Ram relevant excerpts.

Stumbled out of the gate
The Seattle Seahawks face the prospect of getting over the hangover surrounding their Super Bowl loss; a Week 1 loss in St. Louis doesn't help that. There was a botched kickoff in the start of overtime that helped the Rams score the go-ahead field goal, followed by a fourth-and-1 attempt by Marshawn Lynch that got stuffed for a loss. Seattle gave up 34 points -- more than any game all of last season -- and struggled to finish in the red zone throughout.

Parity rules
The Chargers looked strong in their opener, coming back from a big early deficit to run away from a tough Detroit Lions team. Philip Rivers and company started strong, but the key for them is to be consistent. At the same time, the Rams got off to a great start knocking off their division rivals in overtime.
 
They probably won't get much talking head credit if they beat the Redskins.

But a victory against the Steelers will probably buy them some street cred, if you care about such things.

The rags can have us at 32 for all I care. Just keep winning baby.

Yup. I agree.

It'll take a lot for the media to change their minds about the Rams. If they win, they'll come around.
;):D

Completely disagree. We're the perfect defense to to make Rodgers look mediocre. If Seattle and Buffalo can eat him up, so can we.

We match up great against Seattle, but not GB. We don't do well against real passing teams. I guess you will find that out in week 4. I give us very little chance of winning that game.

FIFY ;)
I don't see us winning this game either but I think we should give Rodgers enough trouble. Look what we did against Manning last year.

1 game at a time. The only game I want us to be focused on is the Redskins. And the media will rank us wherever the hell they want.....because they will anyway.

I wasn't sure what week it was exactly, but close enough. I'm just very pessimistic about that game. The team should be focused on the skins though, for sure. Starting 2-0 is a huge step in the right direction for the Fisher led Rams.
