What do you think our final record will be?

[Ramlock]

Every year-

Bills
Dolphins
Jets

AFC South is soft

Texans are decent
Colts ?
Titans
Jags

AFC North
Ravens - OK
Browns not yet
Steelers - 3rd QB
Cinci

West
KC
Raiders?
Bolts haven’t gotten started
Broncos down

Including the Patties, there are 3 teams in the Conference, IMO.

A couple may gel yet.

I think the Rams finish 12-4...new Oline, scheme tweaks come together. On defense, time to gel. 10-6 if they don’t get better CB play on D.

 

[KJD_Ram]

in essence you get 5 or 6 wins just for being in that crap division...you play an entire other AFC division, of which generally only one or two are any good, same with an NFC division...so that's 9 wins...just split your tough games and your looking at 11-5...but, and it pains me to say it, they have the consistency year in and year out with Belicheat and Tammy Brady, and I'd throw in McDaniels....

 

[Ellard80]

I just want to know how the Pats get an easy schedule every year. LOL. Their opponents are a combined, what 5-18? and their next 2 opponents are the Giants and the Jets. a combined 2-7.

Because they play the bills, jets and dolphins 8 times... its not much of a mystery.

 

[Ellard80]

I get what you are going for here.. but I'd say being able to win .764 against your division makes it seem like dat division isn't too good.... false conclusion.

Here is a bit for you off a patriots message board. "The Pats, however, have been less dominant over NFC opponents lately. In the last 5+ years Brady is 6-4 at home against the NFC and 30-0 against the AFC in this timeframe. "

 

[RamFanWA]

Thinking they might go 11-5. Hoping for 13-3.

Willing to split the difference !!!

 

[TexasRam]

If we keep using Troy Reeder as our QB spy and other idiotic strategies then 9-7.

If Wade wakes the hell up then 11-5.

I don’t see our run game improving so 11-5 looks like our ceiling.Barring no Major injuries.

lucky our remaining schedule looks soft.

 

[OldSchool]

3-13

 

[DR RAM]

11-5

 

[Ram77]

Floor 9-7
Ceiling 12-4

So most likely 10-6 or 11-5

 

[96GS#007]

8-8.....just ain't feeling it right now

Beat the 49ers and I lean forward to 10-6. Get smoked and it's some 7-9 bullshit

 

[Da-Rock]

Yeah, I said before 8-8 or 9-7ish, but unless the Rams come out as a new team after the first 5 games, I don't see us beating the 49ers or much of anyone else.

My main thought is with this O-Line, I see Goff injured and then I see Bortles getting killed and throwing more interceptions than Goff.

Our Defense is bottom barrel so no wins generated there......Offense can only throw so maybe one to three wins there.

I see us retooling next year for an O-Line to execute the McVay offense and a new defensive coordinator and two new CBs.

Yea I'm kind of wait and see here too, because the Niners have maybe the best D line and front 7 in the NFL. Can we honestly run on them with our o-line? I really doubt it..if we cant run and we get in predictable passing situations, will we be able to pass protect against that front? I really dont think so, they got some absolute monsters.

Niners are better than the Seahawks I think so this will be a huuuuge challenge. If we drop to 3-3 how many wins do we honestly end up with?

 

[oldnotdead]

Did you guys watch the Niners? Their offense is the run game. Take away that and they only have one WR and a TE and occasional screens and dump offs to the RBs. The strength of their defense is their D-line. If the Rams can't sweep them then they don't deserve to go to the playoffs.

The competition for the division comes down to the Hawks. The next time will be at our house. The problem with the Ram offense is correctable. It's the execution of the o-line.

I'm more concerned about the poor play by Talib and Peters. Neither one is anywhere near lock down. Time to get David Long up to speed and playing. I've had enough of Nickell and Troy.

 

[tiger1971]

11-5
Pre season I predicted 12-4

 

[Ramstien]

Starting to look like 3 & 13.

 

[Loyal]

6-10 if we are lucky, assuming Snead doesn’t get a couple of good Olinemen

 

[Riverumbbq]

8 - 8 or 9 -7

 

[Ram77]

6-10 or 7-9 honestly. Pretty embarrasing. I thought McVay would never allow this team to sink back to mediocrity while he was coach-especially this fast. I honestly think he was too brazen. You NEED preseason reps!! You NEED preseason reps! Especially the OLINE and Defense with new starters playing. You need to build confidence and rythm going into a season. Im sure hes learned his mistake. We needed another Veteran defensive lineman to replace Suh but more importantly needed a veteran Center and LG. #55 is killing us out there. Noteboom is ok but we needed better depth there.
PS-Pathetic showing or no-showing by Rams fans at the Coliseum today. At least 90% Niners fans in attendance. Pathetic. Ive been to 2 games this season and was out of town this week. But we dont deserve the Rams honestly in LA. I hate the Niners but their fans showed up
