Whiners vs Sea-skanks this week. Who do you want and why?

[GoodBadUgly]

Since they can't BOTH lose, I'll pull for 9ers as much as that pains me greatly.

Why? Even though they have the heads-up tiebreaker having beaten us, we get them one more time to even it out, and are a game up in the standings as well. I say bring the Seadogs back to the pack at this "halfway point". Then (figuring a split with all our NFCW rivals) we're right in the hunt for a division title and it comes down to our Fins/Cheatriots/Jets/Bucs results. I'd take our chances on 3-1 there, giving us 11-5 finish.

Sink hole that swallows up both teams and their coaches.

A tie would be ideal, but isn't a reasonably likely outcome.

Ask me again after the Miami game.

If we beat the Dolphins - and arguably we should - I'd rather Seattle lose. That puts the Rams right up there with the Seahawks for tops in the division. I think we'd come out on top, as we generally win our head to head games vs. Seattle. With no fans due to covid-19, I don't see that changing, as the Seahawks best chance would likely be to ride their home crowd to a win.

Conversely, the 49s seem to have our number recently. But they are so injured that, even if the Rams don't beat them, they should still lose a number of games over the 2nd half of the season. I don't see them as a divisional contender.

 

[OldSchool]

Whiners because they’re lower in the standings.

 

[RamFan503]

Honestly. I'd rather meet the shecocks in the playoffs. We don't seem to match up well with the whiners. So.... sink hole.

 

[Mojo Ram]

There are pro's and con's to both scenario's as long as the Rams take care of business. I don't let blind fan hate get in the way of mathematics when looking at these games.

A SF win puts AZ in first place and in the drivers seat with 2 division wins in hand vs SF and SEA. That's not good.

A SEA win evens things out a bit between SEA, AZ and us and sets the Niners back to .500 ball and 2 division losses. I'd like to see them go away. Geezus that was a dick punch division loss.

 

[Angry Ram]

Shitbirds. Keep the shitters in the basement.

Shit upon shit.

 

[majrleaged]

I think Seattle wins, but I would like Seattle to loose. I still can't take AZ seriously so not worried if they momentarily lead the division. Looks like I was wrong predicting they wouldn't win more than 6 games, but not many more.

 

[Dodgersrf]

This is tough.
I'm leaning towards the Seacocks to win.
Let them push the Whiners down a game then we take care of Seattle

I want to win the division. Best way of doing that is getting in first place asap. Need a 49er dub.

Remaining schedule for both teams.

It looks like the Whiners have the tougher schedule through the second half of the season.
A Seacocks loss this week, may be the best scenario after all.

 

[Classic Rams]

Easy for me. Every time the whiners lose I celebrate the day. When the Squawks lose I'm like "good....gooooood."

Whiners to lose always.

 

[551staaa]

I'm trying to look at this objectively and weigh the pros and cons as to which outcome benefits the Rams more. Do I want the 49ers to win or the Seahawks to win? I keep coming up with the same answer.
OH HELL NO!!!

 

[Faceplant]

 

[hotanez]

will always pull for the other team playing the 9ers. My hate for that team runs deep

 

[Loyal]

tie

 

[Ram_Rally]

If the Seahawks lose this week and we win, we'll be playing them for first place in two weeks.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I think in the short term, a Whiner win makes the Rams reaching first place more achievable in the short term.


But I don't like the idea of the 49ers hanging close by. Their defense is proven to give the Rams trouble and so far, their offense has too.

So I'd be up for the long game. Seattle wins and pushes the Whiners down another game. We can catch Sheattle with two wins head to head.
