Will the Rams Go 15-2?

[Corbin]

 

[“Turbo set!”]

11-5. Tough schedule.

 

[XXXIVwin]

20-0.

 

[FarNorth]

I know the Rams will lose a couple of games and I don't know to whom it will be. Looking at the remaining schedule, I don't see ANY teams that we shouldn't be able to beat. We are better than the 49ers, but they friggin have our number, or have had our number with JG at QB. Is Stafford the NFC West's kryptonite? I really think this team could sweep the NFC West because our offense is THAT good. We will not go undefeated, although this team is good enough to do it, but I'm not even sure I WANT them to do it. Away games vs. the Packers, Vikings and Ravens will be tough...especially in Winter outdoor stadiums (Packers & Ravens). I have news for the NFL, the homefield advantage is so important at SoFi, the Rams will be undefeated there: Book it!

My personal philosophy is to never take anything for granted. Nothing is certain except death and taxes.

One of the great things about the 1999 Rams was how unexpected the season was, game after game, right through the Super Bowl.

It's admittedly a bit harder not to gleefully anticipate with these Rams right now. But I'm really enjoying the ride one step at a time so far.

And wins at SoFi.... *flexes

 

[So Ram]

You're the one on crack if you think the Cardinals beat the Rams at SoFi. It's your right to not believe that the Rams are the best team in the NFL. Well, I freakin' believe they ARE the best.

Well I’m not saying there not.I still think they are vulnerable.When February comes around then I’ll be
hoping Home Field will be at its Ultimate. I like your positive thinking.
I’ll save the crack for better days along the way,making it last the whole season.Knowing teams can get beat on any given Sunday.
Just an example is looking at the prediction pools.
Go Rams!

 

[XXXIVwin]

Yeah, I'm not big into predicting wins and losses so far away. In this brutal game, so much depends on injuries (for both teams).

And every year it seems I forget the "any given Sunday" rule. (Last year, I was totally certain we would beat the freakin' Jets.)

Having said all that... the stomping of the Bucs proved that the Rams are as good as anyone, and maybe even the favorite to win it all. Gonna enjoy this freakin' season, and at the end I sure hope we can party like it's 1999.

 

[So Ram]

Last year losing to the 0-13 Jets at SOFI is a sad reminder of what can happen. I also know Cam Akers would make this Rams team better.The addition of Sony calms the nerves & makes me believe The Rams have excellent depth.
Kenny Young needs to play better.If he develops into a top LBer that will push this team over the Top.
I see a lot of upside moving forward into the season.I’ll get more fired up & confident after the bye week.

That was a soul-less, fan-less SoFi. It's reminder of what can happen without Matthew Stafford.

That flour will gitcha!

 

[The Ramowl]

I don't see why we should assume we sweep the Niners when we haven't been able to beat them in so long. I think they had Goff number's and Stafford should solve that, but I also think Shanahan gets into McVay's head. I'd say we split.
I think we lose one to two games vs Packers, Vikings, Tennessee, Ravens.
And I think we go 3-1 vs Seattle and Arizona.

That puts us at 13-14 wins, I think it's realistic.
The Arizona game on Sunday is really big because they just might be our main opponents this year in the division.

My thinking is this. Stafford so changes the calculus, along with McVay's much expanded playbook, that this team is as surprisingly explosive as the 1999 Rams. We swept the NFC West that year and finished 13-3 in the regular season. I think this offense is just getting in synch, where it will sweep opposing teams off their feet by the 2nd quarter in almost every game this year.

Which even @Corbin and @CGI_Ram agrees with me!

 

[jap]

Nah
















17-0 duh!

I'll take that and raise you another 3 wind for 20-0!!!

 

[snackdaddy]

13 wins would be nice. Whatever gets that first round bye and home field. 15 wins? Its possible. I can guarantee you 17-0 ain't happening. That would likely mean they clinched the top seed before the end of the season. McVay would sit his starters at the end if that were the case.

If you find out for sure could you let us know? I’d like to get some money down if it’s a sure thing.

That's my out, you bastid! My predicted losses are malleable. (Word of the day for sub sailors, eh @thirteen28 ?)

 

[OnceARam]

How cool would it be to get the bye and home field advantage… And beat Greenbay twice while we’re at it… The Matt Stafford revenge tour.

Just like a typical skimmer ... can't dazzle with brilliance, baffle with bullshit ...
