I personally think Atlanta has a better chance of beating the Rams than Carolina does in New Orleans. Not a good match up for Carolina in New Orleans. New Orelans beat them twice this year without their best CB and now he is back. It will take the game of his life for Cam and they will need to get turnovers.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotedzrams This is true but everyone who wanted Snead fired is implicitly saying that Snead was part of the problem. Ok thanks. I didn’t think many thought like that knowing Fisher had full control.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn QuotePaulButcher59 Snead basically became Fishers puppet and couldn’t perform his job of GM the way he wanted to. It was Fishers show for 5 years. Horrible signing but at least they got it right once they finally fired him. It didn't work that way and you can tell it didn't work that way. Snead was as much a collaborative GM then as he is now.

QuoteRockRam Perhaps the best thing a QB needy team could have done up until McVay's arrival was to wait in line for the next Ram's castoff QB. The list is long and (dare I say it) distinguished.

Quotealyoshamucci 21) Okay, I'm going to get a list up for 3-4 rush LBs ... Key (likely top 10) Landry (likely top 20) Josh Sweat (in our range for first pick I'd think) Okoronkwo (maybe ours even with a trade down, a la Everett) Austin Bryant (likely he's hot and climbs into the top 20) Dorance Armstrong (physica specimen also likely to climb beyond his value) Uchenna Nwosu (Totaby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotemax According to Ben Allbright who reportedly has connections with Josh Kroenke in Denver, Stan Kroenke ordered the trade up for a QB, and Fisher was responsible for picking the QB. Kroenke wanted to have dinner with Goff to bless the pick before they made it. No doubt Kroenke and Demoff were pushing for the QB after the move,and it just so happens they desperately needed a QB as well. I dby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSaguaro Can't really argue with any of them. Maybe it's just what I wish, but I have a gut feeling from here in the area that the Cards aren't quite ready yet (they will be) to give up on the season, and that Arians will have them prepared to compete in this one. If Seattle falls 2 games behind the Rams, by losing another "should win" game in a row, that could really help. Iby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Seattle blew them out in AZ two of the last three season to go along with a 6-6 tie. Seattle is also an amazing 20-3-1 in primetime games dating back to 2010. AP just had 37 carries a few days ago.Is he ready for another big workload just 4 days later? Just don’t see Stanton beating RW if it comes down to him slinging the football. I really hope AZ pulls it off but I just don’t see itby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Without those guys up front, nothing else works. I never expected the OL to gel the way it has so quickly and they are staying healthy! It’s amazing the difference one person can make. Sean McVay changes the dynamic of everything, player personnel, coaching staff, GM, etc. Jeff Fisher was just a 100% complete nightmare when it came to offense in every way, shape and form. He’s an offensby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRamBill Andrew Whitworth's leadership sparks turnaround for Rams' offensive line Rams wouldn't be where they are right now without him.

QuoteFlipper336 He does what the coaches/scheme ask of him at a very high level. The only "problem" has been that what he has been asked to do isn't flashy enough for fans. Winning is the first key to getting underrated players like him recognized, or changing up what he's asked to do to show more of his abilities...both are happening now. He's a keeper.

Quotestlrams13 I'm feeling it just like I felt it when we dominated the whiners in 99. Anyone else feeling it? As long as the Rams are on the winning side of things :thumbsup Vegas has the odds back to a pick em game, so money is coming in on Seattle.. At one point the Rams went as high as 2.5 point favoritesby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteCarolinaRam Yep..if the Rams D plays like last 2 games they will put at least 30 on us. Our O will have to win in a shoot out. And after getting walloped in Denver and starting off horrible in Arizona, Dallas made some adjustments and played very well on both sides of the ball. I would expect them to start off where they left off from this Sunday at home. I wish I could say I was confidentby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams will need to score 40+ if they want to win this game. As much as i want a Rams win I'm not seeing it on the road in Dallas. If the Dallas OL is on it will be a long day for the Rams defense. This Dallas offense is a helluva a lot better than that 49ers offense!by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills Think he needs to toughen up but while watching this game again his blocking is standing out. He has to stop dropping his targets. I watched a lot of him at WKU and he played with much more toughness and confidence and his hands were better. You would never have thought toughness would ever be an issue coming out.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay obviously likes him and is giving him a great opportunity. Gotta make that catch down near the goal line. Goff threaded a great pass to him. His blocking has improved. Let's see if he can build on that and gain more confidence.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Instead of Fisher/Demoff/Snead, it was Demoff/Snead/McVay What a difference one man with full control over personnel moves can make, especially one that doesn't know jack about how to put an offense together.by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBilly_T Watching the game -- and a very enjoyable game it was -- was thinking the Rams finally have the makings of a seriously strong offense, especially at wideout, and that thought shocked me. Was also thinking if someone had some crow nearby, I'd have to get some, cook it, and eat it, cuz I was waaay too hasty regarding Robert Woods. He impressed me greatly with his play. Even if theby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
By far the player of the game for me. I was super impressed with him overall. Nice game planning by McVay as well. They knew they needed to get Sammy involved heavily and they did! Also nice redemption game by Woods. Liked how he held onto the ball after taking the big helmet to helmet shot. Getting away from Kupp will only make that connection that much more dangerous in the future. If they canby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
Key is stopping the 49ers run game. If they cannot they lose more than likely. I think this will be a very competitive game and the betting line is indicative of that Rams -1. Go Rams!by PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com

They are in a lot of trouble. They continue to not protect their franchise QB. Mind bogglingby PaulButcher59 - Game Time Forum
When he held more value. His value will only continue to decrease. I was a huge fan of later 3rd round drafted backs such as David Johnson and Kareem Hunt in recent years. Ironically both backs were selected with pick #86. There's no reason why Rams scouts cannot find a really nice back somewhere between rounds 2-4. Not sure where he will go in the 2018 draft but keep an eye on SDSU RB Rashby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
No way am I betting on Goff to be the man for the Rams for the next 5 years (6 years total including his rookie season in 2016). Just not a wise bet until he shows more improvement and consistent play. I will say that if he seems to have a great head coach to help become successful. If McVay and Snead can continue to build the OL for him and build strong enough around him he could definitelyby PaulButcher59 - RamsFootballFans.com
