They think the Cards are in big trouble.
They wanted to trade up for Lynch, could afford the price. Now they think they don't have a QB going forward. Plus Fitz is gone next year.
If they lose tomorrow to the Niners they have a HUGE problem, may not recover. Fear Palmer is at the end.
If that is so, then the Rams have a good shot at playoff if they take care of business.
Chance of making playoffs for a 4-1 team are something like 77%, based on history. If the Rams lose this week, they are back to 50% chance of making it.
