I LOVE the Rams and I'm elated with the results thus far, but they are not the most complete team in the NFC.
Philly and New Orleans are more complete teams and Carolina might be right there as well.
Both Philly and NO have strong running games and can stop the run.
NO has a HOF qb and Philly has one of the best young qb's in the game.
Wentz is #1 against the blitz and #1 on 3rd down. He's also top 3 in the redzone.
I would match Philly's defensive front against any team, very strong unit.
Despite the hoopla NO's o-line is one of if not the best o-lines in football.
Fletcher Cox my pick when he and Brockers came out totally destroyed Trai Turner and the Rams have nobody his caliber at guard.
Bad match-up.
Carolina has a top 5 rushing and passing D if memory serves.
Those are very tough match-ups for the Rams.
The Rams O has only put up 11.5 ppg against top defenses.
I would not be surprised at all IF both Philly and NO beat the Rams soundly.
Not at all.
IMO the Rams aren't there quite yet, but they're coming!!!!
Best,
Laram
