I'm quite sure that losing to the Saints and Eagles has.......

Crossed many minds on the Herd board.
I mean, if we're being honest with each other about the Saints and Eagles games at home in LA being the true indicator of how to judge the Rams about their chances of making a run in the playoffs etc...
Even if our Rams collapsed but the Seahawks fold and hand us the NFC West Title, very few realists on the board will have faith that this team will do anything in the NFL playoff tournament other than a first round wildcard victory.
A select few of you might think differently but 2 of the next 3 games will likely tell us how good or almost good the Rams really are in 2017. Practically all of you already know this, so I'm not shedding any new light on your gifted football expertise.
(this is assuming the Rams beat a team like the Cardinals in between those contests)
Getting a split with the top 2 NFC teams (Saints, Eagles) should reveal that we belong in the conversation as playoff spoilers and a mini run or more if the ball bounces our way.
Getting a sweep against the Saints and Eagles would send this board into a frenzy! (again assuming the Rams also beat the Cardinals)
I know, the most important thing is simply getting a playoff birth..
This is why I'm opening this seasons Rams present one game at a time and enjoying every single snap until they're out of the picture or holding up the sacred Lombardi trophy. We could end up 9-7 or 12-4... ?
Nobody on this board knows for sure but I think most of us believe this team is going to finish better than 8-8. No guarantees but this game Sunday will tell us if the crap game they played at Minnesota last week was just a bump in the road or how they truly stack up against the big boys.
We better get a victory this Sunday gosh dang it!
