I did feel that the Rams were probably a 13-14 win team back in the preseason.
Three things, though.
I never dreamed that the Cards were capable of a 7-0 start.
And I’ve gotta admire how Stafford has adapted to his new teammates and O much more quickly than Brady did last year with the Bucs and we all know how well that turned out.
If I’m being honest with myself I have to say that Rams are but one of 5 more or less equally rated NFC teams.
Bucs
Cowboys
Packers
Cards
Rams
Not a lot of daylight between those teams as of today, IMO.
If the Rams want to win it all then they have to clean up parts of their D, really clean up ST other than Gay and Hekker, and finish the gelling of their O (including perhaps their run game). That’s a lot to accomplish but then again they have 11 more games to get it done. Very doable on all counts.
