If we can’t beat them when we have our football lives on the line and they don’t, then why bother with the playoffs. I say bring on those MFs. I don’t expect to go far in the playoffs having to win 3 straight road games anyway. So let’s at least kick the Niners asses and make a statement.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteferragamo79 Arizona bad as Giants Id rather play Pittsburg than SF....unless they rest starters which it looks like Big Whit said he thinks its gonna be Rams and Seahawks in when all is said and done. He believes we'll beat Niners. He also said the Niners will be taking a big risk if they play their starters in what will be a very physical game.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

I think this is where we are now… If we win out we’re in. If we split our last 2 games we’re in if: 1. Seattle loses a game. 2. Seattle wins out AND Packers beat Vikings and lose to Bears. Or Vikings beat Packers and lose to Lions.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBerendsenRam Didn't know Pat Kirwan was still on Radio or a Pod I remember him being wrong so many times reminds me of Mike Lombardi. GO RAMS! Kirwan never impressed me. He was a total failure as a Jets FO guy. Not sure what his claim to fame is. I think somehow he got into the good old boys club.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteThe Professor You have four teams that control their destiny. Ignoring Minnesota leaves NO, TB, and the rams. NO plays both of the other teams in their remaining games. If they go 2-0 it likely dooms the other squads. If they go 0-2 it dramatically increases the chances that the rams and TB get in. Interesting observation. NO is in the middle of this whole thing. Never liked them anyway. Wby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Assuming that SF, Philly, Dallas, and Detroit are all in, only 4 other teams control their destiny as far as getting into the playoffs. Rams, Vikings, Bucs, and Saints get into playoffs if they win out. GB, Atlanta, and Seattle all need help to get in even if they win out. Don’t listen to that dolt Pat Kirwan, who said Seattle controls their destiny. He’s a Pete Carrol suck up.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I’m not getting into the elite argument, but by any measure Hurts hasn’t looked good the past 3 weeks. He was pretty bad last night. Whats his excuse? He’s got one of the best OLs in the NFL and top notch WRs. Maybe the league has figured him out. We shall see.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Right now, Stafford is the best QB in the NFC. I guarantee you, no one wants to face us in the first round with the way he is playing, especially after the way he scared the crap out of Baltimore. Overall, this is a better situation for him than 2021 because of the running game. Yes, we are weaker on the OL because of no Big Whit, but everywhere else around him we are equal or better.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I wish they would stop wearing the all blues. They look bad and they lose 80% in them.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s the thing about Goff. He’s an extreme QB in that under pressure he’s worse than most QBs, but give him time and he’s better than most QBs. Thats why we see these huge swings in performance from him, and also why his critics and supporters have a field day with the guy. After last night, we get crickets or grumpy posts from his critics. But wait for a game when Goff is gettingby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Allen's not a burner (typical of a Rams mid-round pick), but he makes catches outside his frame, high points the ball, and wins contested balls. Those are very valuable attributes for a TE.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
There are 3 playoff spots in the NFC that are undecided. Look at the teams in the running for those 3 spots. TB ATL NO GB Minny SEA Rams. Does the League really want a playoff slate filled with subpar QBs? Do they really want 3 teams from the NFC North with bad to erratic QBs in the playoffs?

Using the NYT simulation model, I ran the following scenario... Rams win their next 3 games. and next week the following happens: Bucs beat the Packers Cincy beats the Vikes Eagles beat the Seahawks If those things happen, the Rams have a 97% chance of getting in. That pretty much means that if Vikes, Packers, and Seahawks lose next week, we are in the drivers seat as long as we beby max - RamsFootballFans.com
There are 6 teams vying for 2 spots Minnesota is 7-6, the other 5 are all 6-7. GB Rams Seahawks Falcons Saints There is also the complication of the Falcons and Saints vying with the Bucs for their division title. With 4 weeks to go, anything can happen. These games are too unpredictable. Case in point last night. What I do know is we’ve got the best HC and QB. That usually isby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Simply put, if we beat the Redskins and the Vikes lose in Cincinnati, then our playoff chances go up to 50-50. We would be right back in the mix with as good a chance as any other team to get the 7 spot. But we cannot and should not lose to the Redskins.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
It would be a huge upset if Rams beat Ravens in Baltimore. No NFC team has ever beaten Lamar at home.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Whats their record against NFC teams with Lamar? I think it's 18-1. He lost to the Giants in NY last year. Lamar has never lost to an NFC team at home.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, McVay is not getting COTY. But I think he been good enough to want to keep him as our HC. Anyone think differently?8-)by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I think we all know if we win 10+ games we’re getting in. And if we win 8 or fewer we’re not getting in. According to the NYT simulation model if we go 9-8, we’re getting in 66% of the time. Being realistic, winning in Baltimore would be wonderful but not likely and not necessary. We MUST beat WASH and NO at home and Giants in NY.

Randy Mueller likes our chances. Mostly because of McVay. Maybe this unbiased viewpoint will help those who say they are done with McVay. From Mueller: “I know what the most impressive part of this Rams team is. I’m just not sure how they are doing it. Being 6-6 is one thing, but producing the other numbers above, with marginal talent in several position groups, is hard to square. This teby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Gotta face it, no unbiased person projected the Rams remotely close to 9 wins this year. Yet, there is a good chance that happens now. This simply means the Rams will have exceeded expectations if they finish 9-8. If we stay healthy down the stretch, I really like our chances to make the playoffs. My guess is it will be us and GB. Minny has tough games left and lost their QB. I think they arby max - RamsFootballFans.com

How about putting some context on the 11-18 record. The Rams organization totally sold out to win the first ever SB in SoFi. McVay pulled it off with a crap running game, and in the process kept the Niners from winning the SB in our house. The downside was the team was a mess last year and going into this year. But hey, let's put the blinders on and look at 11-18, and not the fact that McVby max - RamsFootballFans.com
No unbiased person expected the Rams to be this good this year. McVay took a gutted roster, filled it with a ton of no name kids 3 months ago, and has the Rams vying for the playoffs. Fans saying mindless stuff like, “I'm done with McVay”, just don’t get how hard it is to do what McVay has done. Thank goodness Kroenke isn’t stupid.
