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? All im saying here is don’t be surprised if we get better treatment from the refsby max - RamsFootballFans.com

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. And hope Minny loses games with their backup QB, Dby max - RamsFootballFans.com

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.

Keep it simple, stupid. If these 3 things happen we're in.... If the Rams beat the Browns and KC beats GB and Dallas beats SEA, then the Rams are in the 7 spot. That wasn't so hard now, was it?by max - RamsFootballFans.com

At this stage in my life, so many of the old things have become trite or tiresome, and boredom sets in from seeing or hearing the same stuff over and over again. But one thing has stayed with me from my childhood. I still love the Rams. From the first time I laid my eyes on the a Rams helmet with those cool looking horns as a young boy, I’ve been hooked.

It’s a combination of issues. Tiny hands, physically small framed, and not quick athlete. That combination equates to a high turnover risk QB. You have to keep Goff clean, even more so than the average QB.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Stafford is just getting older and slower and more injury prone. Do we want to win another SB? Our best shot is not with him at QB. My fear is that McVay sticks with Stafford for another year or two, then they both leave. And then the real rebuild starts. I've seen this play before. We all get excited when we win a game chasing a playoff spot to get to a one and done that never happeby max - RamsFootballFans.com
He has got 9 TD in 9 games. That sucks. Especially for a guy that throws tons of picks. Those are inexperienced rookie numbers. How much of it is from playing injured? Dunno, but I do know he is playing on borrowed time.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

We all get it. You hate Goff as a QB. And it wasn't all that long ago that you said no way the Lions beat the Chiefs because the difference between Goff and Mahomes was way too much. How'd that go for ya? At the end of the day, I think you may have a problem, cause Goff has a long way to go in his career, and the Lions just keep getting better. We all get it.
