ESPN's Adam Caplan: Rams Upside “at 8-8″ but “Realistic is 6-10"

[RamBill]

ESPN's Adam Caplan joined Kevin Wheeler to talk about the win the Rams got, the performance from Davis and the offense, the shaky D, going against Demarco Murray, week 2 in the NFL, the shock of the Saints being 0-2, the 49ers weird loss last night, and a look at the off-field issues that will continue to dominate the NFL.

Listen to Caplan Talk Rams

 

[Rams and Gators]

Better than the number 1 pick we were competing for going into Sunday's game I suppose.

It's a "What have you done for me lately" league. lol.

 

[Angry Ram]

8-8 would be disappointing, but considering what transpired this past month, wouldn't be depressing.

 

[OC_Ram]

I'm gonna hold the line at 9-7

"We're Tied for Second in the NFC West!"

 

[Akrasian]

"We're Tied for Second in the NFC West!"

And have a longer current winning streak than Frisco and Seattle.

 

[mr.stlouis]

Yeah, that's the dad truth. That was my worste case scenario coming in.

 

[Rambitious1]

Yep, sounds about right.
Unfortunately....

 

[DaveFan'51]

I'm not too sure about this^, We ended-up 7-9 last year with-out Bradford, and I firmly believe we are a much better Team this year. Even with the injuries!!

 

[lockdnram21]

I still think 9-10 wins if our defense plays to their potential and the o line comes to play every game

 

[ReddingRam]

8-8 would be disappointing, but considering what transpired this past month, wouldn't be depressing.

I agree. Now if we had not suffered all these injuries, my expectations would be at LEAST 10 wins. Now .... I can see 6-10 to 8-8 very probable. And 8-8 would be outstanding, IMHO ... all things considered.

But the schedules harder - and most other teams are better as well.

We have had a schedule ranking in the Top 3 toughest every year Fisher has been our HC. This is always based on last years out-comes. New year, New problems for everyone! Just about Every Team in the NFL looks better, on paper. You still have to play the game. And as the saying goes ' On any given Sunday etc. etc.' we'll see at the end of the Season!!

6-10? That sounds about right
