We Can Still Catch Seattle

[Ramstien]

Just win the next game, all the Rams need to do is take care of business and win the games that they should. Let the rest of the NFL take care of itself. I sure am glad that this next game is in LA and not Cleveland. I hope Rams fans show up!

Cowboys. Niners. Eagles. We'll know a lot more about Seattle after their next three games.

But, as Ramstien says above, all we can do is win our games and see what happens.

Browns are in bad shape. That should be a W. Ravens should be a L. If we handle business like we should, 9-8 is possible. (Factors in a loss to the 49ers at the end.) That might get us in. Green Bay has a soft schedule coming up. Gotta hope for a Seattle slide which may occur.

Yeah I dread the Ravens matchup. Bastards also coming off a bye. So even if we get to .500 next weekend it seems likely we drop again.

I agree that right now 9 wins feels like the ceiling. But I also have a feeling we give the shitters another good game. Maybe this time pull it out too. Worried about us making it to that one healthy though, and our depth is iffy as hell.

1 game at a time

keep moving forward 1 game at a time

 

[snackdaddy]

Doesnt change the fact that Detroit let us down, that was my point.....

They were getting even with us for losing the Seattle in the final game last year.

... I sure am glad that this next game is in LA and not Cleveland. I hope Rams fans show up!

When I travelled a lot back in the day, I used to visit sports bars around the country to watch the Rams games. The one constant was the Browns fans that always made up most of the bar. Didn't matter the city. If there was a Browns game at the same time, or even the game after, I'd have to get to the bar an hour earlier to hope to get a seat. I hated it, but respected the fan base support.

I wouldn't get my hopes up that there won't be a huge showing. Maybe some will stay away with all their injuries, but they are in the playoff hunt and their LA-based fans only get to see them live about once a decade, so...

If any of you folks follow Ellenbogen, he 's looking at realistic possibilities of the Rams making the playoffs. Barring significant injuries, it looks pretty good. We hear Rams players all saying "one game at a time", which is the main focus...THEY NEED TO DO THAT!!!!

The Rams are getting healthy...and I think if Kupp and Puka get to 90-100% healthy, they can be formidable offensively. With the Ravens as the game most will say the Rams lose. However, if they win out going into the 49er game at week 18...it's a DONE DEAL...which is not unlikely.

Anyone with me? It's definitely not impossible...JUST STAY HEALHTY!!!

5-0 IS THE GOAL FOLKS...AND IT AIN'T IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Think that's a couple different thoughts Woodie.

I am with you that it's 'definitely not impossible'

Saying it's 'Not Unlikely' they win their next five ... I am not quite with you.
Should the Rams do that, it would be seven straight wins. If this roster can win seven games in-a-row, then (in my opinion) Sean McVay should win Coach of the Year, regardless of anything and everything else in the NFL.

I think it's an accomplishment that the Rams will play a meaningful game in December. Hope it's a bunch.

I do think some fans place themselves on a roller coaster … and, that’s perfectly OK.

When you get older (like me) roller coasters can be disorienting.

 

[Pupped]

Winning 4 out of 6 is very, very possible. Will they? We'll see. I hate to say it.. but I think the key to any hopes for getting to the playoffs is beating the Browns. The good news is that the Rams may be catching them at the right time.

 

[pvtdragon39]

I wonder if SF is gonna just not care about the last game, Especially if they are 2nd/ 3rd seed by 2 games and rest starters. Also depends if Seattle and the Rams are 7th and 6th seeds or GB/Viks are. We are going to need Help by other teams to beat a lot of the contenders to even have a wild card chance unless we go 11-6/ 10-7/9-8 then we will most likely be #6 unless GB does too.

Cowgirls will be out of reach and locked in at #5 WC spot as they will most likely win most of thier games with exception of lions/ eagles/Miami games.

If we are in a shoot out at 8-8/7-9 going in the last week, we prob will lose #7 due to tie breakers from GB/vikes before our game with SF is finished,will win #7 if Sea is tied.
GB has an easy Schedule and is expected to go 5-1 which will make them 11-6 and lock in #6
Vikes are expected to go 2-4
We are expected to go 3-3
Sea expected to go 4-2

Need to pass the Packers first, they currently have the same record and they have the tiebreaker. Here's their remaining schedule

What a cake schedule.

Yeah I dread the Ravens matchup. Bastards also coming off a bye. So even if we get to .500 next weekend it seems likely we drop again.

Didn’t the Rams also get the Steelers, Packers, and Cowboys coming off there bye week?

I can’t even handle the paratroopers ride, and that just spins. I was dizzy for three days after that.

Yeah you would think the NFL would make a public apology for shit like having one team face four teams coming off their bye. That is a significant advantage, it makes shitty coaches decent in gameplanning, and great coaches are extremely difficult to beat. Have to think Stan has had some real conversations with the front office about it. I mean they knew this was a rebuild year but still.

Packers had their bye a few weeks before our game, but yes to the other three.

The toughest game of the next i5 s the Ravens and they can be beat. Of course I think the Rams need their key players to be healthy. to do it. It starts Sunday...so we'll see what happens. ONE GAME AT A TIME...that's the mantra.

 

[snackdaddy]

Its very possible Seattle loses the next 3 games which would put them at 6-8 with 3 games left. But they do finish with Arizona who will probably be mailing it in by then.

I would not count on Minnesota going on a win streak. If Chicago can beat them anyone can. Dobbs is looking like the Dobbs that was in Arizona earlier in the year. Green Bay has the tiebreaker. And Jordan Love certainly looked much better against Detroit. But I don't him sustaining that level of play. New Orleans might finish with a losing record.

One advantage we have over the teams we will be battling for a playoff spot is the most important position. Stafford is they guy you want in big games. He's proven he can play at a high level when needed late in games. Our line is improving. More time together, and more importantly, better luck with injuries is the reason why.

Every week is a test for this team. They've failed a few. But they've come through on others. This is another big test. Cleveland has a strong defense with a good pass rush. If they can establish the run and keep Stafford upright, they can win this one. Cleveland might using a 3rd or 4th string quarterback. The cards are stacked in our favor. They just have to take advantage.

 

[Alaskan Ram]

Adding to the 'facing teams after the bye' discussion, couldn't remember the 4 so I looked it up:

The Rams will have the Steelers, Cowboys, Ravens, and Commodes coming off of their bye weeks, with Pittsburgh and Dallas back-to-back in Weeks 7-8, and Baltimore, Washington back-to-back in Weeks 14-15. None of San Francisco's four such games are back-to-back. Both of L.A.'s are.

I didn't realize the sequencing of this 4 game disadvantage came with 2 back to backs.
Should go better in week 14-15 with K-will back.
One game at a time though.
Fuck any team in our way.
