They are going to do it! The Rams will go 8-8 and MAKE the playoffs! BAM!! How do you like that for a bold prediction. Bulger is Back! Jackson is Back! The receivers are healthy, enough. The division is weak. Heck, the conference is weak. Through 11 weeks (10 games), not many teams have separated themselves from the rest of the NFC. Sure, it appears Green Bay and Dallas are off on their own, but then there is Tampa and Seattle at 6-4 leading their divisions. the current wildcard spots go to New York and Detroit. After them, no team in the NFC is over .500. If the Rams role off a few wins…. maybe they have a chance.
If the defense and O-line step it up, good things will happen. That is asking a lot. I still believe in all honest 7 wins is reasonable; Seattle, Arizona, Atlanta and one more somewhere. Unfortunately, that doesn’t help anything but morals. Winning 6 or 7 games only hurts their draft position next year. We need a good draft pick.
The win this past weekend against the division rival 49ers, marked the franchise’s 500th win. A nice feet, but doesn’t mean much for this season.
Here is a look at the injury report of the Rams, this may explain some of the losses IR: Jerome Carter, depth at safety and special teams Adam Goldberg, offensive line Richie Incognito, offensive line Leonard Little, arguably the best player on the defense Orlando Pace, arguably the best player on the team Mark Setterstrom, offensive line Raonall Smith, depth at LB and special teams Aaron Walker, emerging TE That is just IR, Bulger has missed games. Jackson has missed games. Bruce, Hall, Bennett have been hurt while Holt hasn’t been 100% since his surgury. Many more injuries that just kill everything they had going for them. Many people picked them to go to the Super Bowl before the season.
The Rams get to face a Shaun Alexanderless Seattle Seahawks this week. Hasselbeck may not play also. That just means the Rams would have to contain the everathletic Seneca Wallace. They can get the job done. Don’t be deceived by the 2-8 record, they are playing decent football now.
TBIAH, imagine if St. Louis were Dallas or Green Bay and they were 10-1, you would be unbearable. St. Louis loses 8 games and not a peep from you. Now they win 2 and every other blog is about St. Louis and how they're going to run the table and win it all, it's nonsense.
St. Louis will finish 3rd in their division with a 4-12 record, 5-11 at the most and NOT make the playoffs. Enjoy your top 5 draft choice.
Your predictions have all been wrong, no different this time.
What if? I still don't see them beating the Steelers in December, but c'mon, how do you lose to the JETS!?! It is very possible. The Rams are my favorite team in that division, I'd like to see it happen. We'll see.
TBIAH, I'm so glad you're finally back! Take care, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Every other the blog? Every blog brother. Now you know exactly how it would be if the Rams had the same record as Green Bay, You would have three blogs a day from me. The best part though you would comment on all of them. That's why your oppinion is always welcomed here. You have been talking smack since my very first blog.
