The Rams really need to trade Goff already.

We own them and Shanahan is a better coach always with less healthy talent available too. It may be time for some of you to eat a nice pile of crow. I said if Ward was playing we would have a great chance of winning. Glad he proved me right on Defense. The Rams D is overrated but Von will help them beat up on some more sub .500 teams I'm sure

I wanted to say that last week was a "fluke", but two weeks in a row now is not a fluke. This team is in trouble if they get the wrong matchup. If they play teams that can run the ball well and pass rush, they don't have an answer.

That front 7 is not built to be great against the run, and their OL does have issues. On top of that they can't run the ball well, and as talented as Stafford is, he is just incapable of trying to play within the system for 4 quarters. He's always gonna try and play hero ball at one point, and I don't see him putting together 3 great games in a row in the playoffs to carry them to a SB.

Everyone is prisoner of the moment. Barring a huge collapse, the Rams will still make the playoffs, but I've never bought the Super Bowl hype they were getting all offseason, and even through the 1st 2 months when they were beating the Giants and Texans and Lions and Bears. They have the same number of wins against anybody worth a damn as the 49ers. Matt Stafford is still the same guy he was in Detroit albeit in a much better situation. That offensive line can get pushed around and that defense, while still quite good, people don't realize, that they were the #1 defense in the NFL last year. It's easy to play defense when you have an offense that can basically score on every possession. Aaron Donald and Leonard Floyd don't have to play the run. Jalen Ramsey can freelance and take chances to get INTs.

The SB hype was real, and should've been. Once they lost Cam it definitely hurt their chances some. But now that they lost Woods as well, I don't think they can win it all.

Seems like the bye week hit them at the perfect time. It'll allow Von and OBJ to catch up a bit and not be as limited. And who knows maybe losing to the niners again will light a fire up their a$$.

Though just based off comments seems like OBJ is much more motivated to get things going than Von. But that's been the book on Von for a couple years now… when he wants to he dominates but allot of times he phones it in.

But it's still hard to ignore the talent they have, their Achilles heel will be that O line. Which might limit them to a one and done playoff appearance.

Perfect time for a bye week so they can't sneak in a win before OBJ obliterates the chemistry and Von keeps getting older.

Completely wrong as far as the Rams OL goes. They do NOT have "issues" at all. Whitworth is currently #1 in the NFL in pass pro and their OL is one of the best in the league. (Only given up 15 sacks which is top 5) Their run blocking isn't bad either. (4.0 YPC and the Niners are 4.3 YPC and are 15th so not much difference at all) Also, Henderson is averaging 4.7 YPC which is definitely in the great category. Far from the issues you speak of. They don't run much at all so their run blocking isn't the issue and their pass blocking is elite this year. Knowledge is power......See when one decides to chime in, it helps to know what one is talking about. Lesson learned......"and that's one to grow on"

Lol

Ya, their OL has some issues, anyone who watched the Titans game saw that. And if it wasn't for a bunch of holding calls that they got away with, Bosa would've had 3 sacks.

Their YPC is a bit higher, but they don't run that much. When you throw as much as they do, and with success, it's easier to run the ball here and there, but if they had to grind out a win with their run game, it would not work. Plus, YPG tells a much different story. Bottom 10th in the NFL.
