If they lose to Cleveland then definitely it may not be our time yet(of course depends how we lose)
But losing to LA on a short week when they have a mini bye week to heal up and prep for us on their turf shouldn't be a "oh no we suck again" moment assuming we're going there 4-0
Schedule makers didn't do us any favors there. Tough enough playing well on the road on short rest, giving the Rams extra time to prepare for us puts us at a disadvantage from the start.
But the Rams have given up 26 points per game so far(32 per game at home) and they're actually been pretty healthy in comparison to us. They're definitely beatable but they still have the best defensive player in the game and that guy can take over games.
Long story short we have to take care of business Monday Night and show people we can hang with the talented teams getting a lot of attention and then have to win a key division game on the road vs the defenending NFC champs but that game isn't a must win or clear indicator whether we're for real or not.
Of course I'll add the stipulation if we get routed like the last time we played them then it's something to be concerned about.
