Regroup, sure. But it's pretty obvious there's a big drop from BUF/KC and everyone else. There's an NFC participant in the SB every year, but this year looks sacrificial.

Ultimately we're stuck in suspended animation. We're good enough to make the playoff, but not good though to win. We're still waiting for our chance to view and judge Lance.

It's a long year. Goal isn't be the best in Oct. Best in Oct last year was like TEN and ARZ. They stunk. As long as we find our stride soon enough and play our best ball in Dec/Jan.

The Super Bowl is one game. And the aura around it is unlike any other game played all season long.

It doesn't matter if the Bills/Chiefs are vastly better on paper. All that matters is who is better for those 4 hours in February. You never give up on a season just because two teams from the opposing conference look unstoppable.

Heck, we haven't even mentioned the Eagles, who are still undefeated, and they're in our conference. Should we just accept nobody can beat them in a single game and punt the season? Seems ridiculous.

This division is very winnable. We should therefore do everything we can to win it. Let the chips fall where they may after that.

I really needed this, lol. Thanks.

I swore to myself I would stop watching after today because it's so frustrating, but I may as well stick through it. Knowing we started 3-5 last year but still made the NFC Championship is the only thing getting me through this mess.

Meh. Tired of being optimistic. We're going to lose, and the Webzone will implode. Hope I'm wrong.

We only lose against them in the games that actually matter

We don't have the oline this year to be dominant. It would have been the same with trey. I called it before the season started the oline would be this team's downfall.

What the f**k was shanalynch thinking with brendel as our center. losing Armistead kinlaw and moseley were killers also.

So many wasted picks. So much wasted money.

Exactly, the Rams can beat us in any game they want to, they're just smart enough to save their best stuff for the playoffs.

The Rams wanted us to win that game. No one benefitted more from having us in the playoffs than them.

go spank the rams, get to 4-4, and heal up on the bye

People seem to forget that the team only came back in that game after McVay got too cute and f*ed up on an easy 3rd down conversion.

The rest of the schedule looks easier. But that game was a punch to the gut. It was a reality check that this team is average at best. Nothing more.

This might be the dumbest thing I've heard to justify a Rams L yet lol.

Did they lose Week 15 in 2019 on purpose, too? Was missing the playoffs the best thing for them?

Why don't you go be a Rams fan if you're going to simp for them this much?
