One thing is we stared 3-2 last season and 1-4 the season before, now we are sitting at 2-3. Very similar. We were 10-7 and 12-5 at the end. So maybe we're looking at 11-6 this season and a wildcard. Who knows how it will shake out but we'll know what this team could be in the next few weeks.

11-6 and a wildcard with this roster is nothing to be proud of. Home field advantage should have been the realistic goal.



Oof for the Cardinals. The '26 Rams keep finding ways to lose but this game gets softer and softer as kickoff approaches. If they don't curbstomp Arizona something is seriously wrong.

Didn't double check but when I ask for AZ Cards pass rush stats, this is what I got. Supposedly includes info from ESPN analytics. I know locally the biggest issue for media here is their inability to put consistent pressure on opposing QBs.

It’d be nice if all we had to worry about is making the playoffs and home fields instead of one team being awarded an unearned, ridiculously out-of-proportion advantage in the form of a playoff bye.
 
Why do we get so sensitive when McVay is challenged? Tomlin was a great head coach with similar success to McVay, why discount it?

McVay changed everything here. He is an elite coach. But he has been in his own head for a few years and put us in a lot of bad situations. He needs to improve just like the players do.
I never considered Tomlin as a great coach. Tough guy coach maybe.
All of us question McVay sometimes. Then we come to our senses.
Some people here on on the edge of turning on McVay.
That would be utterly foolish.
The Rams are not going down the drain. We have seen this before.
Its not like he has not ever had good special teams play either.
Sky is not falling.
 
They won't need Trent McDuffie. The Card offensive line is porous and terrible, so the Rams D-Line can put huge pressure on Jacoby Brissett

This is a division rival games so I won't be so quick to say the Rams dominate...BUT...they should win. The Cards battled the 9ers to lose by 6, but got dominated by the Hags 31-7. They can definitely put up a fight at times!!!

Our Rams KNOW they can't take anther division loss, so I think they win. By how much is why I'll be watching!!!

Tomlin was 0-7 in his last 7 playoff games, McVay hasnt lost consecutive playoff games and is 10-6 overall
There is no comparison

Winning a Superbowl is the realistic goal, so getting in to the playoffs is merely a first step

Marvin Harrison Jr. opened up the field for Michael Wilson/McBride has been less effective without Marvin Harrison jr, so maybe the Rams won't need Trent McDuffie this week
