I can't cosign "it's all over" or "we're done now". We're limited so we have to find ways to overcome it. It's not impossible (see: SF). I think we can get by Arizona, then we have the bye. The guys covering for the guys who are out will have a chance to sharpen up during the bye. Then we face Green Bay. They have no run game so pin the ears back and get after Love. After that guys start coming back. Ferguson and Davante for the KC game? Puka for the Dallas game? The game in between is the SF but it is @ SF and we've won 3 straight up there. Kinda reminds of the 80's when they used to beat us in LA (8 of 10 times) and we used to beat them in SF (6 of 10 times). That was when they won 4 SBs in 10 years. So don't tell me "it's over" or "we're done".
 
I missed the report that Puka has been put on IR.

Hopefully, he will play after missing only four games while the Rams are still in the hunt. The Rams still have to get the passing game going this week. Move the passes around, including getting Daniels and Klaire some targets and throw some deep ones.
 
Did the NY Times Playoff Simulator today. Tried alot of different scenarios. Looked at some "worst cases." The most interesting one that kinda stood out to me was if this happens:

@Arizona- W
Green Bay- L
Kansas City- L
@ San Francisco- L
Dallas-W
@Seattle- W
@ Tampa Bay- W
Seattle- W

We would have a 73% chamce of making Playoffs. Obviously based on the strength of finishing 2nd in our Division. The last 4 games is when we SHOULD be at close to full strength. So even if we're 6-7, don't give up hope.

Obviously we will be far better off by winning the Green Bay game and the other games.
