Game Day Thread

The GDT is a live thread tradition here at ROD.

While we all get fired up watching the game, please remember our core principles; we always show respect for our team and each other.

Despite the emotional highs and lows watching a game, we will moderate this thread with that in mind, however please refrain from name calling. This applies to players, the Rams organization, and each other.

This is the core rule of the GDT. Moderators are tasked to issue thread bans, at a minimum, to maintain this standard.

This is our team. Win or lose. Good days and bad. We are here for FUN, not to be dragged down.

A more loosely moderated atmosphere can be found in the chat room.

Go Rams!

Los Angeles Rams Playoff Scenarios and Chances: Seeding Remains Up for Grabs

What are the Los Angeles Rams' playoff scenarios and chances for Week 18, and how could its seeding shake out depending on this week's results?

Los Angeles Rams Playoff Seeding Remains up for Grabs​

Los Angeles has roughly a 67% chance to finish as the NFC’s No. 6 seed and a 33% chance of finishing as the seventh seed, based on simulations of the PFN Playoff Predictor. The Rams already have a Wild Card spot secured but could face a variety of opponents depending on how Week 18 shakes out.

The most straightforward scenario for Los Angeles to hang onto the sixth seed involves beating the San Francisco 49ers, which enter the week with nothing to play for and every incentive to rest their key players after securing the conference’s No. 1 seed.

That reality would seem to make beating San Francisco fairly straightforward, as news has already come out that it will start Sam Darnold at quarterback. The Rams have made some resting decisions of their own, however, and will also sit their starting quarterback with Carson Wentz getting the nod at signal-caller.

Thus, the winner of that matchup becomes all the more unpredictable. Los Angeles could drop to the seventh seed, with the Green Bay Packers defeating the Chicago Bears, while losses by the Rams and Packers would leave LA as the No. 6 seed.

Those varying outcomes leave Los Angeles with three potential first-round opponents — the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, or Detroit Lions.

The Cowboys are the most likely team to finish second in the NFC at this point and, thus, Los Angeles’ most likely opponent if it were to fall to the seventh seed. A Philadelphia win combined with Dallas losing, though, would vault the Eagles to the No. 2 seed, while Detroit is also still mathematically able to finish second, though it’s a longshot.

Finishing with the sixth seed would thus almost certainly entail an opening-round matchup with the Lions.

Time will ultimately tell where the Rams ultimately end up seeding-wise and what matchup that ultimately entails for a team that seems to have gotten hot at the right time.

Is there any doubt that this game opens with a WR screen to Puka?

I think its a pretty safe bet that our opponent next week will be Detroit or Dallas. But I'd sure love to see it be Philly. They are looking very vulnerable.

Great line by JB Long:
"A roster that was literally practicing how to practice in May is now resting starters in January, having already punched a playoff ticket."

Detroit would seem like the fitting choice though.There running game though has been impressive.
Dallas being the choice would only give The Rams reason to know that game this season in Dallas was stacked against them from the start.There would be a lot of info for game planning against them.

I wouldn’t claim that as a totally true statement.The thing The Rams do do is play the rookies with the veterans from the start.
Interesting concept , but Sean Mcvay beats to his own drum.

The veteran leadership is who is taking the game off.The rookies are all playing in some shape & form. The WR group has come a long way.It’s a real nice blend that so Van Jefferson getting the boot.Tutu needs the Reps & Kupp needs the rest with his ankle.
—Stafford’s hand was concerning even if he doesn’t want to admit to it.
—Ernst Jones needs to recover.He has been playing through things. Higbee the same.
—AD99 is a guy The Tams always want to keep fresh.
—Kyren is basically the engine right now & doesn’t need the extra miles.

Carson Wentz is going to give The Rams a little extra something something. Looking for him to play at a very high level.The WR Johnson males plays as well.
Brycen Hopkins has just been solid waiting his turn.Allen though has so much potential.
