BS!!! There goes my shot!! lol
I think the difference is last year after week 6 we were 3-3 which is a world of difference statistically to make the playoffs than our record currently of 1-4.
The thing that works in our favor is we’re getting everybody back at the same time and nobody important is out for the season. That said, this Raider game is monumental.
Well 2-4 isn't terribly worse than 3-3 and we should be getting a few people back healthy this week. You know the old saying, never say never.
The problem with the Raiders is their general physicality. They're a physical fuckin team and that coach gets them fired up. I don't think he's great schematically but the players go all out for him. Unless he's losing the team, which would trump all that.
But their QBs are gonna be sweating vs our rush. So I think that should limit how much damage Bowers can do. Raiders suck at QB so the worst they can do to us is beat us up. As long as our defense uses this bye right and makes adjustments I'd say the game shouldn't get too out of control. Expect it'll be close and ugly, like when we play the Steelers.

The problem isn’t we are 2-4 in week 6, it’s we are 2-4 in week 7. The statistics are stacked against heavily. And the defending 2023 ROD Sportsbook Champion thinks that’s a little much.
Agh fuck it
But honestly all our dudes are coming back the perfect timing. It’s going to be close asf especially the refs being fucking idiots like the Pack game.
See, THIS is why Olivia Dunn rejected you.

When you don’t get your depends changed do you get moody? Or remember your years of employment?
Dont need to exaggerate what they need to do in order to win the NFC west.
The Rams are only 1 game behind 1st place in the loss column, and have 4 division games left.
There are only 2 certainties for the Rams, they wont finish the season undefeated or winless
Arizona is still garbage, Seattle's 3-0 start was fraud, they played 3 dog shit teams and the 49ers are shaky as hell
Run the table? Silly to suggest. Win the next game? Heck yeah, they sure can

And the NFC overall is worse this year especially our division than last year. The division leader this year is what we were last year not leading the division.

And what's going to happen if we somehow miraculously make the playoffs with the #32 ranked defense?
This isn't the 2000 Rams offense, we can barely score 17 points a game.
It will be a quick one and done at best.

I dont think we are 32nd ranked team that it says we are. We are middle of the pack, and thats where we are trending. The AZ game really skewed alot of the stats, which the gaps are closing, and the Bad teams are showing it. If we can go on a run and win 4 or 5 of our next 6 games we will be fine.

Just to be clear, my post wasn't meant to suggest I think the Rams are gonna reel off 12 straight wins. That ain't gonna happen. My point about "hypothetically winning out" was just to underscore that from a math standpoint, since they are only behind by one game in the loss column, the Rams control their own destiny.
But do I think the Rams could go 8-4 or 9-3 the rest of the way? And finish 9-8 or 10-7 and sneak into the playoffs? I think it's "unlikely" but "definitely possible."
When the Rams got crushed in 3 straight games in November 2021, not many here thought the Rams would be hoisting the Lombardi a couple months later. After starting 3-6 last year, not many here thought the Rams would finish 7-1 to make the playoffs.
Many of us have learned to not count out the Rams when coached by Sean McVay.
I'm going with the wife and kids to SoFi this Sunday. Here's hoping we crush the Raiduhs and get back on track.

What surprises me most thus far in the division is the defenses. I figured each team would be better than they have been so far.
So yeah it is wide open. Almost feels NFC East-ish.
The season is young and while a 2-3 start would have been better, I think and believe the Rams can still turn the season around and make a run at the playoffs. If Jeff Fisher was still the coach, I'd be thinking 2-15, but with McVay, there's still room to make a run. The whiners are vulnerable and the rest of the division can be had.
Did you watch The SC(Penn st.) game this weekend?#44 is a complete stud.
What a cool play call for a TD by #44
