The Dream Wild Card Scenario

[Loyal]

Could you imagine if Matthew Stafford and the Rams travelled to Ford Field in February to face Jared Goff and the NFC North Champions Detroit Lions?

It would be exciting and gut wrenching for some here. Matthew Stafford, returning to his longtime home in Detroit with all of his Detroit fans who rooted for him and the Rams in Super Bowl 56 and who took a measure of pride in his success that year, now wanting to kick his ass. LA fans who rooted for Jared Goff since his rookie year out of Cal and who followed his progress from afar in Detroit, now are faced with him being an obstacle. Matthew Stafford conquered the Stats Padford nickname and the " he could never win it all" label in Detroit.. Jared is facing a similar question as to whether he has what it takes to elevate a forlorn Lion's club over the Rams and to a Super Bowl title. Sean McVay ultimately decided that Goff couldn't get it done in Los Angeles causing Snead to make a deal with Brad Holmes in Detroit to swap #1 picks in order to change the calculus. So far, McVay has been right about the blockbuster trade for Stafford and now it's Jared' turn.

Wooo boy.

Precisely!

I was just thinking the same thing today. Talk about a storyline. Would be the most bittersweet playoff game of my fan life. Probably for a lot of us.
I will say, Detroit is the only team I'll root for in the playoffs if it's not us.

 

[blackbart]

Would love that scenario, I think the Rams can win that game and shock a lot of people. If the Rams win out, no one will want to see them in the playoffs.

 

[Merlin]

I would love that matchup. If we get in the playoffs I want either Detroit or SF. Detroit because they represent a good chance to advance with that shitty defense of theirs. SF because fuck the shitters and even a chance of derailing them is one worth taking.

 

[Flatlyner]

Detroit is my ideal match up if we manage to make the playoffs. I think it would give us a real shot at getting a win in the playoffs personally. The Lions D has been absent recently and it would set up to allow us to do whatever we want on Offense. Goff has also looked shaky in last few games. I like it.

I really don't mind the Lions as a team and I'll be rooting for them of Philly to win the NFC if we don't.

 

[CGI_Ram]

I think we can beat Detroit… but beating SF, round 1, would be SO FREAKING SWEET!!

 

[sloramfan]

i may be a goff guy, but...

no muther fu@&ing way will i be rooting for him EVER, against the rams...

i root for him against all others... just not my rams....

and for what it's worth... this team will kick their asses....

go rams

Definitely would be quite a story line and weird position for both fan bases.

One thing I am really struggling with is I found myself rooting for the Niners over Philly a few weeks back.

Pretty Fd up I know. I have always hated the Niners more than any team. I grew up in the bay area and lived as a Ram fan through the Niners Dynasties.

A few reasons I think contributed to my new found hatred for the Eagles:

1. I hate that Fking coach and how Egotistical he is. They way he talks to the media and to his assistant coaches.
2. The Tush push. When they used it against us it pushed me off the edge. We had them beat if not for that stupid BS play that needs to be outlawed.
3. The Jalen Hurts hype. I've never seen a QB so overated. He has the most dominant Oline in the NFL and excellent skill players everywhere. In normal conditions he would be a journeyman backup.
4. I was forced to pickup Brock Purdy in my fantasy league with Stafford's plummeting value. Purdy saved my season so hard to hate the dude. Don't get me wrong, I hope he fails now that my season is over.

But yea, weird things afloat at the circle K.

I hope the Niners crush the Eagles then get crushed by some other team on the way to that Lombardi.

No way, bruh. I haven't lived in California since 1989 and it STILL makes me ill to think of a possible Niner's Super Bowl win. Winning Super Bowl 56 by beating Frisco to get there, was the toughest (and sweetest) win in my life. Beating the Bengals was great, but the consequence of losing there wouldn't have been as soul destroying for me as losing to the Niners. They would have probably won that Super Bowl in our house which would have been intolerable.

Man you are tripping. Whiners are by far the most hated team for me and it isn't even close. I could never personally root for them at all, just against them. It's the only team where if anything bad happens, including career ending injuries, I'm happy as fuck because fuck that whole piece of shit organization.

That’s exactly how I feel. If we lose every game all season, but beat the Niners twice, I’d be happy.

I'd rather we won all our games, thanks.

This is the danger of playing fantasy football.

I will be fine with whatever our rams do this year as long as the 9ers lose on their way to the Superbowl. losing the Superbowl works also but I don't want them there at all if the football bosses are paying attention. go rams.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Well of course, but he's just talking worst case scenario. I'd rather we stomp the living shit out of everyone but that's a huge and unlikely ask of any team.

Said it before and I'll say it again. I don't care when it happens but as long as the whiners season ends with a loss at some point I'm good with it.

I could never root for the 49ers over any team. I know beating Seattle helps us but during the game I hated every good play the 49ers made.
