McVay and AD need to start getting in the refs ear early, when LJ breaks contain there will be some holding going on, our best chance to win is for them to get flagged early and often. This would be a good week for the officials to make up for all the uncalled holds on AD in the 1st 12 games. I know it wont happen but its the best way for AD to be the equalizer in this matchup. He is a 1 man wrecking crew and the league owes him some make up calls.

Through 12 games, the Ravens are the 12th best team in league history in DVOA (again, just through 12 games).

Which makes sense....they've rarely trailed this season. They're at home and coming off a bye.

I know we would never do this, but I'd almost rather just sit Stafford/Kupp/Puka/Kyren for this game since they've all had injuries this season. Our path to the playoffs is winning the next three after the Ravens game, and by Stafford getting hurt against Dallas and missing the Green Bay game, we basically got two losses just out of that game.
Say WHAT!?

Damn ya'll. Not sure I can remember so many of my favorite ROD peeps laying down so hard for a game.

I live in MD and watch this weird ass raven team weekly. They are NOT as invincible as some of you think. They are a well coached, but flawed team IMO. I don't necessarily expect a win this Sunday, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Go RAMS!!!

A coworker (9er fan) told me his sister got him 2 tickets a couple of weeks ago to their Raven game on Christmas for $130 each. He says people are now asking $300 for seats in the nose bleed sections. I told him he better scalp them now because after the beat down the Rams give them this week ( putting most of the Ravens on IR) the game will have lost most of its luster.

I think if the Rams can run the ball they win.

If defensively they force Jackson to play in the pocket he's less effective. Donald and Turner must have a big day.

Lose this game and it was expected. Win and it changes the narrative on what the media around the country think of the Rams. Especially if Stafford has a good game.

I've seen quite a lot of media getting onboard with the Rams' playoff charge. I've even seen us ranked as high as 10 in this week's power rankings, which would have been unimaginable just a couple of weeks ago.

Normally, I'm a realist and don't buy into hype, but I;ve been getting this gut feeling the Rams just might show up and pull out a win. Three game win streak with the OL in sync, both O and D playing very well and with an attitude.

Conditions are right ffor them to beat a better team.

I refuse to get my hopes up this week. But yes it sure would be nice to beat these bastids in their house even if it's an ugly scrum of a game.
