When bradford went down, the most likely finish for Rams is 3rd place in NFC west but being competitive in all games. Week 1 happened, I let the loss from week 1 sink in.
It is making me feel worse the more time passes when I look at Arizona's win. They don't have last year stalwarts honey badger, Dansby, Washington, Dockett, no pass rushers of any kind. And still they gave up 2nd fewest rushing yards. They kept one of the top 6-7 QBs in the league (Rivers) in check. They eeked out a win that should be a loss. Played their first, second, third round players from 2014 draft and they all contributed in the win.
Rams in theory without Bradford should still be better than the cardinals. If Rams finish with a lower record than Arizona, I don' t know if 2015 will be any different for Rams with Cardinals getting healthy. So here is hoping that Rams finish at least 3rd place this year. I still think they will (and then i remember week 1's effort)
