If we can pull off a win at Seattle then

[STLRAMSFAN]

The rest of our schedule does not look that bad. There is only one team with a better then 500 record. Thats Chicago and its at home. Carolina looks like our toughest road team and they have only beat one team by more then 3 points this year and that was 8 points. Minnesota has only scored 7 points and 3 points there last two games. There is no one that I don't feel we have a good shot against except maybe Chicago and thats at home. If we can beat Seattle we will have a good shot at the division IMO.

I do think the Rams will win the division.

[SJackson39]

I think we can go 5-2 in those games and make the playoffs

[bruce4life]

we've lost 3 in a row and we're talking about playoffs... i'm just worried about the next game simple as that. then if we win we can talk

Yeah wow, optimism is great, but look at how we've been playing!!! I know I'm known as the pessimistic guy on the board here at ClanRam, but come on, we need a COMPLETE turn around on defense to have any possibility of winning any more games, and to make it to the playoffs.

I see at least three losses here based on how we've been playing recently. Teams like Minnesota, who may have scored only 3 and 7 in their last two games, certainly aren't going to have problems moving the ball on us based on what we've been allowing on defense. Carolina is a dangerous team that I wouldn't underestimate, and obviously it's hard to see a win against Chicago right now since their only two hiccups have come against teams playing well defensively against them. I wouldn't rule out Washington giving us a fight as well, and I'm sure our two divisional guys will be fired up for their games as well. I just would really not get too comfortable with anything on our schedule at this point.

If the Rams can fix the defense, the could win all of those games. Of course, right now, that seems only slightly more likely than Shaquille O'Neal becoming an 80% foul shooter.

I did not say it would be easy but I think we have a fairly favorable schedule. I don't think our schedule is as tough as some of the other teams that are playing winning teams. If we could win at Seattle and we lost three games as you said we would be 9-7 and that would not make it impossible to win the division or at the least get to the playoffs. The defense has proved me wrong before but I don't think they can play any worse then they are right now. I think they will improve and the offense should get better as the season goes on IMO. It takes a while in a new offensive scheme for the players and the coaches to get used to the new scheme and the players rolls IMO. I hold out hope yet for this season but I am not going to Vegas just yet to lay down the bet we will win the division. I am not that sure how good Seattle is right now. I think they could have a collapse this year. They have struggled at times as well.

Lets look at Seattles schedule after they play us.
They have to play Denver and San Diego. Greenbay is 2-2 on the road this year and they have scored 27 or more points in 4 of 8 games. They could upset Seattle. At Arizona and at San Francisco could be two tough road games. I could see them losing three games and maybe more.

I see Seattle going 6-2, certainly no worse than 5-3 the rest of the way. That means they would finish at worst than 10-6. Will the Rams go 6-2 to tie? No chance. I don't think the Rams D is capable of anything better than helping the team finish 8-8.

[RAM-BO]

Remind me again why we are mad at our D for having trouble with arguably the best offense in the NFL? I think the real problem is 4 fumbles with 3 lost.

[BigGameMN]

I think next week is the season, we want in the playoffs we gotta win. The only other shot we have is if 8-8 gets us in again. Which looking at the other teams is not entirely impossible.

Because it wasn't merely the best offense in the NFL they've had problems with, but just about every offense they've faced this season?

agreed...........I'm optismist, always am but we will have to play our BUTTS off to win at the Hawks...the season is THAT game...

[Guam rammer]

even if we win at seattle it doesnt look good. we still have contest against Carolina, Chicago and Minnesota. If our D doesnt get going, we could be in for more rebuilding during the offseason. Times a wasting and the D really needs to stop everybody. Our O also needs to rid themselves of costly mistakes during games. If we go into the post season on offense alone, it'll be one and out because our d wont be able to stop the more elite teams in the playoffs. CROSS YOUR FINGERS!!!

If we can pull off a win at Seattle??? We better win or it's going to be doom and gloom!
