I agree with you, that's why I'll have my fingers and toes crossed!!!

No matter what happens, I think we're going to have to play the 9ers,

either to make the playoffs or to fight for that 6 seed,

while the 9ers will be fighting to beat us for that 1st seed.

I think Rams can and will beat the Niners.

It’s owning our own path: we lost some early games we should have won.

It’s now gonna be do or die.

[RedAlice]

After watching the whiners tonight, I like our chances. And it you want a super confident Rams team heading into the playoffs, beat the whiners’ ass week 18

You were RIGHT the year we won the SB.

I so didn’t want the final game to be v SF. You wanted it.

We won.

Niners have a QB issue now. We all saw it. Mcvay can and will capitalize on that.

I think Rams win week 18.

I am not sure about Steelers being an easy win v Hawks, so just want that mentality erased. Rams own their own Destiny right now.

[ramsman34]

Yep. Doesn’t really matter what the other teams do if the Rams handle their business. Take the business trip to NY, best the Giants. Then take the trip to SF and smack those fools down. Then get ready for your next business road trip, hopefully to Detroit.

5-game win streak, then the Super Bowl.

[RedAlice]

I do so like your thinking.

I also do think Rams win W18.

Purdy is an MVP favorite?

Heck, he’s not even the best QB in his division.

He was exposed last night.

If Lions win out, and we beat Niners, then Lions get the BYE.

Wouldn’t that be something…

I’ll be rooting for Pittsburgh and wanting them to win.

It’s just not a given.

We all will be rooting for the Steelers. And no it's not a given. It's a toss up. Seattle's last 4 wins came by 4, 3, 3 and 3 points. And there are 5 losses intermingled among them. Three of Pittsburgh's last 4 wins have come by 6, 4 and 4. And they have 4 losses intermingled too. This week they won 34-11. Rudolph was 17 of 27, for 290, 2 TD - 0 Int. But I expect their D to have another good game.

The Rams game will be ending as the Seattle/Pittsburgh game begins, so we can watch that game. In a way, I feel like we're acting a bit sissified wanting somebody else to do our work for us. Beat the Giants AND the niners and we're in. Not only would we be in, we'd be a 10 win team.....just 2 games behind the division winners. I like the sound of that much better.

NOBODY had that on their bingo card back in early September.

[SoCalRam78]

Rams can still get in at 9-8 even if Seahawks go 10-7.

Green Bay and Vikings both would have to finish 8-9. They play each other this week. So one team will have 9 losses and be out. Vikings still have to play at Detroit week 18 and that could be a huge game for Detroit for seeding. Green Bay also plays the Bears at home. Bears aren’t a gimme game.

Again most important game outside Rams game next week is Pitt and Seattle. Pitt tho squarely back in hunt. Mason Rudolph played well last week. We’ll see

I was watching 49ers-Ravens game on mute do I don’t know the extent of the stinger injury to Purdy’s left shoulder. One week, 2 weeks, no lost time? The 49ers will be playing for HFA and the bye unless they lose this week so I don’t see them sitting any healthy starters. Huge pressure off if Hags lose and we beat the Giants. Not many counting on that scenario. Tyrod Talylor also changes the Giants game plan.

[PARAM]

Not many counting on that scenario.

Not many were counting on even being in any such scenario. Two words come to mind. House money.

[Flash]

There are two Week 17 clinching scenarios for @RamsNFL:

1) Win + SEA loss to PIT
*or*
2) Win + MIN-GB tie
