I love the positive feelings being expressed. Back in week 6 there was too much negativity.

Now people look at Shula's defense with pride, as they should. They see a unit that is very good now and headed for greatness. We can only imagine the feelings of the pathetic Bengal fans who went from elation going to SB LVI to not even making the playoffs with a team in disarray.

I expect Stafford to come out on fire. He physically wasn't the same after the Buffalo game. It's why I suspected his tendonitis. Now with 2 weeks of rest he only needs to get through a maximum of 4 games to walk away with another Lombardi and his possible retirement with 2 rings. Of everyone on the team, Stafford has got to be the most motivated. He waited his whole life to be on a team that would give him multiple chances at Super Bowls.

The Rams are fully healthy for the most part. Matt has all his weapons and a proven OL in front of him. This young defense knows that if they play fast and disciplined ball they can beat anyone. Confidence on the defense is as high as I've seen it in years. It's not just bravado, they have proved to themselves and to the NFL they can be a force to be reckoned with.

They will be facing a very talented but now embarrassed team who got their butts handed to them on prime time TV. They will come into this game geared up and highly motivated. They took the Rams lightly a few weeks ago, they won't make the same mistake. I expect this game to live up to it's prime time billing.

Rams are now 1.5 dogs, down from 2.5.

Money coming in on our boys.

This is a hard game to handicap. How do you predict which Stafford shows up? And similarly, which Darnold shows up?

All things being equal, I give Rams the edge being at home with McVay.

Game may very well come down to the kicker, and ours is looking pretty darn good right now.

No team should have to play on a short week during the playoffs. No reason besides NFL/Network greed for MNF during the playoffs. 3 games Sat and 3 games Sun.

I am in full agreement the NFL is a greedy business but......MNF playoff games aren't any different from Saturday playoff games. The Chargers and Houston both played this past Sunday and have to play Saturday (6 days). The MNF winner (Rams) will have to play 6 days later in the Divisional round (Sunday). Now if they schedule that game on Saturday, not only are they greedy, they'd be putting their proverbial thumb on the scale. I was actually pleased the Rams got the MNF game. More rest and another day to heal, not to mention knowing the outcome of all the other playoff games before kicking off.

Not only that, but no team should have to play on a short week AND travel across the country as well.

If Rams beat Vikings, it’s quite possible we will have to travel across the country to either Philadelphia or Tampa on a days worth of less rest. There are 4 possible outcomes of the 2 other NFC playoff games. In 2 of the 4, we go to Philadelphia or Tampa.

I think Wash is getting overlooked. They won 12 games and people talk about them like they’re a 9 win wildcard team.

After learning about how big-mouth Campbell dissed the Rams vs Vikings I wouldn't mind playing them in Detroit and shove those words down his craw in front of those dickhead fans.

The Rams aren't intimidated by anyone. If all three components i.e. offense, defense, and STs play to their potential this team matches up with anyone and outmatches most. It's the Vikings that will come in needing to prove something, not the Rams. The Rams beat them once just a few weeks ago.

Every win from here on out will be sweeter than normal. All those being dismissive of this team need to get a dose of humility. When the Rams win the SB that has to be some kind of record for doing it with a roster full of rookie and second-year starters.

I also heard the Jets want to talk to Ray Farmer about their GM opening. Teams are looking hard at how former Ram front office exec Holmes built the Lions into a powerhouse primarily via the draft in just a few years. I expected it was going to happen, whether or not Ray gets the job. The entire Ram organization is being looked at as an example of how to run a franchise. Particularly in how they have drafted so damn well, meaning their scouting is top-tier. Players like Kupp (3rd rd), Nacua (5th rd), Lake (6th rd), Limmer (6th rd) and Whittington (6th rd) to name a few.

It's a credit to Snead and McVay to recognize good people when they see them.

I forgot about the game after the Lions angle. That's a good one.

I noticed how much the Lions were getting away with against the Vikings recievers too and i was think more in terms of if we end up playing them. Will it continue? Will we have an answer? Will it be the 2001 SB all over again?

Hopefully we blitz Darnold in similar fashion, didnt handle it well obviously. Would like to see us keep the pressure on him, dont let him get comfortable after the Lions game.

If if if the Rams got the opp to play Detroit, I am assuming McVay (and KOC if they play them) will be in the leagues ear about the physical DB play.

IF the Rams get to/win the SB, they will likely have go through multiple teams with 13+ wins. That's insane.
Vikings 14-3, Lions 15-2, Eagles 14-3, Chiefs 15-2, Bills 13-4
