If the Rams can win on Monday then I think the worst they finish is 10-7 but I think 11 or 12 wins is still very possible. The Rams need to get the offense untracked earlier in games. They can't keep tempting fate by letting teams hang around. I still think AZ will self destruct before the end of the regular season.

Remember the Cards had 11 wins in 2021 and still ended up losing to the Rams in the wildcard round.

Worst case it is. Posting this with 2:00 left. But it’s over.

NFC West after Week 10

Cards: 6-4, Hammered Jets. Cards are for real folks.
Whiners: 5-4, Beat Bucs. Lucky fuckers
Rams: 4-5 get embarrassed by the Dolphins
Seahawks: 4-5 Bye

OL was terrible. Play calling, terrible, Speights is great against the run, awful in coverage.
5 outta 6 FGs. What a joke.
Worst case - 3rd place, now a reality.

Rozeboom had a helluva game. That's encouraging. The D line played like they've been playing....a bunch of bad asses. DBs could have been better. But....

Miami "amassed" 238 yards.
67 yards rushing (3.0).
171 yards passing
5.5 per attempt.

If your defense does that to the Dolphins with all those weapons, you should win the game.
We know why we lost.

Offense
No TDs
25% on third down
0 of 3 in the Red Zone
2 turnovers

Despite how good our young D has been playing, we know the strength of our team is offense. They'll get it straightened out and get back in the win column vs New England. That's all we can ask. Lots of time left and we're 4-5.....the division leader is 6-4 so with a win Sunday, we're 1 game back.

It's official......our D is for real. Now our offense just has to regain it's mojo.

Love your optimism. Seriously. After a bad loss like that, I can't get my optimism going until Friday.

But just to add: Last year after 9 games, we were 3-6, so we're already one game up on that. There's still time for the OL to come together, starting Sunday in Foxborough.

Ready for some pessimism? Our offense has been outscored by opposing offenses in 7 of 9 games. Our offense has 1 first quarter TD this year (vs Minn). We only have 2 first quarter FGs so we're averaging 1.4 points in the first quarter. That's bad but there's more. We have 7 first half TDs and 7 first half FGs for a whopping total of 70 points (7.7 pts avg in the first half). The good news is.....the D has scored 7 points in the first half bringing our average up to 8.5!!! And yet without the benefit of early leads, our D has been performing well. How will they play if we manage to take early leads and add to them?

We're in some serious need of complimentary football.....and before the season if somebody said that was going to be a problem, we'd all think it was because of our young D. Our D has allowed 8 first quarter TDs and 0 FGs in 9 games. Combine that with 5 in the second quarter along with 7 FGs and we're averaging 12.4 points allowed in the first half. The better news is our D is allowing just 11.1 points per game in the second half (and OT). An offense as talented as we have should definitely be scoring more than 23.5 PPG. Hell take into consideration our D has scored 23 point themselves and it's a net of 21.0 PPG the offense has had to overcome.
