With the way the roster is right now there isn't a team that the Rams don't match up with if they are healthy and the weather is tolerable. The Rams are a legit contenders as are the Eagles and Ravens so let them play on an even field and let the chips fall where they may.
McVay knows he screwed up last year by resting all the starters in the last regular season game and basically forfeiting that 3rd seed. Had they played the Eagles a week later they probably win that game in 41 degree weather. McVay was trying not to single out Stafford as the one who really needed the rest. From the way the Seattle game went if Jimmy has the starters on both sides of the ball the Rams win.
Once the season starts he owes it to the team to play to win every damn game. He could have easily just said Matt's arm was sore. No big deal or embarrassment .
If the Rams get decent weather on their east coast games and stay healthy, they will get to the SB they are that good right now. The defensive front 7 looks very good now. If Forbes plays as hoped that secondary will be good enough to holdup if the front 7 plays like they are capable of playing.
The Rams are freaking scary if you are the opposition looking at the schedule.
