At this moment it's really looking like 9-8....

After the bye:
GB - L
JAC - W (hopefully)
AZ - L
SEA - W (we seem to rise to the occasion for them)
MIN - L
BAL - L
SF (do I even have to say it)

Now - maybe Von Miller gets up to speed and changes that total....and maybe OBJ replaces Woods - maybe adds some TDs along the way....but barring that - someone tell me where they see anything better....

I could not agree more. Morris needs to be fired and McVay is starting to tread on thin ice no matter how many wins he has if he can’t get this team to the Super Bowl Stan Kroenke will be ready to make changes.

The Rams seem to play well on the road in Arizona (their last loss there was in 2014), so they might win that one, or possibly defeat the Vikings, who are highly inconsistent.

So at the moment I'm figuring perhaps 10-7, however with a touch of good luck 'down the stretch' even 11-6... :( :? :|

Sean McVay has to stick with the running game and stay balanced. Raheem Morris is not a good fit as the defensive coordinator. It’s week 10 and we are still making adjustments. Our secondary is week opposite Jalen Ramsey and the linebackers are not physical at the point of attack. We need to replace Reeder he’s a liability and so is Rochelle at corner he had no answer for Samuels.

If McVay continues to refuse to run the ball, I am fully on board for a 9-8 finish.

The sky definitely seems to be falling but still only three brutal losses. The bye came at the right time for us. We definitely gotta get our defense on track. I think Stafford will rebound…. Or I sure hope but the most disturbing trend is McVay abandonment of the run game. He loves his gadgets and he is too impatient for a run game, even if it’s working. He doesn’t adapt. He never will, he is who he is.

This was going through my head as soon as I went to bed after SanFran's last TD.
The way this team is playing and its failures by the coaching staff to make the right adjustments given the talent at their disposal is most certainly a true representation of how our season will most likely finish.

It will be nothing short of a disaster and a capitulation of the 2nd half of the season which could result in heads rolling given the 'all-in' approach the franchise has adopted.

My 9-8 prediction looking good

The chance of the Rams winning the rest is a LOT dimmer than they losing the rest. They really could end up 7-10 but I agree with the OP with the exception of SF. Somehow I think they nut up for that one assuming they are still in the playoff hunt. If not then...it will be just another game I don't watch.

I see them going 5-2 the rest of the way ending up at 12-5. GB will give them problems as will Lamar Jackson with Balt.
The Rams have problems with fleet, athletic, QBs. They should handle 'Zona as they have in the past. They should be able to handle the rest of the schedule.

Its a long season and there is constant ebbs and flows. The Rams are at an ebb at this point but will snap out of it.The sky
is NOT falling.

I recall GB's first game this year, 35-0 to someone. Who knows? Who cares? Pundits were saying that it would be a lost year.
They look good now. You are only as good as your last game.

Rams will bounce back. McVay's track record says so. About 3/4 of the NFL would love to be 7-3.

The only team left on our schedule that plays the smash mouth football is Baltimore and SF again of course. We can beat any of these teams and will if McVay balances the offense even just a little bit. Morris needs a stern talking to about how he runs a defense and we need to shift into attack mode instead of the bendy BS he's running now-sacks and tackles for loss disrupt an offense and the attacking style can do that with our personnel. SF would not have converted third and 4 all day if we were in their face with a short zone and attack style with LB and safeties complimenting AD on crushing the pocket but Raheem just kept the secondary deep because he sucks.....McVay must step in and get rid of that bend don't break BS

The blueprint to beat the Rams is clearly out there now. Every team is going to use the same strategy. Unless we make drastic changes with the defensive scheme, meaning fire Morris, we are looking at 10-7 at best. We all know McVay is NOT going to fire Morris. So, the question is should we let McVay go at the end of the season?

I would say McVay is not on the hot seat yet- even with his BS play calling and ditching the run (that has to be slapped in his face). The loss was on Stafford vs Titans. This one was on the whole team/coaches- but especially the D. How do we have AD and JR and now VM....and LF...and we look terrible? Our DC stinks.

10-7 or 11-6, which likely will result in the same thing. A road WC playoff game.

8-9

At best

This franchise is finished

Needs to be rebuilt from the top down

Ummmm, with what, exactly?

This year was supposedly our teams's "going all in to win Super Bowl LVI" season, wasn't it?

We need to trade Donald,Ramsey,Kupp,Stafford for draft picks

And fire the coaching staff whole

2nd half season schedule is tough. 1st half schedule was a complete joke so yes I am worried about the Rams overall record by the end of the year. Keep in mind we just had our first real major injury with Woods. What is going to happen when more key players get hurt???

11-6

I think it is time to reach for the smelling-salts. Did you actually follow the team through the Linehan, Spagnuolo and Fisher years of misery? Did you?? Do you know how many top coordinators McVay has lost over the last four years? To say that McVay and his whole staff need to be fired is juvenile and ludicrous to say the least. If you had any credibility it is now completely gone.

That's about how I see it. If we don't get our heads out of our @ss we aren't even going to make the playoffs.
