I believe the Rams can't win the division anymore if the 49ers also win tonight.

do they have a shot at the wildcard

do they have a shot at the wildcard

The Rams, Seahawks, and 49ers have all clinched playoff spots. It's who wins the division that's up for grabs.

 

[Reb Brown]

They won’t have to do much to beat this team.

And the #1 seed. I believe the 49ers control their own destiny with wins tonight and next week.

We have gathered here to bury the cardinals, not to praise them.

The evil that men do lives after them.
The good is oft interred with their bones.

other than lift a finger

The NFL flexing that Niners-Seahawks game to Saturday could bite this team in the ass because it will likely give the Rams nothing to play for now against us. That means all starters sit and that gives us our best chance at a completely meaningless W that will do nothing but hurt our ability to get the best player possible to add to this joke of a team.

Won’t they still be playing for facing Tampa/Carolina instead of Philly or Chicago?

Seems worth playing starters for. At least for the first half until they have a 21 point lead.

Yes. That is worth playing for

Oh, that may be. I hope so.

I bet Rams try to win because NFL teams usually do.

only chance for us is if their coach decides to sit out but even then…

That’s freaking savage I can’t handle it

 

[Harry]

They need to win to have a chance finish 5th and host a first round playoff game. That’s big time motivation.

Don’t worry—our front office will screw up the pick anyway.

I'd figure as much. They can still grab #5, and they need a get right game after that. Who better than yours truly.

Yes. Do you really want to head into the playoffs losing to the CARDINALS????
