How good are the Rams?

[football karma]

prior to last nights game/ this weekends results:

the collective record of the Rams opponents has a .400 winning percentage. Exclude their loss to the Cardinals, and the winning percentage of the teams they beat is .333. They have beaten one team with a winning record -- the Bucs at 6-2. If you look at their opponents and exclude those opponents games vs the Rams: the winning % is .435

the corresponding figures for the Cards: their opponents have a .524 winning percentage. Teams they have beaten have a .471 winning percentage. If you look at their opponents and exclude those opponents games vs the Cards: the winning % is .584

take it for whats its worth

We had the toughest schedule in football i read somewhere through 8 games. 8-1 Rams whole schedule has been pretty pancake.

 

[Chopper0080]

Rams are a good team just like we are.

 

[slanidrac16]

Rams are a good team just like we are.

I agree but I don’t think they should be on a pedestal like most pundits have them.

 

[football karma]

also, for what its worth:

remaining strength of schedule

Rams remaining opponents win %: .530
Cards remaining opponents win %: .448

 

[CardLogic]

Good enough to be one game out of first in the division!

I thought we were talking about the Rams, not the Cowboys? lol

 

[football karma]

after looking at their schedule to date--

I think its a legitimate question if the Rams are an elite team, or, a good team

their 7-2 record can be explained by an easy schedule. that schedule will get harder over the remainder of the season.

We'll have to see if adding Von Miller to an already strong DL makes an impact. He didn't play last night.

 

[Cheesebeef]

They’re good but not as good as us.

 

[SECTION 11]

They are good enough to beat us. That’s for certain.

 

[slanidrac16]

They are good enough to beat us. That’s for certain.

Any team is good enough to beat any other team if you don’t bring your A game. See jags vs bills.

 

[Stout]

They are good enough to beat us. That’s for certain.

That remains to be seen this season.

The next game against the Cardinals, I bet the Rams win.

I doubt McVay lets Kingsbury outcoach him two times in a row.

Before the season, I pointed out that if you looked at the Rams vs the Cardinals, the Cardinals were a better team overall when you accounted for overall depth.

Sure the Rams have Donald, Ramsey, and a few other superstars, but the Cardinals have better ILB depth, better CB depth, etc. That said, I think the Rams top end talent is enough to win a ton of games if they are healthy.

 

[slanidrac16]

You got a point! Lol

 

[Jetstream Green]

They are good enough to beat us. That’s for certain.

We are also good enough to beat them and already have. Case in point, we have a chance to go all the way and as a Cardinal fan that feels wonderful... both teams as a whole are great

Coaches like players can grow. Belichick and Carroll both grew as head coaches. Kliff is young and there is no denying he has gotten better... yeah, the present Kliff could out coach him again

Cardinals; 8-1, PF-277, PA-155, Net Points-122
The Rams; 7-2, PF-261, PA-196, Net Points-65

Cardinals; 8-1, PF-277, PA-155, Net Points-122
The Rams; 7-2, PF-261, PA-196, Net Points-65

And we've played a tougher schedule so far as well.

man... we are just smoking teams by almost two TDs per game on average.

Indeed!

This.

Let me get to the core... we have Rodney Hudson now

KK has a vote.

And McVay has a QB notoriously prone to brain farts.

I am going to try to not go darkside on this team again. My CFDD (Cardinal Fan Disbelief Disorder) flairs up too often this season.

This team is for real, tough as nails and just beats the opponent down. This year has shaped up into something pretty special.
