Rams vs Packers

[SoonerLou]

Who should we want to win (or lose)?

I’m gonna say we need to root for rams just because we’ve already beat them. The packers hold a tie breaker with us due to them beating us.

Same. That would put us up 2 on GB and 2 on the Rams, which is actually 3 with the tiebreaker in our favor. Buffer for both teams.

A tie hurts both team and 10 extra minutes has sometimes hurt the following week though the Packers have a bye.
And a tie would take some wind out of both team's sails.

The Rams losing puts us in a terrific position to win the Division and host at least one game in the playoffs. But, we can take care of this ourselves if we can beat the Rams again.

The Packers losing is another game up on them which can be a huge step towards hosting all of our playoff games.

So, the Rams winning is the best thing, but we get a boost either way.

i think a Rams win would be best

the Rams have a tough schedule down the stretch

after going to GB:

Jacksonville at home
at Cards
SEA at home
at MIN
at BAL
SF at home

thats 5 challenging games out of the final 7


GB's schedule isnt a cake walk either:

after LA they have a bye, then its:

CHI at home
at BALT
CLE at home
MIN at home
finish at DET

@ MIN, @ BAL, & SF is a crazy stretch. Good Lord.

Correct answer... tough call on which team I'd rather see win without the tie. Rams win would benefit us in terms of not ending in a tie w/ the Packers where they own the tie-breaker and gives us a clearer path to the #1 seed, but then the Rams winning and beating us the following week erases at least the head-to-head tiebreaker and puts us in jeopardy of not winning the division/even hosting a playoff game. Rams win vs Packers and losing vs us is the ideal scenario, but I'm not sure I'd take the first part without knowing the second part.

I’d have to say Rams. But man is that hard to do.

Yeah. Just looked at the Rams schedule. That is brutal with 4 REALLY tough road games. They ain’t catching us unless we have a complete and utter collapse even worse than last year. Gotta go with them against the Packers because they are going to get beat up after at least twice, IMO.

Give me Green Bay. I’m still not sold the Rams are frauds and not capable of going on a run. I’ll take the division.

I’m kind of with you, but that Robert Woods injury is one I think you’re underestimating & they weirdly seem more predictable with Stafford back there as opposed to Goff.

Root for Rams but I think they’ll get beat. Every decent team they’ve played except TB has handled them pretty easy.

Look at their wins. Detroit, Chicago, Seattle, Houston, Giants, and a colts team that was struggling.

Rodgers dealing with severe toe issues & Packers just lost LG due to ACL tear.

yep that was a costly game for the packers

And the Cardinals lost how many players in the Green Bay game, including KM?

 

[Harry]

Root for the Rams. The Cards have the chance to take out the Rams themselves. That’s what major players do. They handle their own business.

 

[PACardsFan]

I can’t root for either team. Whatever happens happens. Tie is best!!
