Yeah I know it goes without saying that winning this week is important. But HOW important do you think?
To me, it's actually a must win to keep our slim wildcard playoff hopes alive. I think if we start out 1-2 then we can pretty much expect no playoffs. Anyone agree with me? The Dallas game is a must win?
Your thoughts? I realize this is all speculation and guessing but...

Can we lose this game and still make a wildcard appearance?


ps- by the way, i'm 2-0 in the ROD East Fantasy league. Yeah baby!

I have a very good feeling about this week.

Last week I predicted we'd play well but lose a squeaker at the end, turns out we won a squeaker at the end.

This week I get the feeling it's time for the defense to show up BIG TIME.

I think we handle Dallas from the get-go.

2-1 in to the break.

It is not only a must win game but it is also a revenge win for self pride IMO. Time to get back those bastards from stomping our asses last year and restoring my battered fan pride! :)

p.s. I'm 2-0 in ROD fantasy league as well, and predicted to beat down more peeps ;)

any time the Rams play the 49ers the Cowboys or the Vikings it is imperative that they win

even if it means that somewhere a kitten or a puppy dies by sledgehammer that's the price we pay

I was feeling good about this game until ATL started taking TB apart tonight. But, yes, a crucial game if you are talking playoffs. We have already used our mulligan.

I don't read too much into beatings like this. When we weren't very good and then we would beat up good teams like the Saints. You just never know.

Agreed. I've got a big feeling our defense is brutal this week. As brutal as we thought it sounded on paper and should be!
I wanna see sacks, and no yards for Murray!

It's important because Dallas is a perennial 8-8 team and those are the teams you have to beat especially at home.

I think our offense actually puts some things together this week and shows improvement.
I think the D is still a couple weeks away from getting their shit together and offering up beatdowns like we've expected.

I think what is really important is improvement. I want to see good defense, i.e. the Cowboys actually 3 and outing and being kept off balance. The defense is close, and should keep getting better with GW challenging and teaching them every week. Cowboys have a legit playoff-caliber offense, so it is a big challenge.

On offense I want to see more solid play by Davis, continued improved OL play, and how about a better ypc rushing game?

So for me it's not so much the wins/losses as it is I want to see this team play some good d*mn defense. I doubt our offense is ready for a shootout, so they gotta show up this weekend.

Eliminate the penatlies and they have a great shot to win this one. You can't give their offense free yards or take yards away from your own offense against their shitty defense.

I do agree it's a must win. Gotta have a little bounce in the step going into that bye week. They really can't afford to come out of it down.

I HATE the cowgirls. Always have.

The 1st bet I ever made in my life was on a Ram cowgirl game. I bet my friend's Dad (a Doctor) $20. We won and the sorry ass cowgirl dad paid me in pennies he was so butt hurt.

Any time we beat those bitches... The victory is even sweeter.

I have two teams I REALLY HATE! #1) 49ers & #2) Cowboy's, And I like it when The Ram's do #1 & #2 on both of them! ( for those that have not yet taught a child to go to the Bath-room, #1 is Piss and #2 is Shit)

Yeah IMA 40 plus year Cowboy hater from back when they were in the same division as the St.L Cardinals,saw some great games against Staubach live ,always seemed the Cardinals played their best games against them, we need this game bad they are sort of a gatekeeper game where you break into the top half of the league if you can take them.
Beat them and we get Philly in two weeks with all that time to game plan fresh legs and IMO we can sack Foles with just 4 rushing we could be on a roll.
