Rams never catch breaks. Will be Seattle or Philly. We know this.

I’m in favor of an opportunity for revenge at Seattle.

Options 1-3 have them on the road.. 4 has them @ home.... I think that it's obvious what the choice would be...
But I'm not afraid to play anybody anywhere. Most talk about @ Philly and Seattle as places/teams they'd like to avoid if we can.
We we're ahead by 19 @ Philly and by 16 and then 7 in OT @ Seattle and then ST's and the D mailed it in and the O was just trying to run clock instead of score. The supposed 2 toughest games are very winnable AFAIC. It's all about execution from 11 guys every play in all 3 phases.
I feel we've have outplayed almost every team on our sched this year despite limited execution from 2 phases in many games.
There's been a noticeable improvement in ST's the last month although they've still had some hiccups mostly on coverage.
There seems to be excitement about Lake's return and how he's single handedly going to change the D. I hope so but remain skeptical..
And Finally. the Rams put 586 yards and 37 points on the Hags 2nd ranked D that flat out shut down what had been a high flying 9er O coming in, 2 weeks later.. That game in Seattle, the 38-37 loss. That's how we'll win our Games in these playoffs, winning games like that..
If the Offense sputters or gets stuffed we're done. Defense won't win us shit imo!

I want the opportunity to knock the 49ers out of the playoffs.

Final 4 they will all be good. Doesn’t matter. I guess if I had a preference Chicago even though I’m fine with Seattle. I have no interest at all playing SF………………..

Have none of us learned? ... We got beat by the Falcons, and the Cardinals made it a hell of a game for 3 qtrs..

Lets just beat Carolina first...

@ Seattle revenge of course, and @ Philly.

Great point.

I want another go at Seattle

I’m always worried playing home underdogs in playoffs….Especially when Panthers already beat us. They have no pressure and nothing to lose so they’ll play loose and free. Weather Saturday in Charlotte is also not helping so I’m not looking forward until Rams take care of what’s in front of them right now

If I had to guess
We beat Carolina
GB beats Chi
Philly beats SF

Rams at Philly is my guess

Rams beat Philly
Seattle beats GB

Rams beats Seattle

Unfortunately all on the road

My wish list we win, GB and SF win so we get a home game very doubtful

There are no strong contenders this year, like Philly and Detroit last year. If Rams don't beat themselves, they have a team that can win the Super Bowl. It really doesn't matter who they play. I would prefer not to play the Eagles, because the Rams just can't seem to beat them lately, but bring anybody on. Rams should beat them if healthy and play 4 quarters.

If we beat Seattle we will have a boner going into the NFC Championship game and will beat anybody.

Dotson needs to play.

I would love for us to pissroll the panthers and then go to Philly and take care of business and finally knock the shit out of the hawks and darnold to get their hopes up for the superbowl just to shatter them and then go take the crown on 9ers home!! Wouldn’t the nfc west hate that hahaha knocking one out and winning it all in the others home!!

Also can the west put the cards up for adoption?

I think it’ll probably be the Eagles. I’m confident the Eagles beat the 49ers, and I think Green Bay upsets the Bears so Seattle would get the lower seeded Packers and Rams would be in Philly

We have a pretty good record vs them Cards since they joined the NFC West and we should be careful what we wish for bro.

^This

In our division, being the toughest in all the NFL, it’s nice to play a team where we can let guys like Forbes, Humphries, Curl, Witherspoon play…

Oh wait. Those are our starters

People don't realize how realistic and possible it is that we might play SF next week at SoFi.

If GB beats Chicago not many people will be surprised.

If the Rams beat Carolina nobody will blink an eye.

If SF beats Philly it will be a surprise but it won't exactly shock the football world.

In that scenario, GB goes to Seattle and SF comes to SoFi.
