The Rams are the most overrated team in football right now.
Watkins was a easily their best receiver who gave Kupp and Woods more opportunities to make plays. Woods and Krupp aren’t exactly premiere players.
Quinn was their 2nd best pass rusher who worked well with Donald. Now teams can exclusively double (even triple) Donald and not have to worry about much of anyone else.
I don’t believe in Joyner. He didn’t Have a single turnover until last year and the loss of the pass rush won’t help him.
We’ll have to see but I can really feel a 3 team battle with all of those teams hovering around 8-8 to 10-6. [Reply]

I think that's a stretch but they're definitely the best team in the NFC West until proven otherwise.
I don't think anyone is putting them in the same stratosphere as the Eagles, Vikings or Saints, all of whom are clearly ahead of them in terms of their current programs, but it would be shocking to see them miss the playoffs. [Reply]

I agree the Rams don't look like anything special on paper. Sure, they have got a very nice secondary if Talib maintains his level of play They've got Aaron Donald and Gurley and Goff on offense but overall I don't feel like it is a really strong team. [Reply]

Year 1 in Wade Pillips Defense is always good. However what Wade Phillips lacks in LA that he has had anywhere else is a PASS RUSH. It didn't improve when they lost Robert Quinn.
But Wade has always given up more points "HISTORICALLY" year 2, than year 1.

Why would the tape of Washington players have any bearing on how he likes to use his players in LA. It's two completely different personel groups. So yeas, it does make a difference. Really?

Tell me what Goff did that was good? He sure can dump the ball off to his RB, but what else was he good at. Look at his QBR

Great season, who is their WR threat again?

Yeah......... They traded him......... So they don't have him anymore..... So that is a lose for the team. [Reply]
