Rams vs. Eagles divisional round recap: man, they really had a shot at the end of this game to upset the Eagles in Philadelphia. Crucial mistakes down the stretch were the difference between hosting an NFC Championship game and their season ending abruptly. But, this wasn't necessarily a "Super Bowl or Bust" type roster. Next year, there's a legitimate opportunity to bring in some talent and ensure your Super Bowl window is back open for at least one more season. But there will be questions: what does Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp's futures look like? Can they rely on draft picks and available cap space to ensure they get back to the dance? Only time will tell. Great season: we appreciate you all.
Rams vs. Eagles divisional round preview - do the Rams have enough left offensively and defensively to be able to hang with the Eagles in Philadelphia? The forecast is calling for some snow, which could affect the way both of these teams approach their gameplan. Regardless, the Rams' defense needs another stellar performance to force Jalen Hurts to become one dimensional and to find a way to slow Saquon Barkley down, while the offense needs to start fast and put together a near perfect gameplan to be able to combat Vic Fangio and the number one defense in the league.
Rams absolutely dismantled the Minnesota Vikings in State Farm Stadium and are now headed to Philadelphia for a date in the divisional round with the Eagles. How did they do it? They have the superior head coach/quarterback, and had a gameplan defensively, led by a young core, that had Sam Darnold seeing ghosts all night. The Vikings were no slouch, they were a 14-win team this season but couldn't get past the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams in any capacity. Do the Rams have a legitimate shot against the Eagles, with a chance for redemption? We very much think so.
Rams are now preparing to play the Vikings in the first round of the Wild Card playoffs in ARIZONA because of the LA wildfires. An unfortunate situation for the Rams who were set to host a playoff game and were estimated to have a massive home field advantage. Regardless, the Rams have a few things they can focus on to ensure they win this game and advance to the divisional round: starting fast, generating tons of pressure and making sure they perform better in the red zone than their opponents. Praying for those effected by the fires. Please reach out to us if there's anything we can do to help!
Rams lose in the finale to the Seattle Seahawks and finish the season 10-7. They officially own the 4 seed in the NFC and will host the 14-win Minnesota Vikings (5 seed) in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. We dove into the Rams' loss against Seattle and why we believe Jordan Whittington needs snaps in the playoffs, the progression of special teams/Joshua Karty, Mike LaFleur calling plays, the effort from the defense behind Giff Smith/Chris Shula, and more. Additionally, we briefly previewed the Vikings coming off their loss in Detroit, and will dig into them more later this week for our official Rams/Vikings Wild Card round preview.
THE RAMS ARE OFFICIALLY NFC WEST CHAMPIONS! They needed help from the Bills, Bengals, Commanders and Vikings to finish the job this weekend, and they got it. Their game against Seattle in the final week of the season isn't quite meaningless because of the playoff seeding scenario's, but the Rams took care of their business, controlled their own destiny and were insanely impressive coming off of their bye week for the 2nd straight year. The real question now is: how far can they go?
Rams need to handle business against Arizona on Saturday AND get some help from a handful of other teams to clinch the NFC West. Considering how Arizona has been playing over the last few weeks, Rams fans should be confident in this team to get a big win at home after a road trip. Of course, we remember back to earlier on this season when the Cardinals put up 41 points on our defense and tweeted a "yawning" emoji following the win, but this Rams team is coming off 4 straight wins and are poised to win the division. Every potential playoff scenario is featured in this episode.
The Rams have won 4 straight games (and back-to-back road games) to improve to 9-6 and are now in full control of the NFC West with only 2 weeks to go. The Cardinals, Seahawks and 49ers all lost yesterday and now Arizona and San Francisco are eliminated from playoff contention, and the Rams are hosting Arizona on Saturday night for a shot to become NFC West champions. This season has been a rollercoaster in many ways, but it's not about how you start. It's about how you finish. And this Rams team is poised to make some legitimate noise in the post-season.
The Rams have to travel to New Jersey to play the Jets this weekend, in a game that many would consider a trap. McVay hasn't historically coached well in cold weather games, but this Rams team is scorching hot and is in first place in the NFC West. They have a chance to put this race to bed early if they can win the next 2 games and Seattle loses this weekend to Minnesota. What do the Rams need to do in this game in order to head back to Los Angeles with a win? Run the ball consistently, establish dominance at the line of scrimmage, and ensure Aaron Rodgers is on the ground early and often.
The Rams SWEPT the 49ers for the first time since 2018. It increases their playoff odds to 52%, while the 49ers remain in the basement of the NFC West with a 0.1% chance to make the playoffs this season. The Rams theoretically slammed the 49ers Super Bowl window shut, in an ugly win that puts them in prime position to make some noise in the final 3 games of the regular season and win the NFC West. Will they do it? We very much feel like they will.
The Rams have an opportunity to sweep the 49ers for the first time since 2018. We know the history of these two teams in the McVay/Shanahan era, but the Rams are in the process of playing their best football after putting up 65 total points in their last 6 quarters combined vs. New Orleans and Buffalo. They were able to get the job done earlier this season without Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp and a healthy offensive line. All of these things are FINALLY in place, and the Rams are STILL underdogs to the 49ers on a short week. What's your prediction on what's going to happen tomorrow night?
Rams took care of business against the MVP favorite, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills in SoFi Stadium tonight in DRAMATIC fashion. Absolutely incredible offensive performance (by both teams) but in particular Sean McVay, Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua and the Rams' offense on third down, in the red zone and seemingly in every single crucial situation. Are the Rams going to make a legitimate playoff push and potentially win the NFC West? There's most definitely a chance. But they have to make sure they're ready to go against the 49ers on a short week. If they do, they'll move to 8-6 and will have swept the 49ers and beat them 3 straight games, going back to last year.
The Rams need this win to dramatically increase their playoff odds. Do they really have a shot? We think they may. The Bills struggle against the run, as well as defending against play-action and teams who run of chunk of plays out of condensed formations, which is exactly what the Rams' offense is doing right now. They've been much better since Week 8, when they got back their 2 primary pass catchers in Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. But how on earth are they going to stop the MVP favorite Josh Allen? It's a really tall task for an inexperienced defense. The bottom line: you can't stop him. You can only try to slow him down.
The Rams took care of business after a really shaky start in New Orleans yesterday. Scoring 0 points in the first half hadn't happened under Sean McVay since the 2018 Super Bowl vs. New England and the Rams hadn't won a game after scoring 0 points in the first half since 2009. But, they responded immediately in the 2nd half with some really good play designs, consistency in the redzone and discipline on both sides of the ball. Do they have a chance to go 4-1 down the stretch with 3 of their next 5 games being against NFC West opponents? That seems to be the magic number.
The Rams were physically dominated in all phases last night: in prime time, in their home stadium in front of the GSOT. This team isn't consistent enough right now to make any sort of noise, but the NFC West is entirely up for grabs and the Rams somehow are only a game out of first place. What should you be expecting from the Rams for the rest of the season, knowing they have a handful of tough match-ups around the corner and finish the season with the Seahawks and Cardinals at home? Tap in. Comment your thoughts, like and subscribe.
The Rams need a win at home vs. the Philadelphia Eagles, who are the 2nd best team in the NFC right now. The Eagles are coming off some extra rest before they travel to Los Angeles, and both teams have a tendency to start slow. Is the Eagles' 6-game win streak a little bit of a mirage, considering the teams they've beaten? Are the Rams actually better than what we've seen in their first 10 games, now that they're healthy and are starting to get more efficient in the red zone now that their weapons are consistently on the field?
Rams had to travel to a tough east coast environment and were able to overcome some defensive struggles and put away the Patriots late in this game. Tons of credit is due to how well the offensive line played, Matthew Stafford, and the offense in totality. The defense (aside from Braden Fiske and a few others) struggled, especially in coverage against a rookie QB. The Rams need all three phases to play well against the Eagles on Sunday night.
The Rams are desperate for a win yet again, coming off a really disappointing loss to the Miami Dolphins this past Monday night. They're currently 4.5pt favorites, but have to travel to the east coast to play an early game against a team that has won 2 of their last 3 and are starting to play the role of "spoiler". Will the Rams get back on track?
Rams had an opportunity at home to essentially end a 2-win team's season last night and squandered the opportunity in a really ugly way. Their offense is supposed to carry the load and is the 2nd most expensive unit in football, but self-inflicted wounds (red zone inefficiency, penalties, turnovers), and a re-shuffled offensive line absolutely killed any momentum that they tried to establish. Meanwhile, the Rams' defense continues to over exceed expectations, led by the DROY Jared Verse. Brought to you by our partner, Autograph!

Rams are eyeing 4 straight victories with the Dolphins on their way to SoFi Stadium. The 2-win Dolphins since Tua returned from injury are playing their best football, which makes this match-up a little more difficult than expected for the Rams. Not only will the Dolphins come prepared offensively with their quick pass game, but their secondary has also been pretty damn good at preventing high-powered offenses from creating explosive plays consistently. Regardless, we feel the Rams' young front is going to continue on this overwhelmingly positive trajectory and the Rams' offense with Puka and Kupp healthy are capable of beating anyone. The Rams' offense is also getting back some re-enforcements upfront, which is another reason to be encouraged. Brought to you by our partner, Autograph!

The Rams win their 3rd straight game on a dramatic walk-off homerun to Demarcus Robinson in Seattle. Their first road win of the season comes in a game that was highly penalized (Puka Nacua was ejected) and felt like a game that could've easily slipped away after Seattle scored at the end of the 4th quarter and ended up winning the toss and receiving in overtime. The Rams' young defense is hungry, and this is no longer the 1-4 Rams that we saw earlier this season. This is a .500 football team, in 2nd place in the division and is looking to get back into the playoffs. Are the Rams now going to be buyers at the trade deadline and look to improve their roster in the next few weeks? Brought to you by our partner, Autograph!

The Rams are back and the season has just begun. Rams are getting ready to travel to Seattle for the first time in 4+ weeks, with an opportunity to claim 1st place in the NFC West with a win over the Seahawks and an Arizona Cardinals loss. This offense is top-3 when Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp are both on the field, and Jared Verse is pissed off that the Seahawks decided to draft Byron Murphy II over him just 3 picks prior in the 2024 NFL Draft. We're expecting the Rams to come away with a win in this game, specifically because we still haven't figured out what Seattle's identity is quite yet. All that + Nick's Picks of the week and a very special theme song. Brought to you by our partner, Autograph! Referral Code: RAMSBROS Referral Link: https://link.ag.fan/RAMSBROS
The Rams you all love are f*cking back. This team is poised to win now and make a run at the playoffs. It's time to start believing in this head coach (now the franchise leader in wins), the 37-year-old Super Bowl winning QB, and the young, hungry defense that is playing better each week under first-year defensive coordinator Chris Shula. The division is very much up for grabs, and the time to win is now. The trade rumors have all been shot down. Let's rally together and go win some more football games down the stretch.

What is going on in Los Angeles? There are a handful of trade rumors floating around, and at the forefront of these conversations are Super Bowl Champions Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp. What's the reality that one, or both of these players get moved prior to this season being over? OR, are the Rams going to hold onto both and hope their roster gets healthy enough to make a playoff run in a season where the NFC West continues to struggle?

The Rams handled business against the Raiders yesterday in somewhat of an ugly win, 20-15 to improve to 2-4. The offense has been struggling to consistently put points on the board, but it was the young defense in this game that really set the tone and capitalized on every opportunity that the Raiders presented to them. Next up, the Rams will prepare for a short week and the Minnesota Vikings (who are coming off of their first loss to the Lions) with Cooper Kupp and Jordan Whittington in the line-up.

The Rams are preparing to host the Las Vegas Raiders (who haven't beaten the Rams since 2010) this weekend with a goal to get back into the race for the NFC West, knowing the Rams are only 2 games back at this point with a 1-4 record. We have confidence that this team isn't just going to roll over and die, and now that they're in the process of being fully healthy, we expect things to take a turn for the better (one game at a time). This Raiders team has 2 players to be "scared" of: Maxx Crosby and Brock Bowers. That's about it. It's a matter of slowing those two down and sticking to their gameplan of starting fast and making the necessary adjustments on both sides of the ball, post-bye.

Something has to change after the bye. The Rams will be hosting back to back home games starting next weekend and there's an opportunity to get back into the race for the NFC West, knowing the Rams are only 2 games back at this point with a 1-4 record. We have confidence that this team isn't just going to roll over and die, and now that they're in the process of being fully healthy, we expect things to take a turn for the better.

There's no doubt that the Rams have been struggling in the redzone, as well as defensively on every level. What are some of the things the Rams need to do well in effort to make this game competitive against the Packers? Well, they're back at home and they're going to get progressively more healthy once they get through their bye week.

Rams lose to the Bears and fall to 1-3 on the 2024-2025 season. There may not be a ton of optimism left for this season, and we fully understand why with Green Bay traveling to SoFi Stadium next week.

The Rams have dealt with a handful of injuries thus far (specifically, to the offensive line and one of the faces of their franchise: Puka Nacua), but that doesn't mean they're not staying proactive in how they're addressing depth and how they're going to deploy specific personnel groups this upcoming season. They've signed Conor McDermott and a few UFL players as much-needed practice depth and Puka is going to be just fine for the start of the season. The offensive line, though, needs to stay healthy for Stafford to stay upright and for the run game to continue trending in the right direction. Expect 12 and 13 personnel early on in the season to assist a banged-up offensive line. AND, the DEFENSE looks healthy, fast, young and wants to prove themselves. Outside of Derion Kendrick, they're ready to get after the QB and lock top receivers down on the back-end. Brought to you by Autograph, our newest partner!

The Rams' defense is a pretty big question mark going into 2024. Aaron Donald is retired. Raheem Morris is the head coach of the Falcons. Eric Henderson is at USC and is no longer coaching the defensive line. Giff Smith is now coaching the defensive line after spending two seasons with the Chargers as their outside linebackers coach (similar to Brandon Staley when he was in Denver, under Fangio). He was also their interim coach for part of last season after Brandon Staley was hired, so he was highly regarded in the Chargers' building. Shula had previously coached inside linebackers, but that role will now be taken over by Greg Williams. How will Chris Shula implement everything he's learned since being in the building and apply it to the Rams' 2024-2025 defense? By combining methodologies and creating something that's consistently unpredictable.
The Rams are roughly 10 days into training camp and there have been a significant amount of injuries thus far - especially to the offensive line and secondary: two position groups they invested the most in this offseason. How concerning is it with the season about to begin in 6 weeks? How much of it can be attributed to a young, fast defense who's looking to prove themselves?

Rams Day 3 picks are in and the UDFA class is signed. The 2024 Draft is a wrap, and the Rams seemed to have carried over some of the same methodologies from 2022 that propelled them to a 10-win season in 2023. But now, with a 1st round pick in Jared Verse, pairing him with his brother in Braden Fiske and truly bolstering up the defense from top-to-bottom, there's plenty of reasons to believe this team is going to be really tough to beat again in 2024. They have exactly what they need to put another really successful product on the field for us Rams fans once again. Shoutout to Coach McVay, Les Snead and the whole organization for giving us constant hope and reasons to believe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Day 2 has come and gone, and the Rams added more talent to their front-7 in Braden Fiske (Mob Squad 2.0?), running back Blake Corum from Michigan (all he does is score touchdowns) and Kamren Kinchens from Miami, who we believe to be the steal of the entire draft. There's not much to be upset about if you're a Rams fan. Tons of logic behind each of their draft picks and they've addressed a ton of needs in just a few days. The young committee of pass rushers is going to be a TON of fun to watch, and how about how they bolstered up the secondary? Let's go win some football games.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
After 8 long years, the Rams sat comfortably and drafted a pass rusher from Florida State at #19 overall. Jared Verse is an incredible edge prospect who is going to start immediately for the Los Angeles Rams, opposite of Byron Young who will be entering his 2nd year. The Rams continue to build out their young core and made a ton of Rams fans happy by sitting at 19, not trading away assets and taking the pass rusher with the highest floor in the draft. Tune in for the deep dive!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
