The Rams are heading into Arizona as underdogs (as it stands right now), which is interesting considering the Rams have handled Arizona the last 8 times they’ve traveled there. But, this Arizona Cardinals team in Week 12 is completely different from the team we saw in Week 6, primarily due to players like Kyler Murray, James Conner, and Budda Baker. When we talked through the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6 and their inability to move the ball in the second half, we knew they’d give us a better effort when they were fully healthy later on in the season. But, in a “re-tooling year”, the Rams have a unique opportunity to sweep division rivals in back-to-back weeks. Can they pull it off?

The Rams haven't played good football over the last 5-6 weeks. There's no way around it. But for some reason, they always seem to do just enough against the Seattle Seahawks. Sure, a ton of their offense was aided by the 130 penalty yards Seattle committed. But, that doesn't mean the Rams stepped on the gas (offensively and defensively) in the 2nd half when they were down their Super Bowl MVP and Triple Crown winner. This win puts the Rams back "in the hunt" which may be controversial to the fans who are hopeful they're "tanking" in effort to get a top pick. 

The Rams are a pretty confusing team right now. Are we a solid football team if we string together a few wins over the next few weeks? Do we NOT want to win, in hopes our draft slot is better? There's a lot of controversy surrounding what the Rams will or won't do to end this season. All of that aside, it's not too much to ask if you want to watch them play competitive football against a team they've historically played well against (under Sean McVay). They're getting very important players back and should be able to stay competitive through the remainder of this season. But one thing is for sure: the next two games will set the tone for where this season will net out.

The Rams made a few roster moves ahead of their bye week, inclusive of: waiving Brett Rypien, Dresser Winn, Myles Gaskin and signing former 2nd overall pick Carson Wentz. Wentz has had some insane success and some major downfalls in just 7 short seasons — with plenty of controversy tied to him. But nothing that should stop McVay from getting the best out of him. And because it’s a bye week, we leaned in on Nick’s Picks in hopes to make the fans some money this weekend.

The Rams fell to the Green Bay Packers in dramatic fashion, which makes for embarrassing losses in back-to-back weeks. Fans are angry because they felt like they were originally sold optimism by the coaching staff on the 2023 season when in reality, they all somewhat knew that the Rams were lacking in the talent department (with the exception of their three “weight bearing walls”). But to struggle this badly after showing SOME promise in the first few weeks of the season is difficult to digest. We’ll talk through all of the important questions and look for solutions on how to get through this season -- and mentally prepare for next.

The Rams were silent at the trade deadline yesterday and signed Dresser Winn as insurance as they prepare to travel to Lambeau to take on the Green Bay Packers. If Matthew Stafford is healthy enough to play in this game (is currently dealing with a gnarly UCL sprain), then the Rams have a legitimate chance to go into their bye week with a 4-5 record, and a real opportunity to re-set themselves in preparation for a tricky back-half schedule and 2 divisional opponents right out the gate. Let's see what kind of team this is, and if they can rebound like they should. 

The Rams were flat out dominated by the Dallas Cowboys, 43-20 with the Cowboys fresh off their bye week, in their home stadium. Yes, the Rams have had some tough breaks when it comes to the schedule. But, when it comes to execution and situational play-calling, it feels like the Rams simply need to be better. And when it's so poor to the point it puts your starting quarterback (and 1 of 3 "weight bearing walls") in jeopardy of serious injury, it's time to start re-considering the game-plan. The defense, as a whole, needs to be better too but how much can you ask of a unit that is simply lacking talent

The Rams are in a difficult spot: getting ready for the 4-2 Dallas Cowboys, who are coming off of a bye: very similar to what we had to deal with against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Regardless, the Rams have a few mistakes they can correct in this game that we believe could very much propel them to victory. Simple offensive tweaks (stay with the quick game, stay balanced) and defensively finding ways to generate pressure on Dak Prescott, who has sat back comfortably in the pocket this season. A great match-up is very much ahead of us...

It felt like the Rams had a legitimate opportunity to come away with a win today at SoFi Stadium, where the Rams hosted the now 4-2 Pittsburgh Steelers. Due to a few mistakes down the stretch and very obvious deficiencies on Special Teams, the Rams weren't able to capitalize on as many opportunities as the Steelers did. Missed FG's put Pittsburgh in favorable field position. Penalties and question marks in our young secondary led to big (late) conversions. The officiating was questionable at best. The Rams have nothing to do but briefly reflect on this loss, then look ahead to Dallas.

The Rams are in unfamiliar territory: they're the favorite in back-to-back weeks with the Steelers headed to SoFi this weekend. It doesn't come without a price... the Rams lost Derion Kendrick to an arrest and Kyren Williams + Ronnie Rivers to injury. They turned that right around by signing Darrell Henderson and Myles Gaskin to fill the vacancy and stand by the comments of the offensive line (after Sunday's win). Aside of that, the Steelers are on a bit of a rollercoaster: winning 3 of 5 games but with a statistically "bad" defense, and an underwhelming offense (despite having plenty of skill players on paper). It's going to be an INTERESTING match-up: the first of McVay and Tomlin since 2019. Strap in!
