And may be for more than just this year. Gurley is the best back in the NFL now that he has a real NFL caliber offensive line. He looks like a young Lynch and the Rams may legit win the NFC West if the Seahawks don't get their offense going. Arizona won't go anywhere this year. Their defense left in FA and their offense is down to a 35 year old elite route runner without speed and practically nobody else. 49ers are still trash at least for another year or two.
Good move by Stan Kroenke to go to LA. They should win 9-10 games and contend to either win the bad division or contend for a wild card at worst.
I would say they're the slight favorites after today given how Seattle has been playing. Right now I think they are a one and done playoff team. Goff had a lot of captain checkdown plays today and the Dallas defense playing awful was half of it. I wasn't super impressed but they're still talented, have the best QB in the division now, and the rest of the NFC West is terrible.
One and done for sure. Goff is basically a rookie QB like Dak last year, because he only played part of the year last year and with no line.
Cowboys missed Sean Lee big time today, don't underestimate that, Jaylon Smith is extremely talented and good but he doesn't have Lee's experience and intangibles yet. Lee is the MVP of the defense.
The concern for the Rams going forward beyond this year is Whitworth's age. When Whitworth hangs it up, the Rams have to draft an elite LT to replace him or else they'll be back to square one.
They're ok--they played the cowgirls.
Might beat the Seahawks next week too
NEVER....get too wrapped up in Sept, ok?
They've won 3 in a row at home against Seattle, right? RW hasn't won there since his championship year in 2013.
Rams are one year away from dominating the NFC imo, but they're too green right now to be a serious threat. It doesn't hurt that SF is in full-rebuild mode while AZ is in rebuild denial. Seattle is still the big man on campus, but they're already dying a slow death that started with the SB interception. If Wilson is open to restructuring, maybe Seattle holds on a couple more years, but as it stands now this is Seattle's last year of skating by.
Very entertaining explanation, and accurate tbh. Rebuild denialbut so very true. AZ is totally bad.
It's crazy how this is pretty much exactly what happened with Carroll at USC. Build up a dominant team, win a le, 1 yard away from a repeat, then the slow death immediately afterward
Wade Phillips super legit DC.
they beat the mighty Cowboys, so they must be legit super bowl contenders
They look a lot better than last year, and Goff has been impressive. But let's tap the brakes on them being legit.
Gurley is the best in the league. Zeke can't run routes like that, neither can Bell (though Bell can make the shorter tough catches in traffic)

OT but I wonder if the Mob still has a vested interest in this franchise
Patriots are still the mob slot machine payout.
Don't know if the Rams are involved now too. Good question.
Let us know what you find out.
Yeah but I don't think we'll see Robert Kraft get drowned in the ocean like the old Rams owner was.
The Rams have had some RB's.
Paul "Tank" Younger....first Grambling NFLer
Deacon Dan Towler
Ollie Matson....traded 9 players to get this Olympic sprinter
Bass first 1000 yard rusher
"Jaguar" Jon Arnett
Lawrence McCutheon
Willie Ellison
Charles White
Eric erson
Jerome Bettis
Marshall Faulk
Steven Jackson
Todd Gurley
Four HOFers up there.
lol... don't jump the gun on Gurley, ~~ROOKIE~~... lol. He could suffer a career ending injury, say next year... = no HOF.
Anytime anyone has a 1000 yard NFL season they belong on any teams list of RB's.
Dude, YOU...talking ROOKIE, hahahaha~~~~~~~~
Todd Gurley was a hurdler in HS. Robert Woods was the nations number one 400m sprinter while in HS. Sammy Watkins a Florida State 200m champ while in HS. And Tavon Austin was a HS sprinter.
Lot of speedy Rams.
Story goes that Bob Hayes was the first really fast WR in pro football, he changed the defense. Actually.......in the early 50's the Rams had the NCAA 100 yard champ out of Loyola Bob Boyd, he had a 1000 yard season as a rookie. Keep in mind in the early 50's we had white cornerbacks. Boyd (black) far faster than any of them.
Robert Barrett Boyd (March 7, 1928 – May 14, 2009) was an American football end and wide receiver in the National Football League, playing for the Los Angeles Rams for eight seasons. His most spectacular season was in 1954, when he caught 53 passes for 1,212 yards and 6 touchdowns.
While at Loyola Marymount University, Boyd won the 100-yard dash at the 1950 NCAA Championships.
I own his rookie card.
And.....one of the great offenses in NFL history was the Norm Van Brocklin (HOF)/Bob Waterfield QB (yep, used both) Tank Younger/Deacon Dan Towler RB's, (two big black RB's)and HOF rreceivers Tom Fears, "Crazy Legs" Hirsh.
