5-1

Pretty tough schedule, the weakest team on the schedule is the Rams, twice, and they just beat Seattle and should have beaten SF.

I disagree.

I think the Rams are better than the Eagles, the Cowboys, and I think the Falcons are one of the worst teams in the league right now.

Just my opinion.

I meant by record, you may be right about actual strength. ON paper the Rams are worse than Atlanta, one more loss, worse point differential(far worse) but I tend to agree the Rams are probably the better team.

We were 3-3 after six games last year...highest point total scored up to that point was 25. Then the offense took off and we scored 27 or more points in 6 of the last 10.

Is it possible to see a similar climb in production? I think so. Palmer is just rounding back in to form and the OL is starting to gel a little more.

These next 4 games will define the rest of our season. If we really want to be considered a top tier team we can't lose to the Eagles, Cowboys, Detroit and be considered in that tier. They have a combined record of 16 wins 3 losses.

We already lost to Denver and if we lose to those 3 teams we have failed just about every big test this season. Huge huge test for this team.

We could conceivably lose all 3 of these games and run the board finishing 12-4 and make the playoffs. However, IMO it would be an incredibly soft 12-4. None of the other teams left on the schedule have a winning record but some of those teams always play the Cards tough. So that isn't likely IMO that we will run the board after these next 4 weeks but still plausible I guess.

We have to win 2 out of 3 of those games between the Eagles, Dallas and Detroit (3 of 4 overall during the next 4 weeks) IMO to prove something and to keep momentum. If not, say the team splits with say Seattle and San Fran (after losing the 3 above) now we are at 10-6 assuming we don't lay an egg somewhere along the way. The team doesn't feel like it's peaked yet which is probably a good sign for us. However, these next 4 weeks are the biggest weeks of the season IMO. You are going to find out who this team really is.

Just about every big test failed??? Dafuq??

Chargers, 49ers, giants on the road and early start?

San Fran is not as good as everyone thought and is one game above .500. The Giants are are 3-4 but San Diego is a good point. I didn't say these games were not tests at some level.....this is the NFL.

I just think the Denver game and 3 of those next 4 weeks are huge tests on another level that will define who this team really is.

The Rams are going to be tough for us due to Aaron Donald. If you watch any of the game vs Seattle, Donald ate up James Carpenter (slow, unathletic) inside. He is going to feast vs Fanaika and Larsen.

7-1 is going to happen. I'm going to Arizona for the Philly game and they don't lose when I'm there. Then Wisconsin is going to Dallas the following week. He was at the Cards/Pats game and got a win. 7-1, here we come.

Bump .
