Rams Tank Job

[pemory09]

Hmmm…now NE is in the discussion? Awesome! Between us, the Rams, and the Pats 2023 is starting to show the potential of becoming an epic tankapalooza!

You know the Cardinals and the Texans are both going to win just enough games to allow the Rams to get the #1 pick and get Caleb Williams.

(And yes, they DO have their own #1 pick next year.)

Yes, but with the Rams' bad luck, Maye will turn out to be the better QB.

The Rams sold their soul to the devil to win a Super Bowl. Many think is was worth it. But the luster of the shiny trophy soon fades as losing years pile up.
It’s hard to believe it’s been 14 years since our brief moment in the sun. The years go by fast. We live in a “now” lifestyle.
There is a way to build a sustainable winning team but you can’t do it in 1 year. A team also has to look years ahead to do that. Fans can handle watching players leave a team. The smart teams get something in return.
Fans can handle not winning a championship every year if their team is consistently competitive like the Chiefs, Steelers and Patriots.
The Rams are going to be in trouble for a long time.

interesting to think that had Jimmy Ward (iirc) simply catches an interception Stafford threw to him late in the NFC Champ game, the Rams would have nothing to show for all this

but they do have something to show for it.

I would rather be tearing things down with a SB trophy in the case vs the Cards current situation of tearing things down with very little to show for it

Hypothetical. Would you sign up for the 2nd and 3rd picks if it means the Rams getting #1? I would.

Potentially giving the next Mahomes to our division rival (and missing out on him ourselves)? Hell no.

Look at this Patriots schedule. That is brutal. I see the Broncos, Raiders and Colts as games I'd favor the Pats. Some might try to include Giants, Commanders or Saints in that list but I think those teams have surpassed the Pats in talent.

Bill may be Bill, but he hasn't hit in the draft for a long time and its starting to show. Their defense looked good last year but they played an absurd number of backup QBs, I think it was at least 8. That's not happening again this year. They probably win 6 next year but I wouldn't be surprised to see them end the season with 3 wins.

Don't sleep on Tampa for the tank. That roster has some serious holes and pretty much no depth. Not to mention Baker at QB.

Bad roster, bad QB and bad coach! The on field trifecta.

 

[pemory09]

The ultimate tanker may well be the most intriguing aspect of the coming season. We now have us, Rams, Pats, and Bucs. And I would imagine there’ll be yet another 1-2 surprises as well. IMHO it’s going to be loads of fun to see who reveals themselves as the best of the worst.

their tanking problem is the division they are in -- it might be hard to lose 6 division games in the NFC South

If the Cards had just kept Blough they could lock up the loss.

Harry, sorry but I don't understand. Need help.

The Bucs schedule is too good for a full on tank. All of those teams in the NFC South are winning too many games for the #1 overall pick IMO. Maybe even 5 to 8 games. Pats fans seem to think they are going to be pretty good this year. 7 to 10 wins good.

Rams & Cards (To Me) are the only ones with a serious enough schedule (while also having the "stench of tankism") that 2 wins could be within the realm of possibilities.

Dr. Jones, I must disagree about NE:
1. They are in a tough Conference and Division.
2. Their fans know that the team has been good for a long time. And, it is very hard for them to accept reality.
3. Only the team name and their HC is keeping the National Media from recognizing how bad they'll be. IMO.

Yup... plus all that FA contract money they dished out a couple years ago will start rolling off the payroll next year.

BB is the one coach who can tank without it looking like he's tanking.

Both south divisions are putrid. I’d rank them:

Jags
Saints
Bucs
Titans
Falcons
Panthers
Colts
Texans

6 of them could easily be picking top-10….

Just an FYI, Kupp isn't expected to play anytime soon, now...and according to McVay, IR is a strong possibility.

 

[Dr. Jones]

They had the best QB on the field and he won the Rams the game. In a blowout no less!

And CJ Stroud looked like a jumpy mess in Baltimore today. More please!

Yeah, McVay clearly doesn't want Williams... haha

 

[ajcardfan]

I think the Seahawks are tanking.
