How do we feel about the Rams?

[Zcustom]

Are they the second worst team in the league just ahead of San Fran?

Or are they better than that?

Just trying to gauge opinion here so if we win sunday I'll know whether to be excited for winning or disappointed because "We ONLY beat the second worst team in the league"

They're a good team. Not gonna be a for sure W. If we have a repeat performance like last week, we'll be in good shape.

"We ONLY beat the second worst team in the league"

Yeah, the 49ers are now considered the second worse team because we beat them. I think the Rams game could go either way.

So, Panthers could win the Basement Bowl?

They are better than their record IMO. If their WR Corps wasn't decimated they would probably have 2 more wins.

That being said, if we play like we did against the Niners and eliminate the turnovers, we should win. We just need to show some carryover and consistency at QB and WR. Hopefully the run game can get going as well.

we struggled w/ Gore and Forte......Steven Jackson is better than them. Run D really needs to step up for us to win. That is the game imo...what happens there. I know he had surgery on his hand but he should play.

ya our run D is one of our biggest weaknesses and they will def be ramming it down our throats come sunday.

They run WCO. They don't need Randy Moss or TO for that. It's by far the easiest scheme for receivers to run.

Yeah, but having Donnie Avery in there would've been another threat that defense would have to account for. But, you're right about the system, they're making it work now, but they could've been a lot more potent.

Need to differentiate home and away. Away they are not a good team losing 13 out of their past 14 games. At home this year they are 3-1 and pretty darn good.

If we beat them in their house on Sunday, we will have beaten a good team. I did see Jackson had surgery on his left pinky finger on Monday. So he is listed day to day. If he plays we might be able to get a fumble or two since he can't switch hands easily to protect the ball. It is possible he doesn't play. Too early to tell.
