We have already beat them once this season

I think there is a chance 

I'm going to choose to believe until the season is over!

When you make it, it's all a fresh start. We're all 0-0, and one thing I thought about today...it's not even about who the better team is. It's about who has a better day. I'm hoping we do both against them.

Bought my tickets about 30 minutes ago. I don’t care if we lose. It’s been 10 years for a home playoff game at BOA.

I'm in Phoenix but told my gf I've always wanted to go to a playoff game...who knows when we'll be back again

The key to the game is to put it on Bryce's (and the PASSING offense's) shoulders. Instead of the running game. That will keep the Rams defense guessing, open up run lanes for Rico/Chuba, and (assuming this gets the offense into a rhythm) keep the defense fresh through all 60 minutes. The defense needs to keep Stafford off balance all game long (so it’s important that the offense stays on the field and gives the defense enough time to rest and remain fresh). We keep talking about the run game needing to get better, but that will not happen by leaning more on running; it will happen more by passing. And stick with this strategy till the end. Stop treating Bryce with kid gloves. Stop playing it safe. Take chances. Give Bryce the reins. Open up the playbook for him. Even if we lose, we will at least have some answers to some of the muddled questions about the off-season and path forward. This was his 3rd year, for goodness' sake, how much longer are we going to experiment? And if we win and go to the next round, that just improves our chances, as the next team won't know what to expect from us either (right now, they know what to expect, which is why we lose). This makes it a win-win-win all around, not just for this season, but looking ahead to the next few years.

I agree with that. I just don't know if Canales will actually do this. He loves  running up the gut on predictable early downs and loves his cutesy screens and passes in the backfield. 

We only beat the Rams last time because of multiple turnovers from the defense and converting multiple 4th downs through the air.  

They'll have to be aggressive again if we want to win again. We simply do not have the talent to win against a Rams team that is vastly superior to us in talent and coaching. You also can't expect them to turn the ball over 3x again either .

Nice, I was contemplating but didn't feel like throwing down $250. I'm tempted to make a 4 hour drive to Charlotte and be with locals for the game though

Rams or 49ers both tough either way as teams, I think we'll get more home fans vs the Rams though so should be loud when they are on offense. LA people rarely give a poo about sports

This is very true, if it was the 49ers, it would be a heavy SF crowd, they travel well for playoff games.  But the Rams barely have home field advantage in LA usually, there shouldn't be a massive Rams contingent in town for the game.

They screwed around with the Raiders and Chargers so much in Cali that people in socal that actually like sports got all confused

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
