Can we beat the Rams? (2 Viewers)

[El Caliente]

Obviously we have a few weeks before the matchup that all of the NFL watching world is waiting for, but since the Pats vs Chiefs game last week, this is the game everyone is waiting for because you have a perfect team playing a near perfect team, and they are #1 and #2 in the NFC. This game will have home field implications, and it will show who has the inside track for the rest of the season.

The talking heads are really in the fence with this one. Since the Rams win yesterday everyone is wondering, “who will be the first team to beat the Rams this season, or will they go undefeated?” People are quick to point out the 11/4 matchup vs the Saints, but nobody can say for certain who will come out the victor.

Obviously as Saints fans we all are going to say the Rams die in the Superdome, but the Rams have more weapons than we have seen (the Falcons aren’t on the Rams level), and they mirror the Saints in strength for strength.

How do you see the Rams game going?

Can we beat the Rams?

We can. But not saying we will. I think if we played them 10 times, we'd win 4. I have to give them an edge on defensive talent but our coaching and QB experience pulls us close to even. But they are scary talented and you never know how the ball is going to bounce.

If I were placing a bet, I'd bet on the Rams. I think the Saints are capable of beating them, but that we'd need to play at our best to do so. I think they could afford more mistakes than we could at this point.

Have the Rams beaten any team on the Redskins or Ravens level?

There are 3 teams that for sure will be fighting for the #1 draft pick. The Rams have played all 3 in the first 7 weeks of the season. If not for those teams, their largest margin of victory is 12 points. Their signature victory is at home against the Vikings. A team going through lots of issues this year.

Imo the best team in the league is in either New Orleans or Kansas City. So, the answer to this question is obvious.

The question should be “Can the Rams beat us at home?” The answer is NO WAY.

NFL will not FLEX this game to SNF. Not because of Brady and Brees. They don't want to put their LA Golden Goose in a loosing situation in a road primetime game with one of their smaller market team with a notorious reputation for blow out wins on SNF. It's why NFL have been super stingy on giving us home prime time game and been putting us on the road more than home.

Another thing... Brady vs. Rdogers trade for Saints vs. Rams(If they don't lose a game next week) is a far trade,

Yes we can. The Rams are great, but so are we. It's about time you guys start believing what your eyes see and what our record says and stop sounding so intimidated by other teams. Every week there's a new "Our schedule is getting brutal" or "Can we beat the Rams" thread. Maybe, just maybe, these teams need to be worried about US!


And I am saying this will all the respect in the world to the Rams and the upcoming contenders we have to face. But, even with our weaknesses, I've adopted the mindset that our players have where we go out each week BELIEVING WE ARE THE BEST TEAM. As fans, it doesn't matter one way or another how we feel about the team but it would be nice for us on here to start feeling swag and confidence about our boys the way they feel about themselves.

, but they sure taste good swimming in garlic sauce.

Vikings?

If you think the Vikings are on the Redskins, or especially the Ravens level, you're stuck in 2017.

Si.

We just took down the no.1 defense.
