I think Rams are only team on our level. Then maybe Seattle and Chicago. But I like our chances against all of them.

Seattle is the worst team we can play. Wilson is going to give this team problems.

Rams. We won by 10 last time but that game could have gone either way. It was just our day and we were playing A LOT better then.

Most worrisome to least:

Chicago- shite offense but the best defense by far in the NFC. Turnovers would be a major factor in a game with them. Get on the wrong side and it could be trouble. We should win, but if they get two picks and we get none then the chances don't look good against that D.

Seattle- poor defense but they have played better as of late (except today). Wilson is the problem though, and if we lose contain like we have at times this season he could be real trouble for us. We should win even losing the turnover battle by 1-2, but that could make it close.

Dallas- shite offense but if that defense holds us down again they could bleed the game out. I don't see that happening even though that D is legit. It's not in Dallas and they aren't on the same level as Chicago's D. They aren't going to get beneficial refs this time around and they only won by 3 while we had a chance to win or tie at the end. We should win even losing the turnover battle by 2-3.

Los Angeles- the offense is legit, especially if Gurley gets his knee right. But it's not as good as it was when they had Kupp, and that defense has been exposed many times over. They couldn't keep up the first time and won't this time. They made their rep beating up shite teams and BARELY scrapping by or losing to the good ones. Like Dallas, we should win even with a 2-3 turnover deficit.

Eagles- that defense can't hold us, and despite how Foles has looked (even if he can play with the rib injury), they can't keep pace on offense. We could be down by 5 in turnover margin and still beat them. I pray we have a shot at them.

Aqib talib didn’t play against us either

Josh Reynolds is plug and play for kupp, May be even more of threat tbh

Exactly gyno. Our offense hasn't looked ready for another shootout in a while now.

I wouldn’t say that. They’ve clearly taken a step back offensively and Whitworth went down with an injury today. They’re banged up.

Their D has played better but them getting Talib will be neutralized by us getting Ginn. It will still be a battle regardless and be back and forth

Talib has been playing like shite. His replacement was better (and there was talk of "benching" him citing he isn't fully healthy).

And if you think Reynolds is anywhere close to Kupp you are out of your fricking mind.

And there is also Gurley's jacked knee, which is more serious than they are saying. You could see it when he tried to come back in that game.

They regressed just like us but seem to be finding their groove again.

Thomas was most of our offense last matchup, he’s the type of big bodied WR Talib shuts down. Big X factor

CJ Anderson has ran for 300 yards the last two games as well. Could loom as a clock guy if rams get a lead

It would be a fun game, I think we are worrying too much about opponents. We are the ones who knock.

We haven't played a shitty defense outside the Bucs in a while (though after canning the DC that defense was playing much better).

We put up 31 on a very tough Steelers team with a banged to hell Oline.

You guys are crazy if you think our offense doesn't roll over Sea, Philly, or LA's D. We easily put up 30+ on any of them.

I was worried about Talib coming back but he’s washed.

Just my opinion on rams if we're discussing teams to worry about most in playoffs but personally I think we win the whole f'ng thing. Brees is the GOAT and he's gonna be dialed in with a rowdy nola crowd behind him .

We won’t be the only team allowed to get healthy baw. Talib is a beast in the slot vs a guy like Thomas though

Speaking of health, if our OL isn’t intact we gotta worry about Donald wreaking havoc even more

agree Wilson is a legit concern.

he makes plays.

but that team doesn't scare nearly as much as say the Bears or the Rams.

We only put up 20 in the Dome last year against the Bears and that was before they added sack master Mack and Roquan Smith.

I'm most worried about the Rams and Chiefs

Our offense is basically gone. Those teams will score 40+ on us and there's no way we can keep up
