The Rams can't stop the run, but the Saints can and DO. It's not only the defensive line of the Rams not staying home because they want to rush the passer all the time... but their LBs are not as good as the Saints' LBs. Did I really just type that? YES BECAUSE IT'S TRUE!

Their home field advantage sucks too.
I think there is something off in the structure of the standings when we both have one loss, theirs to us, yet they are ahead of us.
Goes to show you how much a division loss hurts.
They are not ahead of us. We hold the number one seed at the moment.

I'm pretty confident that the Bears are going to beat the Rams. If the Rams get stuck in snow, they are screwed.

Also with Rueben Foster, via not drafting the guy. Some here wanted him.

Rams can't play in a real outdoor stadium... that's the narrative, right?
