Anyone pick Buffalo?

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Gee whiz the Rams are fun to watch.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Gorg you should be a proud Ram. They were absolutely superb. Goff has come of age. Gurley is a star again. And your D was good when it needed to be.

[Gorgoroth 12,319]

Just got to watch the end of the Rams game! Heart is pumping!!! Hell yes!!! I'm looking forward to seeing the other games when I get home from work.

Just glad to see us win in Dallas. Second half D was huge. And Goff moved the ball well with no turnovers as well. Man I'm pumped!

He looked even better than he did in weeks 1-3... Didn't panic, made every decision a winner. He'll probably be the biggest story this week.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Oh man. I'm gonna miss my 3 successful picks with a FG to end the game here.

I had this feeling they'd beat us... We were sorta due.We were lucky to get over Chicago & Detroit, and McDermott has the Bills defense playing well.. Our offense still put up 400 total yards but the turnover battle was lost 3-0 the Bills way, which was the difference.. My day was ruined heard the winners announced on Triple M this morning!!!!

Oh for gods sake... You shouldn't be listening to MMM or SEN at the moment. Just Tigers nonsense.

And yeah. Beating Falcons that way, keeping Ryan ineffective... that has to jump you into a position of respect. I still thought Falcons had them at the end too. NFC just got nice and messy. No more undefeated teams. KC the only one left league wide.

[Macca 16,173]

New England,  Dallas & Atlanta all lose at home after going in as hot favourites. 

A week is definitely a long time in this sport. 

Not sure who the biggest winners are this week but the Bills,  Rams,  Lions,  Eagles,  Broncos,  Steelers & Panthers are all now sitting at 3 & 1 (along with the Falcons,  Packers & KC [3-0] )  If I had to pick a team to watch it might be the Panthers ... but the Rams,  Eagles,  Bills & Lions are all looking good.

As for the standout players ... Winston,  Watson,  Goff,  Gurley,  Bell & Newton all had big days.  Watson is the big story for mine - big numbers and he looks the goods.

Hunt will add his name right at the top of that list tomorrow.

Yeah, terrific player.  At both RB & WR too.  Amazing talent. 

You'd be thinking KC at home but Washington have been decent so far.  The Redskins passing yards are up there whilst KC passing defence is allowing 257 yards per game.

KC to win but it might be a close one.

All depends on who turns up. Bad Skins, they lose. Skins from last weekend, they'll edge them. What a weird and wonderful NFC East this year. Skins and Eagles supposed to be afterthoughts, third and fourth... They're now 3-1 and 2-1 (could be 3-1)... with Dallas and Gianst 2-6 combined. Crazy.

Actually, if the news isn't how good the Rams were, it's how bad the Giants are. Has anyone ever made playoffs from 0-4?

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Wow. One team ever. Chargers in '92 went 0-4 then went 11-1 to make it.

Arnie must have got them going ...

 

[Gorgoroth 12,319]

Bloody jags stunk it up for me.

Pretty chuffed with the Rams still. I was hoping for a colts win and niners to beat the cards for more breathing space, not to be.

[Macca 16,173]

Quite a good game today ... if Josh Doctson hangs on to that catch with 50 seconds left Washington would have probably won the game. 

KC's 461 yards of total offense was impressive though.  Both QB's were good.  Hunt is a real mover - he's got a terrific step that beats defenders.

From NFL.com:

"Sean McVay is a stud. And he has the Rams (3-1) playing brilliant, winning football. At the quarter mark of the season, the Rams are clearly the team to beat in the NFC West. Yes, over the Seahawks. Forget preseason picks. I truly think the Rams can win the West this year. And this is what happens when you replace a bad coach (Jeff Fisher) with a good one."

They make a lot of stuff up, and get behind any team who has a good win like they're a superbowl team. This time though, that's just the tip of the iceberg. The Rams are the real deal. And their defense still hasn't gotten going.

Settle in Gorg. For this season and probably a few more to come. You're going to be having a lot of fun.

Agree, was a good game to watch. I like watching both teams. A lot of injuries have occurred this week. Especially to Atlanta losing Jones and Sanu. Massive loss.

Yeah all media love to jump on. We have Seattle at home this week. Win that and I'll start to believe a little bit., ?

[JV7 2,339]

I think all of us here have reason to be optimistic about our teams chances in the NFC, looks like an even season.. I know sides get hot towards playoffs and go on a run is usually how it goes but reckon we'll all be there abouts come the last few weeks

You said the same thing about Dallas. lol

Fast forward to the superbowl, Rams vs KC, and you'll say "Gee I dunno, KC are good... win that and I'll start to believe a little bit."

Yeah that's true, we're all a bit spoilt right now. Although, it is early days. Last year Eagles were 3-0, then lost to Dallas badly and went 2-9... So early days.

Do you blame me... ha ha

Nah, tbh I think we are playing well, we have beaten one good team (cowboys), and two average teams and lost to a good team but did pretty well against them. 

We have started well a few times before so I’ll keep my powder dry for a little bit longer ?

Heh. Yeah. I get that totally, I'm doing the same with my boys.

It is worth saying every year the Rams do a little something, like Gurley's first year, or when Donald started producing... I took one look and would yawn and say "next." Not this year though. You literally couldn't ask for one more thing from the offense. The OC, QB, RB, wideouts, slots... OK maybe you could use a bit more from TEs... But tbh, how are you supposed to give them the ball with Gurley getting 90+ receiving yards... in a game where he topped 100 rushing... AND you have Kupp, Watkins and Woods who need to feed? And not only all that... but they were clutch too. Against last year's NFC East champs.

Looking at the power rankings... Eagles at 3, I laughed. Rams at 10, I stopped reading.

The good thing I’m seeing is Watkins copping th3 better coverage, then that shifts to Kupp and free Watkins up who then had his best game with the Rams, then this week they went back to Watkins.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul. Feels a lot like the demons midfield. Send someone to Tracca, Jones, Oliver... then Viney gets loose.
