Bears now 1st in NFC (yes, the Bears)

[DelMar]

World has turned upside down.

Rams can’t lose another game like this. Can’t believe we didn’t show up today. Beat ourselves and just wanted 1st in NFC to the Bears.

Goodness Rams, bad loss today

[Cornell29]

They deserve it. They wanted it. The rams players didnt want it, they dont deserve it.

Congratulations Bears

We didn't beat ourselves. The panthers beat us. They gashed us on the ground constantly and made every crucial play when they needed. Including 2 4th down conversions for Td and that last laser by young to ice the game on that third down. Their offense completely outplayed our defense.

Which tiebreaker does CHI have on us?

Congratulations Bears

Exactly. They clearly wanted it more and played a much more physical game.

Bears have tie breaker

Means jackshit. Look at bears schedule. You think they’re running table? 5 games left. Rams can finish 1-7. Teams all pretty similar. Rams cal also finish 3rd in division (and make playoffs).

Seattle plays this same Carolina team, Colts, Rams and Niners. Not an easy schedule at all.

[RonMac]

Could not agree more - this was a HUGE no show by the Rams and this loss will have far reaching implications. Shula as a HC candidate? I don’t think so as his team was not ready to play AND he made no adjustments during the game including playing ZONE on 3rd and 5 @ game end ? Not a great job by McVay as he failed to sync up his team to perform on this day. We look like a wild card scrambler now like about 8 other teams.

[DelMar]

I’m more concerned w Seattle and San Fran. They keep winning.

Bottomline…We can’t lose again.

Bears schedule tells me they won’t last at the one spot…

[Truth]

I think the 49ers concern me the most in passing the Rams. I could see the Rams losing in Seattle which would bring them to 4 losses. 49ers only have 4 games left (3 at home) and thus could win out and they’d own the TBer. They’d need to win at Indy which is doable.

Bears/Packers/Seattle/Eagles given their schedules I see them ending up with more losses than the Rams

Which tiebreaker does CHI have on us?

Over half of our team's wins (five) came vs. AFC competition, so the Rams will almost certainly lose any conference-record tiebreaker...

RAM SEASON!!

Of course, over 55 previous seasons featuring NFL 'wild card' playoff berths, the Rams have never reached the Super Bowl as a 'wild card' team and have only once reached the NFC championship game as one...

RAM SEASON!!

I"m not concerned about the Bears - their remaining schedule is brutal. If they end up as the 1 seed, they deserve it.

[ocram23]

it's been a crazy year that's for sure

[Holding]

Kiss the #1 good bye...grrrr

Wake up call for Shula

This, at least three of next six games are against very good teams.
