I never underestimate Aaron Rodgers. He just makes his team better. I also don't think the Packers are in as bad of shape as some think. It is not pretty but it is not awful either.

Nobody doubts Rodgers, but the Saints, Eagles, Rams, Vikes, and even the Falcons are all capable of matching Rodgers offensively. 30+ points isn't a problem for these teams. So most likely the deciding factor when these teams play is going to be defense, and the Packers don't have one on the same level as the previously mentioned teams, besides maybe the Falcons, but the Falcons at least have some good D talent under the age of 30. The Pack also don't value RB like the other "likely" NFC playoff teams, and sometimes your RB group makes or breaks the game.

I think its moreso that the Rams are still unproven, and that we Eagles fans, more than almost anyone, know how being the talk of the offseason/the offseason kings goes mostly. 

Teams actually dont ever, if at all, make some big stride on defense just with one or two big name moves.

Im gonna go ahead and say this despite knowing Ill be attacked by Jrry or whoever else, but this Rams team is NOT deep at all. They are top heavy.The OL depth? How would it go for them if Whitworth, whos like 35 IIRC, goes down? Their starting 5 alone arent really some amazing unit. 

We have the NFL Draft. The Rams have made it clear that they plan to address the OL depth in the Draft. Right now, we have a great backup interior OL in Austin Blythe. Beyond him, we have a whole lot of nothing. Our starting 5 are pretty damn good unit. They were a top 10 OL last year (if not top 5).

What about Goffs backup? Who is ut even?? (Sorry had to say it because ya you know)

Sean Mannion. He sucks. If it were me, I'd offer the Browns a 6th for Cody Kessler. But the vast majority of teams are boned if their starting QB goes down. The Eagles are the exception, not the rule.

Quote

What receivers do they have besides Woods (a good #2) and Kupp (who has somehow became overrated, since last time I checked hes got terribly inconsistent hands and is just a slightly richer mans Cole Beasley)? Seriously? Who do they have that McVay can deploy and use to take attention away from their other guys? 

Josh Reynolds, Mike Thomas, Tavon Austin, and Pharoh Cooper. Your opinion on Kupp is also atrocious. Kupp was a rookie. Even Fitz dropped passes as a rookie. Anyone who watched Kupp in college knew that the guy had ridiculous hands. They didn't go away. He's a slightly richer man's Cole Beasley? Dude, remove your head from your arse. He put up 70 catches for 938 yards and 6 TDs in 16 games as a rookie. Kupp is a stud. In the three games that Woods missed with an injury, Kupp produced 18 catches for 302 yards and a TD with a 75% catch rate. Kupp getting more looks is bad for the rest of the NFL.

People said our WR corp sucked coming into last year. They ate a gigantic helping of crow. Please, convince yourselves that we lack weapons.

And on defense....that DL front of those three looks amazing. And there's a good chance they have a Sacksonville type season. But what ended up hurting Jax in the end? No depth. I honestly dont know who the Rams have outside of those three who can get pressure a lot up front. 

Ethan Westbrooks, Dominique Easley, and Morgan Fox are our top DL backups. All three have shown the ability to create pressure as rotational DLs. And the Jaguars lacked depth? The Jaguars had ridiculous depth on their DL. You don't know what you're talking about.

Quote

I mean i love that secondary and I love Donald and Brockers. Suh can be amazing. But outside of CB/S/DT the Rams defense is really in need of help. At least IMO.

Our DL and secondary are stacked. We need help at LB. Good thing we have the NFL Draft.

Quote

They have zero edge rush. You cant solely rely on your interior rush to do everything. My own team showed how prudent it is to have 5-7 talented pass rushers. And who will be their LBs? I dont know one off my head except Barron i guess.

We have a freak athlete in Samson Ebukam at one OLB spot who flashed as a rookie. Wade and co. are very excited about him. At the other spot, we currently have Matt Longacre, who is a very good rotational OLB. We've been talking to Junior Galette and Connor Barwin. Odds are that we'll sign an OLB. On top of that, I expect us to draft an OLB with one of our top picks. At ILB, we have Barron at one spot with Littleton and Wilson for depth. We'll likely be drafting for the other spot. Wade has always managed to make wine out of water with his ILBs.

Again im really trying not to come off like Im hating.

Suh is a fantastic signing on a one year deal. Snead has shown an excellent talent in watchinf what Howie has done and trying to go copy him ( ? ) . Joke joke. 

But I still see a team that is yet to be considered amongst the best in the league in terms of complete depth all over. 

 

Wait, you mean a team with 9 picks hasn't addressed all of its depth issues before the Draft? No way!

Quote

And I think that a locker room that has Suh, Peters, and Talib in it seriously is something that might end up becoming some sort of issue down the road. And dont just say "derp Wade Phillips doe durp". That team just doesnt look like a true SB contender. At least to me. Not yet. They are simply put going to be an awesome story to follow this season. And I could very well be wrong. They have the talent to make a leap. 

Wade Phillips is the correct answer. Throughout his career, he's always been known for dealing with big egos and getting the best out of those guys. If this team doesn't have the looks of a true Super Bowl contender, you're too blinded by your fandom to see it.

Quote

But seriously Rams fans. Can you give some insight on the rest of your front 7 outside of those 3 big fellas? And who will be the LB group? Is the OL going to be able to be successful even if they don't have another fluke season by Whitworth? Will the WR and TE group be better or worse?

I didn't realize that a 4x Pro Bowl and 3x All Pro LT playing well is a "fluke" season. Jeebus.

Of course they can but you just never know. I have just seen the pitiful Packers overcome and cruise into playoffs time and time again after being written off. The NFC is loaded. It won't be easy for any team no matter how stacked they look on paper.

I thought we were getting the Jeff Fisher Nick Foles. It was a pleasant surprise.

Suh is a great move, but they call them front 7's, not front 2's. I have no idea what your D will look like. Might take a few games for the new scheme gel. Might click instantly. It'll be interesting to watch. Plus who knows, maybe you guys trade for OBJ to make things even more interesting.

Our scheme isn't new.

What QB's was Rodgers outdueling on his way to NFCN championships in the past? That division is finally going to be difficult to win.

I still remember when everyone said we over Paid for Woods. Now it looks like a steal of a deal.. Great times.. We as Ram fans know this could blow up on our face like a bad porno. But gosh dayum! It

had been 14 years since we had made the playoffs.. The time to go all out is now with some cash in hand..

Yep. It's the same scheme. We're adding a lot of new faces to it, though.

Hell yeah. We'll see what happens in the Draft, but our FO is quite aware where we lack depth, and we have plenty of picks to solve that issue. The one thing I'm not even remotely worried about is the passing game. McVay is a wizard.

Ah. Then you guys need some LB's. Hopefully you don't find them 

Stay away from Willie Hernandez too. He'd look terrible in anything besides green.

Of course it will be which is why I don't get people declaring winners and losers already. I just said I don't underestimate Rodgers when healthy even with a shaky D. 

I think just about every NFC team has improved and has a shot at solid seasons except Seahwaks and Cardinals. I don't know what they doing.

Redskins will suck. Not every team improved.

The Guard? He's all yours. I just want Shaquem Griffin.

Oh right. I forgot about them. I don't think they will bomb though. Need to see what they do in the draft. But that QB switch was a mess.
