The Packers have been a major disappointment this season, but the Rams may have fallen even farther from grace. Quality roster, but every team seems to have figured them out.



Stafford fell off. Woods gone, Jefferson hurt and probably not fully 100% right now, no OBJ.

Even with Kupp, their passing game is as bad as ours.

It's obviously not possible to trash their all-all-all-in methodology of trading every asset they have for the current window because they won a ring, but they were probably the 5th best team in the NFL last year. That's entirely fine to shoot for and it paid off.

But it's frustrating as a Packer fan being a top 5-ish team in the NFL for like 8 of the last 10 years and not having another ring. I'm not one that does the "Aaron and Brett and we only got 2 rings" - but that's just how stupid luck of playoffs in sports can be. The Rams got one by going all-in. Good for them.

And by being the 5th-ish best team that happened to win the playoffs in 2021, they started to lose some of their big names and their offensive line was held together by scotch tape. The 7 total Rams fans in California would be pretty depressed if they hadn't snuck a Super Bowl from that all-in methodology and now were left holding the bag.

JFC.... They have a season and a half worth of NFL record on Amari, almost every second of it is negative. It's not just a bumpy start anymore. The guy is not an NFL player.

yes, there's a realistic shot. 1.5 games behind SF. 2.5 games behind Dallas. In two weeks there might not be a realistic shot.
4 of the last 7 games are against current playoff teams. So that doesn't help.


SF and Dallas are both better teams so I really don’t see that as being realistic

haha! we just beat Dallas. Things happen. "Any given Sunday" isn't just the name of a movie.

It's a pride thing for Gute at this point:
A) He doesn't want to admit he whiffed on Rodgers
B) He doesn't want to make the obvious roster move everyone is screaming for because he gets no adulation for doing it
C) A combo of both

I think Cobb was always the fallback plan on Amari this year. Probably hoping we could make do until he gets back but it’s too much of a problem now.

I’ve done some FA searches and not seeing the obvious upgrade sitting at home. I do wonder if they will try Alexander back there.

I find it weird he seems this attached to a 3rd round pick. Teams whiff on 3rd rounders all the time; it's really not that big of a deal.

I guess Amari must be a good dude who practices hard and better than he plays. Because litterally nothing he's done on the field would deserve the amount of rope they've given him.

Exactly, we just claimed waivers on a former 1st round pick in 2019.
