Does anyone here believe we can beat Denver on Sunday?

Yeah but–any given Sunday.

Rams have had surprise wins in losing seasons before.

So yeah they CAN win. Is it likely? Well, no…but they can win if it falls out right.

They’d probly have to knock Peyton out
to do it.

I’m lookin forward to seein how
the defense plays against the Denver O.
They might surprise us.

The Offense is hopeless, now.
Ah well.

With Hill as the starter?Maybe.Davis?Absolutely not.

I tend to agree with that.
Austin is a mess right now.
Dunno what Hill is.

Course these coaches arent idiots.
If they think Austin gives them
a better chance to win than Hill,
then…..sigh.

When the schedule came out, I pointed to this game this week as the surprise win in ’14. I’m sticking with it. Denver is on the third game of a 3 game road trip. The Rams’ defense is growing stronger each game. Rams coming off a three game road trip will play better at home, and defeat the Broncos Sunday. After, everyone will be questioning what happened to the Broncos, just like they did when the Rams beat Seattle and SF.

Good to see you on
the board I-man.

Denver’s not in the NFC West
so the rams cant beat them.
Its algebra.

Not sure how the Rams playing at home is necessarily a big advantage. They tend to drop some of their biggest turds at home. Those fans, God bless ‘em, they have witnessed some horrific football. Yeah, yeah, I know, Seattle. A blind squirrel is likely to stumble across an acorn eventually. Let’s hope they stumble across another one Sunday. I’m not holding my breath, though.

Switch Peyton to the Rams
and Hill to Denver — Think
the rams would win? Yes? No?

Is it all about the difference
in QB ?

When you are talking about those two quarterbacks, then, yes, I think it would make a world of difference. Those two QBs are on different planets. I think a huge part of the Rams’ struggles is the play of the quarterback. The offense is very limited by both the physical limitations of the QB as well as the understanding of the game of the quarterback. Bradford’s injury was huge for this team. I think they could’ve overcome some of the early shortcomings of the defense with an offense that had a chance to move the ball, but that hasn’t been the case. Swap out Manning for either of the QBs the Rams have to offer up and things could have been much different, and could be different on Sunday. Instead of worrying that Denver might hang 50 on the Rams, I’d be much more comfortable with the prospect of Rams’ win. If you could make that happen, you’d be my hero.

Payton Manning on the Rams is like the Nazis with the A-Bomb….

Well if the Rams are the Nazis
and Fisher is McClellan
then, I’d like to see
the cover of the Media Guide.

did you think the Rams would beat the 49ers in Santa Clara or the Seahawks in STL.

Any Given Sunday always applies.

I don’t think we have much chance of winning … for one reason.

Williams won’t be able to resist blitzing the hell out of Manning. And Manning will pick apart the depleted secondaries.

If Williams would trust his DL to get a rush, we’d have a decent chance. Especially with Hill playing.

But I don’t trust Williams.

from an article:

Fisher’s teams faced Manning twice a season beginning in 2002. Manning is 13-6 as a starter in those games.

My guess, that this being November, Manning will be psyched to win this game and all the rest as losing in November and December does not bode well for the playoffs. I think Peyton will be paranoid about it.

My guess is he will blow the Rams out. It may be over by half time.

I have no faith in Shaun Hill. He’s just another journeyman backup. Rams are screwed.

Grits

Remember, I don’t favor blitzing, but this is the game to blitz. Let’s see what happens. I am sure Fisher has a way he wants to play defense against Manning.

The Rams not only can….they WILL beat them.

(Note: this is based on lots of numbers that make not sense and is really all about pure emotion but I’m sticking with it anyway).:)

Its a regular season game, so the Rams have no chance.
If this were the playoffs they
would sink Peyton, of course.

Please, wv—I am trying to use hard numbers and cold calculating logic in my analysis of Sunday’s game. Football games are not decided on “feelings”. Peyton may indeed be the best REGULAR season QB of all time but remember one thing: He has to face Shaun Hill this week. That’s as close as it gets to playoff pressure. Don’t forget what happened in the Manning/Brady match-up

I am confident and cocky about it this week.

Manning can’t throw from his back.
