I don;t know, the Falcons are such an offense-oriented team.

That’s just this strange thing.

Why would they do that? Have a high-powered offense I mean.

Seems…odd.

Sincerely, lifelong Rams fan.

We can win, if we score 24 points. That probably means we need to be +2 in turnovers.

Falcons are no.1 in the NFL in points scored. 32.2 a game.

Matt Ryan has a 112 passer rating.

End of story.

Rams will make a better showing than the last two games,
and make it close, but they wont win.

Jeff Fisher has had a tough week, with the contract extension news, the lingering ED controversy, not being able to find the challenge flag. This would seem to be the kind of game where the Rams come out with an “us against the world” mentality and absolutely smash the Falcons to the shock of everyone.

I’m just not sure if they’re capable of that.

Especially on offense.

This seems so much like the Saints game.

I’ll split the difference.

Falcons: 27 Rams: 16

The Rams seem to be planning on putting Tru on JJ as his shadow for the day. I found an interesting trend that I think applies to this thread and my prediction.

ATL has 5 losses this year….in 4 of the 5 L’s JJ has topped the 100 yard threshold.

Conversely….JJ has been held to under 100 yds in 5 games this year…in 4 of the 5 ATL won the game.

JJ was shut down against NO, GB, AZ, and Denver with a high yardage output of 35 against AZ. The guy can be shut down and more importantly ATL can and usually do find a way win without him.

So…My prediction is Tru shadows him all game with help over the top on the deep stuff to keep JJ short. He gets 7 receptions for 66 yds and 0 TD’s…that’s the good news.

The bad news is ATL throws short all game, remain patient and Freeman rushes for 150 and ATL get’s the W.

ATL – 31
LAR – 17

The only way the Rams win this game is by their defense suddenly remembering how to get turnovers and sacks, and I don’t know why they would start doing that in game 13.

i just want to see goff play well. if he can lead the rams to at least three offensive touchdowns, i’ll be happy.

Yeah, I think that’s what everyone is watching for the rest of the way.

And if he does, all the pessimists will be right back at the start of next season regardless of who the coach is. zn is right about the future of the Rams being determined more by Jared Goff than by whoever is Head Coach.

It’s odd.

I’ll try, my turn.
