St. Louis Rams Are Road Dogs
Well it probably comes as no surprise that the St. Louis Rams are 10 point underdogs this week to the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks will be without their top FIVE receivers Nate Burleson, Bobby Engram, Deion Branch, Ben Obomanu and Logan Payne and they just lost 33-30 to the San Francisco 49ers! The Rams are currently the laughing stock of the NFL.
Scott from Raising Zona says:
St. Louis @ Seattle: Will the Rams score this week? Will they finally run an offensive play inside the red zone? Will Rams coach Scott Linehan still have a job come Monday morning? Too many questions to answer. Seattle is hurting big time, but their third string can beat the Rams first string any day. Plus it is in Seattle and no way Seattle starts 0-3. Seattle 45 St. Louis 7
Is this what it has come to? Arizona Cardinals fans are talking smack and have us losing by 38 to a team without any receivers from their opening day roster!
Below you will find major sports sites all ranking the Rams at or near the bottom of the league in their Power Rankings, and with some disparaging words as well!

The offense has scored one touchdown in two games. The defense has given up nearly 1,000 yards. Not good. (MS)CBS Sports
This is a team that looks headed for a coaching change. They just don’t look very good. The two lines are getting whupped. Scott Linehan’s postgame news conference shows he’s feeling the heat.Fox Sports
One could make an extremely good case that the Rams are by far the most terrible team in football, judging from losses by a combined score of 79-16. The only silver lining: They faced the Eagles and Giants, two of the NFC’s top-tier teams, both seemingly Super Bowl contenders.CNN SI

That’s it? Only 10 point underdogs? Well, Seattle is a mess of sorts as well, so I guess I get that. It is kind of funny I can find myself being able to talk smack to another team. I will have to enjoy it for now though. Cards could be 2-1 in about 4.5 hours and on their way to .500 land next week, so I have to temper my words a little, however it sure is fun while it lasts. Honestly, it would be nice to see the Rams score some points today. I have Holt on my fantasy team.

The Rams are currently the old Cardinals with a dysfunctional front office, and horrid drafting. Don’t give up on beating Washington, keep Warner upright and you will be right there.
