The Los Angeles Rams have clawed their way back to .500 after winning their last two games, sitting at 4-4. But let’s be real here: does anyone actually feel good about where this franchise is headed? Because a quick look at their schedule paints a picture that’s anything but confident.
Where the Wins Fall Short
Sure, they’ve got four wins under their belt: the Giants, Eagles, Raiders, and Chargers. That sounds decent until you dive into the numbers. The combined record of those four teams they beat? A truly grim 10-19-1. And yeah, that includes a completely winless Chargers squad. Even the Giants, who somehow lead their division, have feasted on one of the NFL’s easiest schedules and worst divisions. So, is beating the Giants by 22 points really a badge of honor here? The source doesn’t think so, and frankly, neither should any serious fan.
Missing the Mark, Waiting on Reinforcements
It’s football, right? A game where your reputation lives and dies by inches. The Rams almost pulled off wins against *actually* good teams twice, but they couldn’t seal the deal. Their losses? To the 49ers 27-7, Broncos 30-26, Bills 37-34, and Cardinals 18-16. The combined record of those teams is a solid 21-9, with three of them rocking six wins each and sitting in first place. Honestly, their narrow loss to the Broncos might be more impressive than any of their actual wins against the Raiders or Giants. Though, you know, that loss to the Cardinals probably cancels out any “impressive loss” credit.
Here’s the kicker, though: we haven’t even seen L.A. at full strength yet this season. Imagine Myles Garrett returning. That’s like adding a huge name at the trade deadline. And Davante Adams is due back on the field at some point. The big question is, can the rest of the roster stay healthy when those guys finally suit up?
Look, it’s impressive they aren’t even worse with this many injuries. But for fans to truly buy into a rebound, the Rams need a game where they show up early, play a complete game, and actually *finish off* a good team. They won’t even get that chance against a truly good team until they face the Packers on November 25. Until then, that 4-4 record feels a whole lot flimsier than it looks.
