the rams will not make the superbowl this year beause the are now 0-2 and since it's no wild cards this year-it will be hard to comeback from that-The rams will also lose to tampa bay next mondy night-

I am not a fan of the rams, but you never know...I mean the patriots were 0-2....haha sorry

oh well.... too bad. Maybe next year

Yes the patriots were 0-2 last year but remember last season-there was wildcards-this season there are no wildcards-which means that the rams will have to win their division to make the playoffs-the patriots got in the playoffs last year as a wildcard team

That's not right. There are 4 division winners and 2 wildcards this year.

THERE ARE NO WILDCARDS AT ALL THIS YEAR-it's 4 Division winners-that's why they went to the new format to eliminate the wildcards-

WRONG! Read the below page, I will cut and paste the relevant part:

A very important thing to remember with in the post-realignment NFL is how the playoff teams are determined. Each division winner makes the playoffs, leaving just 2 Wild Card teams, as opposed to the current 3. The odds of winning a team winning their division is greater, as they now have to beat just 3 other teams instead of 4 (or 5). But they are in competition with 11 other teams for just 2 Wild Card spots. Having an easier schedule can give a team a head start in the race to the post-season. It shouldn't be a surprise when a team finishes 9-7 and doesn't make the playoffs while an 8-8 team wins their weak division and makes it into January.

All this time-and i thought the wildcards were eliminated-Wait a minute-so why did the NFL change the way the division were?

ohhhh so thats why the divisions are changed and the colts are not in the pats division

It really has been weird seeing the Rams lose. But you never know. Again the pats were 0-2...

I'm still not convince that the pats are a good team

I don't think you ever will.

I think you are jumping the gun a little bit. There are 14 more games to go. I've seen teams go 5-0 and not even make the playoffs. The Rams still have a very good team. It's still waaaay too early.

If they don't win next Monday night-0-3 will be a very tough climb-and that may just kill their playoffs chances-especially when the oakland raiders coming up not too far after that.

SOLOMON- I am reallyyyyyyy curious as to why you dont believe the patriots are a good team!!!

Okay let me answer that-the patriots are not a good team because they were not supposed to beat the raiders in the AFC Divisional PLayoff round. That was clearly a fumble and Tom Brady knew it-They only beat the Rams because the rams turned the ball over a lot-and the rams still made a comeback-so the patriots did not beat the rams, the rams beat theirselves. Plus a not a big fan of Tom Brady since the patriots did Drew Bledsoe so wrong-But you better believe that Bledsoe has the game between new england circled on his calender
