This whole season hinges on three things. Number one is universal to all teams: Injuries... If the Rams (or any team) get injuries to key players the chances go down exponentially. Number two is the receivers. If one or two of them can step up and become an impact player, this offense will have a chance. If not, teams will just load up the box, stuff the run and put any warm body on our mediocre receivers. Number three is the D-backs. Your post above reminded me how abysmal they were in the secondary. Hopefully Jenkins has matured enough to be an impact corner. It's the safety's that have me worried.

Let's not forget we have 6 games against our Division foes. One won the SB. One could have won the SB at 12-4. And one missed the playoffs with a 10-6 record. In short, a 3-3 record in our Division would be respectable, 4-2 would be good and 5-1 would be a miracle.

If they are going to make the playoffs, they better have it wrapped up before the last week. If they go into Seattle, needing a win to get it, the odds are not good...
