NFC West Status: & Rams vs. 49ers Stat Comp

I posted this on TST, would love your take on how you project the game on Thursday. It looks pretty equal to me. Two teams who need a win very badly.

As we all know it’s a short week so not all the stats are available yet. At least not the ones I use for Team Efficiency have been updated. No problem we can still use the comparison stats to see where we stand for a match up with the 49ers.

First let’s see where we stand in the division:

As you can see it hasn’t changed since our loss, if we lose Thursday night it most certainly will drop us to third because we have the only division game this week.

Arizona @ Tampa Bay

Seattle @ Houston

I don’t see any problems for Arizona defeating Tampa, and I certainly hope that Houston puts a whipping on Seattle! That would bring us one game closer to them in the division.

As dismal as the 49ers have played the last two weeks, we have too. So the 49ers show much better statistics and that really shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

Again we are faced with a rushing team that boast good defense. We need to establish something...anything at all!

I mean how much worse could it get than last Sunday?

Let’s get the win this time, GO RAMS!

I would love to see the Rams come out from the start with the no-huddle and put some points on the board for a change instead of playing from behind. Also how about the defense actually defending something?
