Do you think the Rams will repeat?

The Rams got Aaron Donald and now Cooper Kupp both extended, do you think they can repeat, maybe become a dynasty?

    Tough to repeat but I don’t see why not.

    KC and Green Bay will not be as good as last year, TOMPA has to slow down at some point.

    The Bills and Chargers could be in the mix for the title this year but who knows

    It's crazy if you think about it, Jared Goff was the Rams future quarterback just a few years ago, living it up in sunny California with a huge contract, now he's stuck out in cold Detroit with the Lions, and he's bitter about it, he's become Eminem.

    I keep thinking Buffalo will break through one of these years. they are so good on paper.

    My SB prediction is Buffalo VS Tompa

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    But they always find excuses to lose, that’s the problem

    Look
    If you had
    One shot
    Or one opportunity
    To seize everything you ever wanted
    In one moment
    Would you capture it
    Or just let it slip?

    Yes, things aren't going too well for Eminem and the Lions, I'm afraid there just isn't much to celebrate these days.

    For our sake I hope not. @hydrant will be insufferable. 😉

    me and millions and millions of other people hope and pray they do not

    I agree with you about Buffalo. But it's not just that they look good on paper....they are good. The Bills were robbed last season on a coin toss. It was a bad joke. I look for the Bills to be dominant in the AFC this season.......Breakout year for Allen. I disagree about Tampa Bay. The Rams own Brady. The SB loss was also A joke.....coordinated NFL/referee payback for a bad call in the NFC championship game Saints/Rams. The league wanted a Brees/Brady matchup in the SB. It didn't happen. The Rams paid the price. The outcome of that SB was preordained. The NFC road to the SB leads through L.A. at some point. I can see Green Bay beating the Rams, if fact I think they would, but Tampa Bay would lose to the Rams......But, all this speculation is based on today.......nobody knows the future.....anything can happen.... and will!

    My Prediction?........ Bills over Chiefs in AFC Championship game and Rams/Packers NFC Championship game a tossup.

    Super Bowl.....Bills vs. Rams or Packers.

    Duh?......Tell me something I don't know!...... Every SoCal sports fan KNOWS that the rest of the country roots against our teams. It's A given!.....The thing all you people don't understand is that your strange dislike of EVERYTHING Los Angeles and California gives our teams more incentive to WIN! WIN! WIN!.........AND THEY DO!......and......when they don't win?.......nobody cares!.......Always something else to do! This is LA LA LAND baby.......Bottom line?.......If you and those other millions and millions prayers are answered?........ Good for you and them........Nobody here cares!......Come visit anytime!

    It’s hard for any team to repeat in the NFL. You not only have to have a great team, you also have to get the right breaks during the regular season and especially the play-offs. A few injuries to key players, a ball bouncing the wrong way, a missed assignment on pass coverage, a bad call from the officials, all of these factors can ruin you repeat prospects.

    Unlike basketball, football is a complicated game with many factors in play. It only takes one bad break to knock you out of contention.

    If the Rams repeat, Hydrant will go crazy and buy us all gift certificates for Wal-Mart. Meanwhile in Detroit, this is how bad things have gotten, just look at the banner the Lions hung up in their stadium.

    The way the Lions are going, that’s as close as they will ever get to the promised land. Maybe there is a great Lions team in an alternate universe, or the 1950s which was the last time they won the NFL championship.

    Showboat.....I figured that I already was insufferable. You and I and everyone else around here would agree on that.... I just like to jerk people's chains.... Just the way I am....

    Too many variables to repeat. Schedule, motivation, and of course health. Big Rams fan here. I could see them go to the Super Bowl again in the next few years.

  • HydrantHydrant Posts: 7,773 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Like GoDodgersFan said. My opinion?.... Probably not.

  • Certainly possible, but I’m not seeing it. So many things have to go your way for it to happen. I think a better thought would be are the Lightning going to 3peat? Let’s go bolts.

    Poor Goff, stuck out in Detroit, still looking for Dre.

    Rams are too top heavy talent-wise to repeat. There will be an injury or two that derails them this year. Additionally, the schedule will not favor them as they have to play a division winner schedule. Scheduling is the great equalizer in the NFL.
