Rams' Super Bowl Odds Drop After Overtime Loss to Bills

Fantastic game last night. If you like zero defense and the two favorites to win the Super Bowl, looking like they're anything but Super Bowl contenders. But overtime win for the Buffalo Bills. But it's the reaction to that game now that has a lot of people scratching their head. First of all, the Rams still can't play special teams. They have no special teams. It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen, Craig. They had no special teams last year. They had no special teams a year prior to that. They had one job this year, which was to fix the defense. So they go out and make this splash, right? They go get Myles Garrett. They somehow talk Aaron Gordon, who looks like a guy that retired three years ago and probably should still be out on the couch, retired. And they spent all this money. They all think, guess what? They still can't play special teams. They fired their kicker today, Harrison Mevis, because he was the problem apparently uh and uh and here they are they let the only two people that could have beat them last night beat them in a revamped defense that was supposed to fix the problem they couldn't beat Seattle last year because the defense in the back end was terrible okay and guess what the only guy that could beat you you allowed him to beat you last night an overtime loss uh and your special team still isn't fixed two and three i asked you yesterday what does it mean you seem to think there's a lot of football left the warts are growing bigger on this Rams team every day yeah i still have no concerns i still think they're gonna make the playoffs i don't know if they'll get to the Super Bowl i like you was surprised that they were still favorites to win the Super Bowl that didn't make any sense to me still doesn't make any sense to me but as we talked about yesterday i thought Buffalo had a good shot to win they did i still think that the Rams are a great shot to win the Super are they still the favorites here i can't see that graphic I apologize, are they, are they still the current favorites there? I thought this morning it changed when I look, they moved them finally. Oh yeah, okay yeah so so I I I think that look, this even goes back to that game against Philadelphia, Joe, where they should have lost that game too, I mean that's the truth also, uh but look, teams have slow starts the Rams are uber talented, they're going to be there at the end of the season. Do they look like the best team in the NFL now? No, it's mid-October I would suspect that at the end of the season the Rams will be in the playoff picture. What does it mean? It's a lot of trouble to win a Super Bowl if you have to go on the road in the NFC Championship game, it doesn't matter who you play and that's going to be an issue for the Rams, there's no question about it because the Rams in all likelihood are not going to be the best team in the NFC and probably not the second best team in the NFC but as we talked about the other day and I'll say it again, uh you know both conferences have issues but the NFC in particular, the NFC East has no good teams whatsoever, the South the best team looks like Carolina and that's saying something, the best, the best teams in the conference are in the West, I I think so, I really do, I mean Green Bay, I'm not sure, and the Bears, I I still gonna stay, I I still believe the Bears at the end of the season are going to be one of the best teams in the NFC but they haven't shown that either it's an absolute mess now, if things were different if Green Bay got off to a uh four and one start uh because I don't trust Minnesota, maybe you do, I don't know but if Green Bay got off to a four and one start along with Chicago getting off to four one start and Dallas being four and one or the Giants having a start and being four and one like they have not played them their way out of anything, I know what the optics are, I'm watching the same game as you, if they had to play the Super Bowl tomorrow I wouldn't pick them, but but they don't and so when I look at that list there of of teams I mean I I think I may trust Carolina more than all those teams that are above them like the 49ers have been, have played like a team uh in a class by themselves, but beyond that Seattle, Minnesota, Detroit, the Bears but I mean Dallas is in there of course because the odds makers get scared, but everyone's gonna bet Dallas obviously, I don't trust Philly and um yeah that's that's that I I haven't changed my, I look, I I didn't, I don't know who I picked the beginning of the season but it wasn't the Rams to win the Super Bowl but I'm still gonna project them to make the playoffs and win a game in the playoffs and maybe win a couple games in the playoffs I uh I I see the same thing you do they don't look good I did Steelers you picked yeah apparently you picked the Steelers is what they're no I'm only kidding Thank you.
