Random Ramsdom: Is Sunday’s game a must win for LA?

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 11/16/24

In the NFL every game is a “must win”, but as the season moves along games become much more important and so how much of a “must win” would you consider this Sunday’s Los Angeles Rams’ game? I am going to say it’s “must win” in terms of keeping hope alive among the fan base and maybe even within the team.

However, can the Rams lose on Sunday and then still go on the make the playoffs? I believe the math would say yes. So, in that sense this is not an “all or nothing” type of game, but can you imagine all the questions LA will be facing next week if they lose to the New England Patriots this week? Food for thought.

Thanks for checking out Turf Show Times, have a great Saturday. Did you watch the fight last night? Please comment on whatever you want and have a great day!

“Just when you thought the Rams were about get hot and go on a run, they lose to the Miami Dolphins in disappointing fashion on Monday Night Football.

Now, they’ll try to bounce back with a win to get back in the mix in the NFC West when they take on the New England Patriots in Week 11 action. The Patriots have little hope of going on a postseason run, but they’ve won two of their last three games and their rookie quarterback, Drake Maye, has exceeded expectations so far in 2024.”

Rams Look to Return Tyler Higbee for Tight End Reinforcements (bvmsports)

“The Los Angeles Rams are optimistic about the return of tight end Tyler Higbee, who is expected to be back in a couple of weeks following recovery from a torn ACL and MCL sustained last season. Currently, the Rams’ tight end situation is dire, with minimal contributions from Colby Parkinson, who has caught 23 passes for 214 yards this season without a touchdown. Both Davis Allen and Hunter Long have struggled to make an impact as well, with Allen catching six of 11 targets for just 39 yards. Higbee’s imminent return will bring much-needed depth and skill to the struggling unit.”

Rams’ O-Line Gets Even More Bad Injury News in Week 11 (lasportshub)

“Even though the Los Angeles Rams missed a huge opportunity on Monday after losing to the Miami Dolphins at home, they still have a good chance to win the NFC West. Sitting at 4-5 heading into the final stretch of the season, the Rams need to go on a winning streak to get back to the postseason for a second straight year.

Their Week 11 matchup against the New England Patriots is a great chance to build momentum. Unfortunately, however, the bad injury luck in one specific position complicates things for the Rams. The offensive line which has been a problem all season, will be missing several key starters once again, per head coach Sean McVay.”
