The Los Angeles Rams are still in a fine spot despite losing to the Carolina Panthers this past Sunday. L.A. still has nine wins with the remainder of the season ahead of them, and the chance to win the NFC West if not more.
Matthew Stafford had three turnovers his past game, but he’s been playing great most of the year, so if he cuts down on the turnovers going forward (as he has for most of the season), then the team’s best days should still be ahead of them. Does that expectation seem unfair?
Losing is unfortunate, but it happens and it’s better to happen now while the Rams can still bounce back from it.
Of course, if the Rams lose again on Sunday the situation could look very different, but for right now, the Rams have a chance to maintain what’s been a strong season.
We’ll see what happens. No easy wins the NFL, and this past Sunday was another reminder of that.
The Rams were considered by most the top team in the NFC and NFL, and now that may not be the case. How will they respond?
Thank you for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great day!

“Humility, as Sean McVay likes to say, is only a day away. And the Rams lived it Sunday.
McVay, quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams defense all were humbled in a 31-28 defeat by the Carolina Panthers before 71,292 at Bank of America Stadium.“
Byron Young calls Panthers loss a ‘wake-up call’ (theramswire)
“The offense scored 28 points, but the defense couldn’t stop the Panthers’ offense and quarterback Matthew Stafford had an uncharacteristically poor game with three turnovers. Additionally, the loss dropped the Rams out of the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs and their 9-3 record is tied with the Seattle Seahawks for the top of the NFC West.
Despite the loss, Rams edge rusher Byron Young thinks the team should take some positives from the shocking upset. He called the game a “wake-up call” and said he was “glad that it happened” so the team can learn from their mistakes.“

“Players recognized they made a huge statement for a young team trying to end seven straight years of losing.
“That we can play with the best of them,” running back Rico Dowdle said of what the win over the now 9-3 Rams meant. “We came in facing what they say is the top NFC team. When we went into Green Bay [and won 16-13], it was the same thing.
“We’ve got everything we need in this locker room to do what we need to do and make that push coming up in these next couple of weeks.”
