Based on comments and interactions I have had here at Turf Show Times, I am under the impression that many of us think the Los Angeles Rams have some of the best depth they have had in the Sean McVay era, but was that a mistake?

Ahkello Witherspoon has been out and the Rams haven’t been able to replace him. L.A. has been without Steve Avilla (I think he is expected back this week) and Kevin Dotson and the o-line has suffered. If this team loses Puka Nacua, then what? He’s been the passing game, really.

So, it’s early, and...

The Arizona Cardinals fell back down to earth following a 2-0 start after losing their second straight divisional game to the Seahawks Thursday night. Kyler Murray is seemingly holding back an Arizona team that was hyped as a potential challenger to the Los Angeles Rams this season. Has he officially reached bust status?

It’s fair to wonder, given Murray threw two crushing interceptions early, as his team dug a sizable hole for themselves that they nearly recovered from. Despite him rallying the Cards from a 13-point fourth quarter deficit, some analysts believe it’s time AZ cuts ties with him.

Even...

On paper, the Los Angeles Rams (2-1) are a more complete team than the Indianapolis Colts (3-0). But you are what your record says you are. The last time these two teams squared off was in 2023 Week 4 (ironically) at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Rams jumped out to a quick lead but allowed the Colts to get back in the game behind some special teams blunders (of course…). The Rams were able to grab the win in overtime thanks to the connection between Stafford and Nacua. 2023 was Puka’s first year in the league but a lot has changed...

The Rams cornerbacks have come into question this season and whether the quality of that position group is good enough for L.A. to make a playoff run, but at least they could a bit of a break against the Colts this week. Indianapolis has ruled out receiver Alec Pierce due to a concussion.

How much do you believe the absence of Pierce will increase the Rams’ odds of beating the Colts? Were the Rams going to beat the Colts either way or does this give L.A. the advantage needed to win? Let us know what you believe in the comments....

The Los Angeles Rams are coming off of a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. However, they will get a chance to rectify that loss against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 4 at SoFi Stadium. The Eagles and Colts are built very similarly and Colts head coach Shane Steichen came from the Eagles’ system. In a sense, the Colts are simply a lesser version of the Eagles. Daniel Jones may not have the athleticism of Jalen Hurts, but he can be dangerous as a runner. Both teams are strong along the offensive line and have high level running...

Sean McVay downplayed the absences of Davante Adams and Rob Havenstein from practice on Wednesday and expected them to be ready for Sunday’s game against the Colts, but is the Rams head coach still so sure after they missed another one on Thursday? Adams has not practiced this week due to a hamstring injury.

Adams has regularly been getting veteran rest days, but at age 32 and dealing with the notorious “hamstring” injury on the report, you can never be too certain.

Adams is second on the team with 29 targets, 13 catches, and 213 yards. He leads the Rams...

I can be wrong (if often am) because we are in Week 4 of the NFL season, plenty of games to go, but I think this game matters so much for Sean McVay and the Rams, is it a statement game? I don’t know, but I think for the Rams and McVay, it is so important to show the league they are over last Sunday’s loss.

Would this be a statement game for the Indianapolis Colts if they win? 100%.

If the Rams lose, blood in the water.

But hey, what do I know? I just write sometimes, I don’t...

The 2-1 Cardinals take on the 2-1 Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. As always, the game is on Amazon Prime. Talk about it with your fellow Rams fans here! Who would you rather see lose tonight: Seahawks or Cardinals?

My week 3 picks were a doozy; finishing 7-9 for the week. Notable losses came from the Rams, Ravens and Packers…three teams that very well could be in their conference’s championship game. I did not see the Falcons losing, not to mention getting skunked by…CAROLINA. I gambled a little bit on losses coming from Kansas City, Washington, and San Francisco because of sloppy offensive play thus far. But I will try to rebound for Week 4…

Week 3 picks: 7-9, Cumulative picks: 29-19

Week 4 Matchups & Predictions

(Thursday) Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals, 8:15 PM EST

The Cardinals...

The question of how Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay are excluding offensive players not named Puka Nacua has been one of the most talked about topics at the start of the Rams season. As noted in a post on our Feeds section on Thursday morning, Stafford’s determination to get the ball to Puka and Davante Adams is at a historically alarming rate.

With a very good Colts team on deck in Week 4, a team that has allowed the seventh-fewest points, eighth-fewest passing yards, and eighth-fewest rushing yards, how can Stafford and McVay surprise Indianapolis by getting others involved?

What...

The Los Angeles Rams offensive line has been one of the worst in the NFL to start the 2025 season, especially when it comes to pass-blocking. Every week, Ben Baldwin shares a pass protection ratings chart that ranks each offensive line in the NFL based on their composite scores from different analytics outlets. After Week 3, the Rams rank 31 out of 32 teams and are only ahead of the Cleveland Browns.

Throughout the Les Snead era, the Rams haven’t been afraid to make moves on the offensive line when it’s been needed. In 2023, they traded for Kevin Dotson...

The Los Angeles Rams (2-1) host the Indianapolis Colts (3-0) for a 4:05 (ET) kickoff in Week 4 of the NFL season and I am taking the Rams in this one by a final score of 24-21. Both teams have plenty to gain and plenty to lose in this matchup.

The Colts are looking to show they are not just a flash in the pan, not just a top team in the AFC South, not just a top team in the AFC as a whole, but to show they are one of the best teams in the NFL.

Daniel Jones...
