I think the rams will go 14/3

[@markvasquez5134]

Fiske and Verse are going to open up our defense and Young and Turner are going to be unstoppable. ❤ Just watch. Do not blink, that's how fast we will get to the QB

[@Paul11B2P]

The Rams will win 🏆 the Super Bowl 🎉🎉

[@Crunch_Buttsteak]

What about the horns on the helmet Paul???

[@JR-gb6iq]

Naw, all these changes with offense and defense cost us the SB .

[@djdmac2417]

My prediction has and will continue to be that the Rams MAKE the Super Bowl this year, but I don't think they'll win it.

[@markvasquez5134]

Stafford for MVP ❤

[@redboylegend1262]

The Rams are going to wake a lot of folks up after week 1…..

[@florida1289]

Not if Stafford settles for FG again. Detroit is going to score vs Rams D, Rams need to outscore which is definitely possible.

[@NoName-em8jo]

Detroit is going to lay the smackdown.

[@simonseo8558]

Way to represent d mac!

[@andrerodriguez966]

He’s better than Travis.. Travis would have sided w all of the other locked on Opps

[@JayNichols-h7i]

The 49ers are starting to get old. The elite guys that were once 23-27 are now 28+ & are starting & starting to get banged up more. Even though they made the super bowl last year I didn't think they were as dominant.

[@_meangreenjersey973]

And they just signed Ayuk to a stupid contract

[@travesotom6890]

Exactly, players regress as they get older 😆

[@DG-os3tz]

People keep mentioning Raheem Morris leaving as a negative, I think it was a positive. I never thought the Rams defense looked that great under him.

[@jamesanagnos6123]

too vannila glad hes out

[@andrerodriguez966]

I think Shula is running the same defense or I could be wrong

[@jamesanagnos6123]

Rams are gonna get off to a great start, to boost them to the division title. Gonna be an unexpected rough year in Santa Clara.

[@edwinrampage39]

Man the NFC west are just hating on the Rams.Doug keep this video and when we win it all plz get them back on and show them this pathetic take on our rams and flash another superbowl ring 😆 go Rams

[@travesotom6890]

Doug is absolutely clueless and he doesn’t stick up for the Rams, all the other guys were talking a bunch of nonsense and says nothing, the Cardinals guy said the Cardinals have the best offensive line in the division and they don’t, the Rams offensive line is going to be a lot better than them 😂

[@JayNichols-h7i]

I'm honestly glad Avila is staying at LG. He was good there last year. I didn't want to move him over to center; don't change what worked.

[@takeovaLA]

From what has been said I don’t think it was his performance but Jonah Jackson wasn’t performing as well at LG which Avila was really good at last year and he did a lot to help the tackle out on his side so that’s why they are liking him back there maybe we might not see Avila at C this year but maybe next year he did get a lot of good practice this year and should just help him out moving forward if they decide to put him there in the future

[@RAMbo-209]

We have the only Superbowl from this division in the last 20+years😂 HORNSUP

[@rjwsr314]

Seahawks in 2012 but yeah I get it tho!!! #hornsdafuckup #gorams #mobsquad

[@Dare-rq4zj]

The key to beating the Niners is protecting Stafford with a strong run game and giving him time. Give Stafford time to pass and he will cut up any secondary with this stable of WRs. I was never a fan of moving Avila to center. LG is a premium OL position second only to LT. Why would you move your best OL to a lesser position? Also, backing Jackson up with Limmer makes a lot more sense if Jonah continues to be injury prone. The impact would be far less than having to play Bruss at LG. The Rams have the best QB in the NFCW with the best trio of WRs. They have outstanding talent at RB with Williams and Corum. Purdy is the second best QB in the division, and that is where the Niners will end up.

[@TroyBraiden]

Agree, but don't sleep on Ronnie Rivers

[@markvasquez5134]

That's hilarious that you think that Brock pretty is even in the same league as Matthew 😮Stafford. 😂

[@andrerodriguez966]

Whiners fans and commentators are always delusional and make excuses for everything

[@Laotzu819]

49ers seem fragile this year. I think there going to be really good or 8-9

[@markvasquez5134]

The Niners are done at least this year. They're deflated 😢

[@markvasquez5134]

Kyler Murray is the happiest quarterback that AD has retired

[@TroyBraiden]

I think he'll come back at some point this season

[@tmill5507]

"Rams are about to fall apart" says the cheerleader for the 29ers. 3 blown double digit leads in superbowls and one blown double digit lead in an NFC chip 💀

[@oldmanghost219]

Rams have got all kinds of interesting things going. Line backers, Punt returners, O-line switch up added help. So we are looking at the O-...line dance... shuffle ... &... the Chris Shula Twist.

[@greglp776]

Rams have the best chance to win the superbowl in the league....sorry boyz

[@travesotom6890]

Rams have the best offensive line in the division easily this Cardinals dude is absolutely clueless 😂

[@timtompkins3483]

Doug! No doom or gloom! Positive think positive we’re the class organization of the NFL, we’re Rock’n it! We’re gonna kick there butts!

[@markvasquez5134]

D'Mack talk about it. ❤

[@JayNichols-h7i]

I want to see noteboom steal the job from Jackson & not look back. Rams and us are counting on him to have a good season & confirm why we gave him a lot of money.

[@edwinrampage39]

I love how the whiner guy brings up predictions, and they don't win when it counts 😂

[@chirocket4791]

I liked how the Rams shifted from all in, to more of a draft and development team post all in. They have done a good job with it.

[@travesotom6890]

This Peacock guy is a absolutely clueless dude he’s a Whiner fan and always hating on the Rams , he thinks Purdy is better than Stafford , he’s delusional 😆

[@rjwsr314]

Alex Clancy always hated the rams and I remember when Sosa Kreminjas told him the cards wasn't the best in the NFL west in 2021 and his feelings was hurt and we beat the dog shit out of them the second game of year and embarrassed them in the playoffs. I ain't listening to nothing he say lol

[@TheCountofToulouse]

Whoever wins this division wins the Super Bowl...so, you know it wont be the 9ers.

[@bigronmas3113]

Rams 💯 !!!

[@shavedwookie699]

The Cards guy saying "winning twice as many games" is impossible, year to year. Rams 2022 to 2023 double (5 to 20), 2016 to 2017 almost triple (4 to 11).

[@XpRoJectHybridX]

Cards guy huffs his own farts

[@jayrocky9067]

That cardinals guy got a lot of nerve. 😂

[@noodlestrading]

"Sean McVay's recent remarks not only show a disregard for the fans' perspectives, but also seem like an attempt to spin a questionable decision as a smart one. By downplaying the valid concerns of fans and framing a potentially poor move as a brilliant strategy, he risks coming across as out of touch. It's one thing to stand by your decisions, but dismissing the fans' intelligence while trying to sell them on something that doesn't make sense only deepens the disconnect. Fans want honesty and respect, not condescension disguised as confidence."

[@EddieaFU]

S/O to the Seahawks but the 9ers are sore winners & Cardinals are smug with nothing to show for it 😂 we taking this division

[@jayrides5598]

Wait to represent Doug. You really started off sounding so positive about this team…. I thought Travis was supposed to be the negative one. Really set up that whiner guy to talk his shit.

[@tonybino01]

Byron Murphy has that Aaron Donald vibes.

[@JayNichols-h7i]

I still am concerned with the CB group. An injury to D will or white would be catastrophic almost with the lack of depth and talent.

[@andrerodriguez966]

😂 They ganged up on Doug , the hate for LA is real !! HORNS UP!!

[@mussodadgang]

Not thinking it’s Matthew Stafford as an mvp is insane

[@memoreno9]

[@coltonjohnson6114]

The Cards have the best offense in this division huh

[@travesotom6890]

Doug is so weak can’t even stick up for the Rams,all theses other guys talking a bunch of nonsense just pumping up their teams and not being realistic 😂

Doug is a beta male 😂

[@bluepilldevolution7914]

Um, Camren Kinchens! This defense might be better than you guys think.

[@molithvongphrachanh8605]

The superbowl usually goes through the NFCWest

[@Killmodemizz]

I think what we did last year was supposed to be this year but we overachieved and could've gotten to the Superbowl. But i really believe we're gonna underachieve this year. And I'm ok with that. Without AD the youngsters are going to struggle. But we do have our frdp! Maybe not even a mid season trade

[@JayNichols-h7i]

We got stronger on offense however, the line, RB, and wr depth looks good. We should be putting 24-34+ points a game with this offense a game against anyone weekly.

[@JayNichols-h7i]

AD was getting triple teamed so much his last 2 years with no holding calls, I don't think it will be as bad of loss as we think. The Dline looks strong our best unit on defense.

[@markvasquez5134]

The youngsters are going to break out in a great season you just watch. They're going to be unstoppable

[@Killmodemizz]

If we can stay healthy it would take us to new highs on offense, but I'm worried about Stafford staying healthy. Jimmy g is a good backup but that's it. We need one more year and a young QB. I was hoping we could've got Michael Phenix from Atlanta for a deal from Morris

[@sandyal1968]

RAMS!!!

[@Yungbrose]

We just gotta do away with terrible crtics lol. They thought the Rams were going to be sorry last year.... guess what? The 9ers beat us the first game on a bs outside the pocket penalty last year

[@travesotom6890]

Rams are not going on a rebuild, Doug is clueless , they already have a bunch of up and coming players , I am tired of him and Negative Rodgers with their bad takes ,Doug sounds like he doesn’t have alot of confidence in the Rams defense. Yet the Rams have more talent on defense this year but don’t have AD but because of that they are going to be worse, I disagree can’t for the Rams to prove him wrong and all the haters 😆

[@edwinrampage39]

Whiners, enjoy your regular season trophy. we win when it counts.

[@ramonramirez8444]

This guy Alex Clancy seems like a straight Rams hater. Talked better about the 49ers than the Cardinals. He needs to join the locked on 49ers crew instead.
