I am gonna take a minute and go over all the teams in the NFC that are 0 for the season. I will discuss who they lost to, why they lost and what they can hope for in Week 3. Four of the past 60 teams to start the season 0-2 have made the playoffs.
St. Louis Rams
Rams 13 - Panthers 27
Steven Jackson’s 2 fumbles on 2 consecutive drives in the second half against Carolina gave the Panthers all they needed to exploit the pitiful Rams defense.
Rams 16 - 49ers 17
The Rams defense improved to only allow the 49ers to gain 186 yards. However, the Offensive line without Orlando Pace allowed Bulger to get hit too many times. Somehow he managed to throw for 386 yards and 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions. A late 56 yard missed field goal could have given the Rams a victory.
Week 3
The Rams begin a 7-game stretch with 5 of them on the road after losing their first 2 at home for the first time since 1998 where they went 4-12.
In Tampa Bay on Sunday, the Bucs are looking to score more after putting up 31 points and only allowing 14 to ‘the best team in the NFC’ - New Orleans Saints. In all honesty, the Bucs are still atrocious. I like the Rams chances of beating them in Florida. They are 22nd in the NFL against the pass and look for Bulger to convert on some more plays into the end zone. Also, they are 20th against the run and Steven Jackson needs to right the ship after screaming at Head Coach Scott Linnehan on the sidelines last week. The Rams are not as bad on defense as they seem and actually rank 10th in overall defense.
Rams 24 - Buccaneers 21
