Can the Rams really make it to the postseason?

[I Are Baboon]

With a win tonight against the struggling Bears, the Rams pull to .500. Can this team really make it the postseason? Of their remaining seven games, only two are against teams that currently have winning records (Philadelphia and San Francisco). I think they need to win all their remaining games, but it does not seem impossible. What do you all think?

I think it's possible, but unlikely.

Surprisingly, I think they may have a better chance with Bulger at QB at this point at least. Why would you take out the guy who has done nothing but win, for the guy who was 0 for whatever this season?

I think half the NFL is 5-5. I absolutely think the Rams will make the playoffs. Heck, Cincy can still get in. Parity,parity,parity....

Yeah, I am torn on the QB issue. Kurt Warner should be ready to go next week, but how could you pull a guy that has played so well? On the other hand, Kurt Warner is a proven champion/MVP/big game player who everyone knows has a cannon for a right arm.

Whatever happens, I see the Rams trading Bulger in the offseason for some draft picks. Bulger deserves a shot to be a #1 QB, even if it's not in St Louis.

I feel for Warner. If he loses a game, they're gonna hang him. People forget how great he was. It's all about what have you done for me lately.

I loved Bulger in college, (he went to WVU). I had seen him play a million times, and I was surprised that he lasted so long in the draft. But he is proving that he can play now.

Warner is a proven winner, or else there wouldn't even be an arguement. I don't believe in the "you can't lose your job to inury" arguement.

Play Bulger till he struggles, that will allow time for warner to get healthy and sharp again.

Kurt is still great. It's not his fault the Rams started off so bad. The Rams began to win because they got Marshall Faulk involved more. Mike Martz continues to say it is Kurt Warner's team, but we'll see what happens next week.

Wouldn't it be ironic if Warner does lose his starting job after suffering an injury? Funny, that's how he got the job to begin with, after Trent Green broke his leg.

They probably can if they win their remaining games. One loss would mean 10-6 which would be tough in the NFC though.

There are a lot of teams with lousy records in that conference and as of right now besides division leaders, there are only three teams with a record 500 or better. So the Rams will only have to pass two teams to be in position for the last wildcard. If they win tonight, theyll only be 1.5 games behind Atlanta who is currently the last playoff team.

AFC had only 3 times under 500!

I don't think that they make the playoffs....
