Final Record: 2-142012 Draft Position: 2nd
Preseason Ranking: 13
Week 1: Lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, 31-13
Ranked - 29
Ouch. The Eagles put the hurt on the Rams and with so many early season injuries, St. Louis could be hard-pressed to challenge for the division title.
Week 2: Lost at the New York Giants, 28-16
Ranked - 30
The Rams are better than their 0-2 record and are probably better than their 30th ranking, but injuries and bad decisions have St. Louis trying to figure out what is going on. The game against the Giants was sloppy and not the best way to highlight your talents in primetime. Like Seattle, the Rams still have more than a good chance in the NFC West, but how truly terrible is the division if two of its four teams are considered Forked?
Week 3: Lost to the Baltimore Ravens, 37-7
Ranked - 31
Note to self: Bruised, but not broken. Shaken, but not stirred. Winless, but not out of it. Signed, Sam Bradford.
Week 4: Lost to the Washington Redskins, 17-10
Ranked - 32
Even in the NFC West the Rams won't be able to overcome their horrible start.
Week 5: BYE WEEK
Ranked - 32
Normally teams that start winless look forward to coming out of the bye weeks locked and loaded for their first win of the season. Unfortunately for the Rams, they have the Packers waiting for them this week in Lambeau. That can’t be good.
Week 6: Lost at the Green Bay Packers, 24-3
Ranked - 32 Indiana Jones Style Recap
[At a press conference discussing the Rams woeful 0-5 start]
Coach Spagnuolo: We have top men working on it now.
Media Member #1: Who?
Coach Spagnuolo: Top... men.
Week 7: Lost at the Dallas Cowboys, 34-7
Ranked - 32
The Rams keep looking worse every week. They haven't even been close to winning a game all season.
Week 8: Defeated the New Orleans Saints, 31-21
Ranked - 30
Unfortunately for the Rams, and the people of St. Louis, the Cardinals can’t celebrate a World Series championship at the Edward Jones Dome every Sunday.
Week 9: Lost at the Arizona Cardinals, 19-13
Ranked - 31
Giving up a 99-yard punt return touchdown is a devastating way to lose in overtime. But scoring 4 points in the third quarter on the strength of two safeties was pretty cool. The Rams have that going for them… if nothing else.
Week 10: Defeated the Cleveland Browns, 13-12
Ranked - 31
Just when you think the Rams might have figured out how to gain the #1 overall pick, they go and win another one against a suspect team like the Browns.
Week 11: Lost to the Seattle Seahawks, 24-7
Ranked - 31
The Rams should have been so much better this year.
Week 12: Lost to the Arizona Cardinals, 23-20
Ranked - 31
The Rams have been close to breaking through all season, but they just aren’t good enough.
Week 13: Lost at the San Francisco 49ers, 26-0
Ranked - 31
Nothing says "we haven't given up" like scoring 0 points against your division rival.
Week 14: Lost at the Seattle Seahawks, 30-13
Ranked - 31
The Rams have showed just enough promise to avoid earning the #1 overall pick next year, but that's about it.
Week 15: Lost to the Cincinnati Bengals, 20-13
Ranked - 30
The Rams are having a devil of a time winning this year, but their strength of schedule could end up hurting them come draft time if they end up tied with the Vikings.
Week 16: Lost at the Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-0
Ranked - 31
The Rams could be on the clock as early as 4:00pm Eastern on Sunday… if Indianapolis can get past Jacksonville.
Week 17: Lost to the San Francisco 49ers, 34-27
Final Ranking: 32
Tomorrow, the 2011 Minnesota Vikings...
