More Pressure on the Rams?

[Roadtrip635]

Dallas fans give the organization a lot of grief, rightfully so, for our poor playoff record over the last couple decades and there is always a great deal of pressure to win. The Rams finished 13-3 earned a bye, have a great young coach, QB, etc. and have been one of the favorites most of the year to go to the Super Bowl. What happens if they lose?

McVay has been heralded as an offensive genius, but they went 1 and done last year and he hasn't been part of a team that has won a playoff game. Goff was in the MVP discussion early in the season, until he started stumbling near the end. They have one of the top 2 RBs in the league, one of the year's best OL and a bunch of gaudy stats. They went all out to "win now", making big moves this off season to bring in Cooks, Suh, Talib, Peters. They earned a bye and home field too.

We weren't expected to get this far and the Rams were expected to at least make the Super Bowl. The pressure is on now, how would it look for the Boy Genius HC and #1 overall pick to get beat at home by Garrett and Dak and have to see Jerry's grinning face plastered all over the media?

the rams became less of a juggernaut at the end so yes I imagine they have a lot of pressure going up against a young, fiery team who wasnt expected to be here

...both Rams & Dallas. Dallas hasn't done squat for 20+yrs..lol. Rams are 13-3 looking like SB favorites all year.

Pressure is all in them IMO. They are the #2 seed.

The Cowboys finished hot. I think there is pressure there to prove the last half of the season wasn’t one of those ‘flash in a pan’ scenarios - pressure to prove this team is the real thing. Both teams will be on their game, we should all fasten our seatbelts.

Not a cowboys fan (they look really good now) and I read the forums from all teams the eagles play (and your forums by far are the most active by miles which I wish the Eagles had that activity). I think the Cowboys beat the Rams this weekend as they look very formidable. Really hoping the Birds win as well so we get a Cowboys/Eagles championship game. Cowboys should with their D should be able to handle Goff who hasn't been so sharp towards the end of the season and the Cowboys certainly did a number on the Saints while they took the Eagles to the woodshed the last time.
