I hope so as that would make for a fun game. Their defense has been stellar. As far as the Rams go....I don't know how many players are up for new contracts but if there are a lot the only 2 ways to keep a solid 11 guys on each side is to either sign cheap vets who want a ring or cheap rookies. At some point they will lose talent to free agency.

It seems we are just brilliant from the front office to the fans........and humble too got me wondering so I did a google and this is the latest thing I found Perry Q: Longstanding Rams fans such as myself (over 20 years) can't help but be pleased with the team's on-field performance the last two-plus seasons. Does their front office have the attention to detail in terms of contracts and salary-cap management to maintain the team's current run? Do the Rams have their key players signed and a cap status favorable to adding the word "dynasty" to all the superlatives attributed them? -- James, Dahlgren, Va. MORT -- James, the untold story of the Rams' rise to greatness is that Jay Zygmunt, the team president, has been almost brilliant in locking the big guys up to long-term yet reasonable contracts. I'm talking about Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, Orlando Pace, etc. Torry Holt is still playing with his rookie contract, so that might get a little tricky, but no executive has done a better job managing the roster (or salary cap) better than Zygmunt.
