00:02 There has never been a worse Super Bowl hangover than what the Rams experienced
00:08 in 2022.
00:09 I mean it.
00:09 Yes, it's a 17 game now regular season schedule, but
00:14 no reigning Super Bowl champion had ever lost more than the Rams a season ago.
00:19 12 Ls for LA, a 5-12 record, a lot of that dependent on health.
00:25 We'll talk about it in just a moment.
00:28 But Chantel, as you forecast a new year in Los Angeles, can the Rams bounce back?
00:33 >> Listen, I think the Rams can bounce back, but
00:37 it really depends on what Matthew Stafford we get.
00:40 I think their success relies on him and that's kind of a tough thing to say
00:44 because he's like 35 years old, so you're putting a lot on a 35 year old.
00:48 Of course, he's coming back from that elbow injury as well,
00:51 had surgery, only played nine games last year.
00:54 He also threw eight interceptions.
00:56 And this is a guy that we saw struggle.
00:58 The Rams are definitely still having a hangover, but
01:00 I feel like we're seeing more of a downward spiral.
01:03 And when you take a look at the NFC West, I like the Seahawks better than them.
01:07 And I don't think that the Niners are gonna lose that division at all.
01:11 So I don't think the Rams are gonna make the playoffs and
01:14 I just see this being more of a downward spiral.
01:16 They still have a guy like Aaron Donald.
01:18 They still have a piece like Cooper Cupps.
01:19 So I do think if Matthew Stafford can stay healthy,
01:23 I think there's a chance this Rams team can kinda stay in it, but
01:26 I don't really see them making the playoffs.
