The Rams looked like Dick Vermeil´s Rams during their 34-31 opening week win over the Seahawks, and then they proceeded to remember they are Jeff Fisher’s Rams by scoring a combined 36 points in their next two games, both losses.

Nick Foles, the quarterback they traded Sam Bradford for, is underwhelming so far with two touchdowns, one interception and back-to-back games of throwing under 200 yards.
Their road ahead only gets harder with games at Arizona and at Green Bay. They are just two of the most formidable teams in the NFL, so…good luck with that.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-2)

If the Rams were disappointing, the Bucs let an opportunity slip away against a mediocre Texans team on the road.
They scored only nine points, missed three field goals and Vincent Jackson (their star receiver) couldn’t put both feet down for a potential touchdown in the third quarter.
They don’t deserve to be in the bubble. The Rams don’t, either. The New York Giants, Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles are all 1-2 as well, and they are all better than both of them.
