NFL Announces 2011 Schedule For the Rams

The 2011 opponents were announced for the Rams a while ago, so the strength of the schedule is no surprise. They play both 2010 Super Bowl teams (Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers). They also open the season with a gruesome three game stretch against the Philadelphia Eagles (Home), the New York Giants (Away) on Monday Night Football and the Baltimore Ravens (Home), in that order.

But the team should not be too discouraged, as they play in the NFC West, the weakest division in the NFL, which makes for six very winnable games on the schedule. They also get the pleasure of playing the Washington Redskins (Home) and the Cincinnati Bengals (Home); as well as the the mediocre but very underrated Cleveland Browns, and the mediocre but very overrated Dallas Cowboys.
