Random Ramsdom 12/9: Let's pretend the season started week seven

Headed into week seven, the Rams were 1-4 and looked to be backtracking tremendously -- especially on defense. However, the team has rebounded and since gone 5-3 with victories over the Seahawks, 49ers and Broncos with dominating performances against the Raiders and Redskins.
