Rams vs. the rest of the NFC

The Rams' streaks against the rest of the NFC aren't that much better than their futility within the division:

NFC East:
Giants: four straight losses. Last win: 15-14 at St. Louis, 10/14/01.
Eggles: two straight losses. Last win: 20-7 at StL, 12/27/04, and Philly rested most of their starters that game.
Redskins: two game winning streak, including one of last year's two wins. Last loss was 24-9 at StL, 12/4/05.
Cowboys: one game winning streak, last year's other win, 34-14 in StL. Last loss was 35-7 at Dallas, 9/30/07. You know, the one where Tony Romo ran for a first down on 3rd-and-6 after recovering a bad snap thirty yards behind the line.

NFC North:
Vikings: one game winning streak, 41-21 win at Minnesota, 12/31/06. Last loss was 27-13 there, 12/11/05.
Packers: one game losing streak. Last win: 23-20 at Green Bay, 10/8/06.
Bears: two straight losses. Last win: 23-12 at Chicago, 11/16/03.
Lions: one game winning streak, 41-34 win here, 10/1/06. Last loss: 30-20 at Detroit, 12/28/03.

NFC South:
Falcons - one-game losing streak, last season's last game. Last win: 28-16 here, 12/2/07.
Buccaneers - one-game losing streak. Last win: 28-21 here, 10/18/04. The Bucs are 4-1 against the Rams since the Rams beat them in the 2000 NFC Championship Game.
Panthers - four straight losses, including the 2003 Divisional Playoff here. Last win: 48-14 here, 11/1/01. (Both Faulk and Canidate ran for over 100 yards.)
Saints - two game winning streak. Last loss: 28-25 overtime loss in StL, 9/26/04.

The Rams haven't been a team that beats you black and blue, which shows up here. They haven't beaten the Giants or Panthers in eight years, or the Bears in six. And the Bucs only once in basically a decade. Sure, that's partly schedule quirks, but those are all classically physical teams. Steve Spagnuolo's right, and Billy Devaney's right, to try to put together a roster capable of dealing with physical play and returning it in kind. That's what it's going to take to get the Rams back on the right track.
