I'm not trying to rub it, maybe a little but only playfully.....I didn't drink the purple stuff. On the two boards I post on there was a Little bit much in the way of euphoria based on coaches and a few rookies. One poster that I love actually predicted the Rams would lose to ATL in the NFC title game.

This is a team of kids with a QB that hasn't found his way and a defense that hasn't been good against the run for nearly a decade.

7 or 8 wins. Manage expectations during the first several games, these are kids playing and they might be good next year but this year they are bumbling through things.

Teams start clicking and get hot in this league all the time.

Teams also come back from the dead all the time.

I wouldn't put it past our Rams.

But... it needs to start sooner rather than later to make a difference.

While I never predicted a win/loss total, I'm down with this. Time to see what kind of personalities we have here. This team could be hell bent to never let anything like that happen again. Sometimes that's all it takes. We will take this division. How's that for homerism?

Hats off to you.

Anything is possible, just look at some of the teams with losing records besides us. We ain't out of it yet. Get a win on Thursday and things change quickly.

Atlanta 1 2
San Francisco 1 2
Green Bay 1 2
Washington 0 3
Pittsburgh 0 2
Minnesota 0 3
NY Giants 0 3

Again ... I ain't skurred.

I'll be saying 10 wins until the unlikely event that it's mathematically impossible.
And then I'll say 9...

Haven't met a man yet who can make me feel foolish for my love of this team, so...

10 WINS.

I hope not. This team should NEVER want to get the taste of today's "game" out of their mouths. I want them pissed off and hell bent.

I'm talking abut the fanbase, the players better remember this. I never liked the 24 hour rule. I agree with getting past a game, but the way they make it sound is that they don't want to remember it. I want them to remember how they feel and make sure they never play like this again.

Agreed.

I said 7 or 8 and Im sticking with that. I could see this team falling on hard times and being 2-6 or 2-7 at some point and running off 4 wins in a row. Hopefully they will find some footing on Thursday, get back to basics, and win vs. the Whiners.
Its hard to remember sometimes, for most teams, they arent as good as they look when they win and they arent as bad as they look when they lose.

After today's game, I'm afraid I will have to amend my previous prediction;
14-2
Fuck you, non-homers!!

Ok let's hold hands and skip down the lane.......where do you see the other nine victories coming from?

I see probable wins against the Jags, Panthers, Titans, Cards and Bucs. Almost every other game on the schedule is a certain loss right now.

So you see four more wins.....name that tune buster.

Makes no difference if they do or not. This is horrible coaching, not player failure.

If the coaching doesn't humble itself and do what the players are good at vs what the coaches WANT to do, the Rams are doomed. They CAN'T win with these schemes. They MAY fail with better schemes, but this clearly is NOT working.

I said 7 to 9 Ws.

That means anywhere from 7 to 9 losses, but I didn't expect them to lose like this.

Sadly, this team has the talent to win 10-12 games easily. But the schemes are making our guys look bad.

Let Bradford run the hurry up the whole game, and watch how many points we score.

And let Jenkins and Finnegan press cover their guys, and jump some routes to get a few INTs. And send the damn blitz too. It CANNOT possibly be worse than what our defense has done so far the first 3 games.
