Dear "Future Me" (aka Angry Monday Ram Fan)

[AvengerRam]

This is a message to the "future me" that will exist on a few Mondays this year after the Rams lose a game.

What did you expect?

Did you think the Rams would cruise to a 17-0 regular season record and then sweep through the playoffs to a repeat championship?

A noble aspiration, no doubt, but that was never realistic.

No... this should have been expected. You should have expected the Rams to have some bumps, some ups and downs, and some setbacks. That's just the nature of the beast.

Your job is to weather the storm and to avoid overreacting. Don't forget... during last year's championship run, the Rams were 0 for November!

Focus on what's important. If the Rams can (1) enter the playoffs with its key players healthy (perhaps with Les Snead adding some veteran help during the season), and (2) get a decent seed that provides a path to the Super Bowl that has at least one stop at SoFi, we'll be fine. Better than fine, really. If those things happen, we'll be an extremely tough "out," and will be poised for a shot at repeating.

So, take a breath. Whatever happened yesterday.... its probably something we can overcome.

Its a long season. Strap yourself in and enjoy the ride!

Bravo

I need to flag this so I can send this to people who get too upset after a loss

Damn, a little early to be preparing 'copy & paste' material for the regular season.

Dear future me deal with the fact that vent threads will be at least twice as popular as celebration threads. People will log on to complain but are less likely to celebrate here.

Dear future me: Don’t ever forget how much you HATE everything to do with the 69ers, Belicheat and Fuckin’ Tom Brady. Spray paint it on your cinder blocked headstone for all who care to come down to the rusted out trailer down by the river snd see.

Dunno which one, but one of those AFC West teams are gonna hand the Rams their ass.

If it must go down that way, I hope it's mostly weather related. Playing in Arrowhead Stadium late in November would be understandable, and losing that one late in the season to a quality team should light a fire under our asses as we approach the play-offs. jmo.

 

[snackdaddy]

Heck, future me could be reading this after the first game. The Bills just might be the strongest team in a strong conference. Its gonna be a real test to see if we're focused for a "Run It Back" season.

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but... I think I'm not gonna be "quite as upset over losses as usual" next season. Why? Because last year proved to me that the McVay Rams can win the Lombardi even when they don't seem like the "team of destiny."

I think that moving forward, the McVay Rams are gonna be like what the bleeping Patriots were for many years-- a threat to win it all no matter their record. Just as long as they enter the playoffs peaking and with momentum.

If Rams go 13-4 or better, they'll have a great chance. And if they go 12-5 or 11-6 and are a 3 or 4 seed, they'll still have a great chance. And even if they go 9-8 or 10-7 and just sneak in, I'd STILL think the Rams would have a legit chance to run it back.

So yeah... "in theory" I'll be less despairing after regular season losses, because this team has proven it can play its best when it counts the most.

This.

The team didn’t look like a champion losing 3 in a row last November.

We have the NFL’s best coach and GM… Sit back and watch them do their thing.

I have total confidence that if something isn’t working McSnead will retool. This means changing starters, rescheming, trading, FAs, lawyers/guns and money, whatever it takes.
