Guilty Pleasures

[leoram]

In previous years by this point in the season, I stopped caring about what was happening in the rest of the league and would begin working on my draft research. Once the L was hung, o went to spend time with the kids and try not to be depressed.

But this year is different...I am not just enjoying our success, but the collapse of others which is what I call a guilty pleasure. Shame on me, but here goes...

Several here predicted Palmer would be knocked out of the game in the first half. While I like and respect Carson...I smiled at the prophets on our board.

My girlfriend is a Cowboys fan. While they put a whooping on the Niners (c’mon, can we say Same Old Sorry Ass Whiners here?), I could smirk and say, “too bad it wasn’t a shutout”.

Bradford is hurt again so I guess Snead did the right thing after all. Keenum is a good dude and deserved to play on a winner.

All those morons who labeled Goff as a bust are crawfishing back to what some of us said last year.

Pittsburgh has an offense...unless they play the Jags. Makes me feel better about last week.

I live in Missouri among Chiefs fans so their skid makes me smile.

The Lions were said to be a more sustainable surprise team while the Rams would fade...uh huh.

While other teams’ fans lament bad officiating (true), “biased” announcers, season destroying injuries, and bad coaching...where we used to live...we don’t feel such burdens.

Knee jerk media perception has swung our way for the first time in a dozen years and I still don’t care.

Stltoday still has their trolls but they are being drowned out by the diehards who won’t let off the gas pedal.

My Ram brothers aren’t arguing with each other, it’s a peaceful easy feeling here on ROD.

Finally, when I tell people I’m a Ram fan...they don’t have to mask how sorry they feel for me.

I never get to "UP" about the Rams. Too many years of disappointment. I am still worried about sustaining the success with only half the season done. (If the Rams had handled the SeaHawks I would feel better).

I will concede that this years team is playing in a way I have not seen in years, (said Hawks game could have been won even after all of those turnovers and bad play!)

I think the London game was officiated as best as possible. No obvious Bias.

Exactly! If we had good officiating all the time, we'd win every game 33-0! Point taken!

Except for that INT on Goff. Look at the replay, the PI was so bad I don't know how anyone could have missed that. They literally ran a pick play against our own WR to get that ball. They knew that pass was coming. Either way, that was a big miss.

Mock drafting is fun tho....

Might still wanna see a bunch of those....like...what would you add to this team....CB??? OL???? what? WHAT????

Depends on the upcoming FA's for sure.

Vikes are basically the team Fisher wanted to have. Defense-centric with a solid run game and offense that can take advantage of some short fields. So it's ironic both our QBs ended up over there lol.

I finally had a chance to sit down and watch the game last night after a busy Sunday. That was a bad miss by the zebras. I feel better about Goff throwing that pick. I think it would have been on the money to Gurley if not for the obvious PI.

Yet Goff's comment?

"That was just a stupid throw. I have to do better." Pretty mature response.

Don't feel bad at all ... indulge that schadenboner. I do the same.

Ex. in 1999, it wasn't just the sudden, shocking, and overwhelming resurgence of the Rams that I enjoyed. Awesome as that was, that season was made even sweeter by the demise of the 49ers. They were coming off yet another playoff appearance and went into the season still appearing to have that swagger that they'd had since the early 80's.

And going into their first matchup with the Rams, they were 3-1. We crushed them in every way imaginable, but mostly psychologically. As I said, they were 3-1 going in ... and they were 1-11 the rest of the way. Like the Visigoths who sacked Rome, we took everything from them and left them a shell of their former selves. Believe me, I enjoyed the hell out of watching that franchise fall on its ass.

We've been kicked around long enough, time for someone else to get kicked around. Time for other teams to taste a lot of the sh!t have had to taste.
