Here’s the biggest reason that Ram fans should be happy at the midpoint...

[Rams43]

The Rams have strung together back to back complete games.

They simply humiliated the Cards and now the Giants in all 3 phases of the game.

When one can crush the opponent simultaneously with the O, the D, AND the ST units, well...

I’d say that it is impossible to overstate the importance of the above, frankly. I had thought that it would take at least another year for all the moving parts to gel in order for the Rams to get to this point.

That’s not only impressive, but it bodes VERY well for the second half of the season.

Gone are the days of fluke breaks, lucky bounces, trick plays, and ref calls that enabled the Rams to steal a victory here and there. Oh, no. Now they are executing in all phases as if they were a 5 year Dynasty, for cryin’ out loud!

This team is legit. Not saying they’re gonna win their remaining games by blowouts, of course. But I am saying that they are gonna be extremely competitive and will seldom be outcoached.

These are Good Times to be a Ram fan. This season has already been a great ride, and I think it’s only gonna get better.

Just come over here and give me a big fat RAMS hug @Rams43 :grouphug:

Is it bad that I immediately had this song start in my head? Or am I just a geek. Or both?

 

[IowaRam]

snead has to be a little relived as well

 

[PressureD41]

I gotta be honest, I'm still in awe of whats happening! We are able to play with anyone! I just keep chirping to my buddies "Its my time"!!!!

Nope same here bro! Love me some Conan!

 

[yrba1]

Definitely enjoying the Kool Aid, but my expectations are still mundane. It's going to a real test in terms of how we fare against NO, PHI, @SEA down the stretch.

 

[Ramhusker]

I'll be much more satisfied with a big home win against Houston. Sure, they'll say Watson was hurt but that is irrelevant to me. Just win one big at home and the only teams on our schedule that can play with us (Eagles, Saints, Seacunts) will have something to think about!

It just means you have fantastic taste in both movies and music, Bravo!

Titans ain’t no slouch. They beat Seattle when healthy. We have a tough schedule coming up. Houston is a must win game. The NFC is very tight right now and there will probably be a 10 win team that doesn’t make the playoffs.

Even if the season weren't to play out like we want, I would still be happy because the future of the Rams finally is looking up.

 

[shaunpinney]

I'm over the moon at the moment, we're playing some great football in all 3 phases, but also more importantly in my mind, we seem to be one of the healthiest teams in the NFL. I'm sure that's down to Coach Rath, yet another amazing addition to the coaching staff IMO.

But years of being the whipping boys and butt of the NFL jokes has me cautious every week. Our toughest stretch is yet to come, so lets take care of business with regards to the Texans first and keep the winning momentum rolling.

But, as @Elmgrovegnome said - the future is looking bright

Is it worse that I'm hearing the theme song from Red Sonja

One BIG stat I didn't notice here^ is the fact that Goff too " Zero-Hits!" that's right the G-Men got "Zero Hit's on the QB!! Talk about an O-Line keeping your QB Protected!!!:yess:

Yep. Have to remember that some of our wins are against:

Colts, Niners, Cards, Giants - two impressive wins in there with the Jags and Cowboys, for sure. If we continue the trend of going 4-0 against teams we should beat and about .500 against good teams, we would end up around 11-5

 

[Ram65]

Winning is always good.
WInning big is great.

Lets see how the Rams play against better teams. Sorry but, I still see some holes that need fixing. The run defense was gashed early. If not for the turnovers the Rams could have fallen behind early. The secondary was gashed some too and Eli missed some open WRs. The Giants were short handed on both sides of the ball which gave the Rams a big edge. Solid win for the Rams but, against a weak opponent. Better teams will take advantage of the Rams defensive.

My thoughts exactly. If we manage to beat those teams... then I'll be getting a nice gigantic glass of Kool Aid

Every team including the other 1st place teams have things they need to fix.
