Something is amuck with this team.

Rams are cursed. Just no freaking way a team can have this much bad luck.

It's just crazy how much shyte gets thrown at this team.

I've said it for years. I call it the Warner curse. Someone so good as a player and a person was treated like crap by the Rams and given the boot. The sports gods didn't like that.

Perhaps there's a different curse I don't know about? It's possible we are working with multiple curses here.

Georgia and Shaw. There is the root of our curse. At minimum they pissed off the entire league.

I always thought it was when Carroll Rosenbloom mysteriously drown.

Like I said, we could be dealing with multiple curses here. A cumulative effect would explain why it's been SO bad for SO long.

Hell it may have started in Cleveland!

Any Marie Laveau sightings in Ohio back in the day.

Hard not to feel that way but we'll always have '99. Sad that we have to be like the Jets and hang our collective hats on 1 season like that but at least we got 1. Okay, Cleveland and LA both got 1 but I'm going with post NFL/AFL merger.

We can't be cursed. We won a Superbowl.

The Cubs are cursed!

Cursed snake bit or just bad.

One thing for sure the managment has been very bad a much higher percentage of time than it has been good.
Injuries to key players even when they miss extended time is not unusual. Teams that have bad owners who dont care about winning (Georgia) and hire enept GMs who hire bad coaches and blow draft picks....thats not that unusual either. It is not a quinky-dink that the same teams are at the bottom of the league year in and year out. I still believe in Fisher/Snead more than the previous regime. The Rams as an organization have no one to blame but themselves.
Who knows? Maybe all of this will turn out brilliantly. Having two high first round picks could lead to more picks and a deep talent base that not even the Rams could mess up.

I've been dealing with this crap for almost 5-decades. But it definitely got worse after Georgia moved the team to St Louis, pissing the hell out of the NFL establishment.

They need some help but it needs to come from someone else.

It's the Steven Jackson curse. Even though he's gone, you see what he's doing to ATL. It lingers. lol

I don't know about the Carroll Rosenbloom curse (that should have been appeased when Shaw left) or the Warner curse (he's retired), but I know who's cursed on the current Rams. Poor Tavon Austin. It seems like every big play he makes is nullified by a penalty, including 2 TDs.

I'm starting to as well

Remember in 1999 when the Rams burned sage in the Ed before the season started. We need some major sage burning right now
