Dammit..,.Too many remember the 1999 NFC Championship Game, which made this one too easy...On second thought, you are an oldster like me, so you remember the 9-0 drubbing we gave the Creamsickle boys in 1979!:rockon:

My granddad took me to that game in 79.

That was the beginning of my hate for Tampon.

Tampa was my 1st thought too! And I'm just waking-up!

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Buccaneers 9-0 in the NFL Championship game and it was not that close, should have been 26-0 as Ferragamo missed on some opportunities. Those 70's teams under Knox were better, but Fred Dryer said that Malavasi was more open for post season, that Knox did well during regular season, but always stayed conservative in the playoffs, which always brought the Rams up short.

I concur to a degree, but Knox did not have the best of luck either, one year he went for the touchdown at the goal line against the Vikings and they held the Rams, the next year, he kicked the FG and it was blocked. Had a playoff game won against the Chargers with the Bills only to lose on a desperation pass by Foutes with former Ram Bill Simpson falling down.

I always felt under Knox, his field goal kickers were not good until the signed Rafael Septien in 1977 to replace Tom Dempsey. David Ray was good in 1973, but had a bad playoff game missed three field goals and the Rams brought in Dempsey in 75 and he was just awful IMO. Should have went with a younger kicker earlier, but that is not the only reason Knox lost with the Rams, but his final season in 1977 underscored his luck as the Rams played the Vikings at home in a mud bowl because for the first time in a 100 years it rained in Southern, CA.

Again imagine if they belt the Metro Dome a decade earlier and the Rams played the Vikings inside? Would've been a totally different story.

Wasnt' that the phantom holding call against Mack?

Sure was and Ron Jessie actually was in the end zone and the Ref marked him at the one, even back then Rams were getting hosed by the officials.

That's the first one I thought of. That 9-0 game really stuck in my head. Then of course, who could forget the Ricky Proehl catch?:yess:
