If I'm watching a game not involving an NFC West team, I like a close game. If it's a game against an NFC West rival (or the Cowboys,Patriots, or Green Bay), I want the Rival destroyed!

If it's the Rams vs Anyone else, I don't want a close game. Close games mean heartburn and tension. I'd prefer 24 points in the first quarter and "beat they ass" points until we get a 50 burger. I want the comfort of luxuriating in a win while we do high fives on ROD for two hours, and then really the next week while we go over the deep end and start talking about Super Bowls....lol

So how about you? You want a "Good Game" or do you want a gobsmack beatdown of the lowly Cards?

Blowout. Have witnessed enough rams being blown out over the last 10 years, time to see the rams doing the blowing out.

I'll take a Rams blow out any day. But, let's face it, a close game is so much more exciting and fun. Although, Rams losing a close one is so aggravating...a lah Seattle recently.

Man good question! I guess I'll take "C, All Of The Above"...lol

Sometimes when blowouts happen it gets kinda boring. Those heart pounding last minute type wins is what really gets me going throughout the week. Especially when we’re against good teams.

Beat their butts up and down the field and bury them *)@% down in the dirt.

Blowout. I want to see us kick the shit out of every team we play.

Either one as long as the good guys win. A close game is much better to watch though. I love the tension!

I don't know, that 52-0 beating we gave the Raiders was very fun to watch a couple years back. Honestly yeah either way it's fun to just watch your team win. But to beat the other team into submission is enjoyable too.

When you're 55 and have suffered through the past 15 years I'll take a blowout every week. My heart doesn't have many last second wins left .

I don't mind getting blown out - the earlier i accept defeat the easier it is to cope with. Shucks, the other team showed uo we didn't. On to next week. I would definitely rather get blown out (think match ups vs Bears, Bengals, Vikings, Ravens,and Patriots over past 4 years) - regardless of situation than lose the way we did vs Miami last year.

If we get a chance to clinch division in week 16 give me a blowout for sure. Momentum wins SBs

I want to beat weaker teams in good close games. It builds confidence allowing team to learn how to close out games, and can be humbling if things get lax.

Blowout. Stomp on them, then get the starters out while they're healthy and let the backups get some experience. There will be enough close games later on.

There is something about watching your team work hard to keep a lead, or try to make that long drive at the end of the game for the win. It's really exiting. Specially taking in consideration that we have a first year head coach, new staff, and a very young team. I'd really like to see us flat out win a game in the four quarter. However, when the game is really close in the fourth, the chances of a loss are more prevalent.

I hear the argument for a blowout win over a divisional foe as swell, though. Screw the Cards. Let's see a blowout.

I want a blowout for teams we should blow out. Like we shoukd blow out the Cards, so im not expecting anything less. But a team like the Pats, Packers, or Eagles, its gonna be a slugfest.

Blow out as long as it is the Rams on top. 77-0? Yeah - that works.
