It is time for the fans of this team to step up their game.

Yes, they have been horrible for the majority of the last decade. I get it....
but you know? So what?
Lots of teams have been horrible for long, long periods of time too. Their fan bases manage to cope and still show enthusiasm for their teams.
Look at the energy and excitement the fans bring to every game for the Bengals or the Bills or the Browns.
A few years ago when Buffalo came to town, their fans in the upper deck of the EJD were going toe to toe with OUR HOME FANS!
That should never happen, anywhere, anytime, IMO.
We need to go to more games, make more noise, have MORE FUN, make banners, catch phrases etc.
We need to match the energy surrounding our team, home or away, at the stadium or at home. There might be times we need to bring energy that our team simply wont have, times they need to lean on us.
They have created a new culture at Rams Park, I just think its time we get up and follow their lead.

This isn't impossible nor is it a fairytale.
This isn't a pep rally, this is a call to arms.
Who's coming with me?

what we REALLY need is guys to stay healthy! I think skies the limits if we can do that.

I will go a little farther for the Rams this year.
If were all lucky, they might go a little farther too.

Id really love to come along, but we don't need a 12th man like those mouthy shehawks. Sorry, just had to say that.
When teams come here, they should feel like they are "Under The Dome". Trapped and they can't get out. Sounds better than the "Jones Dome".

But Seattle isnt the only NFL team with loud fans either, hell Green Bay, Kansas City and Chicago fans are louder in the Dome than Rams fans sometimes

no, we don't need a 12th man, but a full house of loud and excited Rams fans wouldn't be too much to ask for...

Love the "under the dome" idea, by the way

In AZ, Rams fans are often as loud as the home crowd.....

Tell those fans we could use them in St Louis...


First thing that came across my mind with the post. In aZ we don't have any problems with fans making noise and getting into the game! As a matter of fact there were like 4 fights in my section and one directly behind my seat (in row 2)! lol It gets pretty crazy there... I have pictures was a blast! Been 7 of the last 9 years

Yeah haven't been to impressed in recent visits to the EJD. Probably because stadium was pretty empty

It's obvious some fans don't remember how loud the dome was when the Rams were winning. You couldn't ask for a louder place. Winning cures everything!

Went to the last 2...Saw JJ's break-out game and last years debacle...Cook is gonna be a beast with Sam...But yeah, tailgate like PROFESSIONALS, let you cheer without really messing with ya, and that is a nice dome...I was on, I guess the Rams side, right near the 50...Best seats I ever had in my life...in that lower bowl...30-10....almost as bad as the Valentines Day Massacre Lakers vs Clippers....at least I flew in...so I could fly out.

When the Horns start winning, consistently and decisively, the fans will come in eager droves. Winning cures quite a lot, and attendance is definitely impacted positively by it.

I would not say step up, but say advances to the next level. If these guys advance to the next level it would be tremendous.
Corey Harkey: The big TE that can block, catch, and run. Gives the offense a whole new play scheme in the book. Very valuable. In fact he could do for the offense what I believe Donald is going to do for the defense. That is put it over the top.
Isiah Pead: I think he is already there and has shown it at RB when he has played. He just needs to get his head to the next level. A back field of Pead and Stacy could be devastating. Then throw in Mason and Cunningham to mix it up and that running game could be unstoppable.
Cody Davis: The guy has a nose for the football big time. I love this guy. If he advances to the next level, and especially at safety, that would fill a big hole in the secondary.
Brian Quick: People get on this guy and I don't now why. He went to a small school and did not get experience needed to step right into the NFL. I see what he can do and I believe will do. If not this year next and of that I have no doubt. When he advances to the next level then the Quick, Bailey, Britt trio are going to really be something. Then throw in Austin, Cook, and Givens and I think the "running" offense gets a second look. and Yes, I still like Givens.

Gotta win to have crowds unless you're in GB or someplace. Attendance is down across the NFL (as an average). Things still tight for a lot of folks, NFL is enjoyable on TV ect. If you are going to ask people to shell out tons of money their team has to have a shot.
