Happy with the season over all. I have lived and died with this team for more years than I like to admit. And this years team has certainly broken my heart at times. But, it has also given me joy at times. I agree with what so many are calling for improved O-line play, a number 1 receiver someone who commands notice. But more than anything I want to see consistency. Lets start by beating all the teams we should beat and playing at the highest level each and every game. With a few tweaks the future looks bright. (dons shades) I haven't posted much this season because of a lot of the team and player bashing. Just not my thing, although I love some of the passion. Time to relax take a breath and know that our team will be in the mix for years to come. And thats fine by me.
 
We pretty much avoided the major injuries/Covid till the very end. It definitely sucked to have the injuries when it hurt us most though. Overall it was an enjoyable season. The biggest "Suck" of the season is the fact that we weren't in our seats at SoFi. I only had 3 seasons to be in those seats to begin with, till we retire to Florida. Now we only have 2 (hopefully).

The season was satisfying for the most part. '04-'16 is still fresh enough in my mind to appreciate our success.
 
Best moments:

10-6 and a playoff win.

Beating Dallas week 1, when everyone had boners over their 3 WRs.

Beating Tampa in Tampa, and royally fucking up Tom Brady.

Going 2-1 against the shitbirds

Sweeping Arizona and the Kyler Murray/Kliff Kingsbury love affair

Beating the Bears, especially that bulldozing Malcolm Brown run. Haven't seen that in a long time.

Cam Akers emergence after his injuries.

Watching the #1 defense week in and out.

Worst moments:

Jets.

Getting swept by the shitters.

The comeback against the Bills only to have to falter last second.

Dolphins.

Who would've thought the supposed worst division in football (the AFCE) the Rams went 1-3 against?
 
To all my Rams brothers and sisters, what a ride! Sometimes completely overlooked, discounted, rarely touched upon favorably by the media.......yet here we were in the 4th quarter only down 7 to the powerhouse Packers and still within reach of going to the Final Four. Who believed? WE BELIEVED! We have the most ambitious owner in the NFL who has the cash to build the most amazing stadium in the entire world. We have one of the best coaching staffs this team has had in 20 years and that 24 other teams would lie, cheat and kill for. When other fans hear the Rams are coming to town, it's like the fricken Rolling Stones are coming to town. Can you imagine that? The once downtrodden Rams franchise now has people everywhere losing their minds with excitement and anticipation that they are playing in their town. They, like us, are looking forward a year ahead for the chance to see this kick ass team and franchise. Thank you everyone here at ROD and I will still be going on the site at least 5 times a day so I don't miss a thing about the Rams. The best place, the best fans, just a joy to be part of this amazing internet family. I know this is silly, but, I love you guys.
 
Sad to see Staley go to the Chargers but I'm certain there are many available candidates to take his place. Just because he's gone, he doesn't take this season's playbook with him and that will come in handy. Rams will be find and I wish Staley lots of success as Head Coach. I know the Rams will make the necessary additions and subtractions to make our team stronger next season and a legitimate Super Bowl contender. I would love Sean McVay to get another chance with the Rams to win a Super Bowl. Go Rams--See you next season and I hope fans will be present at SoFi.
