These are good days fellow Ram fans.
Time will tell for this year.
Rams have a tough remaining schedule.....Seattle has the easiest schedule in the league the rest of the way.
Of the likely playoff teams I can see the Rams beating every single one....and losing to every single one.
The Rams have a competitive, young, fun team.
I’m just trying to enjoy.
If there is a stinker game like vs Miami, I think back quickly to the horror show of the Linehan era.....well, that whole 15 is so year window.
Enjoy this year.

Last year, finishing 9-7 and one missed FG from the play-offs was "heartbreaking" for some, disappointing for many others but in reality it ranks as nothing less than the 5th or 6th best Rams season of the past 20 years.

A winning season with a competitive team is something to appreciate and enjoy in real time. No universally loathed scumbags on our team, an awesome culture, youth, energy and great coaching... guys like Bobby Trees and Kupp, Havenstein and Big Whit and Jared Goff are easy to root for.
We get to watch greatness every year in Aaron Donald. My God how fortunate could one fanbase be? Donald and McVay and Ramsey and our young backs.. so much to be thankful for on this team.

Our Superbowl loss a couple years ago was a low for some Rams fans... but I question what those fans were doing between 2006 and 2016. Because any true fan that experienced those years, Sunday after Sunday, watching mediocre become bad and then hope for a better season only to watch bad become embarrassing...

We are all here watching and discussing our team during a golden era in it's long history. Savor it.

I remember the opening game between the Rams and Eagles and laughing at our futility at covering eagle receivers deep while the safety and cornerback collided letting the WR score. And they did it twice. In the first quarter. It was so pathetic.

I think that was the year we went 1 and 15

I had to laugh or I would have started crying.

Are you guys brothers? Ramlock Ramlock1. To funny.

Injuries are part of the game.Having depth is what is cool.

I’m just going to enjoy each game win or lose. The Miami game was tough to watch because The Rams are the better team.
:wtf:

We will make the playoffs but not the SB

2021 the Los Angeles Rams will be the first team to win the SB in their home stadium

Deep defense, a legit OL (we'll have to see how Boom does Mon.), good stable of RBs, we know what Goff can do, great coaching, drafting, personnel management, young team--we're in good shape, enjoy the ride.

First off how could the Rams Org. cast-off 3 very big-name players Gurley/ Cooks/ Matthews for a total of eating over $33.3 million worth of this season's DEAD CAP FUNDS! .......Okay, I set the table here.......................;)

I would never have thought that I would be as positive as I am after the loss of our only All-Pro OL'er. Whitworth has been playing @ All-Pro level all season had a grade of 88.7 having no sacks! Even after this, I remain on the positive side. I really think this very young OL will unite & bind together & be stronger in the long run when this season concludes.

This Staley defensive scheme philosophy of utilizing his defender's versatility to disguise their path to attack the offense .....is exciting on each & every snap. I would never have thought that Snead & McVay would have gone out & got a DC that might have a more dynamic & solid unit than that of McVay has in his first season 2017. But I believe this to be true!

These two Ram 2020 starting units have put this team right smack in the middle of the playoff rumpus without scarcely utilizing any of the 2020 draft class with the exception of a late 3rd-day 6th rd draft selection who only started 3 gms thus far due to two shoulder injuries. Simply remarkable!:biggrin::fistbump::partyhorn::party:

Now I just can't wait till the NFC Championship Game when the 39 yr old Andrew Whitworth suits up & runs onto the field of play!

We've got this. I won't give up on this season until we're out of the running or - what I think - we will win the whole thing.

We have the elite defense. We have the elite offense. We have the elite coaching. We just need a kicker to step up in order for this season to be one of our best.

The last 20 years were quite a bit more painful for most everyone here compared to me. I live in the KC area and it wasn't until around 03 or 04 before I became a Rams fan. Too young to buy a cable package to watch the games and most of the time Rams weren't aired around here.

Wasn't until a few years before Mcvay took over that i could actually watch the games every week... and it kinda sucked. Seemed like we got blown out weekly and only had success within the division which were usually grind it out games. I recall one season under Fisher when we swept the division but only won a game or two against other opponents. Starting off hot and blowing it in the second half drove me nuts.

Yeah I remember the heartbreak but nothing like most of y'all remember. Still it makes me appreciate Mcvay and the last 3 years.

Let's shock the world......we have a legit defense and this offensive system can be tough to stop once everybody is clicking.

McVay needs to figure out how to stop the bleeding in a "stinker" game like miami, or when the "O" is off BEFORE halftime.
After that, this D can pull us through a deep playoff run.

Thankfully the Rams hold their destiny in their own hands moving forward. Win their division games and they are a solid high seed playoff contender. Limp in via the wild card weekend and see you next year. If by a miracle Whit can make it back for a playoff run, that sure would be.....

Looked it up, Rams lost to Eagles 38-3 on opening day 2008, on their way to a 2-14 season. Eagles had 3 receivers with over 100 yards, and overall outgained the Rams 522 to 166. Body language of the Rams was pathetic, they looked confused and dejected.

GOOD TIMES!!

So for the anyone on here who can’t appreciate what we’ve got with McVay... check out these “highlights” and please remember our history.
(Holy crap that was bad... ouch!!)
