Can't get over superbowl loss in 2018

[Aulac]

It was not a matter off "if" but "when" would we win a superbowl. Goff, McVay, and Cooks were all to blame for that superbowl loss but the real culprits were injuries. Brandin Cooks cost the Patriots their superbowl and he did the same thing to the Rams. Goff lost his #1 and #2 weapons in the superbowl with a damage Gurley and a missing Kupp. That Broncos player who injured Kupp is responsible for Brady winning that superbowl. If Goff had either a healthy Gurley or Kupp, we win that superbowl. And if he had both, we would win it easily.

Brady is the luckiest SOB on the face of this planet because no other QB get to play a SB team missing its two best weapons. Gurley was the offensive player of the year and Kupp makes life easy for Goff and Stafford. It would be like Brady not having Randy Moss in his superbowl. What other SB team won a SB while missing its two best players on offense? I mean our defense was rank #23 (if i'm not mistaken) in 2018 so it was below average.

That superbowl changed the course of Rams history forever and I'm still shellshocked by it even today. I just can't get over it and I don't even know how you cope with it? And don't get me started on Stafford, no other superbowls from here on out will be as special as the one we could have gotten in 2018.

I spent over $5K to go to that game. If I can let it go...so can you RamBro!

 

[RamDino]

I agree completely, but I still can't get over the 2001 SB loss!

 

[RhodyRams]

Were you not a fan of the Rams in 2001/02 or watch Superbowl 36?

 

[jjab360]

I'm over it tbh. That was 3 years ago and it sucked but the two years that followed where it felt like we were trending back towards mediocrity sucked even worse.

We're past all that though, and with the way we're playing I don't see how that's the first thing on any Rams fan's mind right now.

The only memories that I choose to remember from that season have to do with the NFCCG in Nawlins'.

Same here. But I went with my son and even though we lost, we'll always have that memory, yeah it would have been a TON better had we won, but it WONT be another 20 some-odd years till we return like in 01....

Yeah we should have won....

There you go. I still spit when forced to mention

Tom does goats to keep it in the family Brady
The Cheetriots entire franchise

i haven’t dispelled my rage about getting ripped off cuz it was 9/11 and they were the GD Patriots.

just like how Tommy takes it in the rump had to win in his first year in Tampa to be first home SB

but I’m not bitter…..

It was easier for me to take, I guess. By then everybody knew what Belichick and Brady were about. That's why I hated that matchup. Belichick had a 30 year history of coming up with master game plans and getting the better of young QBs in big moments, and he did both again that day.

1979 I'm still more proud of the Rams that day than anything. They gave the Steelers the biggest fight out of any of their SB opponents.

2001 was the one where you just knew the Rams had been ripped off. Lost to an inferior team, officials let the Pats get away with defensive holding all day, and then the Spygate revelations a few years later.

I'm over that one. The one where they taped us while the refs swallowed their whistles bugged me a lot more.

As far as your point about Brady being lucky, couldn't agree more. Last year's NFCCG was proof. A completion percentage in the game of 53% or so, throwing 3 INT's in the second half, on the road, in a conference title game, against a QB who is considered elite and one of the best of his era ... and that QB lays an egg. No other QB turns in a performance like that and wins that game.

I spent way more than that and I'm completely with you. I enjoyed the whole experience with my wife and oldest son. I hated losing... but it was a fantastic weekend of celebrating our team.

And hey... I did get to scream "known cheater" to Kraft's face when he was trying his hardest to climb up into the SUV that was picking him up. That little old bastard... you would of thought he was trying to climb into a monster truck by the look of it, but it was only a normal sized SUV. Fucking Kraft Whack-N-Cheese. LOL

NFL officiating truly is atrocious. I've noticed even that much more now that the Rams are in LA. We constantly got hosed back in the STL days.

They could fix it but for some odd reason the NFL seems content. That delay of game in DET vs BAL almost seemed deliberate. It was as long of a delay of game as you'll see.

That GB v whiners game was another level of incompetency -- what they pick out and what they don't always astonishes me. So easy to manipulate.

This sounds like a Skip Bayless breakdown of Cowboys game using 'what', 'maybe', 'if' something happens. It happened. As much as it hurts I think it was a fair game and I can accept that, unlike the 2001 season Super Bowl.

That still hurts and stings and I know how the Pittsburgh loss must have stinged to generation before me listening to how they describe that loss. I was 20 during that loss and maybe why it stings more like the Pittsburgh loss hurt more for the older gents?

How old are you in 2018?

Right?

I said in October of 2001 that the Patriots were gonna win it all. Everyone was tuning in to Patriot games after 9/11 and even as they were 3-4, iirc. I just felt an air of inevitability...

People forget that we not only were taped and Belichick so abused the gentleman's agreement that the Refs would let the game play even in the face of obvious fouls, but that Patriot team also got bailed out during the Raider game with all sorts of shenanigans not the least of which was The infamous Tuck Rule.

Everything about that Super Bowl was wrong other than the Rams being there and I think that's when the NFL decided to "tweak" the outcomes of Super Bowls. Which is when I realized that if you pay attention to the "stories" entering the playoffs, it's more than just "establishing a narrative for each playoff team and then amplifying the winner's narrative". I truly think last season was supposed to be a last hurrah for Drew Brees, but when he finally shut it down, his list of ailments were almost inhuman... 8 broken ribs and a host of other injuries... so they moved on to other stories.

Like, the minute I found out about Andy Reid's son getting a DUI and harming that little girl on the eve of the Super Bowl, I knew that there was NO CHANCE that the NFL would allow the image of Andy Reid celebrating to be juxtaposed with the stories of a little girl fighting for her life.

Which led to the first have having so many flags thrown that you'd have thought someone air dropped a ton of Terrible Towels...
