The Rams are taking crap because of a bunch of close games. But come on man, we are 11-1 and played the top two teams in the NFL, winning one and losing one on the road. Additionally, we played a bunch of teams that are in the playoff picture so it's not like the Rams were beating only patsies. The return of Aqib Talib helped as the defense only gave up 16 points and one TD which happened with Talib on the bench. Also, if Goff was "on" for thet Lions game, we probably drop a 50 burger on them.
But with a bunch of close games, some of which were close only in score (i.e. We could have beaten the Packers by 9 and some other teams by more, or the Denver game where they score a trash TD at the end to make it close) the Rams have probably become mentally tough and battle tested to be trailing and able to overcome adversity.
Even our one loss to the saints, we were down 21 and came back to tie it even if we eventually lost on their home field.
I think the close games will help us down the stretch. Our players feel like they will come through and win even when it gets tough. I like that and think the Rams will go deep into the playoffs and hopefully win the Lombardi.
