Bare with me here, but...ugh. I haven't believed in the Rams in 7+ years. Honestly, why would I? How COULD I? Nothing but piss poor play and heartbreak. In 2010, I had hope...not necessarily belief, but hope that the franchise was on it's way back. 2011 was a shit storm of biblical proportions that pretty much wiped that hope away. YES I KNOW ABOUT THE INJURIES, but it was still a reality check for all of us. 2012 provided more hope, tempered hope, but hope none the less. The defense looked like it was coming along nicely, and the offense showed just enough to make us wonder what could be with more talent on that side of the ball. 2013 thus far.......hmmmmm......more questions than answers for me.
All I will say is that I expected, like some have already mentioned, that this team would struggle through the first part of the season and hopefully finish strong. I am on record as saying that NEXT year is when we show dramatic improvement. I hope we are still on that schedule, but MAN have they looked bad through 3 games this year. Yes, all three games. I pray this team shows some level of cohesiveness on Thursday. One more clunker like last week and you can bet that locker room will start to lose confidence. Sorry for the Debbie Downer spiel. This team has broken my spirits for the better part of 35 years, so I am juuuuuust a tad jaded. Sunday cut me deep and I am still not completely over it. A win...or even a good game Thursday will go a long way towards fixing that. Go Rams.......
