I personally don't believe in predicting wins and losses... too many variables like injuries, etc. My hope was that the Rams simply got better as the year went on... which they did. 7 and 1 to end the season and the playoffs. But I don't think anyone predicted that their draft would have produced so many great players.
Completely true. Many said, "tough start but if the D can improve could be a nice finish". I think most were hoping for 9 wins but expecting less.
As far as predicting wins....every year some fans go over the schedule and assign an "L" or "W" to each game. Rarely accurate. Some fans point to a couple of teams and say "should be a win" or "that's a loss" and they're nothing like that. There's always a couple of teams not as good or bad as predicted. Hell the Rams are in that group this year.
I live in the optimistic realm. I can't see the point of pessimism.
"This is what I don't want to happen and I fear it will. So I'll spend the season worrying or complaining and in the end, will still be disappointed if it happens."
Or "I fear we won't be good so in the end I will be pleasantly surprised, despite spending the season in pain".
I'd much rather look at things through an optimistic prism and spend the season hoping things work out. In the end, I could be disappointed but will have enjoyed the ride.
Different strokes.
Are we here to drink pinot grigio, watch football or predict things hoping we can point to at in the end and say, "I was right!!!!"?
It's in the way that you use it....nobody's right till somebody's wrong.
