The Rams have beaten teams with a combined record of 27 - 39, they have also lost 2 games they could easily have won against Washington & Seattle, the only teams who should have been able to compete with us thus far, and the Dallas win was too close for comfort. I was so sick after those losses I couldn't even post for the few days following those games. That's right, we should be 7 - 0 right now if it wasn't for stupid mistakes & penalties. If the Rams were to deserve media support, we have to win the big games that matter, not just against weak opponents barely muddling thru the season. If the Rams win our next 4 games, we will be taken seriously by the pundits, and while we should completely dismantle both the Texans & Cards, the Vikings & Saints won't be walk thru's, especially the Saints. At least the Saints & Eagles games will be at home, hopefully in front of huge crowds. We do this, they'll be talking about us plenty as serious contenders, but we still aren't likely to be considered in the same class as Philadelphia, as most of these writers are biased towards favoring the east coast teams. For a very long time while winning big games even Seattle wasn't respected by the east coast establishment. Even if we can't beat Philly but keep it close, they'll be talking about us seriously for the remainder of the season.
Personally, I don't care who or what these guys are talking about until the Rams really win some great games against the toughest competition, ... no one knows/understands the Rams better than the fans on this forum, so i'll pay far more attention to what's being said here over some TV or radio guy that actually believes he's right about 32 teams he's covering part time. jmo.
