I've reached my tipping point. Been following every Rams game since I was 10 back in '03 and slowly became the mega-diehard fan I am today. I, like many others on this board eat, drink, and breath Rams football. I mean 100% 24/7 365. From watching daily interviews, to reading daily articles, rewatching games, and engaging with fellow fans in social media, the Rammies DOMINATE my free time.
Well quite frankly I've just run out of gas. Year after year I put my heart and sole into my fanhood and this is how we as Rams fans are repaid? We have gone through the worst 5-year stretch of football in the SB era (15-65). We are one of only 4 teams that hasn't made the playoffs in the past decade. Fish has said our team is better than our record would indicate, but is that really the case? We have all the talent in the world, yet Steve Spagnuolo was somehow able to match Fisher's best win total with a much less talented roster.
The Rams have taught me that nothing is ever as easy as it seems. The talented roster we've amassed over the past 3 years should equal more wins right? A team that beats the NFC champions should be able to handle a bottom 10 team right?
The passion is still there for my Rams. I'll still watch games, but I just can't invest so much of myself emotionally anymore. The Rams are like a being someone in a toxic, abusive relationship: you want to get out of it, but it's much easier said than done. From now on I think I'm just going to go 75%. It just takes to much out of me and ruins my weeks when I invest so much.
Can anyone else relate?
