Over Macho Grande?

[RhodyRams]

Selassie,
So who was worse, Spags or Linehan?
And tell us why also...

damn.. no one said there was going to be an essay required after the multiple choice quiz

I voted the Jeff Fisher years. Even though it started with a lot of hope it was just a miserable handful of years and bitter disappointment.

I almost voted for Dickerson's departure, it almost got me to stop rooting for the Rams and quit watching the NFL. I did stop for the better part of that year he left and eventually got over it but it wasn't easy.

 

[RamFan503]

I didn't vote because I've literally gotten over NONE OF THEM.

 

[RamFan503]

OK. Maybe Chrissy Everett (sorry @Selassie I ). Blade gave us some pretty damn good QB play and some hope at QB. And he was very purdy.

I am wondering how many of the eleven posters who voted for the 1970s playoff losses to the Vikings, actually lived through them. The 1974 and 1976 NFC Championship losses in Minnesota were half-a-century ago. That's a REALLY long time.

I once went back-and-forth with a good poster over whether the 1990s was a brutal decade. I argued YES because for the first nine years (1990-1998) the Rams had the worst record in the entire NFL. The poster countered that the 1999 Championship was enough to make it a great decade. I asked how the poster could just ignore nine horrendous seasons; and the poster admitted to only starting to follow the Rams in 1999.

Getting-over something you did not experience, is not a big deal.

Testify! I know how I felt when Zac Stacy left....

Good points. I'm one who voted as being "over" the Viking losses. Though technically I "lived through them", I can't say I remember them since I was only 6 in 1976. I was 8 when "Heaven Can Wait" came out in the summer of 1978, and that's when I started following the team more closely.

And yes, the 90s were a brutal decade for those of us who were old enough to remember them well.

I remember Jim E throwing a pic, then tackling the guy along the sideline with a forearm to the throat.
He had game.

Good point. It's just history to me. I was alive, but didn't discover horns until 1980 Superbowl.

You know what? Even still. Fuck those purple people eater - Fran Tarkington led - mother fuckers. And fuck them for going 0-4 in their Superbowls.

Cool. Now I'm definitely over it. This is a therapeutic thread.

The Mud Bowl in 77 was the worst pain. Finally getting them in LA and it rains like crazy. I cried like a baby that day/night.

Being close and losing hurts way more than being an embarrassment & sucky. That’s why I’ve enjoyed the 9ers run the past 4-5 years.

 

[HitStick]

Jeff Fisher should be accredited with bringing some relevancy back to the rams. Everything between Martz and Fisher was a complete joke.

Fisher was the necessary stepping stone to get to where we are today. Let’s not forget that some key players in the early successful years of McVay were players Fish wanted/drafted.

.

where's the kurt warner getting treated like garbage then only getting cut after every other team was set at qb option?

all because his wife named names.

before brenda struck, martz preferred to play warner with a broken throwing hand than bulger. after brenda struck, warner had to stand on the sideline for a whole season watching bulger in action.

and no, i will never get over it.

I'll never get over the spags years of total embarrassment. Ever.

Those years are why Spags doesnt get HC offers and everytime we forget it we throw up in ours mouths a little more.

It's unbelievable how aggressive he was as a dc yet so meek and scared as a hc.

Punting the ball the away, two scores down with less then 2 mins on the clock. The team never recovered from that cowardly act. Two years of misery after that.

Will likely take hatin on each every one on the list, along with Ken Norton Jr. heavy bagging our goal post, same old sorry ass Rams spewed by Slimers, pretty much anything Terrell Owens, or Cowboys (especially Jimmie Johnson), to my grave.

it keeps me warm when it’s cold out

While Norton did the goal-post-punching, it was Dana Stubblefield who said Same Old Sorry Ass Rams.

The former-All Pro-DT is currently serving 15-to-life for sexually assaulting a disabled woman in 2015.

The thought of Stubblefield's current situation, sometimes keeps me warm.

I will never get over the Rams loss to the cheating patriots in 2001.
