Wait what are you guys talking about we were spoiled by the last couple years? Every pro sports team has an obligation to win. It's what they are supposed to do all the time every single year. The fact that the Rams organization did a complete garbage job of winning in previous years doesn't mean we're spoiled now for expecting the success that should have been happening all along. I'm not going to use the shit years as a reason the Rams now should get a pass. They fucked up this year with bad roster decisions, bad play at times and bad coaching at times. That is a failed season and a fail for the fans. Nobody is spoiled for expecting better than that. Everyone involved with the team makes millions off of all of us fans. Don't feel bad about expecting success in return.

I was not spoiled I knew as soon as Zuerlein missed that kick in Seattle, it wasn't our year and my hope was for the offense to find itself and for some of the young guys to improve on the offensive line and that did happen.

Goff for me is like the girl with the great personality, sometimes he looks better and other times, not so good, but I do believe in Goff with hope he takes the next step. I want a Center for this team, IMO, John Sullivan gave them a couple of good years and Blythe was a major upgrade over Allen, but I hope they have their eye on someone.

Anyway I'm always grateful for a winning season because before Sean McVay, I remember how hard they were to come by.

A winning record. We ended with a winning record. Also, we're the best team not in the playoffs. A few things didn't go our way, but thats ok. I'm glad we're winning more than we lose. Not every year is our year. Slight re-tooling and we can be back at it.

I think we could have beaten almost every team in the playoffs too.

I still think we dominated against SF the last game even though they won the game.

A couple of bad plays against them doomed us.

I am pretty sure we could have beaten every NFC team in the playoffs (when we play well - that's a big if though) and every team in the AFC except for Baltimore and probably Kansas City.

Yes that includes the cheaters.

I'm with you.

I'm not happy about not being in the playoffs. The Rams had a chance at three playoff appearances in a row and let it slip away. I know this is a positive Rams forum but, sometimes you have to be critical as a fan. I bought into that Kromer and McVay would be able to get the young offensive lineman up to speed when it became apparent that the Rams were not going to resign Saffold. Overestimating the young offensive lineman and not resigning Saffold was the main reason for the Rams to fall back just enough to miss the playoffs.

Hope they can fix the offensive line and keep the defense competitive. Lots of work in the offseason for the Rams from top to bottom. I know they will work hard to get it right.
