Right Now Feels Like A Losing Season

[yrba1]

No worries. Be happy. There is nothing you or I could do to change how things play out the rest of this season, or future seasons for that matter. It's fun when the Rams win and disappointing when they lose. As long as the Rams are winning more than losing, then I'm a satisfied fan. Que sera sera.

At one point though with winning consistently, I'd like to see us get a Super Bowl ring. We're at the point now where McVay is dealing with real adversity, let's see how he handles it.

That's a big part of what makes it fun. How the team responds/reacts to adversity. How will the O adapt? Just how good is McVay? Can the OL hold up enough to get through the rest of the season playing like they did before the bye? Can Goff stop with the excessive turnovers and find his accuracy again? Is there any chance this D can start playing like a top 10 D? Can Snead and the FO find the players for the Rams to remain consistently competitive every year? Will AD one day break the sack record playing from the interior DL? If the answer to most of these questions is yes, then the Rams will likely some day make and maybe win a SB. If they are all yes, the Rams will almost certainly make and win multiple SBs.

Smh.

Loyal you care to much what media heads say. It doesn’t really matter. We weren’t going to steamroll the whole season. We have 11 wins and two very winnable games the next to weeks to secure the #2 seed.

If the Rams are meeting expectations maybe you need to re-examine your expectations.

Chill out bruh! Better now than fall apart in the playoffs. Just hope Gurley and the run game becomes more consistent but I have no doubt we will get this taken care of!

Feels like a losing season? Nah.

Losing streak? Yes. But the memories are still fresh of so many soul crushing defeats of the Fisher era when we were close to getting over the hump (but never did), or the utter, complete, no hope Linehan/Spags era ... this definitely doesn't feel like that. If it did, I'd be over reading mock offseasons on the draft forum trying to gin up hope for next year instead of posting here.

I heard on the radio the other day that many Super Bowl teams are.500 in Dec. Don't have a link or remember who said it, just that i heard it. Kinda makes a little sense, teams that clinch let up a little and teams trying to make it to the playoffs or prove something on a losing season can upset some teams.

Does everyone and I mean everyone on the team need to pick it up and play better starting now. You bet your azz they do. Myself I will trust they ones that get paid to play and coach those that play.

GO RAMS.

I'm a grateful Ram fan and it does not mean the last couple of weeks has not torn me up,, but the front office was aggressive in the off season plus at the trade deadline. Rams have a young Head Coach that is still learning and I believe the sky is the limit and gets better in the off season. We have an owner that has unlimited means and is building a palatial venue for the ages and the Rams have won 11 games this season....Horn Up, Always Up!

Some are acting like I want the Rams to lose...

I'm not seeing that.

It seems to me now that we are gonna go one and done in the playoffs again.

I guarantee you mcvay gonna be 0-2 in the post season very soon

Every game... every quarter of a game... every play... each unto itself. Impossible to predict this crazy game... football.

Me? I'm not gonna panic. I'm just gonna take it one game... one quarter... one play at a time.

Pretty sure that's how the Rams are gonna play it too.

 

[Rabid Ram]

Nobody is complaining but we are concerned. We had high expectations for this team. Super bowl expectations. It seems to me now that we are gonna go one and done in the playoffs again. Is that what you want? Have a winning season and then get punched in the mouth in the first playoff game? Again? This team (for the last 3 weeks)has show no grit, no heart, no passion and no fire. If they don't get their swagger back I guarantee you mcvay gonna be 0-2 in the post season very soon

How about we wait till the playoffs to decide how this team will perform a lil cart before the horse if you ask me

 

[OC_Ram]

No one thinks a winning season as playoff games ... a winning season is the regular season EVERYONE knows that .. don’t try moving the goal posts

1-11 is a losing season
4-12 is a losing season
7-9 is a losing season
11-3 is by no means a losing season

Playoffs is just when the real football starts

You measure a winning season however you wish

Me? I’ll require a win in the playoff because we failed to do so last year.

Cool?

Edit:

The Rams can take that NFC West title and hang it up next to the participation trophy because EVERYONE knows it’s ALL about the playoffs!

 

[MrRiceGuyRJ]

We're just picking the worst time of the season to struggle. If our first 3 games were the performance of our last 3, and following 12 were like our first 12, everyone would be stoked (we'd be like the LA Chargers).

Instead we wonder if we peaked early and everyone has us figured out and this is the new norm versus the idea that we overcame adversity and now we're dominating.

You realist that makes zero sense right ?

Is it a winning seasons if we win one playoff game but lose the next ?

There’s a reason we have a pre season a season and a post season right ??

Rather than break up a season into pre - regular - post ..... I simply measure it all together.

Me : Hello mate, quite the preseason we had !

You: Aw yes, but what of that regular season?

Me: it was much better than our post season, eh?

It’s all good UK! We choose to see things a bit different.

Edit: technically you are correct. Mathematically we have won more than we lost.

Solid post. Makes sense.

Sunday Night Football sux...

Thank god its back to a 1 oclock game!!!

 

[BriansRams]

damn man ... stay away from away form high bridges ... before the season start before the Oaklad game .. what did you think our record was going to be honestly now ...

I understand the point you're trying to make my friend. But 13-3 and then losing the first playoff game will NOT cut it this year. I'm not ok with "we made it to the playoffs 2 years in a row..."

We literally must have a superbowl appearance this year, or we have failed. It's that simple.

He's expressing that we need to be at least better than last season. Thus, winning at least 1 playoff game would accomplish that.

Those are simply your expectations and literally mean nothing in the wide world of sports reality zone.

I agree with most of what @LoyalRam is saying .....I a lot of people get attacked for criticing or giving insight in the Rams when its negative. Certain people get sensitive as if we want the Rams to lose ...I would give a kidney to have this Rams team prove me wrong now and in the future but the fact remains that we have shown many weaknesses on this team. With al, that being said a lot of those can be fixed and we hold our breath but what can't be fixed is if out o-line is indeed tired gassed old whatever cause that will be a terrible domin effect which we have been witness since the bye week. The sad fact is that with the playoffs seeds starting to emerge if our line does not sure up you have to be fearful of pretty much all f them but Seattle (yes we beat them 2x) would have a huge chip and might grate us into the ground defensively and offensively with that health run game. Dallas another defense that can really be a problem. Then the Vikings with Everson griffin back scary and the saints line good as well.

So assuming we could improve on the other things if the o-line doesn't come around where is the Rams best match up in the playoffs????????
