Season Celebration Thread

[RamUK]

Loved this second half of the season run and to see this D light it up.

If Stafford returns even a mediocre draft will make us real challengers.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them go all in again because we're close to being really good.

Plus the 9ers aren't the team they were even a year ago.

We're back baby!

Outside of the obvious things I'd like to get this offseason (better ILB, better corners), I'd love to see this team get a legit threat at TE (no disrespect to Higs) and/or a +RB. Kyren is a decent back, but the fumbles ... and can you imagine what this team would do on offense if we'd had a guy like Barkley? We'd be unstoppable.

Proud of the boys. Tough loss but it's great experience for this young roster and now we hit the offseason and fill some of those areas where this team is deficient.

Philly has a title quality team. But Sirianni will probably prevent them from getting it done.

We went further than I expected. Kudos to McVay for that. Great coaching job. We lost today because of a lot of guys and a lot of mistakes. But man, that KW fumble was a killer. We had the momentum, we were starting to roll on offense with the running game, and he handed the Eagles the lead. If he doesn't fumble that ball, I think we win the game.

We did better than last season and we lost AD. id say that's a winning season in my book. Some things to do this off season but I'm stoked for next year big-time

 

[Ramrocket]

Great thread @Loyal.

These guys played their guts out for their teammates and fans. Couldn’t be prouder of their efforts. Even when the game seemed gone today they gave us hope.

Special shout out to the guys in the chat room. It’s been a great season. I feel privileged to have shared it with you all. Thanks for the laughs!

Our young defense went from little puppies to big dogs amazingly fast, very impressive!

We're only a handful of players from winning the Championship.

I love this team. I love all Rams teams, but this team here....... I love em, haha. Another above average draft and this could be a formidable squad for the foreseeable future. Staff has to come back though.

 

[RamFanWA]

If this years draft is half as good as last years - we're in for some great football!!!

Go RAMS!

That’s the key. Stafford’s window is closing and fast. We decided to rebuild after 2021. Next year may be last chance before we have to find a franchise QB. Lots of teams spend years trying to find one. Got to have one in todays game.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

At least the Lions are out of it too.
The Rams will likely pick ahead of them in the draft too!

 

[jrry32]

If we want to complete this team, we need to add a legit cover CB (who can play the run), a good ILB, a WR or TE who is a threat in the passing game (ideally, both), and improve our depth. We're not far off.

1-4 start to the season and about 10 yards away from the NFC championship at home.

Have to give some credit to the coaches and players.

Any changes to the OL?

 

[Ellard80]

I think we might need some more young talent at WR.

BUT I think Kupp's demise is overstated - he looks fine out there when he gets targeted.

They are just not looking his way.

 

[OntarioRam]

As frustrating and angering as this season was in the end, the team showed real strength at overcoming adversity. To start 1-4 and end how we did is remarkable. The defense grew tremendously over the year. Both the players and the DC. Stafford definitely still has it. Our QB + head coach combo is easily the best in the NFC except for perhaps Washington given how insane Jayden Daniels is playing (I am a big Dan Quinn fan), so we should be very strong contenders with another good draft.

We could use another CB, a LBer, a tackle, and a RB.

 

[jrry32]

Any changes to the OL?

Nah, I'd keep things as they are. I'd look to sign or draft a swing OT and let Noteboom walk. I'd make Jonah Jackson available for trade, but if nobody offers anything worthwhile, I'd keep him. OLs are invaluable.

 

[lordbannon]

I love how the defense stepped up. The line grew three sizes this year, and as soon as there was pressure, the secondary showed up.

We get some more beef on the o line and some help in there linebacking corps and it's a complete team. Just have to stay healthy next year

 

[DzRams]

I'm fine with this plan, except I'd keep Jackson for depth no matter what. $3.5 mil. cap savings isn't enough to move the needle for me.

That is if they're going to make big moves going all in for a run while they have Stafford.

He doesn’t get any separation at all.
