They should, eh? Short memory those dudes have.iced said:here's not the only one.
just got home from the gym and was listening to the sports talk here (Tampa area, so bucs)... they were going through their games and when they got to the rams, they guy was like "Oh yea we should beat the Rams" and moved on to the next one...
i'm like "What?" - remembering the Rams @ Bucs game that I went to last year where we sacked freeman 6x and got 4 picks..

But, I'm not ready to leap us to 11-5.
We need to see what the draft brings and we need to get out of preseason without injuries... then one game at a time. There are some tough games on that schedule.

I agree with Softli that its best to break the season down into quarters(4 game chunks)....but yeah,i think he's getting ahead of himself a bit with an 11-5 prediction.CGI_Ram said:I think we are going to be a very competitive team with a chance to win every week.

If Fisher believes we're an 11-5 team (and I know there's no indication of that), then we're an 11-5 team. Fisher would have no problem convincing this team that they're capable of 11 wins, and that he *expects* 11 wins out of them. If that's happening (and I would think it is), then we're going to win 11.mojorizen7 said:I agree with Softli that its best to break the season down into quarters(4 game chunks)....but yeah,i think he's getting ahead of himself a bit with an 11-5 prediction.CGI_Ram said:I think we are going to be a very competitive team with a chance to win every week.

Faith.
Keep it.
I think he'll put out another bold proclamation this year and try to make his team adhere to it.ramsince62 said:Would that be "blind" faith, dude? :sly:The Dude said:If Fisher believes we're an 11-5 team (and I know there's no indication of that), then we're an 11-5 team.

You might be correct about Fisher saying he "expects" so many wins. but I'm not sure that fits his personality. I would think he'd just take em game at a time, this is still a mighty young team.
Point made....then again, a nice sack goal like that wouldn't seem to apply the same pressure as wins. It just seems there are too many variables to make such a call, but again, you could be correct...........now next year. :hehe:The Dude said:I think he'll put out another bold proclamation this year and try to make his team adhere to it.ramsince62 said:Would that be "blind" faith, dude? :sly:The Dude said:If Fisher believes we're an 11-5 team (and I know there's no indication of that), then we're an 11-5 team.

Remember last year? "We're gonna break the NFL sack record."
Faceplant said:At first glance, I was thinking 7-9, 8-8. We have the 4th toughest schedule going into the season, and a LOT of questions at key positions. I reserve the right to change my mind after the draft of course, but that is what I am seeing right now. Sam and the offense are the main concern. The Rams simply HAVE to find a way to score more points.
Yes indeed, plus it seems the Rams get scheduled to play some teams just when they're getting hot. :bummed:GreeneCounty said:Faceplant said:At first glance, I was thinking 7-9, 8-8.

Agreed. Scoring more points than your opponent is key to victory. It always seems Rams get a tough ass schedule.
