The Journey is What Really Matters.

[Memento]

Every game this year is a journey. Sometimes our team loses heartbreakers. More often, we win - and we've won a lot this year. I'm not even focusing on the Seahawks game. I'm not focusing on how we could've won or lost or whatever happened...because it happened, and there's nothing we can do to change the past.

Just bear down, focus on one game at a time, one day at a time. Don't forget the mistakes but learn to correct them so that we won't make the same one twice. But most importantly? Realize that each game is a small piece of a large journey, and that journey has led us to be a true contender for a Super Bowl. So, no matter what happened our last game, no matter what happens yesterday, learn from what we do, so we can do better, every single day. Because that's all we can be: a better version of ourselves today and a better person than that tomorrow.

Now, on to Atlanta.

I love your post. We should appreciate where we are on 12-19-2025. Who would have thought we'd make it this far. It's glorious. So much good football left to be played by the good guys.

Let's fucking go! There's no team we can't fuck up!

The moving on from a dark day thread. Some losses are hard to shake.
We have all it takes to win against anyone

 

[FaulkSF]

Good to hear from you @Memento . Agreed this loss was a heart breaker for many reasons.

 

[Faceplant]

There you are! Great post. Rams are coming for it all.

Words of wisdom from RODs very own @Memento, very well written and true. Cheers to the journey ahead.

Cool, yeah!
Coincidentally, I was looking at applying "The Hero's Journey" format to the season.
I'd say we're at the bottom of the chart:

Agree about McVay.

Feel sorry for Atlanta.

He was pissed …

“Did he (Puka) look distracted to you?!”

The only thing that will make me feel better is getting Seattle this year, in the playoffs and breaking them into little pieces.
There is a lot I do not like about that team, they deserve to get fucked up.

I've been enjoying the heck out of this season. One of the best in memory. But I'm not gonna lie, the Hawks game got me so riled up that it was painful to watch.

Gonna try to enjoy the ride the rest of the way. But I had a bad feeling for that Hawks game.

Rams compete HARD, I'll give em that. But this heart-attack business is tough for the fans!

 

[RhodyRams]

gladto see you active again Mems!!

 

[RamDino]

Thanks for starting off my day the right way. Good post @Memento.

 

[FrantikRam]

This is possibly the best Rams team of our lives - at least performance wise with the schedule weve had this year. We definitely need to enjoy this.

Thank you, Momento. I think you learn more from a loss than a win, so this loss may help us way more than we understand right now. I’m pretty sure we will become a better team after this loss, making this a win on our quest for the championship.

We have an absolute dawg in Matthew Stafford. We will be fine. If we don’t get the bye this year, we may be better off as many teams lose games with that much time off. So long as we don’t play in GB or Philly or Chicago we should be fine. Last year we almost be Philly at home in the snow.

I think we could get help from the team that beat us, Carolina. They are desperate. They are at home. I personally think they beat Seattle. That moves us back into first place if we win out. But either way we will find a way. Because we are the freaking scary LA Rams baby. LETS GO!

Thank you for the great positive post. Every game, when they win, it's a high like a first kiss! Ha! We really love this team and when they lose, it's like finding out your wife is cheating on you. We forgive the losses and cherish the journey (Don't Stop Believing)! Go Rams!!!!!

 

[Ramstien]

My personnel feeling is that it is better to have these types of games and be tested before going into the playoff than just cruise in. Teams have to find ways to win these hard-fought games because that is the way the playoff games usually end up. Oh yeah, don't let me forget you can't beat these sorry arse NFL officials, but I have to admit I would like to if I ever caught one out in public.

 

[I like Rams]

I hated the loss Thurs night, literally the worst gut punch I felt since we lost the SB in 2018. Yet looking at our possible opponents through the playoffs, im personally glad this outcome happened. We are looking at possibly playing Carolina, Philly and Sea again in the playoffs. The 3 worst losses that I imagine everyone here and on our team would love to make right, and what better way then to beat their ass with everything on the line. I dont give a shit about bad weather. We went to Philly last season and outplayed Philly in the snow. We can play in the weather. I look at this as our redemption tour.
