Happens to the best of us...had a good friend in SoCal back in the 90s who was a die-hard Niner fan having grown up in NorCal. He was cool about it though where other were not always.

My favorite-not-favorite though was an old roommate who walks in on me watching a Rams pre-season game in 1991 who asks me if I'm a Ram fan and when I answer "Yes," says simply, "What's that like?"

1990 was the first year that we were 6 games below 500 since 1965 and was only under 500 twice since 1965 thru 1990

I don't count the two strike years.
 
In honor of Whiner week I'm glad Rams posted this highlight. Still my favorite game I've ever gone to watch in person. Bruce crying on the bench after his third touchdown (1:05 in video) was ALL Rams fans letting out the emotion of the moment, he was placed on jumbotron and the whole stadium started chanting BRUUUUUUUUUCE. I still get chills thinking of this game.

This was the game that convinced me that the Rams were for real in '99.
 
I don't want to be a broken record, but darn it, the Rams need to take away CMC as much as possible. They did a great job in the run game, 22 carries for 57 yards or something like that. But the 80+ yards he got coming out of the backfield hurt us. You take away Jone's security blanket and he'll have hold the ball and eat it, or throw it away, or risk throwing it into coverage,

It seems like Rat boy counts on CMC to pick up first downs on 3rd and 3. 4 or 5. And it's pitch and catch if nobody covers him out of the backfield. The Texans showed the blueprint to shut him down. Even an extra second or so, give the pass rush time to get home.
