Going into week 17...
We'd destroy the Pats
We'd beat Brady
We'd have a top 3 Defense
and.....
If we win week 17 we'd be in the playoffs.....
Would you all take it?
Yes.
That said, this season for the Rams has been a truly 2020 season in that even when something goes well, it's kinda shit.
It's not our record, but HOW we got there.
It's not our stats, but HOW they occurred.
Superficially, this has been a pretty decent year. When you watch the games and realize we've been one of the healthiest teams with almost no down time to our offensive and defensive weapons... and especially in looking at HOW we've fared...
It's hard not to if not focus at least pay a lot of attention to how many opportunities have been squandered.
Oh, and we were NEVER gonna be a 6-10 team with this roster.
The good news is that with Goff shitting the bed and McVay altering the offense to not work with this personnel, we're still on the cusp of a 9 or 10 win season and maybe heading to the playoffs.
The big upside of this season is that our floor is 9 wins.
And honestly, that alone may help sustain me in this off-season when the ghosts of some of our shittier moments come to haunt me...
