Which Loss in 2014 was the hardest for you?

[mr.stlouis]

Vikings game was the toughest with SD as a close second. It was like our biggest nightmare had come true and the rest of the season looked to be a massive uphill struggle. All this coming in week 1. It proved to be ultimately true but many more good moments than anybody expected.

even though i chose the first cards game the moment i felt most sick was when the offense ran out for the first time in the 2nd half against the vikings and austin davis was the qb. my heart sank. then i saw him play i felt even sicker. and the d, yuck.

you see i planned our whole usa trip around the cowboys game. totally screwed which way we wanted to do it. but that was alright the offense was set to explode with sam coming back and the d had williams as dc now. winning. then i watched the cleveland game in horror. i had printed the tickets that morning and was so pumped. then when it was confirmed he did his acl i was crushed. by the time the season had started i had convinced myself hill would be ok and the d would at least give us something to cheer about. the vikings game totally soured my mood towards the trip, as in this was the only chance i would get to see the rams play and i would have to watch the 3rd string qb leading the offense.

i have to hand it to austin, he played well until the pick 6 crushed any chance of winning. at least it was fun when quick caught the ball right in front of us for a td then jenkins intercepted right in front of us for a pick 6. it was all downhill from there though.

How is this even a contest? Monday Night, at home, against the cocky and overrated niners? And the way we lost it! After 40 years of watching ram football this game was the closest to making me quit the NFL altogether.

Cowboys

 

[Mojo Ram]

Cards. 2nd game. No excuse to lose that game. None. Oh wait, we're that team that's 8-8 every year. Nevermind.

 

[FrankenRam]

There were so many heart breakers. The Giants after the shutouts and squeaker with the cards. The huge lead lost against the Cowgirls and comebacks not attained. But the worst for me was game one against the Vikings. Slow start? No, nightmare. The keystone cops. It had me so bummed. Horrible everything against a beatable team. Lock down AP and let Patterson destroy us. Wide open receivers for interceptions. D was no where to be seen.

The best was the Raiders. My god.

Ditto.

This. But in terms of games, the Chargers game made me irate.

 

[jrry32]

Yeah, damn those refs for giving us 21 unanswered points.

Well...

Not that the Rams didn't deserve to pay for the blown coverage but watch Doug Free and Kendall Langford right before Romo releases the ball. One of the most blatant holds I've ever seen.

Thats not holding...

 

[den-the-coach]

Thats not holding...

It's only holding if the Rams are doing that on the offensive end.

 

[Moostache]

SD. The vibe was real at Qualcomm because everyone knew the W was right there a few yards away, And like that, it was snatched right out our hands.

Jesus....look at how open Cunningham was on that play!!!! He was easily in for the game winner if only....story of the Rams = "if only"...

The Cowboys game was unforgivable to me....21-0 leads should NEVER be blown, EVER!!

 

[SaneRamsFan]

By far Giants. Beat downs at home against not good teams are the worst. Than watching Jenkins mouthing like they were winning made me want to throw up. Sorry I call it like I see it. Guy has the most talent but I like the least.

You're right. That's the reason y'all lost the game. Better call Goodell.

 

[RAGRam]

You're right. That's the reason y'all lost the game. Better call Goodell.

Yeah I'm sure being able to illegally block for an extra second on a TD pass in a one TD game had zero impact on the outcome of the game. And I'm sure that if a ref was able to miss that call it's the only one they got wrong all day and wasn't a sign of systematic bias.

Hey this sarcasm thing is fun .

 

[Mike]

Charger game. I was there with my kids. Humiliating.

 

[jrry32]

Final Score: 34-31

That play resulted in 7 points for Dallas.

So yes, that play literally is the difference between winning and losing the game. Is it the SOLE reason the Rams lost? No. But lets not act like that wasn't a clear hold on a TD in a game Dallas barely won.

There were other reasons we lost that game...such as Jared Cook dropping a walk in TD and Austin Davis falling apart (as he did all year) in the 4th quarter in crunch time.

That all said, it's going to be hard for a Cowboy fan to deny that your team didn't get away with a lot of holding last year. Like Seattle does with their DBs, Bill Callahan is quite good at instructing his OLs how to hold and get away with it. And they do it incredibly often. They basically dare the refs to make the call. And the refs don't. It's the same philosophy that Seattle has with their DBs (as I said earlier).

And why would I call Goodell? He's probably on the Cowboys' party bus with Dean Blandino.

Dallas. Shattered my remote in half after that bull shit. That win would have been peachy. Had them down 21-0 I thought it would be one of those sweet Cowboy meltdowns, like the one in 2008 against us. All that fucking non sense calls. That was so criminal it was ridiculous. That was a game truly stolen from the Rams by incompetent officials. I still haven't got a new remote, I have to get up and change the channel becuase I'm too lazy and will never get over that butt fuck.

 

[RhodyRams]

Dallas game gets my vote.. but if allowed I would also pick the Charger game

 

[PARAM]

The Chargers game without a doubt. The loss to the Cowboys was bad but it was early. The Chargers loss, despite the "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" way it happened, came in the midst of what could have been a 4 game win streak and a stretch where we could have gone 5-1. Hell who knows if pulling out that game in San Diego and sustaining a nice win streak might have had an effect on the Arizona game?

Exactly. The Chargers loss came after we appeared to have "found ourselves" during a hot stretch and officially ended our playoff hopes. It was the nail in the coffin. Winning that game would have kept the momentum and might have made a difference later on.(probably not but you never know)
