I'm a jinx

That one hurts-I'm feeling like a jinx/a curse. Had to go into work around halftime and was unable to watch any of the second half until....that very last play. Was chastising myself for sitting down to watch it after THAT happened. Lets get all these 'boinks and doinnks' and broken bones out of the system this lost year, and get all the breaks next year. This second half of the season has life in it - no more going through the motions like some of the later 1st season half games

The 'Unstylish W'

Still counts the same in the standings. There have been enough ugly ones get away from the Rams (and not just this year) that it was about time we got to tuck a turkey in the win column. We will all be concerned about the Oline, and about Marc's protection by them, but lets just savor the win now. Hats off to OJ and Will in particular, and Coach Haslett and the defense in general. This team has been through the wringer and is showing some spunk. Some of those teams we lost to earlier are turning out to be better than expected (see Cleveland and Tampa Bay), but all that is behind us. Turn to the old cliche (old but true) to look ahead and take them one game at a time.

Can we all say 'Hallelujah'??

A real pleasant surprise happened yesterday. Marc looked like the Marc we've come to expect, and the o-line gave him some time to execute the game plan instead of having opposing d-linemen in his grill all afternoon. Nice work and nice game planning were evident also, though they let up on the gas too soon on defense.

Thought it was a great gesture for Marc to give Coach Linehan a game ball also. Linehan has had a tough go - I want to see the Rams win as much as the next guy, but I thought it was downright embarasing to hear the vitriol being spewed at him as he walked to the locker room after the Browns game. I wasnt there to hear it, but one of the St Louis stations played a good 20-30 seconds of people screaming at him-thank goodness it was unintelligible, but I'm pretty sure from the tone they were'nt saying 'have a nice day, Scott, get 'em next game'. I sincerely hope we all just saw a page turned and we'll see a Rams team the rest of the year close to what we were expecting.

Every aspect was clicking, and lets keep it ticking from here on out.

Go Rams!
