Kool Aid

I guess I'm still drinking the Kool Aid folks, but with this season going the way it is, I am still hopeful for the Rams future.

What would make me very angry would be if this team was anywhere near this depth of poor performance, and was NOT making moves to turn the fortunes around. I think they have been doing so, and the recent trade with the Eagles is the latest example of that philosophy being in effect.

We should stay the course through this season and next before anyone starts calling for Spags or Billly to be replaced. The cupboard they inherited is embarrassingly short on talented players and it will take time.

If the team doesn't stay the course it will mean starting the same painful course all over again. Band aids and half-fixes will not do at this point, Rams need major rebuilding.

Hanging tough

This Rams team has NO QUIT in them. I love the way they hang in there and slug it out! Unfortunately they are short on talent, and the only remedies for that are longer term fixes. I may be accused of drinking the 'kool aid' but I do feel that once talent is connected with the attitude Spags is bringing to the team, we will see a long run of tough, competitive, contending Rams teams!

Laughingstock

Laughingstock is what the Rams are at present. I don't think its a fair characterization, but until the team starts to win on the field, its going to continue.

Sportswriters and commentators 'pile on' once the ball starts rolling in a fashion that would make Rodney Harrison blush. I was disgusted listening to a couple of schmucks on St Louis radio Sunday evening berated and ridiculed everything about the Rams. Listening to the venom on the airwaves from St Louis at present gives me another reason to appreciate how people like Devaney and Spagnuolo earn a pretty darn good salary!

I wouldn't put up with that load of feces on any job. I still believe these two fellas will get the organization turned around, and am amazed how many media and fans forget how they all were stating the fact that 'this will take a while' when Devaney assumed full authority of personnel decisions, and again when he hired Spags.

Yes the team sucks at present! That is obvious to all of us. The drastic steps which were taken in the offseason were an admission by Chip Rosenbloom that real, permanent, changes needed to be made. The Achilles heels(both of them) are far from or totally removed from the personnel decision 'loop' . It takes time. Its very ugly now, but real, sustained improvement is on the other side of this struggle!

Whew!

I have to admit, this season is looking mighty grim. Another pitiful day for the offense! i do feel that the team plays tough, particularly the defense, but, as has been said already by many commentators, there are far too many critical mistakes on a team whose talent level will not allow for that. I do have confidence in Spags and Billy, and will stay loyal, of course. This is a herculean task those 2 have committed themselves to, and I think they need fan support now more than they ever have or will again! Go Rams!
