Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive;
plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live.
When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory.
-- Sun Tzu
Apparently Jeff Fisher didn't want the league to take notice, and he didn't want his players to learn how to celebrate prematurely. His calm and cool demeanor on the sidelines during what appeared to be a straight up drubbing was all part of his master plan.
Humble. Stay humble. Learn how to deal with adversity and then you can drink from the chalice of victory.
I don't expect the Rams to win a single game during preseason (unless by mistake), and that's fine with me now that I've deciphered his tactics. Game plan? For what? For a preseason record that puts them in the black? Psh. Now the happy embrace at the end of the game with Chuck Pagano makes sense.
"Thanks for that, Chuck. You did us a favor, and you played right into my hands."
"Huh?"
"Never mind. You'll understand when you get older. Good luck this year."
10-2 the last three years during the preseason were the Rams. That's a strategy that didn't work. You don't take the Steve Spurrier route and try to demolish your opponents in meaningless games. All that does is puff up the undeserving with pride and give your next 12 opponents (coaches) a blueprint to defeating you.
Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.
-- Also, Sun Tzu.
I hope this post doesn't circulate, because I don't want the other 12 coaches to catch on. But we, here, we should be encouraged by this game and every game afterwards that puts the Rams on the furthest away of the back burners.
Dismiss us.
Ridicule us.
Count us out.
Let the fire burn down.
From the ashes rises the Phoenix.
