Last year I was in the same mindset as McVay

[FrantikRam]

and I'm not doing it again. I'm not. McVay talked this offseason about the "Super Bowl or bust" mindset (not those words, but basically how he wouldn't be happy unless we won).

We are not going to win the Super Bowl this year. The odds are against us to even make the playoffs - I believe that will happen, but if it doesn't, that's okay.

I am going to enjoy this season, whether we win 3 games or 14. I am going to enjoy watching what could be Donald's last season. I'm going to enjoy watching the development of the young players on our team - Durant, Young, Jones, Turner and the rest of the young secondary. Tutu, Van, Cam, Puca on offense and what could be Stafford's last season.

I will NOT spend what could be our greatest player in Rams history and one of only two Super Bowl winning QBs potentially last seasons with anything other than appreciation, knowing this could be it.

And above all else - if things do go sideways - I'm going to remember that we have cap space and our first, second and third round picks next season.

Yeah I'm pretty much the same way all though I fully expect Stafford and AD to play next year too. And I think playoffs are very possible if we remain relatively healthy but yeah I don't have delusions of a Super Bowl with as young our roster is unless a LOT of things fall our way.

But I feel we have a lot of really good talent in the rookie-3 year experience players and am really looking forward to watching them play and develop this year. The only thing that would bring me down is if we have an injury disaster of a year like last season. As long as our players can stay healthy and gain experience/develop I'll enjoy this season whatever it brings record wise.

If the Oline sucks and Stafford goes down, i will loose most of my motivation to watch. Other wise i am looking forward to watching how this season progresses.

Whatever they do, I will still watch every game. It could be just to see which of the youngsters has potential to contribute next year. It would be nice if they're still contending in December. At my age what else am I gonna do on a winter Sunday afternoon?

Pretty much. If the OL is solid and can spring Akers consistently, it puts us in every game.

I don’t know what Rams W/L record will be, but I do know one thing.

Rams will be a scrappy and entertaining team this year.

Welcome to my mindset from January.

 

[I like Rams]

I watched every game last season, even though I knew the train was derailing. Just gotta lower your standards. Hell, the Raiders game last season was a fucking AWESOME game. I was screaming like we won the super bowl again. Just gotta put shit in context and realize next year we have a alot of cap space and possibly a top pick.
