Yes. When a prize-fighter gets knocked down, he gets up and keeps fighting, as our team will. We as True Fans have an obligation to support OUR Team through 'Good and Bad Times!!Can you blame us?

I know it sounds crazy. But it's been done before. The 2002 Jets made the playoffs after starting 2-5 and ended up going 7-2 to end up 9-7 on the year. That was Herm Edwards famous "you play to win the game" rant.

Looking at our remaining schedule, we need wins vs: 49ers, Cardinals(2x), Raiders, Redskins, Giants and an upset vs either the Broncos, Chargers and Seahawks. I think that's the way we would do it if it were to happen. It sounds impossible from the way we are playing and all the injuries and us being the Rams. But I haven't given up hope. Let's go Rams!
I always support the Rams. This has nothing to do with support. This is all about my attitude on Sunday. If they win I am happy. If that lose I am not too angry because I expect it. It is a completely rational position. This team has given me no reason to be anything other than rational.Yes. When a prize-fighter gets knocked down, he gets up and keeps fighting, as our team will.

Happy Lloyd Xmas...Someone needs to post a pic of Jim Carrey from Dumb and dumber saying "So, you're saying theres a chance?"

So people who don't agree with your position are unreasonable and have a sense of unfounded optimism.It is not going to happen. Sorry. Unreasonable expectations coupled with unfounded optimism only leads to anger and disillusionment. It is much easier to expect the likely and then be pleasantly surprised when the team exceeds expectations.
The ONLY crumbling I see is in the Faith of some Rams Fans!!
Now I see why you picked the name "Junkman" When your wrong you go all the way!! "..needed 2 trick play.." "injuries didn't start piling up until after the out come was no longer in doubt.."?At 70 years old, you might want to get your eyeglasses prescription checked. If you don't see the Rams crumbling, you are blind!
Compare:
- Seattle gets bitch slapped for the first half, fighting penalties and injuries and losing Harvin... and they still fight back to almost take the game from the Rams. The Rams need 2 trick special teams plays, a great return and a fortuitous bounce to finally topple them.
- The Rams at KC? An INT, a missed FG, a kickoff return for a TD, and they crumble into a ball and die a miserable 34-7 death. (the injuries started piling up after the outcome was no longer in doubt).
2 very close wins + one close loss + 4 blowout losses = a really bad 2-5 team.
Injuries to Bradford, Long, Long and painful to watch regression on D with have doomed this season. I almost hate to throw Brian Quick onto the pile of Rams injuries that have doomed this season, that if our season depended on Brian Quick, we were in serious trouble before the season began.
Bradford's inability to stay healthy make our long term QB situation cloudy at best. With a healthy Bradford and an emerging D, this team had a promising future. Now? What are we looking forward to for this great improvement? 2015 draft? A new coaching regime? This is starting to feel like the Rams 2009.
Question is - why isn't your faith in the Rams crumbling? What do you see that gives you faith?
The real question is why do you take time out of your day to put down people who are trying to cheer on their favorite team? Obviously this season isn't looking good. Yet as a fan I will go into every game with the belief we will win and cheer my heart out. Otherwise, why watch? Just to log on to some message board and say "I told ya so"? Is that fun for you? You cant be afraid to be let down. If you must keep your expectations low to avoid disappointment that's on you, but it doesn't mean we all have to do the same.At 70 years old, you might want to get your eyeglasses prescription checked.

There is a big difference between coming on to have constructive talks about whats going wrong with the rams and what they should do in the future and just blatantly putting people down who are trying to remain POSITIVE and ENJOY watching their favorite team. You my friend are coming off as the latter.
All these posts say to me is that you're afraid to be let down by the rams so you have to watch the game expecting disappointment so if they lose it wont be as bad. And that you are more concerned with being right and rubbing it in others faces than you are being a fan of the St. Louis Rams.

Don't place your MO onto others. It may be easier for YOU but don't try to speak for the rest of us.It is not going to happen. Sorry. Unreasonable expectations coupled with unfounded optimism only leads to anger and disillusionment. It is much easier to expect the likely and then be pleasantly surprised when the team exceeds expectations.
And that hurts you how? Frankly, I am tired of this realism crap. We are fans. Don't piss on someone else's optimism because you don't buy in. It's really pretty simple.That is called honesty. Thinking the Rams are winning a bunch of games the rest of the year is whistling in the dark.
