I was quite disappointed over last night's loss, which is a good feeling because it's been years since I've felt that way. Something about consistently being mediocre to lousy and thinking about the draft in October just saps the feeling from you. I became numb to the losing. They didn't play a game yesterday that represented what they were in 2017, which is why I was disappointed. But such is football and life.
Big picture wise, what a year. People will begin to realize what McVay and co did here. Turned around a terrible product to a very good one by having guys buy into what he was preaching. We've seen others attempt it, and fail miserably here. He's special, as is his staff. Turning Goff, Gurley and the offense around, nothing short of amazing and extremely difficult. This wasn't a veteran team coming off a bad year with prior success. There were novices here without a taste of NFL success.
Now that the Rams have arrived, they have to stay here. Take this thing to the next f'ing level. Let Wade get the pieces he needs on defense to turn a good group into an elite one, which is all he knows about defense. McVay needs to fine tune the offense, get the TEs involved more, get Goff connecting more on some deep throws. We need more depth in the trenches, etc. We'll all get into that later.
I expect these things to happen, and the Rams to be solid for awhile. Nothing this year was a flash in a pan or flukish. Hats off to the gang on a great year.
