What was/is your favorite Rams team??

[badnews]

All of them!!!!!

Go Rams!!!!!

Good point.
It's all those dark years, frustration and bad luck that lights the fire in me for the Rams.
When we're winning, I love it of course, but I probably become slightly less invested.
When they are losing, my attention becomes serious and the joy of a win becomes sweeter than ever...

So while it's the winning seasons that are my "favorite", it's really because of those other seasons..

There are only 2 answers to this for me. The main answer being the current team. That's who I'm rooting for that's my favorite team.

Secondary answer would be the first Rams team I ever watched. The Los Angeles Rams of Super Bowl XIV.

I don't really think much about the teams in between, keeps me from thoughts about preferring a recently released player or how we should have done some move different. Support the guys in the Horns right now and don't worry about the rest IMO.

Actually it's really simple and straight forward.

One of the '73-'79 teams should have won it all. All of these teams lost to either the Cowboys or the Vikings, Aside from the '79 team, we lost 2 NFCCG's to Minnesota and also lost 2 NFCCG's to Dallas.

Those were high and low emotional years to be an LA fan. Rams and Dodgers teams that could have and should have won Championships. Unfortunately, they could not climb the last mountain.

Well, I would have to say the 79 LA Rams just because I was in 8th grade and that Super Bowl team is seared in my head.
Right off the top of my head I will attempt to recite the starting line ups.
Offense: Doug France, Kent Hill, Rich Saul, Dennis Harrah, Jackie Slater, Terry Nelson. Vince Ferragamo, Wendle Tyler, Cullen Bryant. Billy Waddy, Ron Smith.
Defense: Fred Dryer, Larry Brooks, Cody Jones, THE GREAT Jack Youngblood, Jim Younblood, Jack Reynolds, Bob Bruzinski, Rod Perry, Pat Thomas, Nolan Cromwell, Dave Elmendorf,
Frank Corral
Now I did not look any of that up and it was a LONG time ago.
I could not come that close on any other Rams team.
Note, if you look at the Rams rosters back then we had future Pro Bowlers on the bench. Free Agency is the worst thing to ever happen to pro sports. It hurt the Dodgers too.
I liked it when the owners had all the power. 2 houses and 3 Ferrari's is enough for these guys. They do not need 4 houses and 10 big dollar cars.
Tickets would be way cheaper for families. Too much of a semi rich mans deal for live sports these days.

I LOVED the (post bye week) Jeff Fisher Rams... Seems like when he took over the defensive calls which was always after the bye the team had a different energy. Those guys just seem to sack every QB and lay the lumber on EVERYONE.

This team ya'll ..... This team

The 1973 team was pretty cool. It was the first year with the yellow added back to the uniforms, Chuck Knox' first year, and we went 12-2.

Yep. Why I became a Rams fan.

coastal division 1967 bernie casey and billy truax and clancy williams and claude crabb and doug woodlief and tony guillory

That’s the team that I thought of too. Roman Gabriel, Jack Snow, the Fearsome Foursome, Coach Allen. That’s when I became a true Rams fan.

I remember back then seeing college highlights of Dickerson just break long TD runs and me being excited that the Rams drafted him. I listened to their 1st preseason game vs Dallas on the radio and he had like 67 yards and the announcers were praising him saying he looks like a good one. I watched that 1st game vs the Giants, then some of the others that year. Watched the MNF game vs Falcons at the store's electronics dept before starting night shift work. We got about 8 Rams games televised per year in Hawaii. They wouldn't show some of their Sunday games like vs the Saints or Falcons and had Cowboys or Viking games instead. Or just showed 1 NFC game and 2 AFCs. Back then we didn't have access to all games like we do now. On Sundays we'd only get the early and late game from CBS and 1 from NBC, and other Sundays they'd show 2 and 1 the other way. Every week checking the sports pages and TV section to see if we were being shown. Those were the days.

I lived in Hawaii (Lanai and Maui) from 1976 to 1992. I grew up in LA a Rams fan, so was pleasantly to see the Rams were a favorite of many Hawaiians.

I thank some of you for making me feel young.

What is your favorite Rams team and why??

For me it's the 1999 Rams. We ended the whiner's win streak against us by destroying them. Then we go and win the super bowl.

And it ended a decade of futility as the Rams were considered the worst team of the 90's.

And the Kurt Warner story. What could be more sweet than that?

 

[KA210927]

GSOT years. Faulk is easily my favorite ram ever

Hard to top '99, thats for sure.... a remarkable story, a legendary team and not just and end of dark times but the beginning of near-dynastic type run...

....however, for me, irregardless of how next Sunday plays out, this year's Rams team are just about as sweet as any and if they can keep this truly remarkable run going all the way to another Lombardi???
Man... I don't know.....This could be the sweetest Rams team yet.
If they do? I believe the Rams will have played in and won more Superbowls than other team this century - after the Patriots*.

Kind of crazy when you consider how many non-contending seasons we've had over the past 25 years... but we're sitting at 4 appearances and two wins. Let's get #3.

After the 3-6 start, I thought reality was setting in. That we are paying for the super bowl win and F them picks. But now at 10-7, I don't think it's out of the question that the Rams are dark horse SB contenders. We would need a few breaks to go our way but the Rams deserve it.

Yeah I totally believe this team CAN.

If they do - it will be because a lot of things fell our way.... or because Matt Stafford and AD literally just grind their way through it one brutal yard at a time, by their sheer will power alone... ala '21. But most likely it will take both those things and then some....

Crazier things happen all the time

‘99 Rams is why I fell in love with football. Grocery bagger Kurt Warner winning the SB made us all believe we can be destined for more.

Greatest Show on SURF is second. McVay and his offense took the league by storm. After that decade + of losing it was like a fever dream watching the Rams score 30, 40+ every week.

1. I loved the 1989 team and will probably always be my fave. Ellard, Anderson, McGee, Everett, Greene, Slater, Gray, Newberry…
2. 1999 were awesome. Warner, Bruce, Holt, Faulk, Pace, Carter, Fletcher, Lyght…
3. 2021 with Stafford, Kupp, Whitworth, Donald, Ramsey, Gaines, Floyd…
4. 2023 this year has been a massive surprise, the unearthing of Williams, Nacua, Turner, Avila…
5. 2018 with Gurley, Whitworth, Donald, Kupp, Goff, Littleton, Cooks…

Honorable mentions … 2001, 2004
