The crowd got pretty quiet as the 1st half went along. Had we stepped on their throats instead of acting like the game was in hand, they would have left by the end of the 3rd.

Instead we grabbed our ankles in the 2nd half and will likely have to deal with the same rabid crowd next year.... And so on, until this team can grow a pair and stop getting bitchslapped by these assholes.

One of the questions that needs to be asked is does Mr Kroenke care what color the jerseys in the seats of his stadium are? If he does nobody has more potential to affect that than his team. Come up with a creative marketing plan that converts all those people wearing brand new swag into in stadium fans. Programs and promotions to inject interest in the stadium experience. After you get them there through your own in house promotions they may then start affecting the secondary market.
Maybe cut prices for season Ticket holders

Yup, them whiner bitches always give up and leave early when there's no hope. Even emptying their own Santa Clara stadium, reverting into the fortywhiner faithless we've always known them to be. Problem was the Rams gave them hope.

Selective shots like this are just unfair. Maybe confirmation bias.

Go here and closely look at all the sections and see the truth. We’re there many Whiner fans there? Yes! Did they out number Rams fans. Not even close.

Thanks for posting agree with what you said; the national narrative wont like this but hey the media just runs with stories; whatever its over.

FWIW I took a look at the fan cam from when we played AZ (I was at that game) and I really hope that's how it will be on MNF, almost zero red in the stands. Hopefully Rams fans show out next Monday; but I do understand people work and that's a 5PM Local start time on a work day....

Go RAMS!!!

Cursory scan of the sections on fancam, I'm seeing 2 to 1 - Red vs non-Red. Maybe more.
Fuck it. It is what it is - - A takeover. With "home field advantage" definitely in favor of the 9ers in the second half.

And that's ok. First time seeing Sofi and any fan in their right mind within reasonable travel distance probably secured those tickets months in advance (as other posters here pointed out)

I want the 9ers again in the championship game. And honestly, I don't want a Super Bowl berth any other way.
Fuck every other outcome.
Fuck home field advantage.
Neo and Agent Smith time.

We are the good guys.
Go Rams!

My cursory scan tells a different story.

interesting. I was there and the stadium was not 70% red. Not even close to that.

Really a tough time slot with a weeks notice. Flying in for the games with a full time gig made us pass at first. Then after some creative thinking we figured out how to make it work. Tuesday is going to suck but maybe trudge thru it with a victory high.

Yeah, looking at that didn't help the cause I don't think. The only sections that seemed to be less red were the ones with a lot of empty seats and some suite sections.

Fans definitely have games they avoid. Like games they think they will lose. The 9ers beat our asses so bad in the first game this year that many probably deceded to take that weekend off.

Either way the team could help that out. Advertise more to get people off their asses and into the stadium. Playing more competitive ball. And so on. Hopefully the advertising is a push with this home playoff game. I don't want to see our boys running silent count at home.

Heres my cursory scan results: images tell the same story as our offense using a silent count at home.
Same exact story.
I shared an image a fan shared. Feel free to share any images that refute that.

Some of you are just too focused on seeing red. Doesn’t matter what is shown or presented.

One of the questions that needs to be asked is does Mr Kroenke care what color the jerseys in the seats of his stadium are?
Jerry Jones said on the radio the other day he wants a record attendance for our game on Sunday. I can tell you for SURE he does NOT give a fuck who fills those seats. Making money is his #1 priority over winning football. Also, the winning part has to be done HIS way where HE gets the credit.

I don't know much about Kroenke. Doesn't he own Manchester United? I'd imagine he probably doesn't care that much. Billionaires care about making money. They obsess over it.

He owns Arsenal, the Nuggets and the Avalanche along with the Rams. I think he cares less about Football than Jerry so who knows. He has done a good job facilitating success for the Rams. He has a lot invested though so long term we will see what his commitment is

At the very least Kroenke has turned the Rams over to some real football guys, they run the club I believe without outside interference, unlike Dallas, who has a very hands on Jerry Jones...

It was like that in the 80s at Anaheim with whiner fans showing up and being heard. I don't remember the Rams having go to a silent count (that's really fucking embarrassing) but a lot were there (f'ing bandwagoners) back then way before the 90's and you could hear the cheering part.

I was at a game in Anaheim in the early '80s against the Whiners. I couldn't believe how their fans came down in busloads and took over the bars right by the Big A before the game. They were getting drunk and loud while singing a Whiners song but, not an official one. It was night and day compared to Rams fans being laid back.

During my years in SoCal in the 80's, the Rams didn't seem to excite the local population like the Dodgers, Angels and Lakers.

Too many factors now for the Rams to get home-field advantage. The demand econoimics makes it hard for locals not to sell some tickets and others hard to justify the cost.

SoCal is much more baseball and basketball market.

Jerry needs to take a page from his book. But how "long term" is this investment? Don't y'all NOT have a first round pick for the next 10 years? lol
