Losing This One

Just didn't quite feel the same as all the other, often times embarrassing losses this year.

In fact this game actually gave us hope. The Rams had us believing again that they could win, that they had improved. Even down to the last few seconds they had us believing they could pull it off.

Of course it didn't happen and it really wasn't expected that we would against a team that is almost the equivalent of the long gone Greatest Show. But they did however; play much improved football where even they believed they could win.

OK, so it was only a moral victory, but it was a type of moral victory that this young team can feed off of. I guess you could say it was a win within a loss.

I hope that this positive trend will continue throughout the season and help them build a brighter and more successful season in 2010.

GO RAMS!

P.S. Bulger still has to go.

We Won, We Won, We Won!

Funny though, doesn't feel as good as I thought it might feel.

Maybe, it's because the same glaring problems still exist and beating our counterparts, the Detroit Lions simply made you realize just how glaring those problems are.

I'm glad we won, I'm glad we're not headed for 0-16, because had we not beat the Lions, that's where we'd be going. It's just that winning one game doesn't take away the following facts:

Bulger just stinks it up. You can make all the excuses you want to make, bad offensive line, still learning Spags' offense, whatever. None of the changes the fact that the man sucks it up as a quarterback. Even Josh Brown can throw for a longer pass that ends in a touchdown! All Bulger can do is throw INT's in the red zone.

We have no true wide receivers that stand out as being well, really good. With all the injuries that Avery has had, he's not beem able to prove anything except that he's a walking accident waiting to happen.

Pat Shurmur still has miles to go before his offensive scheme will be a threat to anyone, but then his cast of characters aren't anything to write home about either. But still you'd think Bulger could do something with it, it doesn't look too complicated that's for sure.

The only true talent to this very day that we have on offense is Steven Jackson. Even those who seemed to always find a reason not to like Jackson are now beginning to appreciate the talent this young man brings to the team. And heart, no one should ever question his heart. Jackson is a true leader and he's doing it without any help whatsoever. Reminiscent of the days when the great Barry Sanders played for a Lions team that had the worst offensive line in the NFL for the entire time Sanders played the game.

Yes, it was great to finally get a "W" in the win/loss column but somehow it's bitter sweet knowing that it might be the last one we get for the rest of the season.

Just Close the Coffin On This One

End the misery already will you?

I tried drinking the kool aid that GeezerRam is drinking but just tastes too bitter to me to even swallow. Guess he forgot to put the sugar in it. (just kidding with you Geezer)

Seriously though, it's a tough season to digest, just when you thought that last year was the worst, this year comes around and slaps you right back into reality.

Only thing to hope for is no wins and get the #1 pick.

Oops, wait a minute, this is the Rams drafting isn't it?

GO RAMS
