Five Interceptions and Another Degrading Loss

With not many players left on the team that most people in the NFL have even heard of, the Rams went into Baltimore with a defense that wanted a win but an offense that shot itself in the foot nearly every time Frerotte touched the ball.

Whine and complain all you want about the team as a whole but this one falls completely on the shoulders of Gus Frerotte. Five interceptions at any level of football is unacceptable and inexcusable. And let's not forget the one lost fumble.

The Rams were credited with six turnovers all of which came from the not so nifty hands of Frerotte.

Frerotte had to be the loneliest player on the flight out of Baltimore and he has no one to blame but himself.

The saddest part of all of this is that despite all the adversity the Rams defense never gave up always giving it over to the offense with good possibilities to score yet nothing but failure came of it.

The players on this team must be, at this point in time completely demoralized and lacking in any faith in one another, especially the offense that is filled with talent that either is racked by injuries or simply not being implemented in the proper scheme of things.

How much longer can this team hold onto such a thin thread before they turn on each other? The coaching staff needs to act fast to motivate them or not only will the season be a total loss but relationships within the team will be shattered beyond repair.

Note: And to you sportswriters out there that think it's so painful to be forced to watch the entire Rams game and then have to confront fans and then have to write on the game....stop your damn whining, at least you get paid to do it. It's your job!

This amateur writer doesn't care about your pain.....try doing this because you love the team not because you're paid to do it! And then tell me how painful it is!
