The Dante Muff

Say what you want, Bulger fumbled, Holt fumbled. Yes and that would be true. And though that cannot be excused, they didn't entirely cost us the game.

For once in years, a young and somewhat inexperienced defense finally did it's job. Finally played with fire, finally played admirably. They stood out and close to the end, simply were winning the game.

Until of course when Dante Hall muffed the punt late in the 4th quarter. This was the key and truly only key play of the whole game that gave the game to the 9ers. Without that muff the 9ers would never have taken the lead and forced Wilkins into a "hero's role".

Just ask the 9ers...it doesn't matter how ugly you win, just as long as you win and to that point we were winning the game and could have been the ones walking away with the ugly win. Instead we're stuck with a heartbreak loss.

As heartbreaking as this loss was and putting us in last, I find it hard to believe that we should jump onto the train that's leaving town and throwing in the towel proclaiming the end of the season isn't near but is here. If other Rams fans want to jump on that speeding train leaving Rams Nation, fine but you won't find me on it. I plan to stick it out to the end.

GO RAMS!
