How the Rams can turn around a very disappointing season and finish strong - by Derp Magoo
After choosing Tavon Atwell with a super high pick that should have been used to draft Apollo Creed, the Rams season was over before it began - just as many amateur experts predicted within seconds of the Rams selection.
With only three 6th round draft picks and already over the cap for the next 10 seasons after going "all in" this year, the Rams Super Bowl window has been slammed shut, locked and barred over like a ghetto liquor store window. Now that all is lost and there is no hope for the future, there is nothing to play for.
After consecutive losses the playoffs are clearly out of the question but if Sean McVeigh would just blow up his staff mid-season and listen to us fans, the Rams could maybe finish this season with a moral victory. As we all know, a win is a win and a moral victory is just as good the real thing...
Maybe it's about unrealistic expectations or maybe we've convinced ourselves that real championship contenders never have weaknesses or losing streaks, but I find it crazy that this fanbase could be so frustrated after a 7 and 3 start.
Not to be cliche but it's really not about how they start... and this season especially, with so many new key pieces being implemented - the goal is to hang around in the standings and then peak late. Well, we're at least as capable of doing that as any other team. There's a lot of good football left in this team and most of their biggest issues are correctable.
A lot of great Rams fans never got to experience the McSnead era - I think they would tell us to enjoy it, soak it up and in the spirit of Thanksgiving, to be grateful for the team we've got.
Go Rams!!!
