What makes the terrible play of Nick Foles even tougher to swallow is that it's very possible our defense will not be quite as great next season, due to most likely losing 2 or 3 key starters because of $$$.
It was Right now! This year! ... that we needed to have at least an average offense. With an average offense we'd be playoff bound for sure. But we have a far far far far below average offense and so we are the usual .500 team under Fisher. (well, to be honest he's been around .400 winning percentage with our Rams)
So it's really sad we're missing this window of opportunity regarding this defense. Even IF in a year or two we get a decent QB and Receiver, by that time, most likely our defense will have fallen back to the middle of the pack in the league, no longer able to keep teams at low scores. This year was our chance and it's just not going to happen. Nick Foles cannot get us there this year. I'm certain of it.
Yes some of you are going to call me "not a fan" because "i don't believe in the team" but I'm just being realistic. I look at Jeff Fisher and his refusal to care about the passing offense, or to care about having a quality OC on staff. I look at Nick Foles deer in headlights look on his face game in and game out. I look at 4 long years completely wasted on Brian Quick. I look at years wasted on Jared Cook. I look at Greg Robinson the turnstile who we used pick #2 on, and so I'm just being realistic. We won't get to the playoffs this year.
And it's all a terrible, horrible, heart wrenching feeling knowing that this great defense is being wasted.
Call me what you want, but most of you agree with me deep down.
I love my Rams and will continue to root for them but I'm realistic with what I'm seeing. I refuse to say "were such a young team" as an excuse.
