True. I think the record is a coincidence. Just made some bad plays in close games. Yeah, Philly fans were loud, but I think the Ram contingent will be strong in the post.
agreed every one of those game were close and i would argue we could and should have won all three the philly game just pissed me off
Most die hard LA Rams fans are 40-70 years old. The Fearsome Foursome, Jack Youngblood, Eric Dickerson type fans. Many stuck with the team during the STL years but most abandoned the Rams when they left. These are your primary season ticket holders at the Coliseum, as the nostalgia is enough to overlook the antiquated stadium. Then you have people in their 20's-30's who grew up without a team and either formed other allegiances or consumed the NFL in different ways. Many of these fans are on the fence about the Rams but with an improving product and a new stadium coming, there are new converts every day. Seeing a lot more Rams gear and "we" talk in the community which is good. Businesses, celebrities and other folks with big money will latch on in Inglewood. Finally, you have children 10 and under (no pedo) who will grow up with this team and will re-establish the long term fan base. I have no doubt the Rams will be a success again in Los Angeles. The Chargers will be a monetary success but will essentially be the Clippers of the NFL in LA. I'm looking forward to the playoffs and seeing what this team can do.
Rams tanked today but so did the Saints. Rams hang onto 3 seed and have to play on the road in Minnesota if they beat Atlanta in the WC round. Not ideal. Would've rather played Philadelphia. Sam FarmerVerified account@LATimesfarmer 49m49 minutes ago Whoever is holding that 4 seed could have a Disneyland fastpass. If the Rams get through Minnesota, though, they could host an NFC championship game. Rams season ticket holders sold all their tickets today...would hope a playoff game will be different.

Yeah, injuries happen but it's never a good idea to throw games or fuck with winning mojo. Kinda like putting AGon back in the lineup.
Yeah the whole idea of 'resting the starters' is overused these days But... if we THUMP next weekend we'll both be grinning
Rams open as a 6 point favorite over the Falcons. Reasonable line, being that it's a 1st playoff appearance for the head coach and QB.
