    Yeah, and watched my first Rams game at the Colisseum when James Harris was QB.

    My grandma took me to Rams camp in June of 1977 at CSUF where the team did their training. Met Jim & Jack Youngblood, Carl Ekerns ... and a backup QB named Namath ...

    Anyway ... when they left SoCal, I decided to cut bait. Y'all are way more devoted to them than I am, but as others said here, I've followed them some & was glad to see them thrive in StL under Vermeil, Martz & Warner ...

    Reading about book right now called Badasses ...

    ... so far, so good. If you're into Madden's Raider era, this is your read.

    At least they finished the game strong, and I think the W let's them face Carolina instead of PHI next week. Better not lose to them twice in one season.

    i just don't get how wide open guys are getting in that secondary coverage
    then again they were doing the same in the Pit/Bal game last night
    that was a crazy game

    Hopefully Quinton Lake returning will help the secondary. Ram corners are terrible. They're cooked if they don't get a strong pass rush from the front four.

    Rams screwed themselves down the stretch run and now have to play on the road today, possibly in the rain instead of at home.

    Nonetheless, they're facing a team with more losses than wins, plus owe them payback for earlier in the season. They need a convincing win to build some momentum.

    Absolutely pathetic defense on that drive. Plus Rams should've taken the FG. Instead of a likely 13 point lead it's 3.

    Rams about to lose a playoff game to a sub .500 team.

    They pulled it out. But the win gives me no confidence for next week. Credit to Stafford for another game winning drive.

    They better figure out how to clean up the penalties.

    Funny thing they are among the least penalized team in the game. No way they beat any of the other remaining playoff teams with that many penalties.

    @fsudog21 & I recall about thag mindset.

    Lose because the other team beat you; beat yourself & you deserve to lose.

    Same in baseball - stop walking hitters. Same thing.

    Frustrating to see professionals making fundamental errors.
