I'm starting to lose all faith in the Rams as a fan. I think being a Cards fan has spoiled me or something. I just feel like they should have turned it around by now and at least had one over .500 season in the last couple years but nah, they haven't been 8-8 or above since 2006.
They never found a suitable replacement for Orlando Pace when he went south in 2007, and that caused Marc Bulger to fall apart and never recover from that, too. It also helps that they've missed on drafting a #1 receiver in that time, too, not that Tavon Austin isn't good. I just see him as a #2 or #3 to better talent. Just think how the team wasted Steven Jackson's whole career. It's sad.
All things are relative. The Cards are great, the Blues are good until the playoffs, and the Rams are a failure that somehow won it all once and nearly won it all a second time until they were cheated by the Pats with all that holding. Yeah, I'll never get over that one. I was 21 the last time they were over .500. 21. I'll be hitting the early part of my mid-30s by the end of next month. Jeez.
Okay, forget how bad the Rams are for a moment. That Ravens/Browns game was awesome for how ridiculous it got near the end. The Browns had a potential game-winning field goal blocked as time expired, but the Ravens picked that ball up and ran it to the end zone for their own game-winning score.

I love the crowd in this post-game show. They are just going at it with the anti-Kroenke chants. He's the Rams owner for those that don't know. Also, nice to see the Rams win when they're all but eliminated from postseason contention. Still, I'd rather see that than them lose out.
The Falcons beat the previously undefeated Panthers. The Rams beat the Seahawks in Seattle for the first time since the last time they made the playoffs (2004). What is going on here?
