I've stood corrected before. Last year they figured it out. This year they look clueless and have a tougher schedule. Stating the obvious is flame-able. Denying reality is just stupid. 16 points per game isn't gonna get it done and they don't have the depth to do one damned thing about it.

Didn't they look clueless to you last year? What's stupid is bailing on the eventual Superbowl Champions and feasting on crow, then bailing even sooner this year. But anybody is entitled to bail and stupid isn't always a choice.

I was making a joke, of course. This board is actually quite nice now that certain elements and their Rams Negativity Police affect has been reined in!

Dude... you've been here for what, a month? In that time, an exceedingly high number of your posts have been dedicated to complaining about the team, complaining about other posters, and giving us your opinion of the board.

I'm going to go out on a limb again and guess you're not really a new poster here.

What does "bailing" even mean here? Going to stop rooting for them? Lose interest and not watch the games? I think it means different things to different people.

I'm going from memory but last year, fivethirtyeight.com put the Rams at 3% chance to win the Super Bowl after no-win November. Today it is 0.8%. Both measurements seem extremely reasonable to me. Is it bailing to say that out loud? Is it unwelcome to say so here? I'm not so sure sometimes.

I wasn't referring to you - that is a no-no here to call out other posters by name! But you did respond, so, well, fine - if you identify with what I wrote, then sure.

Well the title of the thread was appropriate considering the opponent we just faced.
Let's keep in mind our newly installed weekly vent thread. That's were we can go to let our hair down.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions, "new guy."

No, its fine. We just draw the line at personal stuff.
And let's all hope that fivethirtyeight.com is wrong again.

Bailing? I was with the team through the end last season even though they made things extremely tough on themselves. You focus in on the 10% of my comments that indicate something other than blind faith while conveniently missing the 90% that praise progress, good play, and the kind of dedication that 50+ years of fandom has initiated.

The fact that they are making the same mistakes over and over and they are not getting corrected is on Mcvay. I cannot remember a punt getting blocked twice in the same season right up the middle because the long snapper is late to react.
