On this Thursday night game it seems the only fan base that crapped the bed for their potential final home game was St Louis. Both Oakland and San Diego sold out theirs. Pretty telling.

Both cities actually love their team - as opposed to just having a handful of fantatics who post on a message board and the general public in the city doesn't actually care about the team.

Both Oakland and San Diego have had good attendance this year. The Raiders' fan commercial at the beginning of the game was awesome - those are amazing fans even though their team has sucked for years as well.

Great game - look at that full stadium and all of those Oakland Raider fans. Great words by Woodsen. It will be a travesty if the NFL let's that team leave just to keep StL who doesn't even support their team.

I so wish I could go to a Rams game with fans that excited, even for their losing team.

San Diego- packed stadium. Fans out in their glory rooting for the team with the idea that it may be the last time they'd see them
Oakland- packed stadium. Fans out in their glory rooting for the team with the idea that it may be the last time they'd see them
St Louis- Stadium filled about 1/3 of the way. Was awfully quiet. Fans boo the owner and cheer for some guy who has put togehter a mediocre stadium design that will replace the mediocre stadium that caused the Rams to hit the eject button in the first place

Its liek watching a parallel universe

I actually think the Rams have a shot in this game. They always play the SeaChickens close. It will take a couple of big plays to get it done on the road though. Maybe a punt or kick return for a TD and some turnovers.

The SeaChickens missing Baldwin or Okung will be huge. They're already on RB #3 or #4 with a poor O-line. Subtract both of those players and Wilson doesn't have many options or time. The Rams have been good at keeping him in containment and sacking him in the past. They stopped Rodgers INT streak at home earlier this year. I can see them ending Wilson's latest run the past few weeks.

Let's Go Rams!

Rams have a shot. However, it's a really slim one and they need to get on it from the start. They can't be slow, unmotivated or sloppy. Any of that at the beginning - and it's over.

As Snackdaddy pointed out on page 1 - they will stack the box against Gurley and dare Keenum to make plays. Can he make them? Can the team help him make them?

I kind of feel like this game is similar to the Giants / Panthers game from last week. When O Beckam dropped that long TD pass to him at the beginning - the game changed. He went all fighting immature crazy and couldn't keep his cool or recover himself. If he had caught that ball, the Giants would've had huge momentem and confidence and might've taken that for the win. Our boys are just as immature, and easily fall into that chippy fighting mode.

Go Rams!

Good point. Perhaps even more so being the youngin's they are and the nature of our style of play.

The injury report might level the playing field some.. Let's also see how well our 'boys' do against that 12 man. If they take it all on, they may have earned their rights of passage. Passage to LA
