What’s Wrong with the Rams?

Well, they missed the playoffs for the 12th year in a row, so that tells you right there…

The team is in shambles after losing 11 of 12 to close out the regular season, Head Coach Jeff Fisher was fired after five straight losing seasons, number one overall draft pick, Jared Goff, did not live up to expectations and their other option under center, Case Keenum, was not exactly formidable as the Rams tandem posted the second lowest quarterback rating, threw for the second fewest yards and threw the fewest touchdowns in the league. As for the coaching position, the Rams recently hired former Washington Redskins offensive coordinator, Sean McVay. At 30 years old, McVay is now the youngest Head Coach in the NFL.

They also finished third in probably the worst division in football, maybe with the exception of the AFC South, with three teams finishing under .500 and the Seahawks getting ousted in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Plus, the Rams lost to the 49ers twice, who finished the year 2-14. That’s right. Both of the 49ers’ wins came against the Rams…nice job, guys.

But hey, at least the future is bright! Oh wait, it’s not…

The Rams do not have a single first round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the offensive line is atrocious and they still have to wait two more years before moving into their shiny new City of Champions (not this team) Stadium in 2019.

But hey, at least they can still hang with the Seahawks! Oh wait…yeah.

Now that the Rams are gone, who do you root for? The Titans? Bears? Chiefs? Packers? Lions? The possibilities are endless. I would say to root for any of the other 31 teams who happen to be playing the Rams (unless they are playing the Patriots…any of you who remember the Rams’ glory days know exactly what I am talking about).

Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman called Thursday night football a “poopfest.” Yep. A “poopfest.” The “best corner in the league” actually said that.

But hey, at least he was right. Look at who the Seahawks played…

Face it, the NFL is a business, which means owners are out to make money- some more than others (cough, cough, Stan Kroenke). But when the product on the field does not match the dollar signs, fans will not be happy.

But hey, at least us St. Louisans do not have to deal with this product we like to call a “football team,” if you can even call it that…

Oh well, that is LA’s problem to deal with.

Have fun in LA, Lambs!
