so far.
So many times in the past, during lean years, it felt like the Ram's were headed no where... like going thru the motions but no plan... not even signs that they were on a path leading them to the top again. There was hope, of course, there is always hope... but it felt like an empty hope. Not every lean year was like that, of course, but far too many felt that way... or at least they did to me.
This year is "nothing" like that.... There is hope, as always..... but now, in what appears to anyone with eyes, a true plan and dedication to returning to greatness is tangibly taking place.
I'm so convinced of this that I have not only lost any doubts about it but, and admittedly with a great deal of excitement, I now wonder exactly how long it will take until that plan reaches fruition because that's how I'm reading the trajectory this team is on. Furthermore... I don't think it's going to take as long as many of us, me included, thought it would take.
My head soars when I think of just where this team may be by season's end!
And I say this in full consideration of what took place in the Cinn. game and the 2nd half of yesterday's games. You do not advance up the ladder rungs to the top without at times falling back a rung, or even a couple of rungs. And actually... I consider that OT Winning Drive to have been an astounding leap ahead for a team at this stage of development.
Yup, so far this season is about as exciting and enjoyable as it gets.
