We're not in the postseason; we merely have an opportunity to get there.
But, this comment is exactly about what I have posted elsewhere. It is now assumed by several here that the Rams are not only good enough to get into the playoffs, but SHOULD get into the playoffs and they would have to screw it up to NOT be in the playoffs. This is a false narrative.
A lot has to have gone right for this team that has somewhat overachieved to be in a position to maybe slide in the back door to the playoff tournament. Now I know that if the Rams don't win the next 2 games, we're going to have some irate posters who feel jilted. Just as we even have a few that are unhappy with the margin of victory in some of the Rams wins.
Temper your expectations or you're going to stop enjoying what the Rams have accomplished in far less time than anyone thought possible. Or as a very famous man from my era once said: "Don't worry! Be happy!"
You make it sound like they just happen to maybe find themselves in the playoffs... I think adjustments were made at the bye, and we now have a pretty dangerous offense. Maybe some things went right, but the ball bounced the other way quite a bit too. Regardless, this team worked pretty hard to get here, and shown everyone they have the tools to get the job done.
I'll be pretty disappointed if they don't win tonight.
