That's a fair statement. Frankly I think most of us forget what it's like to cheer on a winning team. I know perspectives get altered and after a while the hope of 9-7 starts to look exciting.
Maybe I'm in the small minority but my opinion on Fisher still isn't fully formed. Maybe it should be. I still respect and thank the guy for taking over the biggest dumpster fire in the league in years and making them competitive. My concern with Fisher is while it's genuinely admirable to take a perennial 1-3 win team and make them a 7 win team that's in most every game they play their ceiling with him just might be 9-7. Frankly if they're not 7-4 or 8-3 in six weeks given their schedule then I'll see them as truly stuck in being that 18th or 19th 'best' team in the league under Fisher they've been since 2012.
Someone also posted in this thread that their three wins are by only 15 points and came down to the final plays. Well, my response to that is that's the NFL. That is what 85% of the games in this league are. The Rams were SO bad from 2007-2011 that they rarely even had losses come down to late in the game. Their doors were blown off weekly... So I don't discount those 3 wins at all. But yes, 3-2 isn't enough.
My criticism of Fisher isn't his philosophy or style or player development. It's things like the lack of discipline and consistent focus that results in being one of the league's most penalized team every year (he doesn't care, that I'm convinced of) and things like dropped passes. He trades off aggression for details. And that I think is a big part of why they're 30-38-1 under him.
