Well if you're interested in that consider this.
What is the psychology of magnifying one negative instance and acting as if it were typical when it's not.
That is, how many times this season has the defense caved in the last couple of minutes and given a game away?
It is happened the OTHER way far more often. Like last week, with the Ogletree INT.
Yet people seem to be acting as if this one game was representative of the defense in the final minutes.
Real "count up the actual instances" truth is, it's NOT.
So why are many of us acting like it IS.
...

"ONE negative instance?!"

Have you been watching Fisher's Rams for the last five years?

Fisher's Rams have a long-standing HISTORY of collapsing in games! It's like a sacred tradition under Fisher - whether it be on the offensive or defensive side of the ball, or both!

It happens SO often that I have a phrase for it that I have used to warn newer Rams supporters against complacency over the last several years when we've been watching initially-promising games together. "The Imminent, Inevitable Rams Collapse."

It's not at all funny, mind you - but how anyone who has been paying attention to this team all these years under Fisher hasn't seen it is truly baffling.

This is part of the reason that Fisher's overall winning percentage with the Rams is .426.

That would be 31 wins, 41 losses and 1 tie.

With full control, HIS people coaching, lots of high drafts picks, and FIVE YEARS to correct things and show improvement.

Yet - same result - five years running.

Not great, is it?

But let me guess...there must be an explanation for EVERY single one of those losses that has taken place under Fisher, right? It's NOT HIS FAULT!!

And yes - there is another, more accurate word for "explanation" in this context.

It starts with "E," ends with "S," and has the letters "XCUSE" in between.
