Maybe I'm just a glutton for punishment but despite the horror of Fisher having already signed an extension (I want to know when,BTW), I simply cannot leave the team that I have follow since I was a child. The Rams were the first sports team I rooted for - the heart pumping joy of winning as a sports fan. The Lakers followed, and Dodgers after that, even though I never lived in LA.

When the Rams won the Super Bowl, included in my elation was the fact that no one could take this away from me. The Rams had won the ultimate prize, and all was good. Whether they ever won another or not, we had a super bowl winner. And for that I am eternally grateful.

Fast forward to today, and despite the despair of "more of the same Fisher B.S." I do see changes being made. Yes Fisher has been incompetent (and stupid), but he knows he's on the edge. I still have hope. Hope for a team to buckle up their chinstraps and resolve now that their HC is known. Hope for an OL to start executing better. Hope for a Norv Turner impact as OC next year.

But most of all, hope for one Jared Goff. Even if there's a different OC next year, I see it tweaking the existing system instead of total replacement. If Fosher stays the full 2 year extension, that means that
* Goff got 3 years under his belt of the same system
* Fisher has some level of success (I do believe his leash is hort)
* Special teams and defense continue to have success
* Offense is middle of the pack instead of last in the league

Some of you may say "Hope is not a strategy" and I get it. But I've got my addiction and it is the LosAngeles Rams.
