Not in the Rams themselves, per se... but in the mostly 'unspoken' hope and belief from the Herd that something, that we perhaps can't quite put our finger on, has changed.
In '99 I very early on was convinced the Ram's were not simply just playing good football but were, in fact, playing great football. I wasn't all that vocal about it, as I think none of us were... but you could feel it in the air.
This year I don't see the 'greatness', (YET), but I see the 'change' we've been hoping for... and I can 'feel it in the air' from others as well.
