The Rams, one year out of being 4-12, were up in the 4th quarter against the consensus best team in the league and after having come back from a 14 point deficit.
As far as I am concerned, they belong at the big boy table just as much as any team in the league. In addition to missing those plays you mentioned, they made numerous great plays against a talented Philly team. And they have made plays and won against New Orleans and Jacksonville, two of the other top teams in the league.
I guess I just am still enjoying being a very good team.
