.........is knowing just how difficult it is to just make it to a Super Bowl....so many things have to go right for you....minimal injuries, the ball bouncing your way,
calls going your way. So when you actually make it there, it's crushing to lose because you never know when you're going to get back.
We were all thinking we would be in for a string of Super Bowl appearances during the GSOT years....and here it is 17 years later since the last Rams Super Bowl.
The Rams are saying all the right things: "We'll be back"....just like every team who plays in a Super Bowl...especially the losers.....but the Rams could actually have better teams in the next few years and still not make it back to a Super Bowl due to the luck factor.
That's depressing... and it's why it's so devastating to miss out on a championship when you have the opportunity.
Fortunately there's a lot to be optimistic about... a smart young coach and GM, and a talented roster...so hopefully the Rams next Super Bowl appearance will be a lot sooner than 17 years.
