Well just call me rains-on-parades-Ram, coz, I dont really care all that much about which team is best in October. Ya know. Lots of teams were best after six games, and then...ya know. The celebrity-media-types love to hype the "whos best" crap this time of year. Means absolutely nuthin, to me. I prefer to just look at it like this: "the rams are 6-0". Thats it.by wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Well i know nuthin about football, but it looks to me like in this era, what ya need is a defense that can make just enough plays to let yer offense beat their offense. Ya know. A defense that maybe, makes a few game-changin or game-saving plays in the fourth quarter. Anybody know a defense like that? :) I remember the Saints super bowl defense.

There's not a great team in the league this year. So i dont expect any team to win it this year. This will be the first year no-one wins it :) w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Well the first FULL year, i followed was 69. They started 11-0. I'll never forget it. Then they lost 3 regular seasons games in a row and then lost to Joe Kapp, in the snow. I'll never forget that either. I dont really have a point here, except it would be nice to go 7 and 0. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteJamesJM Far more than the board... but the reason for that is probably because my son-in-law and two oldest grandson's are Bronco fans... so through them I'm in touch with the Bronco's and came to believe they are much better than they are given credit for.

QuoteRFL. But the defense. It is impossible to honestly and perceptively dismiss concerns for this defense. It is a major disappointment. The DBs are really frustrating. And the edge is the problem people feared it might be. This defense has got to improve. And that's not picking nits. The D has problems (maybe fatal flaws, who knows), but its also worth noting that they've done well in tby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com

Martz said similar stuff. But the truth is they all fear failure. Lombardi, Shula, Noll, Walsh, etc. Its ok to fear failure :) Its also ok to make a sensible call to go for fourth and inches rather than give the ball back to Russell Wilson. w vby wv ram - RamsFootballFans.com

I agree with all that, RFL. But I'll just add an obvious caveat -- its one thing to have that pinpoint-accuracy-talent when you are not under pressure. Its another thing to make big plays under pressure. Thurs night we saw Goffs incredible pinpoint-accuracy...without pressure.
