…I guess it’s more with the guys over at the PD website. The level of criticism there is off the charts, so I guess that when I sense even a whiff of it anywhere I might go off. I also read a comment on the daily norseman that said that were less optimistic than Lions fans were last season, which I don’t believe. I’ll confess however, that after last weeks game (which I drove to from Los Angeles), I was throwing out some sarcastic sneers at my team, but in the privacy of my car talking to my girlfriend. I was berated and heckled all day by drunk 49er fans, and I kept praying for my Rams to do something to make me say “(bleep) you!” to all of them, and they would respond with a Kyle Boller cross-field pick-six or a Danny Amendola fumble. It hurt. I’m hurting, and I was so mad driving home that day. But I also think some people, mainly on the PD website, have absolutely no hope/faith in this team, and it makes us look like bad fans. I know you guys wouldn’t be here if you didn’t care, and I guess I just prefer to be a little more upbeat (ala Spagnuolo) in the face of a rough stretch. I know different people handle the pain a little differently, it’s just hard to tell whether it’s support or criticism sometimes. The season is young and, I actually feel the Rams have competed well before the boneheadness of their own mistakes caused their doom. Our D was stout in the first half. Candlestick park was full of frowns/groans for 2 quarters of scoreless play until OUR mistake gave them their first score. I see progress in this team and I think they can do well by season’s end.

On a lighter note, YES!!! I am looking forward to the throwbacks! I really hope it inspires the guys to play winning football. I hope S-jax has a Marshall Faulk type game; 125 rsh yards, 50 rec yards, 2-3 tds. :)

Go RAMS!!!
