We're not getting any respect?!

I know as Ram's fans there is much hype about the upcoming season based on the pre-season this year. We have the right to be so optimistic this year. After a few years of being the bottom of the barrel, this team looks to be on the rise in the next couple years. The talent, management and coaching is almost as good as the Superbowl years. And maybe even better sooner than later.
What I don't get is the lack of respect from the so-called experts. The writers and broadcasters for the NFL have not given the Ram's any due to what has happened this year. Yeah, we haven't played a game that counts yet. But compared to last year when the Ram's went 3-1 in the pre-season, we have an Offense that can move the ball with a more disiplined line. And while the defense is still a work in progress, there are more players that can be counted on. That means more work for Josh Brown (good thing) and less for Donnie Jones (even better thing).
We'll just have to wait after this weeks game to see if that changes.

The fact is these so called experts pay little to no attention to the teams at the bottom
They, along with most fans of other teams just simply glance at the stats or record without actually watching the games and say this team stinks. Sure we looked pretty good the last 3 games of the preseason but anyone who is not a rams fan could care less about that. The only way we will start getting respect is with wins in the regular season. Rams have a golden opportunity to beat the vulnerable cardinals and send a message out to the rest of the league.
Respect is earned
We gotta earn the respect.
Beating the Cards at home is the first step in gaining some respect.
go Rams!

Im a homer but we did not do anything the past few years to be resected. IMO.

Mike Sando seems to be pretty much in line with my expectations for the team, but regardless of what we say, the rest of the experts won’t truly respect the Rams until they prove it on the field, That’s coming very, very soon.
And even Sando places the Rams at the bottom of the power rankings

I think the Hawks finish at the bottom of the NFC West
49ers (11-5)
Cardinals (8-8)
Rams (6-10)
Seahawks (4-12)
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
I bet this is pretty accurate although we may pull out a couple more
especially if we whip the 49’ers once or twice….lol : )
I think you can go as high as 8
I think the 49ers swing is between 10 and 12 games. I have a tough time seeing the Hawks win more than 6 no matter what—I have no confidence in that team at all.

I think we end up tied for second with Arizona at 7-9
Talk about lack of respect. I was listening to Roger Lodge on AM830 here in SoCal. He had to NFL veterans in the studio they were talking about the matchups for week one and predicting the winners of each game. They predicted every game but overlooked the Rams-Cards game. I guess it wasn’t even important enough to bring up.
Here is another example of lack of respect for the Rams….
omg....what morons (the clip)
really…. that is all they can come up with…. have they looked at our team at all….. I am not psychic but I am 100% confident we don’t loose all 16
