Reactions to the St. Louis Rams 27-23 last-minute loss to the Detroit Lions span the range of emotions. There were those pleased that this was not the same collapse-prone team that marked the Spagnuolo era as well as those understandably upset with losing a game they should have had in hand.

A roundup of the different reactions after the jump.

Torry Holt saw progress.

He could have creamed Sam. Good game guys. Back to the drawing board. Safe travels to the Lou.#Rams

Michael Brockers, who watched in his street clothes while recovering from an ankle injury saw the positive.

Disappointing lose but we played like champs and it's a long season #Rams

Jo-Lonn Dunbar, who had a big game that included an interception, promised better things to come.

I promise you this much, I like this team. Let's make corrections & get better. #Rams

The Tweet of the game goes to Bernie Miklasz, who said this:

For the people saying "Same Old Rams" -- you're better and smarter than that.
