Re: On paper prior to the first game, how did you see the current Rams roster?
I posted 7-9 "probably", 8-8 "maybe", 9-7 "if we got a few good breaks and stayed healthy".
My reasoning? Last year we went 6-10, and our schedule last year was much softer than the schedule coming into this year. (based on teams win/loses records the previous year) So, I reasoned that with some limited improvements on defense due to our additions of Spoon, Glover, Chavous and Brown, we'd pick up a game or two and be, at best, 9-7. But with the schedule being more difficult, I gave back a game and said that I'd be satisfied (but not entirely happy) with an improvement to 8-8.
When we started out 4-1, I was fooled into thinking I was wrong about our guys, and we could go 9-7 or 10-6. Unfortunately, I was more right originally than I wanted to be. :\ ...and now?
We need to step up the effort if we expect to win another game, and finish better than 5-11.
