Yep, it's a tough position to be in right now for us Rams fans. Only thing we can do is sit back and watch this Sunday. A win and we are back in this thing. The other side of the coin is bad....real bad.

I generally consider a good year (as a football fan) as one that your team is in the playoff hunt until the end of the season. Last year was a great example. We got to watch the whole season with every week knowing that if we won that week, we would increase our odds of getting into the playoffs. Anything better than that is a bonus.

Unfortunately, as Rams fans of many years, we know all too well the feeling of waiting the whole offseason in anticipation only to find that by week 4, your team is in deep trouble and you have to start looking ahead to the next year. (and try to remember what other hobbies you have to keep you busy).

It's make or break this week IMHO. Rams were doing well up until half time, and if not for fumbles, poor play calling, and a defensive meltdown in the second half, looked like they were a good match for the Panthers. No reason not to expect a better performance from Bulger, Olsen, and Jackson. Special Teams looks much improved. Defense, well, did I mention the offense should look better?

Go Rams!
