Re: Where did the Rams go wrong?

I think there was and is a confusion about the identity of this team. When the greatest show on turf was in full effect, it caught the entire league by surprise. Then I think the Rams got caught up in trying to be the Rams as soon as Dick Vermeil. Suddenly the team got a little pass happy, and cute. The moves they made in the off season and in free agency were to get a faster defense that would be able to keep a lead and slow down a passing game. But all the while they were becoming less effective as an offense with the decline in play and aging of key players on offense who were never successfully replaced. I think it goes back to not calling plays that is best suited for your personel, and building a team while disillusioned as to where your strengths and weaknesses lie. Right now if healthy we could be one of the best offenses in the league, but we still have an undersized defense that is built only to play with a big lead. I dunno if this made sense but I am frustrated and venting.
