The Patriots are doing what the Rams should be doing. We were the better team back then but not the better coached team. We also didnt know how to cheat like them either. I think if we had kept Vermiel and let Martz go to another team we WOULD have another ring.

Vermiel retired, the Ram's didn't "force his hand". He wanted to retire and he has said many times it was a mistake. Hiring Martz was the obvious choice, we had one of the greatest offensive seasons ever and you don't think Martz should have been hired? Like Martz or hate him, any FO in the NFL would have done the same thing in the same situation
