Some Things You May Not Know...

[AlphaRam]

1. The Rams are two wins shy of winning 500 games in the NFL. There are 5 teams who have achieved that mark:

Chicago Bears (1922) - 672
Green Bay Packers (1922) - 629
NY Giants (1925)- 600
Washington Redskins (Boston Braves) (1932)- 522
Pittsburgh Steelers (1933) - 502

The Rams entered the NFL in 1937.

2. Since the mid-sixties, there have only been 5 pairs of receivers that have played together for 9, or more, seasons. Bruce and Holt have more receptions (1334) and more receiving yards (19975) for the past 9 years. This beats:

PIT: Stallworth-Swann
DEN: Rod Smith - Mccaffery
MIA: Clayton-Duper
***: Rice-Tayler

3. Jeff Wilkins is the highest scorer in Rams history. Wilkins holds a streak of making 351 consecutive XPs, 2nd highest in NFL history. He is behind Jason Elam of Denver who has 371 XPs in a row.

Then we had better get those 2 wins THIS YEAR.
Nice Bruce-Holt stats. Let's get those guys over 20,000 together this week.

I hope they come out with a 500 win jacket or something for the rams.

ARGH!:x Wilkins is jinxed now.

There are two Rams who hail from Canada - Romberg and Otogwe. There are only 11 Canadians who play in the NFL.

I thought they won their 500th game in 2004...

[GreatestShow99]

The 500th win came on 12/5/2004

Any more Canadians in past Rams teams? I can think of one whose autograph my son has.

[TekeRam]

Could this be 500 regular season wins maybe? 2004 being 500 total wins?

[AlphaRam]

I got the information from the Rams press release for the game this week...you can check it out at the link below. The Rams post a media release every week.

Maybe if we keep these kinds of threads going for a few days we won't feel so down about current records and state-of-affairs generated from Rams Park.

I think we are also very close to most all time playoff appearances. I think in 2004 we were behind the Giants by 1 (I don't think they went by individual game, but total appearances, one a year max I think).

Tom Nutten also hailed from Canada.

Bruce and Holt are the best team of receivers in the NFL in my opinion. The stats show it to, and the Rams need to get them 2 games won, they pretty much have to win their next 9 games if they want a shot at the playoffs.
