The Rams have looked like a good team recently, earning quite a bit of respect in the process. They are playing well on both sides of the ball and even pretty good on special teams.
As much adversity as the Rams have faced this year with injuries, Martz and all the other dips in the roller coaster ride that is the Rams, it's a testament to this team that they were able to win their first playoff game today.
I think that lady luck has been especially kind to the team over the last three weeks and hope that it will continue next week, most likely against Philly. Heck, if things keep going this way, Minnesota will beat Green Bay tomorrow and the Rams will play Atlanta, which I think is a more winnable game than Philly.
The Rams have been recipients of:
-Philly resting most of their starters in a week 16 game!
-Bulger's injury not being as serious as a throwing shoulder could be.
-Brien missing the fg to keep the Rams alive.
-Getting help from Carolina
-Engram dropping a sure td that was in his hands to end the game today.
This year, it's probably better to be lucky than good and the Rams have had the hot hand the past three weeks. Just two more and we'll be the worst (8-8) good team ever! Actually, I think the Rams already hold that honor at 9-7 with some other teams. This reminds me of the Lakers of the last few years. Play just good enough to get in to the dance, and then do some damage.
