Song of the Season:Mad World by Gary Jules
Its over...the season has come to an end and once again its over not in February or even January but December. For the 3rd year in a row. The last time we were in the playoffs Atlanta killed us. The last time we were playing Arizona killed us. Its official Kurt Warner owns the Rams and Scott Linehan should be gone. Let me take this 1 game at a time.
Week 1 vs Carolina:This was make or break. If we win(which I was sure we would've) it was going to be a good year but if we lose, its going to be bad. We start out hot and led 13-7 at halftime. The 2nd half comes along, Pace gets hurt. Panthers 27 Rams 13.
Week 2 vs San Francisco:I made it a goal to sweep the Niners. We did very good stopping Alex Smith and containing Frank Gore but a Torry Holt fumble turns the ship around. However, we managed to gain momentum with stops and a score but a Dante Hall fumble leads to a Niners score. With 50 seconds to go, Wilkens misses a 50 yard field goal and final score:49ers 17 Rams 16.
Week 3 vs Tampa Bay:I didn't watch this one but all I know is that Brian Leonard started instead of Steven Jackson and the Bucs kill our offense. We have yet to beat Tampa since the 1999 NFC Championship. Buccaneers 24 Rams 3
Week 4 vs Dallas:At this point we're literally dead in the water and I was out of my brain on a 5:15. We held Dallas for a while but the Romo run was a momentum shift and we died in the 3rd Quarter. Cowboys 35 Rams 7.
Week 5 vs Arizona:Bulger's gone, Jackson's gone, the O-line is decimated. We took out Leinart early and tried to take out Warner. Freorotte and Leonard played their best games of the year but alas Cardinals 34 Rams 31.
Week 6 vs Baltimore:This made me hate Freorotte. We had several chances to get momentum and beat the Ravens but Freorotte threw 5 picks. Ravens 22 Rams 3.
Week 7 vs Seattle:I made another goal to beat Seattle at least once. Bulger and Jackson are back but ineffective. Seahawks 33 Rams 6.
Week 8 vs Cleveland:Why should I care? Why should I care? I didn't watch this one instead I was in Bunker Hill watching the Dolphins/Giants with my cousin. We were close at the end and it looked as if we were going to make a come-from-behind rally but Bulger was picked off. Browns 27 Rams 20.
Week 10 vs New Orleans:Again didn't watch it at least not until the end. From what I saw we killed the Saints and let them back in only to shove them out. Rams 37 Saints 29.
Week 11 vs San Francisco:Probably the best DEFENSIVE game we played all year. Again we contained Frank Gore and stopped Tim Rattay. Rams 13 49ers 9.
Week 12 vs Seattle:We rode the 2-game winning streak into a match-up against my most hated Rams rival. We fought hard and led 19-7 but lost Bulger and the game after Freorotte fumbled at the 1. Seahawks 24 Rams 19.
Week 13 vs Atlanta:I thought this was easy. We played well but we let them back in in the 2nd half. Freorotte played his best game and we won. Rams 28 Falcons 16.
Week 14 vs Cincinnati:I knew we were screwed the minute I read this on the schedule. We stopped Carson Palmer and Ocho Cinco but forgot about the run game. At the end it bit us in the ass. Brock Berlin didn't help either. Bengals 19 Rams 10.
Week 15 vs Green Bay:This looked easy...until Week 3. We did well for the first half but again fell apart in the 2nd. I missed most of us via blackout. Packers 33 Rams 14.
Week 16 vs Pittsburgh:Damn the NFL Network for broadcasting us all over the country. It was supposed to be a big night because we were retiring Marshall's jersey. Instead we played with no awareness(especially in the 4th Quarter) and our defense imploded. Steelers 41 Rams 24.
Week 17 vs Arizona:Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye. I really cared less. The only positives that can come out of this is me winning my Fantasy league courtesy of Kurt Warner and the firing of Scott Linehan. Cardinals 48 Rams 19.
Whose fault is it that we're 3-13? I'd say coaches and players. The players lost to Carolina, San Francisco, Arizona, Cleveland, Seattle(the 2nd time), and Green Bay. While the rest were do to coaching. If Linehan isn't gone by the end of January then theirs a serious issue.
