It was a Good Year for the Rams

The Saint Louis Rams wrapped up their 2012 campaign with a loss at Seattle on Sunday afternoon 20-13.  That loss gave them an overall record of 7-8-1.  But, what is encouraging is that is six fewer losses than 2011.  The Rams also lost just once in their division this year.  The division record was 4-1-1.  The tie coming at San Francisco and the loss was this Sunday at Seattle.  Both of those teams are playoff bound.

The Rams are the youngest team in the NFL and have done a nice job of filling needs with draft picks and free agents.  The talent is in place. The Rams have built up a number of extra draft picks this year and next year with trades to other NFL teams prior to the 2012 draft.

Given the current management and the job done by head coach Jeff Fischer I am optimistic about the 2013 season.

Three in a Row

How long has it been since the Saint Louis Rams have won three games in a row?  I looked it up and it was the last three weeks of the 2006 season.  What's more impressive is that in three of the last five seasons the Rams didn't even reach three wins for the entire year.

The Rams defense has been tremendous under the direction of coach Jeff Fischer.  Once again this past Sunday the D kept the Rams in the game until the offense could surge ahead late in the fourth quarter.

The Rams are now 6-6-1 with three games left in the regular season.  They finish the home season this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings and then close out the season on the road at Tampa Bay and then at Seattle the last week of the regular season.

This team continues to surprise and keep in mind they are the youngest team in the NFL.  Go Rams!
