Ok… number #1
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
When your team doesn’t perform according to your expectations what do you want? When your team has eaten from the basket of sweet victory and then year after year has been banished to eat scraps with the dogs… what do you want?
Blood (figuratively)?
A sacrifice to acknowledge that all is right with the universe? Give me Brady!!! Give me Boldin!!! Give me Adrian Peterson!!! But as smoldering emotions subside, we succumb to the reality that this will probably never happen.
But Rams fans, all is right with the universe. Remember, we still have one of the best running backs in the NFL in Stephen Jackson. We have a rebuilt offensive line including the Jasons (Draft Pick Jason Smith and signed free agent Jason Brown) and a new face at TE in Eric Butler.
We have the statistically stunning Mark Bulger with a chip on his shoulders. Finally, and most satisfyingly, we have a new head coach in Steve Spagnuolo.
(Is it wrong that I still want Tom Brady?)

I’d say Marc Bulger’s last two years have been anything but statistically stunning.
But boy is it nice to be able to use a computer for once. Too bad I’m going on vacation.
I of course want the Rams to win enough games to make it to the playoffs and then do well once there, if not win the Lombardi Trophy…
In the absence of that I would at least like to see them appear periodically competitive.
For the last two years watching the Rams play has been like watching a weak division II team getting pulverized by a qualified division I teams who schedule such poorly suited opponents simply to fatten up their records.
First – no to Tom Brady.
Secondly, I’d just like the Rams not to be considered in the “worst team in the league” talk. That would be nice to be mediocre.
