Rams vs Bears

Well the broken record continues. I was flying home and was debating internally what type of article is more difficult to write: an off season one, or when the Rams have a near constant string of terrible games. Answer: I'll get back to you after week 17, but this is brutal.

I could dissect players, offense, defense, but realistically (hopefully) many of these players will be gone after this season. There was a honest look at these Rams by the St Louis Post-Dispatch that alluded to this very notion. We at least have a clear idea of who can play and who needs to go. For example Corey Chavous who has been defended each year by the Rams, and Will Witherspoon as a MLB when we all know he is better suite for WLB. These two examples do speak to some of the dysfunction at Rams Park.

We know a huge problem is the players which includes free agency disasters, poor drafts, and players that never seem to develop here. The front office will change thankfully, ownership probably will too.

The harsh reality for Rams' fans are we are fans of a bottom tier team. Once we have exhausted all plausible and fabricated theories we are left with the sad truth that we are a bad football team, and no magical quick fix is going to work.
