If and when this team is a playoff contender we may not soon forget the 2009 season. On paper the Rams were mismatched against the Vikings. If you omit the scoreboard (humor me) the Rams should have won. The Rams out gained the Vikings, held All Pro Adrian Peterson in check, defense minus some big plays did well, and the offense moved the ball against a defense that many hold in high regard.
We as fans get frustrated and rightly so. Other franchises have transformed themselves in a year from pretender to contender. Devaney and Spags I think want to model this franchise like the Colts. Before Manning, the Colts were horrible, and his first couple of years weren't that pretty either. Fast forward, the Colts are a franchise that has been successful for so long that people don't remember when the weren't.
This year and maybe even next will stink being a Rams' fan. We won't win much, and the guys on ESPN will only talk about the Rams in a joking manner. But if in middle of next season a light goes on and we start winning, I truly believe that we will be proud fans again. That's why the Rams don't sign aging vets like Linehan did. Get them young, coach them up, and the down the road winning may will start, and last for some time.
