Restrict it to 5 tops?
I will post later for “worst losses” (unless someone beats me to it).
Right now it’s favorite wins. Up to 5 if you have 5 (some won’t which is okay).
November 29, 2014 at 1:49 pm #12662rflParticipantNone. ‘Cause Fisher has not yet delivered a win that lifted us into legitimate contention for having a winning year with meaningful games past Thanksgiving.
He’s stolen some games but all have come after we were already in the hole for the season aqnd none led to real achievement.
If you forced me to pick a game, I guess it would be the Thursday night win v. AZ. That one SEEMED to be a bit of a breakthrough.
Nothing followed, however.
By virtue of the absurd ...

November 29, 2014 at 2:06 pm #12665CalParticipantI’m gonna go with:
5. Rams 16 – Niners 13 in 2012. That was a really good Niners team and they kicked the Rams offense’s ass. But the Rams defense was awfully good, too. It was a lotta fun rooting for SJ back in 2012.
4. Rams and Broncos from this year. Great seeing the defense step up against Manning and the Broncos offense.
3. Rams 38 – Colts 8 in 2013. Just a dominating performance and complete surprise. I was (and am) a big fan of Tavon, so it was nice seeing him play so well.
2. Rams 15 – Bills 12 in 2012. The offense had a hard time in Buffalo, but they somehow managed to get the W. This put the Rams at .500 and set up what seemed like a meaningful December game at home against Minny.
And1. Rams 17 – Cards 3 in 2012. Loved seeing the Rams dominate with the pass rush and they had 9 sacks that day. I think that was also the last time the Rams were over .500 after a couple of weeks in the season.

I would have to agree with that list, for the most part, but I would sub Rams/Seattle at home this year for the 2012 Cards game. It’s just that it was Seattle and no one gave the Rams a chance.
November 30, 2014 at 1:57 am #12691TSRFParticipant2012, Week 2, Rams 31, Washington 28.
Just because, for me, it seemed to vindicate their trade of the high draft pick that became RG3.
I also liked the “rope a dope” that Finnigan pulled on the Washington WR. If I remember right, he clearly hit the WR after the play, the ref didn’t see it, and the Washington player got called for retaliating. I thought this game was going to be the beginning of a new toughness to the Rams. The 4 pillars were gone, Fisher was bringing in some of his goons and we were going to at least start to play some hard nosed D.
I also liked this year’s Bronco game, especially since NOBODY gave us a chance.
For my remaining top 5, any divisional win can be plugged in, but especially the ones against SF.

November 30, 2014 at 7:00 am #12696nittany ramModeratorAlthough not a victory, I think an honorable mention should go to the 24 – 24 tie in San Fran in 2012. Besides, only the score says it was a tie. Anyone who watched the game would tell you the Rams won.
This game served notice to the rest of the NFC West that the Rams would no longer be out-physicaled by their opponents. It also established my favorite attribute about the Rams under Fisher. Don’t ever count them out, because when you assume they are dead and lean over their apparently lifeless body they will smack you in the face. The Rams had lost three in a row coming into that game and had no business thinking they could hang with the best team in the NFC in their house. But from the opening drive to the disappointing finish in OT the Rams out-hit and outhustled the 9’ers. SJax was a beast and they should have erected a statue of Danny Amendola after that game.
Of course, the following week the Rams established another pattern under Fisher…inconsistency. They got hammered by the hapless Jets in the ED.

December 2, 2014 at 6:10 am #12836cgsuddeathParticipant5. Rams 13 – Niners 10 in November 2 2014. I enjoyed watching that egotistical Kaepernick throwing a tantrum on the sidelines because he fumbled.He knew he didn’t have a handle of the ball at the beginning of the play and lost it again.
4. Rams 19 – Seattle 13 from September 2012.
3. Rams 38 – Colts 8 in 2013. Love watching the Great Andrew Luck get embarassed at home.
2. Rams 31 – Redskins 28 in 2012.The knock hit by Janoris Jenkins.
1. Rams 17 – Cards 3 in 2012. Loved the 9 sacks.
December 5, 2014 at 10:30 am #13134joemadParticipantI liked all the divisional games from 2012. I wasn’t sold on Bradford and Fisher at the beginning of 2012, but they ended up undefeated against the NFC west that year.
The game that sold me the most on Bradford and Fisher, wasn’t even a victory, it was the tie in SF… (Rams had 2 OT games against SF that year)
The Rams had a 3 game losing streak, just coming off a 45-7 loss to New England in the UK, and were facing a very good SF team with Alex Smith that just lost the NFC Championship the year before… there was no chance in hell that the RAMS would win….. they didn’t win, but they didn’t lose either.
Rams knocked Alex Smith out of San Fran and opened up the Kraperdick era.
Bradford and the RAMS played very tough that day in a pretty hostile environment, Bradford impressed me that game, tough as nails.
1st play in OT, Bradford hit Amendola with an 80 yard bomb that was nullified by a horrible offensive alignment penalty, the flag was dropped after crybaby Harbaugh lobbied the refs… turned out, the call was not correct.
Each team missed FGs in OT….
It was the only tie game that I have ever attended at any level of play.
