    Its been so long since the rams played a big game like this. Two juggernauts facing each other in Dec. Knowing they may meet again.

    Reminds me of 69. The Rams were 11-0. Vikings were 10-1 (they lost their first game).

    Purple People Eaters and Joe Kapp vs Roman the Fearsome Foursome. Vikes shut down the rams offense and won 20-13 in Los Angeles.

    Rams didnt win another game that year. Lost the last two regular season games, and then lost to the Vikings 23-20 in the terrible-horrible-playoff-game.

    It can be painful being ‘relevant’ this time of year.

    I didn’t expect being relevant this year, so I kind of see it as the Rams being upstarts getting ahead of themselves.

    They could win OR lose and either way it just seems like a dress rehearsal for all the upcoming years.

    I arrived at that position through razor sharp reasoning.

    We have been on quite a ride this year, no question about it. It has been a long, long time since we had games that mattered in November, let alone December. We have usually started draft threads by now.

    So…the Vikes game was the biggest game the Rams had played in over a decade, followed by the Saints which was bigger, and now the Eagles which is the biggest game of the season for anybody, and next week, the Seahawks game will be bigger yet. That is a power stretch of games I cannot recall ever seeing, not including playoffs.

    Regardless of today’s outcome, the Seahawks next week is for all the marbles. The Rams could lose to Philly, and the Seahawks beat Jax, and next week likely determines the division. The Rams could beat Philly, and if the Seahawks win, next week is STILL for the division. The only way next week dips is if the Rams win and Seattle loses in which case the Rams would have a 2 game lead with 3 to play, and they would still likely win the division even if they lose to Seattle.

    So. Philadelphia. Let’s measure up.

    Well, I expected the Rams to go undefeated this year so to me they are little more than a bunch of indolent layabouts.
