Big game today, especially for so early in the season.
They were supposed to beat the Colts, so we didn't get much respect for doing so. And yes, I love the ass-whooping we handed out, but we got our butts handed to us last year by the niners in week one, and nobody thought they were going to be good (correctly judging their actual abilities).
So this game will set a lot up for how the rest of the league sees the Rams, and how the Rams see themselves. A win here writes a new story for the media:
-The first win wasn't a fluke
-We can beat decent teams, not just the sucky ones
-McVay's influence on this group is legit
-if Goff has another good game, they can start a new narrative: he is a good quarterback who had bad protection and coaching last year
-if the defense puts together another strong outing, they can start talking about Phillips and all the high draft choices we have on the D
-etc.
If we lose, it'll be one story:
-same ole sorry-ass Rams
I really, really want a win here.
