Not sure if too many, which we lost 14-7. I don't want to go into details. We should have won that game by Hacksaw 1 year 2 months ago Total posts: 24523 Joined: Apr 15 2015 AT THE BEACH Moderator R.I.P.

The old NFL did alternating years to determine home field in the playoffs. One season the Rams were 11 and 1 and still had to go to Minnesota and play in the snow. Of course they lost. Finally we get the home field advantage in a playoff game and it rained so hard in LA you could hardly tell who was who during the game. Slish slosh splat. Lost again.

As a fan who does not fully appreciate 70s and 80s Rams football, thank you sir. Makes you wonder how the Rams would be viewed differently today if they had managed to break through .. I have said this elsewhere but I often wonder if there are oldtimers who can't respect the Rams today because of their falling short in this era.On the contrary, I respect them that much more for winning 2 Lombardis, when they were always a bridesmaid in the 60's, 70's and 80's.Winning year in and year out like they did in those days only goes so far. "Get over the hump for christsakes!". Eventually, it's not much different than "that 7-9 bullshit". TGSOT and McVays Rams got over that hump. I don't care if 7-9, 8-8 and now 5-12 came along with it. It sure as hell beats 10 wins every year and a postseason exit. Been following the horns since the Coliseum had a Roman playing there. McVay: 77-49, 2 Superbowls, 1 Lombardi............Doubt at your own peril by 69superbowl1 1 year 2 months ago Total posts: 29 Joined: Oct 08 2021 LA Coliseum Undrafted Free Agent Re: R.I.P. Bud Grant POST #8 Elvis, Hacksaw liked this post I am a Ram fan of the 1960's vintage. Bud Grant was my Belicheat, Coach Quiche and whatever Schottenwhiner is coaching. I loathed the Vikings and they made my life hell as a kid. December 27th, 1969 was the pinnacle of all angst in my life (and the genesis for this here fake internet name). If the Rams win that game I am positive they go to the Super Bowl and beat the minor league Chefs. Positive. Bud Grant was a good coach, a great Minnesotan and a thorn in my goddam side for decades. Vaya Condios Senor Grant. I never loathed him, just wished the Rams could have beat that scowl off his face more often. Rams forever. 2 by 69superbowl1 1 year 2 months ago Total posts: 29 Joined: Oct 08 2021 LA Coliseum Undrafted Free Agent R.I.P. Bud Grant POST #9 Thanks for posting that Jack.
