Put a Fork In It

It's done! Finally this sorry excuse for a season is over with. I've never been happier to see a season end. Happier for it's demise than I was last season.

The WatchDog gives us his thoughts this week make sure to go on over and check it out.

Wake Me From This Nightmare

This season has been like a reoccurring nightmare that none of us can seem to wake up from. Over and over again it's the same thing. Nothing changes. The only difference is, that you finally do wake up from a nightmare and thank God that's all it was. But even when the nightmare of the season is over for us, it'll never quite be fully gone, it will haunt us all the off season, which then will probably begin yet another nightmare unless Chip figures out a way to get out of this mess.

Here's what GeezerRam has to say about the Rams this week.

Turning Point

Well the team has been graded for this week, and despite the loss there were some decent grades given out.

And We Haven't Finished Dead Last

Well, thanks to the Lions at least we won't be finishing dead last and we have a couple of other teams sitting there with us vying for the very next best pick in the draft.

Sad, so very, very sad.

Grading Out

At first I didn't think that we were going to give out the Golden Heart this week, and still not sure if it was truly earned but at least the player we did choose appeared to try and play with some heart. Far more than we can say for the rest of them.
