What team do you have an irrational hate for?

[Rex]

Just realized why Rex is so confident in his team this year.... Saw this on NFL.com and here is a link to back it up!

Rams have been in first place since February!

I like it. The tie breaker must be good clean play. :th2thumbs:

 

[rideaducati]

I of course hate certain teams within reason....

My irrational ones would have to be Philly and the Cleveland. I hate Cleveland, and all teams associated with it. I found an even bigger reason to hate them when Manziel went there and pulled all the crap he's pulled....

On the Rams subject though they do tend to injure all of our star players and a QB in every game since 2012 except 1 believe. They are a team that comes up on the schedule and I know fans on my board get upset about the possibility of injuries that tend to happen when playing them.

I know I saw Rex in a previous post say that Fisher should be a top 10 coach despite having a losing record something like 10 of the last 12 years. The guy will get you to 8-8. Thats what he's good for. You say you have been stock piling talent. What has 10 years of early 1st round draft picks done for you guys including the years you have hoarded picks?

Forget the 10 years as many of them I wish I could forget. At issue is Fisher's regime with Snead as GM which is the last 3 seasons. Of all teams fans it should be Seahawks fans that realize this Rams team is much more competitive than Rams teams under Lineman or Spagnuola. As I wrote before the Rams are more competitive within the division which is where Fisher has concentrated his efforts first and foremost.

The rams are not competitive.(says their record) The rams have not improved.(says their record) Fisher has duped you.(says their record)

The rams have beaten the Seahawks a couple times in three seasons. The first one was a game in which Russell was a rookie and there were fluky turnovers. Ball bouncing off Marshawn's hands. TE falling down when making his cut. Ball bouncing off the turf called an int...FLUKY because there wasn't anything that the rams did that caused ANY of these turnovers. I don't consider that game to mean the rams are competitive. I consider that game a FLUKE.

The second time the rams beat the Seahawks was a game that Fisher KNEW his team was out manned and out gunned and won on special teams. Good for them. Congratulations. I hope that game made you feel better this offseason. Seattle was so much better that day than the rams, it was ridiculous. Sometimes, the better team doesn't win. Russell had 313 yards passing and over 100 rushing yards. I believe he set a record that day. Baldwin had 120+ yards receiving. WIthout the funny punt return trickery, the rams lose that game.

Fluky wins against better teams does not make your team competitive. Lining up and punching the other team in the mouth face to face and winning is being competitive. Having a punt returner running to one side of the field waving his arms and screaming while the ball goes to the opposite side of the field where it is picked up and ran back for a touchdown is not being competitive, it's a sucker punch. It worked on that day, but it did not make them competitive. Sucker punches are used by guys that know they can't win face to face.

On MNF two years ago, we did punch the Hawks in the face. Over and over and over again. But lost a game we completely dominated. It happens.

On the flip side, the Rams with a 3rd string caliber QB beat the Hawks and the defense I read at the time, and apparently now, is that it was "fluky"...

We had a 3rd string QB playing, of course we needed the special teams trickery. The thing that the fans should be afraid of is, that in the past 4 games, all with bad QBs, the Rams are 1-3, with one of the losses being a game that we dominated in.

The Rams have been a great team before....the NFL ebbs and flows, enjoy this while you can. At this point your superbowl championship is history....just like ours. The Rams have been very bad for 10 years....and Hawks have been good for 3. Three years. You guys have a lot of confidence for a team that's only been good for 3 years. The Rams don't intentionally try to hurt anyone....that's ignorant. What happened to Palmer and Stanton were both fluky, and aside from the ONE game at Seattle at the end of the 2013 season, the Rams haven't done anything remotely dirty to the Hawks in the Fisher era.

You guys hate Fisher because he can beat the Hawks. Greg Williams - what he did was unacceptable. I wasn't thrilled with his (re)hiring. But what can I do?

You bash Fisher for being mediocre, but of all the division opponents, the Hawks have the most trouble with the Rams....and that's why you don't like him. You feel like you should destroy us every time, but most games end up close.

 

[canfan]

The Entitled Town Packers - mostly because of "We were the Better Team" Rogers who lobbies for a flag after every play, but that 'roided out dipstick Clay Matthews has a special spot in my heart too!

 

[chris98251]

Wow we have been the dominant team in the NFC West since 2000, but only good three years. Ok you have great credibility.

 

[bigtrain21]

The Rams have been very bad for 10 years....and Hawks have been good for 3. Three years. You guys have a lot of confidence for a team that's only been good for 3 years.

We've won 7 division titles in the last 11 years and been to the playoffs 9 of the last 12 years. We've been to 3 super bowls in those 10 years that you have been bad. Do you realize how crazy you sound?

I still can't believe the Rams lost that game. The Hawks were the best team as they clearly showed on the biggest stage of the Super Bowl, the drubbing of the 49ers at home, et al, and were a preseason favorite but after DeAngelo Williams fumble, the Schaub meltdown, and that MNF game where the above statement is true, I knew the Hawks were going to win it all. It was meant to be. If even one of the above doesn't happen the Panthers are the #1 seed in 13 and the entire dynamic of the playoffs change.

Wow we have been the dominant team in the NFC West since 2000, but only good three years. Ok you have great credibility.

Well lets take a look.

Dominant team you say? Since 2000 in the NFC west?

2000 Saints
2001 Rams
2002 49ers
2003 Rams
2004 Seahawks (one game ahead of Rams and lost 3 times to Rams)
2005 Seahawks
2006 Seahawks (one game ahead of Rams)
2007 Seahawks
2008 Cardinals
2009 Cardinals
2010 Seahawks (tied with Rams)
2011 49ers
2012 49ers
2013 Seahawks (one game ahead of 49ers)
2014 Seahawks (one game ahead of Cardinals)

You get more divisional titles by the skin on your teeth than any other team. Out of 7 division titles only 2 were dominant teams.

In a league in which tremendous hits were lauded and showcased and marketed to the fans on the league's own network it is hypocritical to condemn Williams when teams and players were making money off hits which caused injury.

They're afraid of Fisher because he has their number. If Rams had any continuity at QB the record against the Seahawks would be even better.

So your not the best team if you don't send everyone to the ER?

So if you win a Super Bowl by one point you didn't earn it and are not the best?

So if any other teams win a game in your conference or division then your not dominant?

The long term winning in the division speaks for itself, if you don't like the results and the record maybe you should take it up with your franchise, or you can whine like a Marshall Faulk clone.

If we never had any injuries we would have won 6 Super Bowls, I can use the what if arguement as well as you can.

That's one of the dumber arguments I have heard.

NFC West Titles since Seattle joined in 2002:
Seahawks -- 7
Whiners -- 3
Cardinals -- 2
Lambs -- 1

Seahawks have more division titles than the rest of the NFC West combined since realignment.

ONE GAME...one. The rams have played tough against the Seahawks ONCE in a decade. The rams are inconsistent because even when they do play well, they tend to lose. Whooptie freaking doooo, they played tough IN A LOSS to the Seahawks. Enjoy your ribbon.

I don't hate Fisher, I wonder how he manages to keep a head coaching job in the NFL with worse results than a weatherman.

The Seahawks have had more trouble beating EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE NFC WEST than they have beating the rams.... In the last decade the Seahawks are 17-3 vs the rams. 12-9 vs the niners. 11-9 vs the cards. I hope the rams play tough like that for the next decade.

The Seahawks have only been good for three years? I guess if you only want to go back three years you would be accurate, but compared to the rams ZERO good years in the last three, you make a VERY CONVINCING argument as to why the Seahawks still look better than the rams. Good job.

Well, with the teams the rams keep rolling out, the Seahawks don't really need to try very hard.

 

[volsunghawk]

Irrational? Browns, Bengals, and Jets.

 

[ringless]

Speaking of dominance over the last 10 years.....


The Rams have had the 2nd most amount of losses in the last 10 years... The only team they dominate is Oakland by two wins lol


49 Wins and 110 losses (1 tie)

I don't have much to stand on, Arizona has only won 31 more games in that time and is right in the middle of the pack.

Only 7 teams have won more games than Seattle in the last 10 years... I consider a team with that many wins in 10 years pretty dominant.

Also just for a little funny humor. The Lions went 0-16 in 2008 and still have more wins than Stl... Im dying!

 

[RedAlice]

I've said this a hundred times re my loves...thanks for the back-up. Really not sure proof is needed for the Rams sucking bad the last 10 years.


I think my absolute favorite moment of NFL team love is a week in Japan (Chiba) for a trade show. The client's art director came to see the booth and he is a rabid Raider fan. So, I told him what time the games were on and then we agreed I would wake him up and I gave him the website to watch the games on. Was like 2 or 3 am.

We did as agreed.

Me: I'm watching a game Rams are going to lose ( as always) - but, I am clapping and shouting when they: CATCH A BALL. It was so exciting! They rarely did it.

Him from room next door: text: I can hear you. I know they didn't score.

Me: They caught a ball

Him: You are an idiot.

Me: What , Raiders winning?


hahaha....great days.

You've been a fan longer than 4 years tho, right?

I respect most Hawk fans as they member the losing years.

Yes. That's irrelevant though unless I am misunderstanding your point. I'm not trying to rub it in or anything to you or any other Rams fan. My point is that he has no right to talk any sort of trash. That's all.

The 90's were mostly rough but there were some really great Seahawks teams in the 80's that gave me a lot of great memories as a kid.
