I mean hats off to them still they got the ring, but their team didn't really look unbeatable and looked like any other good team this year.
49ers should have beat them in the NFC Championship and the Bengals got a terrible call against them that would have made it 4th and goal from the 10 on their final drive.
A few things went there way and that's why their Super bowl Champs.
The trades helped make them better but they got lucky.
Not a conspiracy theorist but it felt like the NFL wanted the Rams to go far this year so that they could succeed in Los Angeles.
Those who think that is the model to follow in order to win a Championship are mistaken.
Making super bold, daring trades, big name FA signings and major contract re-signed extensions, cutting loose declining high paid starters or sacrificing multiple high 1st rd picks
- and then performing in the playoffs when all the stakes, all the season lifeline is on the line, when it matters most ... is Not being " lucky" imo.
- The word is more very high risky gambling,... and like it or not it's a high strategic decision making.
The Rams even dare to trade away their then franchise starting QB, ..for a older, seasoned vet QB in Stafford, whose never had playoff success in his NFL career,
It was the ultimate Wow move, .. trading for Jalen Ramsey, ..trading for Von Miller, .picking up OJ Beckham off the street post-waivers ,..
Now even with all of these stellar names, you still have to have coaching direction mixed into this, ..the schemes,.. the discipline.., in-game adjustments, all areas performing on all
cyclinders. including special teams.
