But seriously, these Rams always play us close. I remember that Zorn year we started 6-2 and Pete Kendall picked up a fumble and fumbled and OJ Atogwe ran it in for a TD, Rams won 19-17.
Then we played them again the next year under Zorn and won 9-7.
The year after that we played St. Louis in St. Louis in Shanahans first year, when Bradford was a rookie, and we had that game controlled, but then we allowed a backup RB to score on a poor tackling run and Josh Brown kicked 3 straight field goals and they whooped us 30-16. McNabb was our QB then of course.
And we have last year where we had Rex and we were in full control of the game, but let them get back into the game after being up 17-0, they scored 10 straight on us after 2 Rex int's, made it a close game, but we held on 17-10.
I know what you all are thinking 'Oh it was Rex' or 'oh it was Donovan' but keep in mind that the Rams have gotten better with a real head coach (no Aaron Kromer calling this weeks game) and they have a tougher team especially defensively adding Finnegan and Janoris Jenkins along with Kendall Langford (Brockers should he play this weekend) ROCKY McIntosh! JoLon Dunbar is solid. And of course they have Laurinatis who is experienced and just got resigned. Chris Long is a pro bowler, but I like Trents chances against him and I like RG3s chances of out running him. And the other DE is Robert Quinn whom we almost drafted last year.
