St. Louis is already tuning out the Rams

Go Rams

I made the case last week that the Rams were quietly in the mix for the most disappointing team in the league.

That was written before another desultory home loss at the hands of the Redskins. It’s tiring to hear this blamed on the schedule. St. Louis’ opponents so far are 6-6 in games not against the Rams. It hasn’t been that tough a schedule and the Rams haven’t been competitive.

The city of St. Louis, distracted by the Cardinals, have already started to tune out their football team. For two straight weeks, the Rams’ TV ratings were lower than any game during Sam Bradford’s rookie season.

Overall, the television ratings in St. Louis are down 17% this year. We can’t imagine that will improve until the Rams win a game or two.

It felt like this organization was past the three-year, six win stretch, but this all feels too familiar.
