TOP 10 REASONS THE RAMS WILL GO WINLESS

6 down, 10 to go. Can the Rams achieve perfection? All signs point to... YES.

10. Their last ten games are at Seattle, Cleveland, at New Orleans, at San Fran, Seattle, Atlanta, at Cincy, Green Bay, Pittsburgh and at Arizona. Right now, it's hard to imagine they will be favored in any of those games.

9. Coach Scott Linehan has taken over the play-calling. In general, having a zombie do this doesn't work out. (Witness the 2006 Raiders.)

8. Today's starting quarterback, Gus Frerotte, threw five interceptions and also had a fumble. The usual starter, Marc Bulger, has destroyed fantasy football teams from coast to coast, and has more broken ribs than touchdowns.

7. Since the team no longer employs Kurt Warner, and failed to secure Jon Kitna in free agency, God has clearly forsaken them.

6. St. Louis owner Georgia Frontiere took ownership of the team after the mysterious drowning death of her husband, then ousted her stepson from the organization. She also moved the team from Los Angeles for corporate welfare from the city of St. Louis. Regardless of the team's recent Super Bowl win, you don't recover from karma like that.

5. The Rams have the only white starting back in the NFL, Brian Leonard, who gashed the Ravens today for 18 yards on 12 carries, with a long of 4. He's now splitting carries with Travis Minor. No, seriously.

4. The team's old nickname, the Greatest Show on Turf, has been officially designated as insulting to astroturf.

3. Both starting tackles, Todd Steussie and Orlando Pace, are on the IR. They are joined on the sideline by the starting QB (Bulger), RB (Stephen Jackson), 2nd WR (Issac Bruce), 3rd WR (Dante Hall)... and the list just goes on.

2. An anonymous Rams player was quoted this week as being worried about going winless. You think that maybe this doesn't bode well for the old confidence level, that with 10 games left to play, even the players are starting to wonder about going winless?

1. They'll be officially eliminated from playoff contention before Halloween. If this is the level of effort while they are still "alive", what happens when they no longer have anything to play for?
