Los Angeles Rams fans are feeling *good* right now. After their Monday night win over the New York Giants, a whopping 90% of the fanbase is confident the team is heading in the right direction. Talk about a massive mood swing, seriously!
From Zero to Hero? Not So Fast.
Think about where they were just a week ago. Over two-thirds of those same fans had *zero* confidence after the Rams’ season-opening loss to the 49ers in Australia. That whole “travel experiment” was a bust from the jump, no question. It cost them early ground in the NFC West and the conference, setting them up for failure. So, a week later, after one win, everyone’s suddenly all in? It paints an overly optimistic picture, especially with a tough matchup against the Broncos looming.
Is This Real Confidence or Just a Sugar Rush?
Here’s the rub, though: was that Giants win really a measuring stick? The New York team was missing its starting quarterback for most of the game. Beating a short-handed opponent just means the Rams beat who they needed to, and frankly, that’s not exactly awe-inspiring. Some fans are already tapping the brakes, saying they’ll hold off on full confidence until after this weekend’s game in Denver. It’s smart to wait and see what they do against a real contender.
The Real Test Is About To Drop
The Rams have got their work cut out for them to truly win over that remaining fanbase and solidify that confidence. This week’s Sunday night showdown against the Broncos is just the start. After that, they face the Eagles and the Bills, all legitimate Super Bowl contenders. These next few games are the ultimate test for the Rams. They’ve gotta pass it if they want that confidence level to climb even further and prove they’re for real.
