This petition business gets even more laughable to me in the wake of yesterday's game. The Rams played to their ability, doing the things they're well-compensated to do, and simply lost to a better team. No shame in that. But reading a few notes around the internet citing the players giving their for Haslett all on the heels of this ridiculous petition takes away some of the luster from yesterday's game. As I said yesterday, the time for this "O Captain! My Captain!" business was week eight, not week seventeen.
Nothing against Haslett, but what exactly do you think would happen if the front office rewards this kind of play by giving any merit to the players' petition.
Another question. How many games would the Rams have won if they'd played like that throughout the season? I'd say 7 or 8, but we wouldn't get the luxury of another high draft pick.

I disagree...
There’s nothing luxurious
-or remotely comforting-about a high draft pick. I get what you’re saying, but…Rob in Denver - December 29, 2008
Nothing?
The chance to remake a franchise? To leave the disappointments of the past in the past? To give hope to thousands? To invigorate a city and the scores of fans around the globe of a given team? To reignite the spark of belief that runs true every preseason – that any team could win?
I guess you’re right…

7 or 8?
You sure have a different recollection of this season than I do. Mine is that the only losses that were even close, besides the N.E. game were the last three in which Jackson did play. I know there were a couple of others that were close until the 4th quarter so maybe you want to give us wins over the Giants and Bills plus N.E. but where do you get the other 2 or 3?
