I think it was a couple of years ago the Rams were the first team to go to the playoffs with a losing record. I think the Viqueens went that year too. My Rams have been so average for so long I don't even remember anything after 2001.
I'm sure the ownership is looking at what incentives would have to be paid out before ordering the coach to lose.... Some teams just don't want to win.
Defense wins championships. Run defense is more important that pass defense. (unless you're playing the Rams
)
