4-6 and still in it (so far)

So it is week 12 and we are officially into the last quarter of the season. This is where berths are made and squandered. This is where we start developing the playoff picture. This is the beginning of the 4th quarter.
Unfortuantely for the Rams, Fourth quarter play isnt their forte this year. The Rams are 4-6, 1 game out of 1st in the nfc west, and not exactly in control of their destiny, but definately have a huge hand in it. A Rams win and a seahawks loss this weekend would put the rams into a 1st place tie going into week 13. This could be very interesting as far as the nfc west title is concerned seeing as 3 of the last 6 games are vs division opponents. Now if the rams have any hopes of playoffs this year (and they damn well should) they MUST win their division, finishing second behind any record the sehawks manage isnt going to earn them a wild card. I honestly cant sit here and believe that i am writing about a playoff picture potentially including my team. I mean a team who hasnt gone 500 in half a decade. A team who won literally a handful-plus-one of games in THREE years. Now were talking about playoffs? BUT....and that is a very big but. Im talking wisonsin "butt". not only do we need to win AT LEAST 4 games, we need to win AT LEAST two of them on the road, a feat we have yet to accomplish. I keep talking to defensive players in the clubhouse that give the broken record answer of "we'll get past it...winning on the road doesnt define us as a team" yada yada.
Boys, Ive got some nes for you. Winning on the road does however define your record, and you need at least an 8-8 to even think about dreaming about being in the playoffs. we have a good way to start things off on the final stretch. We play a less than spectacular denver club in denver and if we play our cards right we could be looking at a 1st place standing by this monday. We shall see....but the work doesnt stop there. We play the saints, then cardinals, then chiefs. if we dont take care of business, the only christmas present we might be recieving is preseason tickets for next august. LETS DO IT!!!
RAMS CHARGE!!
