Twas the Night Before Christmas, LA Rams Version

With the holiday season here, I thought it would be good to spread a little Christmas cheer with a new take on an old classic. Enjoy the victory today, Los Angeles Rams fans, and Happy Holidays!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and throughout the Coliseum,

It was a nightmare, surely a terrible bad dream.

No points could be found, no touchdowns, or wins,

Oh if only Jeff Fisher had taken the job with the ‘Fins.

Demoff did what he should and let Fisher go,

We had fallen on hard times, this was no “Greatest Show.”

As the interviews happened, you heard people say,

He came on board and brought along Wade for the D,

Fans had hope, but that was nothing new,

This new group had to prove this good feeling was true.

Several more in the draft; this offense had the goods.

Then it came time for a new season to play,

LA hosting Indy showed that it was a new day.

The defense pitched in too, they were ready to go.

The ensuing weeks would see more wins,

Each week getting better, looking to playoffs at season’s end.

Five wins through October, Eight by December first.

Only non-losing season since 2003 leads to quite a thirst.

FanSided

The top offense in the league, Gurley and a new Goff,

Multiple weapons and schemes, this offense took off.

They were here to show they were ready for the NFC playoff battle.

Then on Christmas Eve, they went to Titans,

Showed that this team was not yet done fightin’.

They played hard and won, getting win number eleven;

Rams fans used to losing had to ask, could this be heaven?

Teams knocked out of the playoffs would have the spirit of a Grinch,

But it seemed a good day for the Los Angeles Rams to clinch.

NFC West champs, first time since ‘03,

This was the Rams team fans wanted to see.

It is a new day for the Rams and McVay,

There is not much more for this young coach to say.

So he says to the team as they turn in for the night—

Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
