The Rams were a very dysfunctional bunch for a long time; the infighting between Jay Zygmunt and Mike Martz and Charlie Armey and John Shaw and pretty much everyone else is a big part of the reason why the Rams team is in the sorry shape it is now. But things are better now. There's unity down at Rams Park, and a sense things are moving in the right direction, however slowly. Everyone from the top on down is moving in one direction now.
On the other hand, you look at Washington, and you've got what the Rams used to be: A coach being systematically stripped of his powers, an owner who just won't put down his copy of Al Davis' biography, an executive who ran the previous coach-in-waiting out of town, and a newly appointed play-caller who was playing bingo this team last month.
So yeah, the Rams are 0-6, and they're a really bad football team. But you know what? It could most definitely be worse.
