Robinson Shouldn’t Complain About Schedule

The Rams again close the regular season at San Francisco and Coach John Robinson whines about it (Dec. 13). But Robinson’s complaints about the schedule are poppycock.

Bud Grant, a real football coach, took the opposite approach. When he coached the Minnesota Vikings, Grant said the importance of early games was underrated.

Robinson’s Rams couldn’t beat the 49ers at Anaheim when the Rams were 5-1 and San Francisco was 4-2.

That game was just as important as the final game.
