I'm more optimistic about a first year winning record than you are, Paul. Big surprise, huh?
Somewhere between 8-10 wins this year.
I see improvements everywhere I look.
Too many to itemize, really. But the cumulative effect could be substantial.
It all comes down to how they protect and develop Goff. He's the X factor, no doubt.
Anyway...
I'm optimistic. I think a 10-6 record is an achievable goal.
Goff must have impressed you more than me as a rookie. I see a lot more development time than you do on his horizon.
You are that confident the OL and WR/TE corps are that greatly improved already? I don't know about that.
You think Wade Phillips will come in right away and have his Rams newly implemented 3-4 up and running immediately with the current personnel that does have holes to fill?
I`d be ecstatic with an 8-8 with a new coaching staff after last seasons 4-12 season under Fisher. That`s 100% more wins than last season and the future looking bright. There was never a future with Fisher and many of us here knew that long before he was finally fired.
Truth is no one has any idea.
Yes that defense can be playing at a pretty high level regardless of perceived holes.
The wildcards are Goff and the OL. If they click at a decent level, not a top level even just a decent level, then yes they can win this year.
But no one's guess about whether that will happen means much right now. People don't know.
Which means there will be a range of views. Everyone is just guessing. Which is fine. That;s why I read boards, to see the different views.
...
Of course its all predictions, and I`m predicting once again the Rams will NOT finish above .500% in 2017.
I`ll take that action every day if you want to bet against me. Just PM me
