I'm having the same exact reaction and thoughts that I have several years ago when you posted that the Rams were going to win 10 games and go to the playoffs. I was quite negative and pleasantly wrong! Maybe that's a good sign for the Rams!
Everything tells me that this year will as bad, if not worse than last year. But I'm also very optimistic about 2024 and I think we'll have a shot at the playoffs then and depending on Stafford maybe even the SB again.
We are blessed to have such a good coach and football org. now.
