a reasonable expectation

I'd love to jump into the top 10-15 in the league too. But a more reasonable expectation could be adding 5 ppg and 60 ypg. If the Rams do that they're still in that 26th-28th range. Shows you just how bad they were a year ago.

To get into the top 15 they'd have to improve by almost 10 ppg and 100 ypg.

But the Rams could very well be 'in the hunt' in December with a solidly top 10 defense and offense that's at least not in the bottom 5.
