SunTzu_vs_Camus
while the offense HAS been...the defense has NOT been this year sans a few plays to close out a game.
The defense is not even middle of the road. imo
The way we've won is cuz the offense can score & score...until it can't...then, we lose.
I really thot the defense would be Top 10...and it is really a porous defense. I love those guys but they are not playing to their ability cept for
AD, JJ, Littleton...that's it.
It was a failed attempt to assemble a Championship D. Many pundits thought the D would be better than the offense this year. But it was far from it.
I'm not sure why it didn't work. But clearly guys like Suh and Brockers have been huge disappointments. For some reason the hunger is just not there in many of these guys.
The offense was carrying the bad defense for many weeks and now the clock has run out on them.
With Gurley hurt, the OL looking exhausted and worn down, Goff is getting overloaded. He's just not ready to carry an entire team on his back. And losing his security blanket in Kupp has made it even harder on him.
Unless the OL and Gurley make rapid recoveries, I expect the Rams will be one and done in the playoffs.
