My point has been and will remain that the defense played poorly but the offense couldn't cover thier slack. The defense did it for them allll year long. If you wanna claim that the whole body of work is discounted by a single game then be my guest. But my retort is that the offense couldn't help out as they failed to do so all year. We can agree to disagree. No harm no foul

The way I look at it is the offense did not play well in at least half the games. The defense did not play well in 6 games. They had 4 games in common (both SF games, the Jets and the second Seattle game). On 3 of the other 4 bad offensive games, the Rams won 3, thanks to the defense. In 2 of the other games the defense played bad, the Rams won 1. So the defense pulled the offense over the line more than the offense pulled the defense over the line. But the Green Bay game? That's gotta be put on the defense.

  Michael Brockers: Matthew Stafford is ‘a step up’ from Jared Goff...

  He's being modest if you ask me . Nm

  what former Rams qb is Stafford NOT a cut above? ...lol

Saguaro711March 06, 2021 07:42AM

  I actually disagree here.

Ram_Ruler350March 06, 2021 07:53AM

  the offense was not "hot and cold" the OL got beat

zn258March 06, 2021 08:24AM

  The line definitely had 4 or so bad games

  But pressure wasn't always high for goff.

  Obviously, I'm talking about what happened in Green Bay, not their ranking for the season.

Saguaro271March 06, 2021 08:07AM

  If being the number one defense all season is a mirage after one playoff game

Ram_Ruler198March 06, 2021 08:31AM

  It equals what you said. It's mediocre, but that doesn't excuse the defense.

Ram_Ruler399March 06, 2021 08:33AM
