I think if they don't get stricken with massive injuries, they will easily slingshot back up... But I still think the Rams misjudged their OL. Even if the OL had stayed healthy, I don't see Noteboom as someone I want to protect the franchise's blindside. And I think they need to eat some crow and admit their plan coming into the season was flawed.

But either way, a healthy Rams team next year is a playoff team if it remains intact... and of course the skill players will be a year older. So to me the window is closing. And I don't think the current defense works without Donald.
