Goff's got his work cut out for him, but nowhere to go but up.

3. The Rams were 7-9 WITH those kinds of numbers, so a modest improvement could mean quite a few more wins

This shows how close we really are.
Just like before last year, all we need is average qb play, to win a few more games.

In 2015, the Rams' Offense ranked:

32nd in passing yards
32nd in completions
31st in completion percentage (Colts)
32nd in passing TDs (11)
32nd in TD%
32nd in Yards/Pass Attempt (Y/A)
30th in Yards/Completion (Y/C)
32nd in Yards Per Game (175)
32nd in QB Rating (74.1)
31st in 4th QTR comebacks
32nd in Game Winning Drives

If our offense can just cut these stats in half,Imagine the affect it will have on our
defense.I would be interested to know where we ranked as far as offensive snaps.I'm
sure we were last or close to last.Raise the offensive snap counts to respectable
numbers and our defense becomes elite.

Excuse me...

Didn't you mean to say Kyle Super-Boller ?

My apologies - proper respect needed to be paid to our 2Nd starting QB of 2009. I guess he did marry Miss California 2009, so at least one of them won something that year...

Unbelievably bad passing game numbers.

I hope the Rams throw a little more on first down and mix things up. Run, penalty, run and 3rd and long. I know it's going to be heavy doses of the great Todd Gurley but, even he needs help with play calling.

I thought when I looked into the stats that the Rams actually passed more on first downs than they ran. Could be recalling wrong though.

So, so many plays left on the field. A recurring nightmare for 3 years.

.

Seems like they have 2 more wins just on Tavon punt returns called back for BS penalties.....

That seemed to be what I saw. I was constantly yelling at the TV to not be os 1) predictable 2) pass happy with no QB and 3) getting behind the chains so much

 

[OC_Ram]

Goff being a rookie with several rookie WR/TE will take some time to develop. However, I do expect we will see growth on the O this year. Temper your expectations fellas, it's coming.

Y'know... I think we kinda are. I'm not arguing with you because I agree with this. But it seems most are expecting moderate improvement and growth. How many wins is that worth considering what the team did last season? Seems to me at minimum that is another 2 or 3 wins. The Steelers, Ravens, Viqueens, and 2nd Whiner games could have all been wins with just slightly - and I do mean slightly - better offensive production.
