I'm taking it! 250 isn't that much and we have some really good running backs and our O line is much improved. Take it, Baby!

Leave it.
I See about 10 games out side our division that it will/could be done.
Those other 6 division games will be tough.

Leave it. I would be happy with 350, but more importantly I want to see 25 points a game.

I want it, but gotta leave it.

In another division this might be a little more fathomable.

Not in the NFC west.

No one in this division will average 400 a game.

400 YPG? Who cares, instead, average 28 or more points per game and things will take care of themselves.

We won't have that many rushing yards. 3500 passing is expected if Bradford stays healthy, but that's alot of rushing yards when your starter averages 3.9 yards per carry.

Agree with this, if the interior of our OL is decimated to the point that we're playing with 3 backups against the league's number 1 D then that will fuck the average too much.

I doubt we'll be able to reach those milestones, not with the defences we'll be up against in the toughest division in the NFL - I do expect us to have a few big games this year because i know we can! but I agree with @ramsince62 I'd go for more points per game than high offence stats...

I've gotta leave it too. This O isn't built to march up and down the field all game long and rack up a ton of points and yardage.

Being realistic, leave it.

But the homer in me says TAKE IT

I say if we can average 350, we'll be just fine. I really don't care how many yards we get as long as we put the damn ball in the endzone. We finally started getting TD's last year instead of FG's, and I expect that trend to continue.

In a vacuum it sounds reasonable. 250 passing? Easy. 150 Rushing? Tough, but not impossible. 4000 yards passing and 2400 yards rushing in one season?
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
would be very tough to accomplish, but if the Rams are going anywhere when the playoffs get here, it almost has to be done. I believe very possible, our D is going to give offense a lot of help with short fields

Only times a Fisher team has topped 5,500 yards:

2003 5,501
2009 5,623

Yeah I don't think were putting up 6,400.

Agree.

I don't care if they average 75 yards per game (the defense forced four turnovers within the opponents 20 yard line and scored twice on their own :)).

Just score close to 25 as a team every game and I think that's a formula for success.
