How are the 49ers not #1??? Doesn’t the author know that Garapolo is the greatest qb in the history of forever?
You need to take away the 49ers game. In 15 games our starting offense averaged 27.3 ppg.Minus the Defensive Touchdowns and the Special Teams Touchdowns, the tale of the tape gives us another view.

@Florida_Ram what conclusions do you draw from those stats? Right off the bat I'd say the Chargers don't belong ahead of the Rams, nor Green Bay.
It was more about understanding others views than specific conclusions Elm...
I posted some of the offensive statistics and benchmarks that are reviewed by several NFL pundits when they breakdown who their top 10 offensive ranked teams.
Several respected in the NFL media prefer not to only use the Total Points Scored combined with the special teams and defensive points that supplement that category.
I myself wouldn't trade the Rams offense for any other teams going into the 2018 season.
I also can relate to why some of the NFL media buffs think our 2017 offense might have been a little overrated and that's why they don't crown the Rams as the best offense in 2017.

I am not saying the Rams should be on the top of he list, but there are at least two teams on there that I just can't understand how they are rated higher than the Rams.
