The regular season is about laying points on people and racking up enough wins to get to the real season. Postseason survival requires defense though, and teams with strong defensive production in the regular season tend to do pretty well once things tighten up a bit on the way to the SB. So there is some truth in saying the Rams are not there yet in terms of being the team they need to be in order to run the table.
Defense has to get better. I think it will, if we get Talib back in a reasonable time. But it is a concern, and I have no problem recognizing that.
Good thing here, though, is that we're 4-0 and in the driver's seat for home field. And there's time for the staff to get these guys settled down if they can avoid further injury and get some guys back to who they were.
Oh and all that aside, yeah, Bayless can suck it. Dude is a douchenozzle.
