If you have an aging QB that still has an effective arm and field management but isn't mobile, you don't invest in the defense. Our current Defense will keep 60% of NFL teams 20 points and under.
Problem is that every playoff team is in the other 40%. Rams gave up 30+ twice in three games this playoff.

One of those games there was a gift from the ST's..... So it was 1 of 3 games.

I have stated all season we have to score 30 plus to win (especially against good teams), and I don't see any difference next season, unless the defense is completely revamped which I don't see happening. We will field pretty much the same defense as last season and hopefully a years more experience will provide additional field awareness for some of the younger DB's.

Funny I clearly remember many here were rubbing their peckers and spouting how great our defense was last season, then Lake went down, then Adams went down and all of sudden I started seeing the below posts:

Shula has been exposed.....
Shula isn't head coach material.........
The Rams are not a Super Bowl Contender.........
McVay has been exposed without Adams......

McVay has become predictable.......

blah blah blah.

If the Rams offense stays healthy and we add another WR and some additional OL personel for Stafford, we will be knocking on the door for another Super Bowl..... And it wont be because of the defense or special teams.... It will be because of Stafford's arm.

We knocked on the door this year due to Stafford. We couldn't get thru the door with our secondary. It we don't improve the back end we will face the same fate again. Not a long list of Super Bowl winners who couldn't play good to great defense. How many Super Bowls did Miami's Dan Marino get them to? 1, and he lost. Magic arms don't win Super Bowls by themselves.
 
All I can say about the defense the last half of the year
