The rams came in at number 27 in the worst offseason in football according to ESPN. That means only 5 teams had a worse offseason, and what’s the reasoning behind that? The Rams didn’t address the oline and instead drafted another wr.
makes sense, of course some media expect the rams to go deep in the playoffs also.

Well... it’s no doubt a knee jerk statistical rating based on Rams’ admitted salary cap limitations causing them to lose players and lack of high draft picks. But it fails to consider the strength of the roster, acquisitions of Stafford and speed receivers, and potentially very strong actual draft. Not to mention addition by subtraction of inconsistent players.

Not like they had to sign Bell, Clayton and Bennett to stay under the cap #bluefontintended

Who did they lose that was inconsistent?

How'd that one go? Lol. Nothing to see here nor there. ESPN writers are dopes and wouldn't know an objective free thinking prediction if it bit them in the ass. They're job is to give the casual fan what they want to see & hear. Big names, twitter drama and big market teams.

Rams significantly upgraded at the most important position on an already loaded roster. If Chicago, Pittsburgh, New England, Dallas or New York had landed Stafford ESPN would have ranked them in the top 5 and slobbered about it all summer.

Hasn’t the off-season still got quite a way to go? What a load of bollocks

The truly hilarious part was hearing the “experts” overwhelmingly pick the Lakers after game 3, with some doubting the sun’s ability to win another game, then totally flip when the Lakers showed themselves to be a paper tiger. And the stats were coming fast and furious; Lebron’s Lakers have never lost in rd 1, Lakers have a winning record being down 3-2, Brady can do it so can Lebron.
I can only guess the media response, age and injury doomed the Lakers, the front office failed Lebron again, hilarious.

The problem was - the "experts" were finally seeing a fairly healthy Lebron and Davis after game 3 and then Davis got hurt in game 4.

Lakers need both Lebron and Davis to be a very good team.

One goes down - and they become an average team.

The only time I have watched ESPN in the past 15 years is when there is a game on that channel and then I use the mute button, Those guys are a bunch of Jack asses, except for Warner of course.

A year ago we downsized to just 10 al-la-carte channels on Spectrum, and ESPN didn't make the cut. I haven't missed it once,
