the St. Louis Rams had their worst season since the 80's,when they lost something like eighteen games in a row,to the San Francisco 49ers,and since they were in,maybe,Cleveland... they lost running back Steven Jackson to injury,for most of the season,and their receiving corps was pathetic,and quarterback Sam Bradford played only ten games,threw only six touchdown passes,along with six interceptions,and their offense was unable to get points at critical times,losing to the Green Bay Packers,in week six,last year,24-3,at Lambeau Field,even though Sam Bradford threw for 320+yards,and Steven Jackson ran for 96 yards,but honestly,the Rams got hit with injury,very hard,shortly after the game with Green Bay,and Bradford never got back into the groove,mentally,and physically... in his second year,Bradford who had a very good rookie year,had a sophomore slump,and the injury bug bit hard,to make 2011-2012,miserable,for him...
the defense actually did not play that badly,but they could not stop the pass,and did stop the run adequately,but they did allow 407 points,and the offense scored only 193 points overall-a two hundred,and fourteen point difference... they made a blockbuster deal for the second pick,with the Washington Redskins,so they rebuilt their team,via the draft,this off-season... they lost their defensive coordinator,to the NFL "bounty" scandal(Greg Williams)... they should be better on offense,and with nice draft picks,they should be better,on defense,and they will have a better record,than last year's 2-14... how much better,is the question that will ring true,in St. Louis,this season... unfortunately,they play every team in the NFC North,including the Packers,at home,October 21st,plus the 49ers,twice,in their division,so they are in for tough times...
