Sheetal is a word that is somewhat of a demeanor in a very material and demanding world, and it is what has been used this season to describe La Rama. But I'm not buying it. At least not. Perhaps we, as a fan base, are expecting a lot from this team, and the fact is that this group has done well again.
I'm not trying to sugarcoat anything here. But why is no one making a big deal out of the fact that this LA Rams team just won their third NFC West Division title in the past five seasons under head coach Sean McVay? During that period, the Seattle Seahawks have won the division title once, and the San Francisco 49ers have won the division title once. As for the Arizona Cardinals? They were close this year but failed.
At the end of the season, this team is ranked ninth in terms of yards received. And the Rams scoring offense is the eighth-ranked offense in the NFL. In crude terms of defensive performance, the Rams were the 17th-rank defense in terms of yards allowed, and the 15th-rank defense in terms of points surrendered.
In terms of special teams? Ram made serious reforms. While his kick return performance fell short in the 23rd-ranked unit in the NFL, punt returns made it into the fifth-ranked unit, no doubt driven by Brandon Powell's late-season heroism.
The Rams field goal unit was ranked second in the NFL in terms of accuracy. The only punting unit remained one of the NFL's worst, ending the season as the 26th-placed unit at gross punting yards. However, after factoring in the return yards, The Rams finished the season as the 10th ranked net punting unit.
