Free agency was catastrophic.

People think we'll come up with the Rams scheme...but the Rams have a really good offensive line. We have a bad one. If you put a bad line on the Rams, they would struggle too.

And on defense...our LB's are still bad.

You can't win in the NFL with 2 Bottom 5 position groups in the NFL.

Thing is, the Rams scheme is all about keeping the defense guessing about whether it's a run or a pass.  That helps the OL.  It's not like the old Bob Bratkowski offense where everyone knows what you're doing but it doesn't matter because they can't beat your OL.  

People also forget that when the Pats figured out that McVay had to hand hold Goff that the Rams OL was dominated to a man in the SB.  

Losing Williams was a huge blow, no two ways around it.  Losing Boling would also hurt, but he's also been pretty mediocre the past couple of years.  They didn't have trouble scoring points last year with a crap OL until skill players started dropping, though, so we'll see.
