I hear you...but I guess what about the coaching staff or players leads us to believe we will not be a penalty machine? We generally are a penalty machine. And Mike McCarthy announces AFTER the season that is something he will address!!!
BingoNo idea. Don't have the full roster in front of me yet.
It appears we aren't trying to get better. They want to march out the same team minus a few key players, and with the draft picks. That isn't going to make us significantly better. It isn't enough to get over the hump. We look one and done, again. Things can change, but it looks unlikely at this point.
They watch the Star more closely. This is just speculation, but consider the evidence. Remember that eight game stretch where our opponents didn’t receive even ONE holding penalty? How many times have we seen a game altering play in our favor negated by a timely subjective penalty? They keep track of the sheer number of penalties (of which we’re not #1), but why not the timing of those flags? I’d bet the farm Dallas is #1 THERE!I think the players we parted ways with will help fix the penalty problem, at least to an extent. MM his self isn't a penalty problem. In fact GB was always one of the least penalized teams with MM. More than anything that star on the helmet appears to lead towards more penalties.

Exactly, and how many times have we seen our pass rushers blatantly held, and NOTHING was called?During that stretch we also led the league in QB pressures, which makes it even more ridiculous.
To say the least! We were 3-5 against non-NFC East teams. The three wins were against marginal teams.You are right....we won 12 games. How many of those were against good teams? The NFC East is not a good measuring stick
Even if we had a great draft, would still need depth like Fehoko, Farniok, Ball, Cox, Gholston to become relevant quickly and become key contributors asap.It appears we aren't trying to get better.

On paper, none.We played a NFC West team in the playoffs...and it was not even close. When you think about how EASILY we beat up on the NFC East...and contrast that with how EASILY we were beaten by a team from the NFC West...a team that is not even the best team from the NFC West...beaten in our own stadium...what is there to be optimistic about? Our amount of cap room? The amount of mid-round picks we are piling up? How on earth does the Jones family expect us to maintain any respect for them. Or how many times do they have to tell us "we don't care" before we start believing them?!?!?!?!
- A QB that I project to be the same
- The TE position I project to be the same
- A RB group that got WORSE (you don't get better at this position by getting older)
- A WR corps that got WORSE (you don't get better by releasing your best WR and replacing him with and UNPROVEN Cee Dee Lamb and a WR that will not even be ready to start the season)
- An OL that got WORSE - Tyron Smith is NOT getting better. I hope Martin stays the same. The LG is vacant. Our starting C is a backup. And the RT is average with his ceiling being "above average" (notice I did not say good, great, or excellent).
I am asking you that. You are not impressed with Dallas’ 12 wins. Go look at who the Rams beat.
They beat the Cardinals, Bucs, 49ers, and Bengals when it mattered.
The Cowboys played terrible against good teams more often than they played well. The end.I was just talking the regular season. The Rams did beat some good teams in the playoffs and the Cowboys did not. Dallas needed to play better at the end of the season and did not. The Rams did. That was the point I was trying to make before I realized I was conversing with a troll.

Y’all do this crap every year…Rams will either be a borderline playoff team or miss it completely.
