Can you explain to me how the Rams D is "good"?

Loomis dodged a bullet not signing Suh.

The Rams can't stop the run, but the Saints can and DO. It's not only the defensive line of the Rams not staying home because they want to rush the passer all the time... but their LBs are not as good as the Saints' LBs. Did I really just type that? YES BECAUSE IT'S TRUE!

Head-to-head, if applicable. (For ties among three or more teams, this step is only applied if there is a head-to-head sweep; i.e., if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)
Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
Strength of victory (record of all the teams they defeated that season).
Strength of schedule (record of all the teams they played that season).
Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
Best net points in conference games.
Best net points in all games.
Best net touchdowns in all games

Forgot about the bye. Good. All is well.

Their home field advantage sucks too.
I think there is something off in the structure of the standings when we both have one loss, theirs to us, yet they are ahead of us.
Goes to show you how much a division loss hurts.

They are not ahead of us. We hold the number one seed at the moment.

I'm pretty confident that the Bears are going to beat the Rams. If the Rams get stuck in snow, they are screwed.

Also with Rueben Foster, via not drafting the guy. Some here wanted him.

Rams can't play in a real outdoor stadium... that's the narrative, right?
