ShopRobinson can't seem to get separation at all and is likely not on the same page with Stafford yet (will he ever be?). Missing Bobby Trees...
Rams lost Ebukam and Miller on back to back days in March. They really needed to lock up Miller.
OL has multiple injuries already and lost their LT to retirement. Regression has to be expected, and without a 1st or 2nd rounder (and the season-ending injury to their 3rd round pick Bruss), they couldn't reload in a quick fashion. In fact, only Kendrick (and Arcuri if elevated) have been of any use from this year's draft class.
The physical differences between Atwell and Deebo are IMMENSE. Deebo has 50lbs on Tutu.
Goff has a two-headed quality running game behind an emerging OL and has played the #1 defense (Eagles), but also the #27 (Vikings), #30 (Commies), and Seahawks (#31) and have only managed one win vs Washington. Their own defense (last) keeps them chasing points all game long. The Rams have faced the Niners (3rd), Bills (#5), Cards (19th), and Falcons (29th). They beat the bad defenses, and were handled by the strong defenses. A little perspective is helpful. Let's also remember the Rams have lost to the Niners in 6 straight regular season games and have been held to 10 pts or less in 3 of those losses. This is a horrible matchup for the Rams, largely due to Shanahan and McVay's shared history coming up.
You can’t just easily brush off what Goff is doing in Detroit, when he’s doing things not even Stafford did in Detroit.

Goff has led the Lions to 140 points this season, the most in team history over their first four outings. He can't save a defense allowing 141. The quarterback's touchdown count (11) sits tied with Mahomes and Lamar in the throwing department. He still activates the occasional time bomb (i.e., Sunday's pick-six), but Goff lobs beauties weekly. He put up 378 yards and four touchdowns against the Seahawks with D’Andre Swift, Amon-Ra St. Brown, D.J. Chark, Jonah Jackson and Halapoulivaati Vaitaiout of the lineup.
