Are the lions really as bad as they seem?

Fair points. The Rams pass defense has absoultely turned it around under Haslett, and with Donnie Avery finding a niche in the offense, maybe there is hope for a Bulger rebound as well.

And yeah, the Cowboys at top health are much stronger than the Cowboys are right now, but still, the Eagles all but beat them in Texas Stadium at full health. So if Philly>than 100% health Cowboys, and the Rams were way worse than Philly, but then got a lot better and now are (arguably) better than the Cowboys, I still think it's more Cowboys got worse than Rams got good.

But I agree with you that they met somewhere in the middle.
