From the episode

Something that's been bothering me about the Rams was their lack of separation for wide receivers. They have the lowest average separation to their pass catchers in the NFL at just 3.0 this season. Now, I looked at it last year. They were also the lowest in the NFL at 3.1. So it's basically the same offense. The only difference is Matthew Stafford was playing at an insanely accurate MVP level last year, and he's not this year.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Stafford's accuracy decline compounds Rams' receiver separation problem.

The Rams have the lowest average separation for pass catchers in the NFL at 3.0 yards this season, matching their 3.1 average from last year. The key difference: Matthew Stafford played at an 'insanely accurate MVP level' last year, but is not playing at that level this year. This small margin for error has now become a big margin for error for the Rams offense, making it 'incredibly difficult every single week' despite winning against Philadelphia.
