Although the 49ers have the lesser of the two horrendous records, it's becoming evident that the two are headed in different directions this year. Surprisingly, it's the 49ers who are dead last in the NFL in total offense. The Rams were competing for that dubious distinction before they reeled off 37 points against the Saints last week. The Rams started the season 0-8, but the 49ers are hot on their heels having lost their last 7 in a row. Both the 49ers' running and passing games are unproductive and they are struggling to sustain any drives. On defense, they are struggling to stop the run and are allowing other teams to convert too easily on third down.
