First-overall pick Jared Goff is reportedly getting an increased amount of practice reps, but his knowledge of an NFL offense is still in question. With games against New York, Miami, and New Orleans approaching, the time to throw Goff into the fire may be approaching. Fans can not continue to watch Case Keenum throw more interceptions than touchdowns. The Rams have been outscored by 34 points, and are looking for answers on offense. With Gurley not running as consistently as he did his rookie season, Jeff Fisher could be looking for an offensive spark. <p>Next week: Los Angeles comes off their bye week with a hot Panthers team rolling into town. Carolina had a dominant win the Cardinals, and showed their defense can disrupt the quarterback. Case Keenum has been sacked 16 times, a promising stat for the Panthers pass rush. If Ryan Kalil and Shaq Thompson are healthy, the Rams could have issues on both sides of the ball.</p> <p>Playoff hopes: Los Angeles sits in third place in the NFC West after the Cardinals tie gives Arizona a stronger winning percentage. You can not rule the Rams out of the playoffs just yet, but with questions across the roster, the chances are not great. It would be nice to see the playoffs return to Los Angeles for the first time since 1989.</p>. 3-4. Previous: . Los Angeles Rams. 28. team. 51
