Rams Rumors: Five bold predictions for the 2017-18 season
By Jason Reed
The Los Angeles Rams look to avoid their sophomore slump in the city of Los Angeles. According to these Rams rumors, what are five things we can expect in 2017?
The Los Angeles Rams did not have a great return to their home in Southern California. For the tenth straight season the Rams posted a losing record, back peddling from their 7-9 record to a 4-12 record. The team looked great early as well. After a disappointing blowout against the 49ers in week one, the team marched their way to a 3-1 record.
This 3-1 start included the Rams picking up a win over the Seahawks, Buccaneers, and Cardinals. Then, Case Keenum and Jeff Fischer remembered who they were and the Rams finished the year a measly 1-11. The only win outside of the first four games was a lackluster 9-6 wins over the already bad New York Jets.
It’s apparent, the Rams were pretty awful last season. However, with a new system in place under new head coach Sean McVay, and Jared Goff with full reign, 2017 may not hold the same narrative. Especially with a new rivalry in town with the Los Angeles Chargers, we may see a drive from this Rams team that we did not see last season.
At the end of the day, whether it is a one-game improvement or a ten-game improvement, this Rams team will bounce back from their rough first season. Exactly how well they do will be discussed later in this slideshow, but just know that this Rams team may surprise people in 2017.
Therefore, with all that now out of the way, let’s make five bold predictions for the Rams season in regards to the latest Rams rumors.
