With the Rams finally playing Game 1 of the regular season, and especially after four exhibition games that were pretty uneventful, what we see beginning tomorrow remains somewhat unknown.

How much better will Jared Goff be in 2017?

Can Todd Gurley turn it around after his “sophomore slump?”

Will Sammy Watkins be the deep threat that is the game changer Los Angeles has been desperate for?

One thing is for sure, the Rams are out of excuses, making Week 1 almost “must win.”
