New jerseys didn’t help the Jared Goff struggles on Thursday night against the Seahawks.

How they look in terms of attire is the least of their concerns.

Moving forward, the Rams must seriously consider how they’re going to build.

Will it be around Jared Goff? A running game? Better receivers?

Or none of the above and start from scratch?

The answer isn’t clear just yet, but their latest loss provided a blueprint for only more failure. Instead of sweeping Seattle, the Rams lost their second of such contests this season.

Going into halftime, the Rams were only down by a touchdown. In the second half, however, Los Angeles failed to get it together and never caught up.

Specifically, Goff completed only 13 of his 25 throws. Out of those passes, he only threw for 135 yards and no scores.

Maybe no interceptions this time is actually a good statistic?

Goff has been bad in the sense that we don’t know how good he actually is. During his college years, he knew how to shine.

His time in Los Angeles has been nothing short of a different story.

With the loss, the Rams lose their fifth consecutive game. The team also falls to 4-10 on the season, with two home games remaining — both against division rivals.

While the road ahead doesn’t look wonderful for the Rams, it’s the opposite for their opponent. Seattle has now clinched the NFC West division title, as the Cardinals won’t keep up even if they win out.

It helps shape the playoff picture, but the state of the team is still unknown. In all irony, not having Jeff Fisher around to blame anymore might be a harder place to be.

Whoever steps up next won’t make a serious impact until next season, though.

So let’s let this be our learning curve for Goff — it’s only fair.
