Yup, he delivered against the Saints. Didn't play well against the Cowboys or Patriots, but he did his job against the Saints and was a big reason why we won that game. I'm glad he turned things around in Detroit and hope it continues. Because he sucked so much as a rookie, he never got the credit he deserved here. And while the breakup was necessary and we ended up better for it (at least in the short term), the way the media treated him really sucked.
To me the SB was more of a coaching thing and he couldn't overcome it as the Pats scheme then got in his head as a result of McVay not responding.
Goff was a topic when it was posted in here about his contract and possible negotiations. Then somebody had to shit on him as usually happens.
Definitely 100% agree with that I was talk purely ability but yes absolutely just like the shit narrative rams getting now from teams who can't win shit so they throw stones. Colts have no business speaking when they pinch pennies and win shit and the bills please you started to emulate the rams then nobody wanted to really go there beside Von for a dumb deal and you couldn't lure anyone else now it's convenient you tell fan base "we don't want to do wt rams did" hmmmm what's that win a chip????? You wish (bills) you could or could have done that at least once fans are starved for a chip. Such a load of crap. On the goff thing definitely agree you nailed it that would of been the narrative for sure "bust"
Not sure you can say he didnt play well against the Cowboys. They ran for 250 yards...didn't need him.
He was 11 of 21 in the first half with 4 drops. Plus he had inside pressure in face on practically every pass play. This was the game Belichick probably designed the SB game plan around.
Gurley and Anderson weren't as effective, and Goff had a good game. Has anyone said otherwise?
By the 2nd half it was obvious they had to stop the passing game and they couldn't.
So obvious that the Rams still used a lot of play action (run threat) passes that were effective.
Absolutely the Detroit line is good. And, absolutely, the better the oline, the better the QB. (Exhibit A: Matt Stafford last year. ) I would venture to say that most outstanding offensive teams with high performing qbs also have high performing o-lines. But the qb still has to play at a high level to make the offense work.
Or you could raise another "what if" hypothetical.
It was his 2nd yr
And yet they were blitzing Goff, who made two great throws to unload it in the flats on the winning fg drive.
Thanks, you're correct.
Course agreed just different skill sets play even better behind those lines but yea I agree.
