I'm hoping as much as anything McVay is sensing that against certain teams possibly or in certain environments that it isn't wise to think Goff can pass his way out of a funk. When the kid is playing bad he tends to stay bad or below average.
Whether Chicago was taking away the run or not is irrelevant if Goff is playing poorly. If you run it consistently in a game like that Gurley will bust loose some, you will avoid turnovers, you will speed up the game, and ultimately it may open up something in the play action.
Just incredibly poor play calling in a game such as that. And Goff scares the sh*t out of me going forward in high pressure games. I'm just not sure about him when the rubber meets the road.
