If the Lions hold SF to 23, Goff needs to win that game on offense. But you know that the Detroit crowd helped to hold those pts down.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
It's a team game, in the end. Goff doesn't play defense.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe just a clarification, once more, on Goff. I don't think he's the greatest. I don't know if he will ever win a Superbowl. So much has to go right. Some great QB's never did, and some average ones did. My position has always been that there are narratives about Goff that are exaggerated, or have become outdated. And that he's not garbage. I saw predictions on this board after theby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff doesn't stir the blood of the fans. He's not going to bail nimbly out of the pocket, shrug off a tackler, make another scramble, and then suddenly stop and find a receiver who has managed to get open during all of that. And that's the kind of play that makes us all jump off the couch. Not Jared. You're right. He's awkward and goes down easily if rushers get to him. But he hasn't stby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
Here's some more stats to discount and explain away.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
The Lions fans were practically all in on the Rams winning the Super Bowl in the 2021 season. The Lions were still a bad team at that point, 3-13-1, and had nothing of their own to cheer for, but they temporarily adopted the Rams. Because of Matt Stafford, of course, but they did it. And they were happy then to enjoy a little, tiny bit of reflected glory when the QB that had given his alby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
That's about what I'm good for in these retirement days - blasting from my past. Thanks.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
If by, "the game", you mean Lions at 9ers, well I have a lot of thoughts. Here's the short version: I give the Lions a 30% chance. They need to stop the run, which they usually do, and then hope that their terrible cornerbacks can get enough help from their safeties and enough LUCK to hang on. Offense needs to run, and run. I don't think Lions can pass block the niners for veryby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com

I saw posts (on another board) where the poster was hoping before the game that the Rams would go after LaPorta's bad knee and take him out. That fan doesn't represent ram fans in general.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams would be right where they are now, but without that '21 ring. Thanks, Jaquiski!by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com

But IMO, if McVay was coaching the way he is right now and had that Detroit team, he'd be 0-10-1 right along with Goff. Or with Stafford.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
They cut people left and right, basically they're like an expansion team. Take a look at their starting WR's. Jefferson would be the best receiver on that team by a mile. And it doesn't look like that coaching staff is going to survive. Goff isn't lifting them, but he's not the major problem there either. But if it makes people feel better to point and laugh at Goff while the Rams arby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com

It was McVay dumping all his own shortcomings on Goff on the way out the door. That is now revealed, as CW said.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
All I can say is...when you get rid of one QB for turnovers and pick sixes, and brag about how NOW the offense can really be unleashed. And then the new mvp candidate QB starts throwing a string of pick sixes, there's something else wrong at the heart of this offense. Does it rhyme with no way?by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
I remember being in the minority on this trade. I didn't waste any time trying to defend Goff's play, but I was NEVER sold on Stafford, and especially the price they paid for him. What did the doubters get? Ah, they were told they had Goff baggage. They got "sigh". They were told how wrong they were going to be shown. They were told they must want to go back to 2-14.

Narrative before Akers injury: One reason Stafford didn't win in Detroit is that they never gave him the support of a solid run game. Narrative after Akers injury: Even if the Rams have to lean more on the passing game, it'll be ok because Stafford.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
The Lions only won 5 games with Stafford last year, so by your logic how could anybody believe in him? This will be interesting. I know you deny it, but to justify the trade and make it worth what the Rams gave up in picks, Stafford has to take the Rams farther than Goff (superbowl), and the Lions have to be even worse than last year. If Stafford gets hurt, or doesn't significantly impby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
I have been getting a lot more fond of your posts over the last 6 months. And I'm not saying that because of what you just said. I should have said it before this. We have clashed pretty hard, or at least I clashed hard. But I feel a new wind blowing.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
