Goff was outplayed by Rodgers according to some, which is weird considering Goff had more yards, 3 to 1 TD ratio and a better QBR. And he led a 4th qtr comeback. I don't buy the rattled thing either, I even read an article tonight on PFT that mentioned Rodgers being rattled in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.
The Rams scored 29 points and in reality it should have been 36. Against a defense that was rested and had 2 weeks to gameplan, but the offense looked off? OK
No one mentions the monster game Gurley had. Ran for 114 and caught another 81. Another ho hum 200 yard performance...
As far as the defense, they had a safety, 3 sacks and hit Rodgers 8 more times. And gave up 106 total rushing yards.
Peters looks lost in this defense, he cannot glare at Johnson for not having his man when he was busy covering the TE. And that dumb formation that resulted in the 33 yd TD run from Thompson better not be seen again. You cannot have your DTs lined up on the outside shoulder of the OGs and only 1 LBer (Littleton) to navigate all that space in-between (and he was not nosed up on the OC, but shaded to the OCs left) leaving no one to stop a RB until the 3rd level. It was like some weird Wide 9 look. Gross.
As far as the offense, the line struggled and without Kupp and the Packers basically dropping 6 and rushing 5 all game, it was difficult to pass, but I will give Goff credit, he hung in there.
As far as N.O. goes, double up Thomas and IDC if they have to run blitz to do it, but they cannot let Kamara and Ingram gash you up the middle. If it were me, I would move Littleton outside with Samson and let Ramik or Kiser man the inside next to Barron. But then again, what do I know.
