Re: Goff's getting a good sense of when to put the pedal to the medal

So, I won't get worked up about Goff looking out of sorts at time when the pressure was applied. .
Out of curiosity, is anyone "worked up" about that?
Here;s what I see instead.
I, like you, think it's quite accurate to say Goff looked "out of sorts at time when the pressure was applied."
I agree with you that that is an accurate and objective description of some of his play in the first half (though one key story of the game is that he came back from that and got rolling).
And, some people have said that. They said in various ways, like you and I do here, that Goff looked "out of sorts at time when the pressure was applied."
And they weren't "worked up" about it.
Then some people objected to them saying it, or how they said it, and so on.
It seems to me that what happened is that some got worked up about others saying it.
In each case, near as I can personally tell, they seem to be objecting to some ghost negativity. As if someone said (and no one did) that Goff looked "out of sorts at time when the pressure was applied" and that proves he's a bad qb or not developing or had a bad game or did something wrong or failed us.
None of which of course anyone said.
Which is what I say that to me, it looks like some got worked up about some ghost negativity. There was no such ghost negativity.
It's more like this.
Someone says, for a while there Goff like all qbs was a bit out of sorts under pressure.
And someone else says, hey ALL qbs are a bit out of sorts under pressure!
To which the first person says, yeah exactly and this time it was Goff. For a while anyway, then he came out of it.
And then a third party says, hey ALL qbs are a bit out of sorts under pressure, and this time it was Goff, so why get worked up about it.
When. No one did.
