Just saying.
Well I agree, if you mean what I think you mean, that this is just a "blip" on JG's trajectory. 3rd year qbs have games like that.
Plus here's what I see. And maybe it's just me but...what I see is a typical case of pressure breaking the protection, and the qb going down with it.
In fact that's Farr's take too fwiw. And to me Farr is the best film-watching analyst of the Rams, bar none.

And to respond in advance to one take on this, IF the protection breaks down in general, then, after a while, you don't need pressure on a particular play for pressure to be the cause of break downs. Once the qb loses confidence in his protection, then, he plays differently. Heaven knows we've seen Rams DLs, with both Quinn and Donald, do that to opposing qbs.
And part of the problem with the OL is that teams now know the Rams can't run. Not until TG is 100% again. So, it's easier to attack the protection.
....
Goff is one of the least sacked QB's in the league over the last couple of years so it's hard for me to understand how he's lost the faith this quickly.
It also doesn't really explain how he's had good games while getting sacked. Against Denver, GB & KC he was sacked 15 times(5 each) but put up 7 TD to 2 INT. Since then, in three games, he's been sacked a total of 7 times. Less than half of those previous three games yet now he's shell-shocked?
The point is, the protection the last 3 games hasn't been any worse than it's been throughout the year but Goff is the one who is different. Why he's different is the question that hasn't been answered IMO.
