I believe it was the first TD drive he would have walked in the end zone with a clean pass but instead he threw it near the ground and Higs had to dive for it

Still yet moklerman has a point... Goff definitely tensed up...got tight after the ints. Starting pressing... He had all the time in the world to do whatever he wanted but clearly the first half Goff was better than the 2nd half Goff

Not sure why people have to try and act like that wasn't the case

I wasn't quite sure about that pass. At first glance, it seemed to be too low but on replay, I think it was more a case of Higbee losing his footing.

It was sort of bizarre. Goff was throwing wobbler after wobbler but they were very accurate. Like others, I thought he was back to his '17-'18 self. Then he had two turnovers in a row to open the 2nd half and the Rams went run-heavy. Reminded me of that playoff game against Carolina where Martz lost confidence in Bulger and became very unaggressive. It seemed like McVay wanted to really continue piling on to the scoreboard last night but after the two turnovers, started to just take the air out of the ball.

Now, I agree that in some ways what they did was prudent. With a lead you just try and run the clock. But it got to the point where McVay was willing to run, run, run, punt and let the defense win the game. Which I don't feel was his primary intention. He wanted to keep scoring but couldn't trust the offense to not turn the ball over and give momentum to the Seahawks.

A win is a win so there is no complaint on that front but IMO, McVay had to "settle" because he couldn't trust his QB to not continue to turn the ball over. Which wasn't a problem with a big lead and a dominating defense but it's disappointing that the Rams couldn't take advantage of being in such a good position. Overall, the game was a positive one and cause for optimism but that third quarter was very disappointing. To come out of halftime that poorly could be costly in a closer game.

Your "objective" analysis, right?
