On the Rams final possession he missed Woods wide open and no pressure and on the very next play forced the ball deep to Kupp when he easily could have come off that read and found Wood wide-open over the middle. That would have put the Rams in FG range
Not seeing open receiversEvery quarterback misses open receivers. They only have one set of eyes and have to go through their progressions before letting a pass go. It’s always easier to see open targets from above, but Goff is too often throwing to covered receivers instead of hitting open ones that come across the middle of the field.
For example, on this third-and-short play, Goff doesn’t see Josh Reynolds come open on the drag route underneath, which would’ve picked up a first down. Instead, he left the pocket and threw the ball away, forcing the Rams to punt.
Later in the game, on the Rams’ final possession of the afternoon, he didn’t see Robert Woods come wide open over the middle. It was a third-and-5 situation, so a completed pass to Woods certainly would’ve picked up the first. It could’ve gotten the Rams into field goal range, too, with about two minutes to play.

Goff wasn’t under pressure, so it’s not as if he had to hurry the throw. If he takes another second to survey the field and come off a covered Cooper Kupp downfield, he hits Woods easily for a first.Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/02/2020 12:37PM by Speed_Kills.
