agree for sure.....
I was pondering this question yesterday....let's say the defense played like it did vs Seattle against Green Bay and we went on to play TB in the NFC Championship and like last time we played them, Goff outplays Brady again and we are back in the Super Bowl......
Does this trade ever happen? probably not
It's almost as if it was a relief to McVay that they lost that game so he could jettison Goff......weird huh?
No the trade probably doesn't happen if Goff gets them to the SB because that would have been contrary to their evaluation. Per Jourdan, they felt they got as far as they could with Goff as QB. McVay felt he wasn't evolving with the changes in the offense.
And the playoff games support that assessment. Sure, it was the defense that majorly failed against Green Bay but the offense failed too by only scoring 18 points. At no point this year did they have an offense that seemed capable of putting up 30 points consistently which is what they had in 2018.
