Look, there are 32 teams in the NFL. All other things being equal, if your teams wins a Superbowl every 32 years, you're running just about average. The Rams won in 99 and again in 21. That's beating the odds. In the end it's about that trophy. Stafford's playoff run and the Superbowl win immediately justified the trade. Getting close a bunch of times does NOT equal winning it once.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
And if I'm reading your post right, it sounds like you're saying Goff is still the same guy, just getting good protection and open 1st reads again. And that that's all he can do. I just don't believe a QB can survive in the NFL, let alone thrive as Goff has, if he can't go through progressions. DC's would exploit that quickly. And I have watched Goff a lot including film analysis. He deby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com

Smith was a flyer, a downfield receiver. St. Brown is a slot guy, runs a lot of crossing routes. Will seldom ever be catching passes more than 20-25 air yards, although he's a fine YAC guy. And even though he's a tough guy on the field, Amon-Ra wouldn't be fighting with teammates like Smith. I would compare him to Hines Ward.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
It's not an impossible task, but the points in 9ers favor begin to line up QB - is there an edge? not much RB - CMC still has juice and way more experience. Something was off with David Montgomery in the TB game, he didn't look right. Gibbs is electric, but not an every down back. TE's - Kittle > LaPorta, especially with LaPorta still a bit hobbled. Lions lost 2 tight ends in recenby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
where it came from (Dan Campbell's hiring press conference 3 years ago.) what it means: a metaphor for toughness and never giving up, not a recipe to injure other players. The checkmarks on the sign refer to goals accomplished: Division title, home playoff win, another playoff win. It's not a record of injury trophies. But if you're salty about the loss I suppose you want to take it that waby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
My reaction is based on seeing average time to throw stats for QB's. 4 or 5 seconds would be amazing off the charts as an average. I actually tried to look up what it was for both QB's in that game. I couldn't find that stat for this particular game BUT on Pro Football Reference I found the below listed for the 2023 Season. They are not in order for this stat. The number column was labby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com

If the Lions hold SF to 23, Goff needs to win that game on offense. But you know that the Detroit crowd helped to hold those pts down.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
It's a team game, in the end. Goff doesn't play defense.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
Maybe just a clarification, once more, on Goff. I don't think he's the greatest. I don't know if he will ever win a Superbowl. So much has to go right. Some great QB's never did, and some average ones did. My position has always been that there are narratives about Goff that are exaggerated, or have become outdated. And that he's not garbage. I saw predictions on this board after theby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
Goff doesn't stir the blood of the fans. He's not going to bail nimbly out of the pocket, shrug off a tackler, make another scramble, and then suddenly stop and find a receiver who has managed to get open during all of that. And that's the kind of play that makes us all jump off the couch. Not Jared. You're right. He's awkward and goes down easily if rushers get to him. But he hasn't stby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
Here's some more stats to discount and explain away.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
The Lions fans were practically all in on the Rams winning the Super Bowl in the 2021 season. The Lions were still a bad team at that point, 3-13-1, and had nothing of their own to cheer for, but they temporarily adopted the Rams. Because of Matt Stafford, of course, but they did it. And they were happy then to enjoy a little, tiny bit of reflected glory when the QB that had given his alby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com

If by, "the game", you mean Lions at 9ers, well I have a lot of thoughts. Here's the short version: I give the Lions a 30% chance. They need to stop the run, which they usually do, and then hope that their terrible cornerbacks can get enough help from their safeties and enough LUCK to hang on. Offense needs to run, and run. I don't think Lions can pass block the niners for veryby Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com

I saw posts (on another board) where the poster was hoping before the game that the Rams would go after LaPorta's bad knee and take him out. That fan doesn't represent ram fans in general.by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
The Rams would be right where they are now, but without that '21 ring. Thanks, Jaquiski!by Saguaro - RamsFootballFans.com
