Man, there's a lot to unpack here. Here goes.
It’s called reality. You should watch yeh Mcvay post conference. The reality is nothing like what some so called fans describe or what Aikman thinks. According to Mcvay the play calls sucked and must get better. They repeatedly tried to get him to blame Goff but Mcvay sounded exactly how I sound. He said we had shit play calls bad execution by several people on offense and Goffs interception was one small peice of it.
Of course the coach won't publicly throw his QB under the bus. He's a smart man. The playcalling was fine, you can't just put a blanket statement and blame it. That's like blaming it all on the QB. Couple long drives happened early, and I thought Jared was doing OK. Then the almost pick to Tyler Higbee happened. Then the real pick happened. All within or approaching Seattle territory. At worst, that could've been 2 more field goals. Jared fucked it up on those drives.
Other drives? Passes behind WRs, at their feet, etc etc. Just bad play.
What I can’t stand is a very ignorant approach that blames the QB every game for the entire game. That is ignorant. Fans can see with their eyes the shit performance of the Oline and TE’s.
I am probably extra sensitive to what the TE’s and Oline are doing because that’s always been my interest and what I review carefully on tape after every game. So I am highly familiar with where the breakdowns are.
These breakdowns go unmentioned every week as the collective ignorant fan base focused on Goff almost exclusively. It’s just retarded in my opinion.
Whenever a QB is struggling, which Jared obviously is, there's always a group of fans that bangs the drum for the OL. Here's the thing, a QB will NEVER have a perfect line. You will never had 5/5 guys playing at all-pro levels. You will probably have one, maybe two, and everyone else does enough to get by. That's actual reality. Oh and BTW, the Rams have 23 sacks allowed, which is 6th best. And from what I've seen, he's always had average protection, sometimes better. That should be enough for a QB to make plays. We see players all the time evade the pocket, make subtle little moves to avoid the rush and get to their checkdowns. Jared isn't even doing that these days. At least not well or consistent.
If Goff makes bad plays I call it out as I do all other players.
No run game. No protection. No deep threat. So Goff has to drive the team down the field with elite 3rd down throw after another with very little margin of error. And he does it time after time. Then his running game fails and people rush to this board to tell us Goff sucks. It’s really laughable.
The Rams are top 10 in rushing. 6th most rushing TDs. And that's without an elite RB or running QB. With that same OL and TE blocking. Top 5 defense, and coaches that are catering the passing offense to suit his strengths.
I'll give you yesterday being down the starting RB and then losing the backup later makes it harder. And look, ultimately he's had more good than bad, but that's just yesterday. He has everything you're wanting basically this whole year and he still makes decisions that costs drives and recently, games.
Mahomes played like shit and almost lost to the falcons.
Hurts played like shit.
Wilson played like shit 4 games in a row.
Murray vs Rams and Niners
Patrick Mahomes only has 6 picks this year. It's a big deal when he throws a pick because it's rare. If Jared was at that level, I wouldn't care.
Jalen Hurts is a rookie in his 3rd game. He's instantly made Philly a team that can fight with anyone. And he doesn't have nearly everything perfect for him, either.
I'm looking at Russell Wilson's schedule and failing to find 4 bad games in a row. Unless you talk about that 1-3 stretch, and he's not the reason why they lost those.
Kyler Murray is a second year QB that's still developing, still in the thick of things. I watched him play a few times this year and right now, he has a lot more potential than Jared right now.
It happens I get it. No QB plays great every game unless they have a great Oline such as Rodgers and Allen this year.
I'm not expecting that. I just want competence at the position. Again no team has everything perfect at every position all the time, but they still find ways to overcome that. The Rams have almost everything in the top half, top 10 of the league. And Jared's fucking it up right now.
Im personally pissed that Higbee got thrown like a girl.
I’m pissed that our special teams is garbage.
I’m pissed that Reeder can’t make a third down stop two games in a row.
I’ve been so pissed at Everett all year and think he’s terrible.
I’m pissed at our stupid repetitive plays and lack of picking up free rushers.
I can’t stand Reynolds, he constantly destroys perfect plays.
Tyler Higbee is a bright spot, and he's not 100%.
I'll agree with ST. I'm tired of starting inside the 20 over and over.
Really? Troy Reeder, one player on a defense that makes stops 99% of the time?
Gerald Everett doesnt have a turnover.
That's to cover QB inefficiency.
Josh Reynolds is JAG, and he's not a reason for the recent struggles.
