espn has a definition.....a defender within 1 yard of a completed pass...sounds about right
So Goff gets knocked because his receivers are open?
And....I blame the QB's he's worked with.
I think you're off base there given that Goff has actually been quite good in the redzone according to statistics.
It was about filming practices....and specifically several NEW plays Martz was putting in for the superbowl
No it wasn't, the Patriots filmed hand signals so they could relay information to Tom Brady after the 15 second cut off, because they knew what the opposing defensive coaches were telling their players. I believe at one point they also had a second headset in so the backup QB could give information when the play was live as well, but that might not have been confirmed. Either way the point of that was to give additional information to Tom Brady after the 15 second cutoff time.
I saw that too...right after the :15 second mark of the play clock...like someone told him something....and he's relaying it to the team.
And when there's 10 or 5 seconds? Or what about when Goff was literally pointing to where he wanted a receiver to go during a play for a TD? I'm also curious as to why you decided to ignore me telling you again that McVay wasn't calling audibles he was calling the play. Goff and McVay have already said so. The only one still on this is Chris Simms, rival fans and apparently you.
Watkins, Kupp, Higbee, Everett, Reynolds, and MIKE THOMAS
Hate to break it to you, but that's not their style. Kupp is the only one who can get there and he's not there yet, he's too young. Higbee, Everett, Reynolds, and Thomas have never shown they have the ability to come down with contested balls on a consistent basis, at least not yet. Watkins needs to stop being lazy on half his routes for me to think he can come down with contested balls. Given that lazy attempt that resulted in a pick against the Saints, I'm not seeing it. You're just naming off receivers not named Austin and you missed Woods who's probably our best possession receiver at this time (with Kupp quickly narrowing that gap).
Use your eyes....who looked better Sunday? Who looked more accurate?
I don't need to use my eyes, I can use science and math. Goff was more accurate, simple as that. Wentz looked great, I'm not going to say otherwise, but I thought Goff looked great too, and he did. He stood tall against unrelenting pressure and ended up being the best QB of the week when pressured. By the end of the day I was cemented in my happiness for Goff and frankly Wentz could have thrown for 600 yards and 10 TD's and I would have felt that way because Goff walked off the field at the end of the game and will walk back onto a field next week. Injury aside, I think they both played very well, the matchup was exactly as advertised in my opinion. Flashy plays don't get my rocks off because you can't count on flashy plays every week or every drive. How many flashy plays have we seen from the Steelers week in and week out during Big Bens prime? Plays that make you go "Holy shit, how did he do that?!"... How many for the Patriots? Sure they have been all over highlights, but how many times do you see Tom Brady do something and you say "Holy shit, how did he do that?" Not much, because Tom Brady isn't about flashy plays. He's about methodically driving down and beating you. You knock his head off, he comes right back and stands tall. You pick him off and he comes right back and throws it deep. You know, sort of like Goff, McVay and the Rams. If they can be half as successful as Brady and Bilicheat then the conversation isn't even close. And this isn't because I like the Patriots or anyone on that roster for that matter, but they win and they win by playing smart methodical football designed by a smart coach. They don't beat people with wow plays, they just beat them. Just like we've been doing.
And what happened the play after that? We had another play, no???
It was an incomplete pass to Kupp. It doesn't really matter though, because you can't discount that Goff threw a TD to Kupp for the win and Kupp dropped it. That happened and that's what matters. Frankly it was a bad game by the Rams all around.
