Huge test today for Goff

[Ramhusker]

The grade is in. Unfortunately, it‘s an F.

If Hoyers 3 TD’s and 1 int.is horrible , what does Goff’s 3 points , 2 ints. , and 3 fumbles qualify under ?
Did I mention Hoyer drove them into easy field goal range , but a Hall of Famer shanked it.
Talk about a poor example.

I actually watched that whole game for fantasy reasons. He was not good. Pick 6 in the redzone returned for a TD. A fumble recovered by the D. Multiple sacks. He had less than 200 yards. If you actually watch the game he was bad.

Goff in comparison was actually much more mobile (in the pocket) and delivered better passes.

Of course, we ended up with Bulger (who was actually decent when he had a good OL) because people so eagerly and zealously ran Kurt Warner out of town as soon has he had a rough patch (which still pissed me off, because I knew he wasn't finished, and lo and behold, he took a shit franchise like the Cardinals to within inches of a Super Bowl title).

Of course, this is what a large portion of the Rams fan base like to do, as soon as a QB (or any player for that matter) has a rough patch, let's run his ass out of town rather than realize that players are human, have their ups and downs, and QBs especially have downs when their OL that is supposed to protect them fails miserably in that task.

And here we are again, with a sizeable chunk of the Rams fanbase ready to exile Goff forever, never mind the OL is one of the worst in the league (if not THE worst) and the head coach is stubbornly refusing to adjust and instead continues to chase his dopamine rush of chunk plays when we clearly cannot pull them off with the same frequency as we did in the prior two seasons because of said OL problems. This segment of the fanbase just never learns.

I never thought marc bulger would win anything and he never did... Goff still is young and there is hope.

That's what I'll say about that.

I think this is a great week to get the rushing game going myself.

I wish they had run Gurley 25+ times.

The offensive line was okay in the 2nd half and we still didn't do shit.

I did actually watch the game and he moved the ball . He was 3rd string at the start of the year and Goff is a 134 million dollar franchise QB . 1 for 13 or so on 3rd down and 3 points are God awful , and so was he today . Kupp was open several times and never caught a ball . My wife knows nothing about football and saw it . Haden could've signaled for a fair catch on that int . They came out moving the ball after halftime and that throw took the life out of them .

It was even worse in person . At no time after the Steelers took the lead , did I think the Rams could win the game . Last year I knew eventually they would make a run and take control . How the hell it was lost over one off season is baffling.

 

[gabriel18]

He has to be on the field to get those carries . Something is wrong and I don't believe it's physical.

An F might be a little high . Lol When I went to school , anything from 0 to 65% was an F . I don't think it got a smell of the 65.

Everytime the ball was thrown to Kupp it was contested. He even had the ball knocked out of his hands. He was doubled the entire game. I don't know which play you're talking about but he was not running free out there.

I think it’s possible Jared is playing too tight trying to earn that big contract. McVay sure isn’t helping him. The play action is a nonfactor...why you ask? Opposing D.C’s have structured their defense to give up yards on running plays and not allowing Jared to get comfortable. They “know” that McVay ultimately wants the knock out punch, through the air, and the defense will not allow it. The defenses are using Sean’s aggressive play calling against him. How else do you explain a 6 ypc and only 12 attempts? Sean either cannot or will not run while it’s working, and defenses know it.

i'm really starting to get frustrated reading this board. i used to come here to get away from chicken little posters who want to run every player out of town after a couple of losses. yet here we are, get rid of this guy, get rid of that guy. fuck me.

I thought Goff played ok enough today, but the OL was a sieve.

Give Goff time, and he’s a Super Bowl caliber QB.

Goff isn’t our problem. Our OL is the problem.

 

[max]

Ok, Goff wasn’t good enough to produce more than 3 points in a very difficult situation.

But here was the OL he was operating behind in the 2nd half.

Whit, Corbett, Blythe, Shelton, Edwards

Just awful. Especially going up against a strong defense.

Goff wasn’t good enough to overcome that, not many QBs are. But he clearly isn’t one of them. Just one TD was all that was needed in that tough situation, and Goff couldn’t get it.

.

Again , he's a 3rd string QB that threw 3 TD's and drove the field to set up a game winning field goal .
The Steelers D is nothing special and the Rams mustered 3 points . The genius and California kid need to go back to the drawing board . It's ugly to watch

3 targets and he wasn't doubled the entire game . I didn't say running free , but he was open a few 3rd downs . If the late pass that was tipped away had and touch on it , it was a TD .

Agreed Max, it was disappointing...Goff is not the type of QB that can win a game by himself and there are others, but he's young, works hard and let's hope the Rams can get him some help up front.
