And without Edelman, Patriots are lucky to get 3 points as well.
We cover Gronk like a blanket and Brady has no one else to go to.

I disagree. Some players are just much better than others. The Pats lost Edelman last year and lost in the Super Bowl. Look at how bad the Pats offense was this year at the beginning until steroid boy Edelman came off suspension.
Sometimes replacing an impact player is impossible.

Year one win the NFC West.
Year two win the NFC.
Ahead of schedule I would say.
Now the really tough task.....maintaining.
Said the same thing to my wife who doesn't watch any football except Ram playoff games. Wish our O-line which was fantastic all year would have shown up or at least made adjustments. Don't think Brady brought his A game but his HC sure did. Congrats to the Patriots and especially to the Rams who had a season to remember. One more thing: I feel terrible for the defense. They played a great game today. We'll put it all together next season and hopefully get back to the SB though I know there are no guarantees. Go Rams
What are you talking about? Prior to Kupp's injury against Denver, he was #1 on the team in receptions, #2 in receiving yards (to Cooks), and #1 in receiving TDs.
I also agree with Jrry. If we lose Cooks or Woods, we have Reynolds to play in place of them.
Kupp is one of the few indispensable guys on offense that we could ill afford to lose.
Goff and Whitworth being the others.
If not for CJ - Gurley would have been indispensable as well.

My only worry going into next year is Goff. The last six or so games he has not looked good at all after looking close to elite up until the Chiefs game. How in the world do you look like two completely different quarterbacks in the same season.

I wouldn't say Goff was overwhelmed by the magnitude of the game, I would say the Patriots defense played perfectly and covered up everything. So, Goff played real smart and did not turn the ball over. He also put some passes in real tight coverage that his WR's dropped or couldn't come down with, at least 5 passes that I saw. It was 3-3 till Quarter 4 when Goff started to finally find a few WR's open and if Cooks holds onto either TD pass Goff is hoisting the Lombardi as MVP.
A QB needs players around him to make the key plays in a game vs a tested championship defense and scheme like this, Goff wasn't overwhelemed any more than Brady was. Goff was cool under pressure and delivered. Brady and Him both had a pick they wanted back. But Brady didn't have WR's drop passes like Goff had.

McVay and Goff did not do a good job on this.
1. McVay should have spread the field more for Gurley or C.J. Anderson to run.
2. High percentage of run plays were straight up the middle like Jeff Fisher middle school offense.
3. Goff had no urgency to get to the LOS. Clock always wind down to 1-2 seconds. And the Cheaters Defense was ready knowing which play was called.
4. Where were the TEs on this? How many catches made by Higbee or Everett?
5. Goff did not have the accuracy and zip on the throws. That interception was underthrown. Had he threw higher Cooks would have made that TD.
6. Rams offense hung the Defense out today. Defense played great but got tired in the 4th quarter.
7. Had the Offense showed up, Rams would have won it.
So this falls on McVay.

My wife says I'm indispensable in that who else is she gonna yell and throw things at?
I agree that Goff made some great passes but throughout the game, he was missing some opens guys on a lot of the plays. It wasn't until the 4th qtr where he seemed to calm down and actually went thru the progressions to find the open guy.
He absolutely will and should. We shouldn't expect anything less from him knowing his track record.
Okay I'm going to say it. Was there cheating going on? I mean, our stellar O line got manhandled! How is that possible? Did the Pats find our tells like we did the Cowboys D?
I dunno, just so unlike us. We were covered like blankets down field, pass rush was epic, running only worked a couple of times.
How did the Pats figure out these plays during the game? Did they really have a great game plan?
This is the vent thread so I'm venting and if it ever comes to light that there was some sort of cheating, I can claim first dibs!

2 seasons under McVay/Phillips and Goff: Won the NFC championship and played awesome defense in the Super Bowl.
I dont know about some of you but I am going to be just fine.
