GAME DAY TNF - Lions at Bills

[dang]

Nonsense. That shit seemed personal to me. I hated the way it went down, and continue to love Goff, but something was afoot at the Circle K IMO.

I’m going with McSnead always looking for the next big chip. Peters. Suh. Fowler. Big Whitt. Woods. Stafford. OBJ. Miller. Cooks. DAdams. McDuffie. Garrett. Donald II. TBD. Strive for perfection. Achieve excellence.

Yeah, that never happened. That was an Internet shitpost/meme rumor, and it was debunked by both parties and basically everyone in the media.

McVay and Goff actually have a cordial relationship, even with the trade, with McVay saying he regrets some things about the trade. It was only performance-based, not personal or anything of the like. They moved on. Their relationship is amicable.

Goff was a good soldier for the longest time including up to the trade. I don't understand why people have to denigrate him when we got a Super Bowl and an MVP season out of the trade. It didn't work out with Goff. That's fine and dandy. We still won that Super Bowl - possibly even more - and Stafford got the MVP. It was a good deal for both sides. Both sides won. You don't have to denigrate him to prove whatever point that you want to make.

Again, wish Goff the best unless he's playing us (in which case, I hope he throws four or more picks and we win).

@David Ray

Again, the so-called "comments" on Goff and McVay's wife are Internet memes/shitposts made by trolls right after the Goff trade (and Goff's wife/then-fiancée was a victim of them along with McVay's wife). Those false salacious rumors been disproven by literally every reporter worth their salt. If you simply looked and researched what you just posted, you'd know that.

If you're going to post libel, at least research the facts behind what you're posting.

If it was personal, it didn't involve what David Ray is saying, which has been denied by all parties, disproven by every reporter worth anything, and honestly should be shut the fuck down. Relying on what trolls say without any news confirming it - which no news source worth their stripes ever did, and all news sources worth their stripes have not even entertained any of it as truth - is absolute bullshit and honestly embarrassing.

I still believe that it was because McVay was frustrated with Goff's performance on the field and it spilled out into the locker room. If it was personal, it didn't involve anything outside of the locker room and/or it was with Goff's personality (which, honestly, didn't mesh with McVay's personality from the start; Goff is very much laidback; McVay's a perfectionist, to put it lightly. Stafford fits more into what McVay wants/expects from his quarterbacks.). I refuse to entertain Internet troll bullshit.

You could very well be right about it all being personal, but it had nothing to do with either of their wives and Goff commenting or not commenting on any of them, and even McVay has said later on that he regretted some aspects of the trade (namely the lack of transparency, which blindsided Goff), how it went down, and how very "amateurish" he was about it - and this is directly quoting McVay. If it did involve his wife - which it obviously didn't - he would've never said anything close to what he said.

Either way, I think it's beyond stupid to hold grudges against career Rams who had no issues off the field just for not being there anymore. Torry and S-Jax willingly chose the Cheatriots as their team with Belicheat still as the HC, and we didn't think any less of any of them. Isaac literally signed with the 69ers on a two-year contract in 2008, and we didn't think any less of him. Did we react that way towards London Fletcher? Chris Long and James Laurinaitis after they were cut and signed with other teams? No? Not at all? Thought so.

I honestly don't understand the loathing for Goff, who literally had no off-the-field issues and was a loyal soldier for the longest time until the trade, which, by the by, worked out for both parties. I think the hypocrisy annoys me because people didn't react that way towards other Rams I've mentioned who - most of whom left for other teams, a lot of them massively hated teams, and not via trade. The name-calling towards a player who didn't embarrass us off the field, didn't leave by choice, and who literally got us a Super Bowl and an MVP from the trade is uncalled for and, like what @InfiniteRam said earlier, immature. Just my honest opinion.
