And the cold hard reality is that the LA RAMS shipped GOOF out because he GOOFs entirely too frequently to lead a team thru a postseason gauntlet. He was lucky the kitties retained the ball there after making a decision to lateral the ball to an OLineman.
Like that OLineman was going to take the ball and salvage that play.
GET REAL!.
How is that for cold hard reality?

The GOOF take isn’t aging very well. Goff is a top 5-6 QB in the NFL right now.

As long as he has a clean pocket, he can sling it with the best of them.
But, he makes some really, shall we say, QUESTIONABLE decisions, at the worst possible times, when you get him off his spot.
And his delayed delivery to Brandon Cooks in Super Bowl 53 hasn't 'aged well' with me.
Cost the RAMS 7 points.
Not to mention his chuck and duck pick near the end of the game.

This whole GOOF thing is immature and ridiculous. Why some Ram fans hang onto this is beyond me.

I love how some say Goff makes questionable decisions at misopportune times - like most NFL QB's don't? Our own golden boy Stafford has done this on many occasion, and as a matter of fact, has the most pick 6's in NFL History.

Goff is one of the most accurate QB's to ever play the game and has one of the lowest INT% of any QB, ever - 9th lowest actually. And he fumbles no more than most NFL QB's. He has 18 4th quarter comebacks, and 24 GWD. He actually performs quite well in the clutch.

End of day, McVay could have won a Super Bowl with Goff. He just wasn't patient enough.

I think it's safe to say that both teams won the Stafford/Goff trade. We got a Super Bowl, an MVP, and multiple playoff appearances, and the Lions got a stud quarterback and other weapons. I believe it's ridiculous to hold grudges or call a former Ram (who had no issues off the field or in the locker room with us; only on the field performance that wasn't up to McVay's standards, the performance of which, honestly, was still better than a lot of quarterbacks around the league; he was a number one overall pick for a reason.) immature names.

Goff didn't get a Super Bowl with us. He came close (and I blame Cooks more for not making the grab than I do Goff - and it's not that I dislike Cooks as a receiver or person himself; he was a serviceable Ram as well.) to winning one with us but didn't get it. He was a loyal soldier throughout the process, never badmouthed anyone - including McVay - even when he was shipped off to Detroit, and overall seems like a good person.

I don't get the name-calling and bitterness. Both teams won that trade. We got a Super Bowl out of it. We got an MVP award out of it. We got a future first-ballot HOFer out of it. I don't understand why the vitriol is there in the first place.

I concur I have always wish the best for Goff unless he is playing against the Los Angeles Rams.

Defensive injuries to two top safeties.
Here is the updated list showing the position and expected time out for each player:


Brian Branch – Safety | Out at least until Week 5 (October 11). He is currently on the Reserve/PUP list recovering from a torn Achilles, meaning he must miss at least the first 4 games.

Kerby Joseph – Safety | Out indefinitely. He is on the Reserve/PUP list due to a degenerative knee condition. While he is required to miss the first 4 games, his exact recovery timeline remains highly uncertain.

Ennis Rakestraw Jr. – Cornerback | Day-to-day / Week-to-week. He was a healthy scratch / inactive for tactical or final ramp-up reasons following an earlier preseason ankle issue.

Mekhi Wingo – Defensive Tackle | Day-to-day. He was listed as a pre-game inactive but has previously been working back from a minor groin issue and a preseason concussion.

Ahmed Hassanein – Defensive End | Day-to-day. He was a pre-game inactive as a deep depth option and is expected back on a week-to-week basis. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Last full and productive season was in 2022.
Barely played in 2023 and 2024 (75 total carries and less than 250 yards); and did not play last season.
 
I stated earlier that I like watching Goff. The Lions didn't give him any protection early. He helped them hang around in the second half as they gave him more time in the pocket. The game was over for the most part when he made two great throws. He spun the ball with perfect accuracy on 20- 25-yard strikes. He played well for the Rams and helped McVay turn things around. He is among the top 10 QBs that a lot of teams would like to have.

Way I see it the Lions defense has been their achilles heel since they rebuilt that roster. They have a legit, title quality offensive unit. Top to bottom it's there. Goff is good enough to do it with that OL and talent around him I think. But in the playoffs your offense is going to get shut down at some point and when that happens, if your defense isn't up to snuff, you go home.

And I don't think they're gonna get past a team like Seattle. Because Seattle's gonna be able to slow that offense and dumb it down. But Detroit doesn't have the defense to shut them down. Rams went apeshit to fix the secondary this offseason for that reason, and it's why they traded for Garrett too I am sure. And I expect at some point our defense will start feeling those additions.

But I don't think Detroit has the horses on defense.

If saying he'd "pipe" the wife of the HC isn't an off-field issue ... well, OK.

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).

If McVay would have let Goff struggle a bit more early on, and not spoon feed it to him, he may have been better off in the end. Who knows? Not here, nor there.

Both the Ram and Lion QB are awesome, period.

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.
