I have faith in Stafford. I truly do. I think he can figure stuff out and how to play under pressure in big games. This game will be the first learning lesson. Against Zona he was just erratic with no pressure. Tonight was a different beast. WR's covered Simmons destroying the pocket. As Brees so pointedly said, when the Oline cant hold up and the WR's are covered, throw the ball away. A sack can be a drive killer vs a good defense and The interceptions were careless. It happens to the best, the very best. It was my point with Goff. Sometimes really good QB's don't play good football when the defense is on their game. Hell look at Mahomes. Did he just stop caring about football? No. He has an Oline in transition. Thing about Goff is he elevated his game vs the Saints when everything fell apart. Including Gurely. The elevation wasn't 80 yard bombs. The elevation was ball control and managing the game until he could choose his spots at the end and move the team in position for the tying FG and also the game winner.
Mcvay was too slow to adjust in this game as mentioned. It's a hard lesson for him and Stafford has some learning as well.
Got to be willing to throw balls away and let the defense carry you sometimes.
