reactions to the Miami game

Drain the swamp.

I didn’t see the game but it seems like the same thing happened today that has been going on for years – anemic offense and undisciplined defense equals another close loss.

I thought the momentum started to swing when Robinson got called for that stupid block in the back. Goff had just scrambled for a drive continuing first down, teammates were pumped on the sideline and there was a lot of positive confidence for the rookie to build on. But nope, Robinson decides to hit someone in the back that was no where near the play, and who had no chance at all of making a play. No first down, no more time off the clock, then the crap started happening. Missed FG, then the 4th quarter penalty fest.
Bad way to lose, hand the other team the game cause you lack discipline.

I blame Fisher. He should have gone it instead of attempting the last FG. I think it was that big of a mistake. I am not going to hammer this, but I had to say it.

i agree with that. i also don’t think he or boras were aggressive enough on offense although that might have to do something with goff starting his first game.

but i also blame penalties. that lies with players and coaches.

i think the offensive staff has been a colossal failure this season. if fisher stays he better make changes on offense.

i didn’t see the game. I was in NYC for the day. I tried to follow the score off and on and I saw the early TD and thought–wow–great. Then the Rams shut it down and it was 7-0 forever. Then I saw they got a FG and thought–wow–cool—that should lock it up.

Then I saw Miami scored and it was 10-7.

And I thought–here we go–but probably another close win.

Then I saw Miami scored—a TD. 14-10.

And I knew–game over.

And I just laughed a little. My emotional investment has checked out for the year. Fire Fisher and move on. Or we can keep playing “Groundhog Day” over again next year. I’ve seen enough of it.

I missed the game. Catching up now. How did Goff Look?

IMO? Overall he did well considering the conditions (ie. against a top pressure defense in the rain).

IMO also–he had some throws that just show superior talent. At the same time he had a couple of rookie things–some passes too high, some too low. But to me that didn’t overshadow the promise.

He looked like a starting qb. One who (from what I saw) will only get better.

There’s a vid with every throw he made. You can form your own opinion. I would be interested.

Looked like a super-star in the making to me. Showed the same pocket-presence and escapability and niftyness in the pocket we saw on the college vids.

Great release, nice touch, good zip, threads the needle.

His misses were almost all of the ‘first start jitters’ kinda misses. Didn’t have the timing down yet. A little over-anxious.

He’s gonna be great. Too bad the rest of the offense is such a discombobulated disaster.

The Rams are certain to beat New England.

yeah. he’s nimble. that’s the biggest difference i see between him and bradford.

hopefully we see the staff give him more responsibility as the season goes on.
