The defense made this a fun season for me. Special Teams was broke. imo The offense was ok, if slightly broken. Goff is ok. I am not here to kick him off the bus, but I want a better QB. I know some like him and some hate him. I am in the middle looking for an upgrade.

defense. amazing. so much fun.

on goff. he’s average to above average. the green bay game did nothing to dissuade me from that. i listened to the podcasts and analysis of goff’s game, and i pretty much agree. he’s not going to offer the rams anything beyond what he’s already shown. he needs everything around him to be in order. but when it is. he can be real good.

mcvay is probably wondering to himself if that is something he can live with. but finding an upgrade will be hard. it would be a career defining move for sean if attempts to pull it off. but it won’t be this offseason.

also. lastly. i liked watching cam akers. i hope he can stay healthy next year. love his running style. patient but explosive. and he’s tough. i hope he sticks around for awhile.

one question i do have is how his system fits the current players. it worries me a little. i hope he has the ability to adapt.

oh wait. the wrong award. oops.

i’m not sure how i feel about this. he’s got a good reputation. he’s young.

but i would have preferred promotion from within for some kind of continuity. although i’m not sure how much continuity there could have been considering staley was only here for a year.

but overall i gotta say i’m leaning positive on this. i just don’t know how positive. i just know that whenever his name is mentioned it’s usually associated with positive things.

It was a #1 defense, a great defense but not elite.

that’s what’s so disappointing though. only one year in the system. how good could they have been with two… three years in the system.

coulda created something special. maybe not.

hopefully someone from within gets promoted, and we can see what more this defense can do.

I don’t think Goff really was healthy enough to play against the Seahawks except in an emergency. He threw a lot of wobbly wounded ducks.

a healthy goff behind a stronger oline would be good.

and i don’t think a complete overhaul is even necessary. plus they have some developmental prospects. i really like anchrum. i wonder if he could take over as center.

I just don’t think that a divorce from Goff is possible. I read he stands to make $67 million over the next two years.

I would build the line a little bit.

Get healthy. There are still many pieces in place. Akers and Jefferson are bright spots.

yeah. me personally. i would concentrate on making that oline right.

i have no idea what the rams organization has in mind. if i had to choose, i’d say that’s what their plan is.

they need to take a hard look at this offensive line. it’s not good enough.

defense played bad yesterday. but donald was hurt. for most of the season they’ve played well.

but goff and the running backs need a strong offensive line to be consistent.

i just wonder though why it took something like this for some people to realize how horrible trump is.

goff is one tough dude.

also. media going wild saying goff was benched. i don’t buy it. guy had thumb surgery. mcvay didn’t want to risk it unless he absolutely had to. and it was obvious goff wasn’t at full strength.

gutsy performance from the quarterback.

i remember thinking 20 years ago that the legacy of that offense would be in large part established by who made the hall of fame.

faulk, warner, pace, bruce, and now hopefully holt. this would be the finishing touch on a historic offense.

apparently 4 protesters died at the storming of the capitol building. one shot directly in the chest. within a couple hours of that protest starting and ending.

although yes. they were woefully underprepared. it’s a farce.

Is he overcoaching Goff to the point of analysis paralysis?

i do sometimes wonder if mcvay is a control freak. maybe he needs to let goff just grip it and rip it.

rams defense finishes number 1 overall in yards allowed. and guess what? they finish number 1 overall in points allowed! even including the points given up by special teams and offensive turnovers.

that’s awesome. number 3 in rushing yards allowed. number 1 in passing yards allowed.

passing defense. number 1 in ypa. number 2 in passer rating. number 2 in sacks.

rushing defense. number 3 in ypc.

wow. a great defense.

lastly. i hope goff comes back. no way rams win in the playoffs with wolford behind center. he was serviceable. but no way you win in the playoffs with just serviceable. hopefully, goff is healthy. hopefully, the defense continues to play great. and hopefully, the rams can make a run in the playoffs.

happy new year, everybody.
