    i was not demoralized until today. the season is done. maaaybe playoffs. they shoulda been looking to the future. rebuilding the oline.

    instead they trade away 2 more first rounders.

    well. hope that david edwards is the answer.

    it might very well be a lost year. but i’m not sure the team is falling apart. depends on your definition.

    i think the oline is falling apart. i think there’s no pass rush outside of aaron donald.

    the draft will be very important for sure.

    i hate to say it. but russell wilson is one of those rare talents at qb. maybe he, rodgers, and mahomes are just in a class by themselves.

    i’m worried about this game. a better oline and a full strength gurley would make me feel better.

    so… yeah.

    might not be a bad idea.

    have a second set of eyes on the offense and goff.

    what experience does gruden have developing qbs?

    the only thing is he’d probably bolt for the next hc offer.

    he was good. he was exceptional at times. and then two dropped passes that were right in the receivers’ hands. a freak interception. and then after all that he still got them in position for a winning fg.

    and i still think he’s gonna get better. not even close to reaching his potential. i keep saying it, but this guy is a tough dude. he’s gonna take this season and it’ll make him a better qb in the end.

    i’m pretty sure.

    they lost to a team with a special special qb. on the road. one of the most hostile road venues in the nfl.

    and they had a chance to win at the end. so you know. this team obviously has flaws. but they showed a mental toughness i think.

    kupp and everett let goff down on the second to last drive. i think the stats don’t do goff justice on this one. terrible luck on that int. and two dropped passes on that second to last drive.

    some bad defense. bad tackling.

    it’s gonna be a tough season.

    definitely the oline needs to get better.

    but i think both things are true.

    the oline needs to get better and goff needs to get better when he’s under pressure.

    i’d invest in oline in next year’s draft.

    this was bound to happen. things had been going too well for goff the past 2 seasons. at some point things around him were going to fall apart. i knew at some point this was going to happen.

    so has he regressed? ok. well no. he obviously hasn’t gotten worse at football. he hasn’t forgotten how to play. but. now certain things about goff have been exposed. 24th in passing under pressure isn’t good enough. this has always been a weakness. it’s just that now it’s being exposed. and it’s something he has to improve on to progress as a qb. this isn’t the worst thing. he’s gonna be 25 this month. i mean. it’s not a sin to have some holes in your game at 25 years old. it just means he’s gotta grind and push through and learn from these games. there’s nothing up until now that says he can’t or won’t.

    and i don’t buy what simms says. goff was the 5th best qb in the nfl with a clean pocket but only 24th facing pressure last season. that’s a big dropoff. it needs to improve. i’m not saying he has to be just as good against a pass rush vs a clean pocket. i’m just saying he can’t be 24th among all qbs against pressure.

    maybe it already has improved. but i wanna see the stats. i don’t really watch other games, so it’s hard for me to make the comparison. but he’s gotta be better compared to other qbs. maybe simms talked about that. i only listened half way. but until i see stats that show he’s improved against a pass rush, i’m not buying it.

    goff’s gotta learn how to play better under pressure. yes. every qb drops off against pressure. and i wouldn’t expect him to play as well as he would when he’s not under pressure. but 24th isn’t good enough.

    but as i’ve said. qbs go through growing pains. and goff is far from a finished product. nor is he some transcendent talent like a mahomes. i think he’ll come out becoming a better qb. he’s as tough as they come.

    So, GOff might have had his best game since the NFCC–damn the stats and people moaning.

    that’s not really saying much.

    i think he’ll be fine though.

    look at mahomes on sunday. and while he did lead kansas city to a come from behind victory, he almost threw an int to give the game away in the last 2 minutes.

    goff is struggling a little bit, but i also think he comes back from this.

    i think it was ok. not as bad as others say it was. of the 3 ints. one was a tipped ball i believe. the other was on 4th down. he made some outstanding throws. but he was also a little erratic. especially in the first half.

    but i don’t think it was one of his better performances. and i can’t believe that this is only down to the oline. these struggles have been evident since last season.

    i do think he’ll adjust.

    i’d prefer to see goff fumble it no more than 12 times over a season. he’s already got 4. he’s on pace for 16.

    so. we’ll see.

    but it has to improve. he’s just gotta make quicker decisions and be more aware. i mean it’s good to a certain degree that he isn’t focused on the pass rush. he’s a tough guy. but sometimes you just gotta make a decision and just get it out of your hands quickly.

    plus those tiny hands don’t help one bit.

    things i keep repeating to myself.

    gurley will get better as the season goes on. gurley will get better as the season goes on.

    goff will get better as the season goes on. goff will get better as the season goes on.

    the defense is not as bad as they looked today. the defense is not as bad as they looked today.

    seriously though. i thought everett looked good today. they really should find ways to get him the ball more often.

    as far as goff. yes, he’s dealing with an oline that is struggling. that only explains so much. he’s just a little off on his accuracy. maybe some of that is having to deal with the pressure. sure. but some of it is him as well. but i think he’ll get better. he’s a tough kid.

    as it is. he’s third in passing yards. so that’s something. his accuracy isn’t the worst. he’s only ranked 20th in passing accuracy, but i seriously doubt some of these guys can keep up their percentages over an entire season. he’s 22nd in ypa. again. not sure all the guys above him can maintain their averages. and i think that his ypa will go up at some point. i hope. his main problem is not throwing enough tds and throwing too many ints.

    gurley is on pace for 1124 yards from scrimmage. i figured he’d finish the season with 1700 yards from scrimmage. he’s got 3/4 of a season left to get 1419 yards. even if he got 1219 yards, he’d finish with 1500 yards from scrimmage which i think is totally doable. especially if the oline continues to jell.

    so i take that as being mcvay making adjustments. players also getting into the rhythm of the game.

    but overall you also add in the fact that the oline is still jelling.

    goff is still adjusting to nfl defenses adjusting to him.

    gurley has slowed down a bit.

    and on top of that i still believe that gurley’s usage will increase as we get toward the end of the season. he’s still pretty durn good although maybe not as explosive as he once was.

    it’s just a lot of things happening at once. they’ll get better. how much better is the question i guess.

    ooh. but that defense. that defense is pretty durn good.

    his two big problems.

    1. playing on a horrible team.
    2. injuries. didn’t miss too many games but was always playing with little injuries.

    well. he no longer looks like the guy who could rip off 50+ yarders at any moment.

    but i do suspect his touches will start to increase when we get into the second half of the season.

    watching the game for the first time right now.

    he isn’t that far off. goff that is.

    some bad decisions by him. some dropped passes.

    i think this season is gonna be a period of growing up for goff.

    i do expect him to finish in the top third in passer rating though this year. if he doesn’t, i think there’d be legitimate reason to be worried.

    ehh. i’m not worried yet. like i’ve said. qbs typically regress around this stage of their development. statistically that is.

    defenses have had time to study them and probe them for weaknesses. qbs then have to adjust.

    i believe goff will.

    unless you’re just a preternatural talent like a mahomes.

    he was coached by david cutcliffe – who also coached both peyton (at tennessee) and eli (at ole miss). supposed to a be a qb whisperer.
