Last season, opposing defenders entered a 5-foot halo in Goff’s field of vision and decreased his ability to complete passes (i.e. caused disruption) at the 21st-highest rate of 14.4 percent. This season, though, Goff has seen the opposition’s disruptive pressure nearly double to 27.6 percent (sixth-most). In terms of win share, my measurements have the O-line unit going from seventh-best in 2018 (2.7) to 24th this season (1.4). Increased penalties and decreased efficiency in the run game partly drive this win-share dip — and act as a double-whammy in terms of also setting up Goff for passing downs where pressure is more likely. I don’t think Sean McVay wanted Goff to spend a game attempting the third-most passing attempts in NFL history — 68 in the Week 4 loss to Tampa Bay — but L.A.’s lackluster O-line play is throwing off the team’s offensive balance.

well i hope all this forces goff to be more quick with his decisions and maybe even force him to see the field better. read defenses better. know his own offense better.

i think in the long run this should be a good experience for him.

but yeah. things had been going too good for goff. this was bound to happen at some point. but this guy has a track record of overcoming things like this. let’s see how he adjusts to this.

“Keep playing. I don’t want to make excuses… but any time you go silent at home, it’s a little different.

i wouldn’t say i was completely shocked. but it was still a little bit surprising.

it’s gonna take some time for the fan base to build up. still. a little embarrassing.

i get this feeling that gurley will not be a ram for much longer.

not advocating that they keep him or release him. but i just don’t know how they keep that many players at a premium rate.

what say the salary cap experts?

Yesterday was the first time in 3 years under McVay’s leadership — including postseason — that the #LARams won the turnover battle and lost the game.

that concerned me.

They are not a Super Bowl challenger anymore this season. So that expectation is gone.

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.

to differential huge.

maybe the biggest problem for this team???

dunno.

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.

i wonder if this means ogbo will be activated.

They did show some stuff on the road in Seattle.

yeah. tough road game with a chance to win at the end.

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.

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.

isn’t this around the time that donald really starts to get going?

he’s had some good games against seattle. hopefully, he can have another one tomorrow.

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.
