Goff was 7 – 12, 128 yds and 4 TDS against the Titans’ blitz.
I think the author exaggerated Goff’s ‘struggles’ against the Titans to make his point.
Not to say Goff can’t be thrown off his game, but we’ve already seen what that looks like this year. And even when that happens he usually still makes plays.
Seattle looks like they bounced back. Good for them…I hope they win.
Oh sure–you’d feel that way. Disposable kickers,huh? Just throw them away like a used diaper, huh?
What happened to your Amish roots? What happened to the value of things? What happened to taking a pair of old shoes to a cobbler? You move up north and suddenly you’re just tossing away kickers.
Get with the times, dude.
The Amish have finally embraced the consumer ethos of their English neighbors.
This of course is just the beginning.

corporotacracy:http://www.businessinsider.com/security-robots-are-monitoring-the-homeless-in-san-francisco-2017-12Robots are being used to deter homeless people from setting up camp in San Francisco
A security robot has been put to work in San Francisco in an attempt to deter homeless people from forming tent cities.
The robot uses lasers and sensors to monitor an area for criminal activity. Rather than intervene during a crime, it alerts human authorities.
The robot’s owner, the San Francisco SPCA, said it has seen fewer tents and car break-ins since it deployed the robot in the city’s Mission neighborhood.
In San Francisco, autonomous crime-fighting robots that are used to patrol parking lots, sports arenas, and tech company campuses are now being deployed to keep away homeless people.
The San Francisco Business Times reported last week that the San Francisco SPCA, an animal advocacy and pet adoption group, put a security robot to work outside its facilities in the gentrifying Mission neighborhood. The robot’s presence is meant to deter homeless people from setting up camps along the sidewalks.
Last week, the City of San Francisco ordered the SF SPCA to keep its robot off the streets or be fined up to $1,000 per day for operating on sidewalks without a permit, according to the Business Times.
Krista Maloney, media relations manager for the SF SPCA, told Business Insider that staff wasn’t able to safely use the sidewalks at times because of the encampments. Maloney added that since the SPCA started guarding its facilities with the robot — known as K9 — a month ago, the homeless encampments have dwindled and there have been fewer car break-ins.
I can think of better ways for the SPCA to spend its donations.
On the other hand, their employees have to be safe.
Of course, the ultimate responsibility for this falls on a mental healthcare system where inpatient care is discouraged (so people are on the street) and the medications that could help are too expensive.
Why don’t you just move to Russia if you love the Seahawks so much.
Where do you think I’m posting from?
I liked the chances of the Rams against the Vikings, the Saints, and the Eagles.
The Vikes beat them.
They beat the Saints.
The Eagles game was there for the taking, and the Rams’ inexperience cost them that game.
The Seahawks…well, the Rams nearly beat them in spite of 5 turnovers, including the Gurley fumble that fate could have turned the other way, and the Rams could have gone up big right there. Even so, they had the ball in the end zone as time expired, and could have won. They outplayed Seattle that day, except for 5 turnovers.
Now Seattle is down Chancellor, Sherman, Avril (again), and maybe Wagner. So although it is in Seattle, the Rams ought to have superiority in numbers. Superiority in talent on the field.
Both teams are going to want this game badly, obviously, so it will be an all out battle.
If that Rams lose, I will have to attribute their position in first place more to the mirage of a bad early start by Seattle than their own power as a team. I won’t doubt they are headed in the right direction, but I will see going 1-3 in these Big Games as evidence they don’t belong yet with the Big Boys.
They ought to win this game. Seattle is pretty badly damaged on defense, and the Rams are second in the league in scoring, and have a very good defense that should get the better of the weak Seattle OL. Wilson is a handful, and his receivers are good, and this will be close.
Seattle’s m.o. on offense is to snap the ball to Wilson who will then scramble around until someone gets open deep and then he chucks it to the open guy. It’s been very effective. My concern is a that a secondary down a starting corner will have difficulty covering receivers for an extended period of time.
When the Rams used a 4-3, Quinn, Sims, and Hayes could keep Wilson in the pocket while Donald and Brockers collapsed it. Not sure the current defense will be able to do that as well as they have in past years.
I still like the Rams’ chances though. The Seahawks haven’t faced a Rams offense this good since 2003 or 2004. I think the offense is better than it was the first time they met. Gurley is the new ‘beast mode’ and Goff is more comfortable in the pocket than he was when these teams met earlier in the year.
