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.

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.
