Plus i think he knows Goff’s weaknesses and he is not about to risk strip-sacks.
He’d rather trust the Defense, with Donald, Ramsey and company.

At some point, down the road, in the playoffs, in the fourth quarter, on third and long, the game will be in Goff’s hands. We’ll see what happens.

Yeah, I think it’s an adjustment. I think he would be happy to throw deep a couple of times a game, but 1) they don’t have a traditional deep threat WR. They’re all footwork guys with precise routes and good hands. 2) the dirtier Goff’s jersey, the less effective he is. He’s not Kurt Warner. So McVay does what works. And this works.

==============
Yeah, and McVay knows exactly what Goff does best. And Goff has done a fine job of running this offense. Martz would have gotten Goff killed a long time ago. McVay is the opposite. He protects Goff with this offense, and he plays to Goffs’ strengths.

For me, whats been most impressive about this years version of Goff is those rollout-throws. That kid can throw darts on the run, off-balance. I trust him completely out of the pocket.

love watching this defense.

but mcvay has to stay aggressive. i know he trusts the defense. but he can’t keep putting them in bad situations. there was a point where the rams could have put this game away, and they literally almost gave it away.

rams are 5th in total offense but only 17th in scoring. are they just not finishing drives?

Yes, that’s the main area of concern for me, too. Not finishing. I can’t put a finger on it, but they don’t seem as potent offensively as I expected them to be with the healthy, maturing OL.

However, the Rams seem to be improving. And their defense will keep them in games.

But if the Rams decline the penalty, there is no illegal pass, or rather it’s not counted, so the spot is the point of reception. The problem is the rule. Hammond went on about that. They need to build in losing a down to that penalty. Then the whole spot thing becomes irrelevant.

=================

Yeah, its just not what i expected the rule to be. I thought it would simply be blown dead as soon as Brady threw it the 2nd time, and the WR caught it.
I mean what if Brady had kicked it to the WR, and the WR caught it. Would they just let the play continue like it was a holding penalty, and wait until the play ended.

Anyway. I think Brockers is having his best year.
And i think Donald is dinged up or something. He doesnt look like a monster anymore. He looks ok, but not quite right.

Was that the right call on the batted-completed-pass by Brady? I thought the ball would be spotted as if it were an Incomplete Pass. But they spotted it like it was a completed pass. That was not the spot, i was expecting.

It would be great to beat Brady and the Bucs, but I dont see it.

I dont trust whatshisname at the Left Tackle spot.

Every state had big stakes on the ballot. I previewed them before Nov. 3 — and now we know enough to revisit it all.

Here's a new thread on each & every state, and DC & Puerto Rico too. Idea is to encapsulate as much of what went down as I can within 280 characters. Let's go!

Whats Brady’s record against the Rams? I know Martz beat him once, in 2001.
