Yeah....
plus Goff decided today was a good time to do his Chris Chandler impersonation!!

Our running game actually hit for 131 yds on 29 carrries for 4.5 YPC, 1 TD, long of 18 yds.

With our upcoming schedule and the recipe for defending Goff well known by the entire league, I see this team ending up 8-8.

SPORTS MEDIA REPORTER: Hey Coach McVay, how many QBs do you carry on the Rams Roster?

SEAN McVAY: I have 2 QBs......
Goff,
and Gofful!!

[snackdaddy]

Goff is who he is. Sometimes he can have a great game. He can command his offense. When things are going smooth he's as good as anyone. But when things are hitting the fan he can be as bad as anyone. Sure, not being able to figure out how to protect has to fall on the line and coaches. But the turnovers were on him. And it coulda been worse as they dropped several potential picks.

Is there some rule in the NFL that you can't run the ball 4 or 5 times in a row? This was a terribly inefficient offensive game. Total clusterfook!

[moklerman]

It does make one wonder about the game plan. I mean, McVay obviously isn't perfect so it can't just be assumed that his play calling was fine. But, 20+ targets to Kupp?!? Kupp is a third down specialist/security blanket. Are they really featuring him that heavily in the offense or was Goff just playing with tunnel vision? With the way they were running and the weapons they have with the receiving corps, I don't understand why we aren't spreading the ball around a lot more?

[sloramfan]

say what you want about goff..

every mistake he made was miami pressure..

the fumble the int's...

stop blaming goff for absolute failure in pass protection...

the o-line and running backs let our QB down... so obvious

throwing passes that were tipped or strip sacks... that's on goff????

get a fucking clue... it takes a team effort to win in the nfl...

rant over... and i'm not happy..

go rams

I think we can argue in circles about Goff or the Coach.

Point is, Goff is not Mahomes or Russell. Some QBs respond and improvise. I think when Goff plays that style (or gets put in such situations) it ends like this.

Keep the pocket clean or roll him out with clear outs and he’ll be accurate. If our other skill players can’t do that against our opponents, then we need a run game that can get the 1st.

Hope things look better after the bye or we make some magic happen via a trade.

One good thing, great in our case, is that teams heavily self scout during the bye week. I hope MCV doesn’t look at plays like, “if we only did this then the play would have worked”. It’s not that simple. There is a reason this O is scoring so low. The scheme needs an overhaul and fast. The run game should be leaned on more heavily. It’s the only part of the O that is consistent. I dont know how you fix Goff under pressure (roll outs, better screens, runs that make those pressures pay dearly?), the OL issues, the STs. I do know you have 3 good RBs and some decent blocking TEs and WRs. I personally don’t want Goff throwing the a ball more than 30x/game unless our OL is flat stoning the pass rush.

So many things broke down all at once on 4 plays. Cost us any chance at winning and could have been avoided by all the guilty parties doing a much better job and making better decisions.

Next 4 games tell it all

[ziggy]

One thing I’ve never seen McV do is have a back up plan. How many times have we seen the Rams get exposed then the rest of the game is just sad trombone?

With a D that can hold, if love to see some creativity when things fall apart and we see a different brand of Rams come out at the half. It’s real demoralizing when teams figure us out and we just look lost.

Keeps happening and might be McV Achilles. Over scripting and no back up plan.
