Takes like THAT are exactly why Inavoided the chat today. This game turned on, as most games do - especially close ones, on 3-4 plays.

We can all complain about the use or lack of or whatever with TG and the run game as a whole. Not using or perhaps being able to use the TEs was a huge problem. And the one play where we could have cashed in to Everett, Goff throws a deep 9-route to Cooks who was covered in man with safety help over the top - extremely low percentage throw. And Everett was WIDE open. BB gave us the TEs. Total away most everything else. But actually took the TEs always as he forced them to be used to block almost exclusively.

Oh well. Live and learn Sean and Jared. This one will sting for a while.

This is why I said they embarrassed themselves. 3rd and 2, 14 yard sack was nice. Your elite QB should be able to make those reads.

Let the guy vent.

He's welcome to his opinion, and it's hard not to agree.

I wondered about that myself. I guess it just came down to trust. But Everett really seemed to be coming on late in the season.

any decent performance today and we're champs, instead we got

1. Jared Goff looking like a bust fraud bum
2. Sean McVay being exposed by Belichek not a little, but by miles
3. Our vaunted Oline being embarrassed

Always tough being a fan of this franchise.

You want to pay Goff 100 million? Highly debatable after what I've seen since mid November and I don't want to hear about Cooper Kupp injury excuse.

What a joke today was

I'll grant you #2 and give you a pass on #3, but your take on Goff is just wrong. I think it was expected he'd have some early jitters, but overall I thought he came close to matching the so-called GOAT. Consider that Goff was throwing into much tighter windows. If Cooks comes down with that TD catch on a great throw, I'd say Goff outplayed the GOAT up to that point and it's a tie game.

Goff is tough as nails and stays pretty composed. He’s a cool customer.
And yet he’s unfortunately only 23 years old... showed it last night. He’s not there where he can carry the team, but he’s getting there. I wouldn’t take any other qb if given the choice.

Goff is 24, but now will be going into his 4th year. Rams will not extend him. He needs to take another step next year. If he's "still learning to deal with pressure" at this point next year, I'd think hard before investing a big contract in him.

[BuiltRamTough]

I said some stuff yesterday that I didn’t mean. It’s just frustration and the alcohol.

I cussed him out and called Goff a loser and a bum. Just venting man. A couple of plays here and there and we would’ve won the game.

So you think they are going to decline his 5th year option?
That’s absurd

Fans can be very knee jerk with their post game reactions. If they were in charge there would be a new coach after every loss. Every losing quarterback would be traded along with other players across the board. Fortunately, teams operate with a bigger picture in mind.

Yes, Goff played poorly. Yes, McVay was out coached. Yes, the line played poorly. But you know what? They were pretty darn good most the season. One game isn't going to define them.


When they lost that playoff game to Atlanta it stung. But it taught them something. After an 11 win season and division title they came back this year a little smarter. They won 13 games and were the NFC champions.


You don't think when McVay woke up this morning he isn't already thinking about how they check this one last box? The Superbowl? Believe me, he's going to be determined. Maybe even obsessed with coming back and finishing the job.


This team is going to be a force for many years. Goff is going to be the quarterback of that force. For those in the shortsighted crowd, you might as well accept it. If it pains you that much to see Goff as their long term future you might wanna think about another bandwagon. He's going nowhere. Top 5 quarterbacks don't grow on trees.
