duh?

honestly, i have no idea what you're trying to get at? was your "Especially if you're from LA and you have to go play in Chicago in December." serious?

[SWAdude]

eh?

Yeah, thinking the same.

I find this random connection of cold weather and the Rams losing as an avenue to feel self-important interesting.

I can't tell if this is gloating or allowing to excuse the poor play of our beloved Rams to feel confident on our run this year.

Either way, its kind of certifiable.

It means its harder to beat a good D in the cold, especially when you're not used to the cold.

given the context, i thought he was for sure kidding, but maybe he wasn't?

i mean didn't "the guy from chicago" stink it up (arguably) as bad as "the guy from l.a."? so i guess we could say "especially if you're from chicago or l.a. and have to play in the cold...." right? more nonsense from what i can tell.

QB Jared Goff -- born in CA, played at Cal, plays pro ball for L.A., and has small hands -- in 2 games this season in sub-30-degree temps:

34-of-72 passing (47.2%) for 381 yards (5.3 YPA), 0 TDs, 5 INTs.

I wish we could do a better job of defining what we're arguing about here.

I mean the idea that Goff has played poorly on the road in cold weather against good defenes this year is undeniable. It's happened in Denver and now Chicago.

Are we saying weather can't be considered as a factor?

New Olreans was a road game, hostile environment, good defense and Goff had a great game.

I think it's absolutely a legitimate issue and topic for conversation.

But does it mean Goff isn't there yet, isn't on par with his peers? Well i think that's where we're going off the rails.

Would be nice if we could try and be a little more clear what it is we're arguing about, and maybe even try to make it a little less personal?

As it happens, on this one issue (Goff in the Chi game), the poster was right about some stuff. It's no big deal to say so.

I think the Rams lost because of the weather.

Was it THE reason? No. But it was certainly an ingredient in my mind.
