Call it a slave driver mentality if you like, but I'm happy - as a fan, that we get to see another week of competitive Rams football with all or most of the guns on the field and firing, and I'm happy as well - as a mode of defense. If Chicago lost, the starters would rest and it would be three weeks before the next time they take the field.

The Rams have not figured this out yet, they need more work ramping up to the good teams again.

Yesterday was fun to see CJ light it up, the O-line block well, and the D show up to close the door after halftime. Jared Goff still drives me crazy, but after that "I hate this guy" moment, he managed a pretty good effort the rest of the way, and I like him again - so it's all good But they still have work to do to get to where they can counter good teams and the creative strategies they will implement against them. I was glad to finally see some flexibility in formations and definitely glad to see the jet back in heavy doses. But more work needs to be done.

And we get to see another awesome home Rams game - so the selfish is in too

Agree, 3 weeks of rest would not be good. They need another competitive game to get them ready for the playoffs.

I hate the Niners but they are playing well. We should beat them and if we don’t that tells me we’ll be one and done in the playoffs.

Looking forward to this game! Go RAMS!!!

I’ve been tough on Goff the last few weeks.

But I’m fair, I think.

After that strip sack yesterday, I feared he would lose it. And to be fair, it wasn’t the worst strip sack, he was under heavy pressure and didn’t do anything stupid.

But to his credit, he was undaunted and determined the rest of the game. That last pass to Woods was a beauty.

The key was McVay getting back to pounding the ball and CJA shocking the Cards and most of us. That’s Rams football. Not Goff thowing the ball 40 times.

Right now, Goff is a complimentary piece, not the centerpiece of this offense. He was never an MVP candidate, IMO. Typically, as with all QBs, he got too much credit when things were good, and too much blame when they were bad.

You wanna know about QB credit?

How much credit does Foles get and how much does Wentz get based on their results this year?

I too have been leaning toward Goff being closer to "GOOF" than to "Go-Off." But I do admire his short memory on mistakes. Let us arm-chairs remember for him. I'm sure he'd rather have i that way too.

This reminded me of a game I posted back in the Fisher days.

We should all play a game called "Goff or Goof". Each week we try to predict which QB is going to show up.

GOFF

OR

GOOF

LOL - the White Erkel.
