That's a draft pick the Rams didn't miss on ... Dude is a monster..
Simple Answer is Yes!And if the Chiefs go down to score with 1 minute left like they have all year what then? Goff still “proven”?
You’re proven when you win big games. He had his moments last night for sure but the defense gets the game ball last night. It’s obvious

Last night was a great game. If you disagree, then you will be in the vast minority which is fine.Who says low scoring, shitty games....are good games? You and I see differently as to what a great game is. I think games filled with turnovers and penalties severely curtail the definition of a great game.
Simple Answer is Yes!
He did everything he was supposed to do. When did he fail in a game where he had to perform? He performed. he didnt falter. So if the Mahomes went back down & scored on the Rams defense what are you saying? All of a sudden Goff is now unproven? (because he was on the sidelines)
This is a bit rich coming from a team fresh off of giving up a bajillion points to Nick Foles and the Eagles in the SB
Whats sad is half of those draft picks would've busted if you still had Jeff FisherNot the only one, Last years draft class, was one of the best, hit on all
Justin Houston, Dee Ford, Chris Jones, Kendall Fuller, Steven NelsonThey didn't give up 51...........AND the eagles played something that the Chiefs have no ceoncept of............................D-E-F-E-N-S-E . They also got beat by the Patriots because they couldn't play it against them.........
Eric Berry is not going to change the other 10 guys who can't play defense.
I certainly didn't equate low scoring with quality of play. I've already stated that the exact opposite also rings true - when the game was overly defensive in the mid-late 70's. The fact of the matter is, this era severely nullifies defenses and greatly aids the passing game...and eventually it just bores me. Had the game been at least more cleanly played, with simply great passing beating decent coverage, it would've greatly improved the situation.
Ok enough of the kool aid. Was he good? Yes. Is he young? Yes. But he also missed a few open passes badly. Rams also get blasted without a lot of Chief flags early and 2 defensive TDs. At home
Goff did lead a comeback late in Q4 and our defense held them off.
Defense gets the game ball and they were the reason we won. McVay forgot about Gurley and went Mike Martz late giving KC more than 1 minute left.
A lot of maturing needed and that takes time. I’d rather have Mahomes than Goff all day
I'm not giving the defense that much credit. Allowing 44 points isn't nullified by 5 turnovers and 14 points scored directly by the defense. Think about that, the Rams stopped two drives with turnovers for immediate points, 2 late drives with INTs, and another drive with a strip sack that eventually became a TD by the offense and STILL allowed 51 pts. 480 yards passing. 100 yards rushing at 5 yards/carry. Only 3 punts.
2 defensive TDs and we held them
With a minute left. Without the TDs it’s not really that close
....because the defense allowed 44 pts.
Even with the amount of penalties we were getting called for us and the defensive touchdowns, the Chiefs we’re still in the game and at times up a bit.
I think you’re underestimating how good the Chiefs offense is and how big the stops were that we had late in the fourth quarter on defense.
Defense came up really huge in that game many times.
Rams offense was stopped 5 times (4 punts, 1 TO). Chiefs were stopped 8 times (5 TOs, 3 punts). I would say the Rams offense was a bigger part, with a few key plays by the defense. It's really tough to rep a defense that made 8 stops all day vs 7 scoring drives. This Rams defense has me worried.

Maybe the Cards? @ Denver? Those are two games they were without Watkins (also both of them are good on D) so it's a lot less of a prayer to slow down the Chiefs.i wonder if any team this season has stopped chiefs drives more than they've allowed scoring drives in any game ? even last week when the chiefs only scored 26 pts, their lowest pt total of the year, 5 of their 10 drives were scoring drives .....
Do you think the Rams offense is more potent the Chiefs? I don’t. If that game is in KC and we get zero defensive touchdowns it’s a blowout.

The Chiefs “still” scored 2.9 per drive IIRC, which is pretty fuckin' nuts considering they were stopped 8 different times; albeit the last two were sorta kinda desperation.
Just got to tip your hat to the Rams DL for tipping the balance just enough. Coin flip type game.
