Meanwhile Goff with Detroit....

[Vitamike]

Just thought of this thread on Sunday, however wish I would have thought of it sooner because I think we can all have some fun with it.

 

[Vitamike]

Week 1
Stafford with the Rams goes 20-26 for 321 YDS & 3 TD's as the LA Rams defeat the Bears 34-14 in front of the first ever packed SoFi Stadium and starts the season 1-0!

Meanwhile Goff with Detroit.....
Goes 38-57, 338 YDS, 3 TD, 1 INT as the Detroit Lions outscore the 49ers 21-3 in the final Quarter +4 min to lose by 9, and starts out the season 0-1.

 

[Vitamike]

I mean Jared did throw 4 TD passes to lose by 8, too bad one of those TD's was a pick six!

 

[Vitamike]

Week 2
Stafford with the Rams goes 12 plays &, 55 yards in the closing minutes of the 4th quarter at Indy for his first 4th quarter comeback in horns, and the Rams move to 2-0 on the season.

Meanwhile Goff with Detroit.....
Starts out red hot on Monday Night Football besting Arron Rodgers & the Packers in the first half with near perfection and a 3 point lead. Then it's starts to rain in the second half, and Goff does Goff things as Goff with Detroit gets shut out with a couple of turnover while Rodger & the Pack score 21 unanswered points as the Lions move to 0-2 on the season.

 

[Vitamike]

He just looked so good to start out that game and then the wheels fell off, didn't they?

 

[Vitamike]

Week 3
Stafford with the Rams starts out shaky going 1 of 6 while facing the World Champion Bucs & Terrific Tom at SoFi, but he settles down,, and ends up going 27-38, 343 YDS, 4 TD's as the Rams take the W and move to 3-0 on the season.

Meanwhile Goff with Detroit.....
Struggles at home hosting the Ravens in a defensive game, but still goes 22-30 for 217 YDS in an effort which appeared to be his first 4th quarter comeback with his Lions outscoring the Ravens 17-3 in the final Quarter +5 min to go up by 1 save the final play where Justin Turner and the benefit of a no call delay of game kicks an NFL record breaking 66 yard Field Goal as the Lions move to 0-3 on the season.

 

[Vitamike]

What a way to lose!

He actually played well in the late 3rd and 4th quarters throwing for a ton of first downs in what really should have been his first 4th quarter comeback as a Lion.

It must suck to be a Lions fan, they did all the right things to beat Lamar Jackson and still get hosed on a missed delay of game and torched by an NFL record breaking Field Goal.

 

[Chilipepper]

GOFF SUCKS!

 

[Retroram52]

Goff is getting his seasoning. He is producing like Stafford did with the Lions but their is a pall of something hideous hanging over that franchise that just continues to rob wins. Perhaps Mr. Goff is now realizing his faux pau(s) of not taking his livelihood in LA seriously enough to be a diligent student of the game and being able to pinpoint his passes on the fly while accurately reading defenses. All that money corrupted Goff and he just thought his poo had no odor until one day, his boss got fed-up with his antics and moved his ass out of LA. I bet he is learning now (maybe).

 

[Rambunctious]

Goff can play if he has time to throw the ball. He needs more time to see the field, read the defense and throw the ball than an NFL quarterback has. And as the game wears on and the O-line gets tired he falls apart.
Goff is kind of like Jim Everett in that way.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

He still hasn't won an NFL game without McVay

 

[Vitamike]

Week 4
Stafford with the Rams has his worse start in Horns to date! (And could it get much worse? Well yeah, but he was just plain bad!) And even though McVay gives him his vote of confidence in the post game presser, he wont continue to do so if Matt has more games like this one. In what should have been a DeSean Jackson TD, if Matt didn't grossly under throw him becomes Matt's first INT of the afternoon. On a later drive on what should have been a Cooper Kupp TD, Matt misses badly to the right of the route. On another drive, Matt gets bailed out after taking a hand to the top of his helmet resulting in a roughing the passer penalty, that should have been yet another INT.

Not sure what was going on, and with only a 1 point half time deficit, one might think they would straighten the ship with the way the running game was clicking, instead the Defense does a Houdini & disappears, and the Rams get embarrassed at SoFi giving away sole control of the NFC West!

Next up...

The 3-1 Rams, on a short week & National stage, face the 2-2 Seahags at Lumen Field for Thursday Night Football. The Rams can move back into first place next week with a win in Seattle (With a little help from the hated ones as the 9ers travel to Zona) Or they can find themselves as much as 2 games out by the end of Week 5. Stay Tuned!

Meanwhile Goff with Detroit.....
.... continues to do Goff things on the road in Chicago, and losses to a rookie QB who threw for a total of 67 yards the week prior and making his 2nd career start ever. Down 7 points, Goff moves his team 63 yards to first and goal to the Bears 8 and losses the shotgun exchange. Sure it looked like it was on the Center as Goff was trying to set up blocker as the ball gets snapped but who knows? Now down 14 points, Goff moves his team 70 yards to first and goal again to the Bears 5 and Goff goes 0 for 2 and scrambles for 2 yards, but still turns the ball over once again, this time on downs and an incomplete pass. Still in the 1st half, the defense hold up forces a 3 and out and Goff moves his team 35 yards to first and goal again to the Bears 8, and this time at the 3 on 3rd down, fumbles the ball and the Bears recover and the Bears go into the half up 14. Now down 21 -0 half way through the 3rd, Goff moves his team to first and goal to the Bears 8 and finally throws for the TD. Now down 24-7 to end the 3rd, Goff moves his team 44 yars to the Bears 25 and throw his 2nd TD, so Lions down by 10 with plenty of time. The Lions defense holds for a 3 and out and with 7 and a half minutes. So you guessed it, Goff moves his team 75 yards to the Bears 8, but he needed to get to the Bears 7 as it was 3rd down, and he throws incomplete on 4th down. That was pretty much the game and the Lions move to 0-4 on the season.

Next up...

The 0-4 Lions travel to face the 1-3 Vikings, and it wont be pretty. The Vikes three losses are by a combined total of 11 points.....

True, but in all fairness, he really should have.

Last week he had a 4th quarter comeback, but still got beat by a made Field Goal that bounced off the crossbar as time expired, and that kick was further than any made Field Goal ever in the NFL.

And the play before was a delay of game that wasn’t called.

Should have been a 71 yard FG attempt. Lol

I’m rooting for my Lions and your Rams to lose every week anyway. Was ready for the next draft before this season even started.

The Lions need to lean on their run game more in the red zone.

I don’t understand why they don’t when they have 2 good RB’s and a good OL.

 

[Mebert]

HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!! Goff has more checkdown ability in his pinky finger than your entire team has combined!

 

[Vitamike]

The Lions need to lean on their run game more in the red zone.

I don’t understand why they don’t when they have 2 good RB’s and a good OL.

Well they did try to use their run game, and they had problems in the red zone there.

Also you would think with all those trips in the red zone (I think it was 5) they would come away with more than 7 points.

Too bad they can't lean more on their Coaching! (Going for it on 4th down with tons of time left in a defensive game, and up against a rookie QB who had 67 yards the week prior is mind blowing)

Just imagine if they played for a field goal every time they were in the red zone they would have had 15 points on FG and with those 7 points they got from outside the red zone they would have scored more than 14 points.

So they likely end the game with 22 points, and would have only lost the game by 2, that's better by 8 points, right?

Seriously, they maybe trade one of those 5 inside the red zone for a TD (They did convert 1 of those 5 inside the red zone for a TD) instead of turning the ball over so much in the red zone like they did and win the dammed game, right?

 

[Vitamike]

And the play before was a delay of game that wasn’t called.

Should have been a 71 yard FG attempt. Lol

I agree to an extent...

No way do they kick a 71 yard FG, they keep the ball in LJ's hands & with your HC's luck, your HC gets beat as time expires on a miraculous Lamar run to the end zone, or a miraculous hail mary heave & catch in the end zone or better yet just short and a miraculous run to the end zone after the catch!

I just don't believe there is a way to beat miracles, so make no mistake.......... between the no call delay of game, the 2 yards greater of an attempt than what has ever been made, plus all of the 'hits the crossbar and goes through' attempts, it was clearly a miracle win.

So in essence, you can change the miracle scenario, but if it's gonna be a miracle, you can't change the miracle outcome!

 

[Old Lion]

I am 1 Lions fan that hopes Stafford gets you a SB this year. Heck maybe Goff can be your backup in a couple years as we will be on to someone new.

 

[Vitamike]

I am glad a few of you Lions fans chimed in on this thread @broncosmitty; @Mebert ; @Old Lion !

Did any of you see that performance this week from Matt? I mean it looked like Staff when ever they zoomed in on the telecast. It did say No 9 with Stafford on the back, but that was in no way the same guy we LA Rams fans saw in Weeks 1, 2 & 3!

Can you explain to us Rams fans on what we saw? Have you seen it before? I mean that was totally a different dude out there!

What the hell was that!

Did we get fleeced?

Nah he does that from time to time. Just flakes out. He is one of the most overall talented QBs in the league. If he is out of sync watch out. He throws so hard that if he is off bad things happen more than they do for other QBs. Then he tries too hard to adjust and throws balls in the dirt.

You want these games out of the way here and there and then hope he gets hot come playoff time.
