Absolutely on the WR. A perfect throw. 100% not Stafford’s fault.

Exactly

I haven’t been watching but I can tell you it wasn’t Stafford’s fault. Never is.

Buddy Guy’s was shutdown when I was there in July. Enjoy Derek & Susan. I know you’ve seen them many times but they are awesome!

After years of neglect the USC job is now a total rebuild. The cupboard is absolutely empty for the next coach coming in. There’s very little high end talent on the roster. I can’t see how it won’t take at least 2 years to get back to 10 win territory. They are pretty tight lipped about this search but it seems they would like to name a coach in early December before the early signing window. The AD hired Fickell to Cincy and he has been viewed as the favorite. He also worked with Eric Bieniemy and his name has been mentioned as well. An outside candidate like a Campbell or Aranda have also been mentioned. Don’t count out something completely off the board that nobody saw coming. It’s USC so that’s always possible.

This is exactly how I felt before the season. I thought he was better than he has turned out to be. Not sure what happened but this guy has lost it. He has regressed to a point that he’s not a capable starting NFL QB. He is completely immobile in the pocket. He may be the biggest statue in the league back there. He has a hard time holding the ball when hit and fumbles too often. He fails to look down the field at all and throws a very poor long ball in the few times that he has let it go. Even his accuracy on short balls that NFL qbs make 99% of the time have been suspect. He panics under pressure and makes terrible decisions in crunch time. The only positive thing is that his height makes it so that his passes are rarely deflected. This is not the same guy that took the Rams to the Super Bowl.

Either draft one or find one already in the league. We all know that Goff isn’t the future at QB so it makes no sense to waste another year of the rebuild with him starting.

Respectfully, I think you are both nuts to think it would be ok to go into next year with Goff as QB1.

I’m talking about next year and beyond. They can do whatever this year. Hopefully they can win a game but it’s a lost season. I don’t think Blough or Boyle are part of the future either but it can’t hurt to give a shot to see if they are even capable backups (Boyle more than Blough). However they go about it either draft or bringing in a veteran placeholder is fine. Goff can’t remain as starter in 2022. Can you imagine how this town will react if they go into next year with Goff again. Oh my god, Holmes and Campbell will have lost the fanbase in 1 year. Even Millen went longer than that.

I agree it was worth the look. It hasn’t worked. Now they need to look for an exit plan. It would be an incredible error to stick with any plans that still include him for next year.

There is no faith left for Goff. LA dumped him and the Lions soon will. He has no future as an NFL starting QB. There is no way they expected him to play this poorly when they traded for him and then reworked his contract. I know they had a plan that included him for 2022 but it doesn’t make any sense to waste more time with this guy beyond this year. How in the world can they trot this guy out as their starter next year? This has turned out to be an atrocious move by Holmes. Goff is the most overpaid player in the league and Holmes must cut bait as soon as possible. Take your medicine and move on.

I almost added a caveat to the end of my post that said unless they are trying to tank. Which frankly at this point would probably be the better move for the future.

You misunderstood. I am not calling for them to give the job to Blough and make him QB1. I am calling for them to bench Goff during a game when he’s doing nothing positive and try something different. Maybe the current version of Blough is able to give the team a spark that Goff has proven he can’t. I am confident that the best thing for locker room dynamics at the moment is a win and the players won’t care one bit who gets benched for that to happen.

I think everyone can agree that Goff is terrible and will not be part of the future plans. I am confused at why they keep trotting him out there and not giving Blough a shot. Look, I don’t think he will do any better with the talent on offense but why not try something different. Even today with Goff banged up they still stick with him. Do not get it at all. When Boyle gets healthy they really need to give him a look to see if they have anything more than a backup. I doubt that will happen though the way Campbell has his head in the sand when it comes to Goff.

They have had a bye week to correct the awfulness they showed the last time out. I think they will look much better defensively (it’s hard to look worse) but Watt and Heyward will most likely destroy any offensive gameplay the Lions draw up. PITT 24 LIONS 19 Late TD gives them a back door cover but Steelers control most of the game

No Ben means no chance the Steelers overlook the Lions. Not good.

I think Harbaugh is a more viable candidate for USC right now.

Lots of people would have to say no before this would happen.

Nobody that has watched Making A Murderer should be surprised by this Wisconsin judge.

Shooting live ammo from an assault rifle is an extremely effective method of removing graffiti.

I don’t get it for either side but yes it will be fun to watch.

I am surprised at how quickly Evan Mobley has made an impact. It was always about what he could become in 3 or 4 years when he put on some weight and improved his shot. To see him putting up solid numbers now when he is still so raw offensively makes me believe the hype that he really could be 1sr team all-nba in 2025.

Good call

This looks to be such a weak draft class. So very thin on playmakers.

Agree. This was a busted season to begin with thanks to Quintricia. The mistake wasn’t taking a flyer on Goff, it will be sticking with him as QB1 starting whenever Boyle is cleared to play. He needs a shot to see what they have.
