If you want to win in the playoffs you have to pay very good teams. The only two not-great teams right now are playing each other with Eagles-Buccs.

Motown Bombers Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Just now, buddha said: matt. patricia. Their defense was struggling before Patricia was calling plays. Patricia also didn't design the offense. Hurts has also regressed to his 2021 self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 How much of a worry is it that Sean McVay knows all of Goff's tendencies and will bring his defense ready to play, with a blitz-heavy scheme against him? I am certainly worried about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certainly worried about that. Goff literally carved up the most blitz heavy team in the league twice. He also carved up the 2nd most blitz heavy team. Goff is very good against the blitz. Flores was supposed to have had Goff's number. There's a difference between blitz and pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordstanley Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Even if the Lions had “rested their starters”, do we really think LaPorta wouldn’t have got some throws to him? I think it would have been about resting and protecting Goff, St. Brown, Gibbs and Hutchison, maybe Montgomery. Laporta would have been well down the list. And Raymond is exactly who would have been getting more action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certainly worried about that. Does he? Goff is a better QB than he was in LA, and the Lions O-Line is better than LA's D-line. You could just as easily say that McVay should be worried that Goff knows his tendencies, and can adjust the defense accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could just as easily say that McVay should be worried that Goff knows his tendencies, and can adjust the defense accordingly. I'd certainly say that Goff is a more confident version of himself than he was in LA playing under McVay. Which in turn has made him a better QB and decisive with the types of throws and reads he feels he is capable of making. I do still worry that McVay knows the game plan on how to beat Goff. But as MB said earlier, a blitz-heavy scheme may not be as effective as I fear and its more the pressure that counts than simply dialing it up against Goff. If we can keep the pocket clean and pressure away from him than hopefully he can look strong against the Rams D, even if he is lack a few weapons (LaPorta and Raymond) to be able to light them up.
