If I know Ben Johnson, he has a few plays for the kid. I hope we get to see him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was hard getting to 53, but it will be even harder getting to 48 on game days when everyone is healthy. Good problem to have though. If I had to guess, DPJ will be activated today, if only because he already knows the playbook and Allen/Patrick haven't had time to learn it as well if someone goes down and we need our WR5 to step up. Then on Sunday, the five not dressing will be Giovanni Manu, Trevor Nowaske, Loren Strickland, Iffy Melifonwu, and one of DJ Reader (if he can't go), Michael Niese, or Sione Vaki. Maybe Khalil Dorsey but if Iffy and Strickland are both out then probably not. Depends on where they prefer the depth though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Kelly Stafford sets the Rams fan straight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make it inaccurate cause "Super Bowl Win" didn't come with the trade. Also Might as well include "division title, playoff wins and franchise relevancy for first time in 30+ years" in the Lions column then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 (edited) At the end of 2021 Goff was outplaying Stafford despite playing for a terrible Lions team. He won offensive player of the week 2 times in the final 6 weeks and in which he had 3 different games of 110+ QB rating. Yes it's a assumption but assuming he played at a similar level with a more talented Rams team there's no reason to think he couldn't have taken them through the playoffs that year too. It bears repeating that Rams team had one of the easiest playoff slates you can possibly get with a free falling Arizona team who Goff destroyed a month earlier, a Bucs team missing several important players, a relatively average(for an NFC Championship game opponent) SF team missing Trent Williams and a young Bengals team who only 9 games in the regular season. A Goff led team could've easily won all those games as well. So to sum it up yes I'm making some assumptions but I just think it's lazy when people(not saying HolyGoat I'm speaking in general since the media always says this as well) just say "well the trade won the Rams a Super Bowl so it worked out for them" when they very well may have won 1 or more if they stuck with Goff and either used those draft picks on other players in trades or drafted the right players. Goff led Rams team made the Super Bowl and was in the playoffs the year prior so they were right there. It would be like us trading Goff and 2 1sts this past offseason for a different QB and we end up winning the Super Bowl this year with said QB. Would we automatically just assume that the only reason we won that Super Bowl was because of that trade? I know I wouldn't.

holygoat Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Goff was a struggling QB under McVay, to the point where he completely lost his HC's trust. Stafford walked in and won a Super Bowl, so yeah, that trade did work out for LA. You can't just brush that aside. Goff walked into a situation where his new HC and GM had confidence in him, and built a team to accentuate his strengths. Bottom line, I don't think Goff would've won a Super Bowl with a McVay-led Rams, but I think he absolutely could in Detroit. This trade worked out for both teams in a way that will forever be the gold standard example of Trades That Worked Out For Both Teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gilmore Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 My take is that McVay is an egomaniac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP_Fan Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 NFL network replaying rams Lions divisional game. Those lions jerseys were so freaking sharp. I don’t get why they felt the need to downgrade and go to a cheap rip off of the Barry years. It sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue was perfect offset by a nice gray. This is a clear down grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
