The people trying to blame this one on Goff are missing the bigger picture.

Sure, he didn't have a good game and threw a bunch of picks.  But in reality, both of the INTs at the end of each half were because they were pressing because they were losing by so much, which was in large part because they couldn't stop anyone on defense.

You score 31 points in a playoff game and you win that game 7 times out of 10. 

Hard to stop the other team when you were as hurt as the Lions were on defense this year, their injury situation was next level type of bad.  If they had even a halfway decent defense right now, Goff isn't pressing as much and it's a totally different game.

Having said that, yea he was bad this game, but it's not all on him.

It's fair to wonder if Goff did get a concussion on that play and they cut corners on the protocol to keep him in the game. Doubt it'll ever get looked into though.

This is just who he is. The brighter the lights, the dimmer he gets.

It's always been on him. The defense has been letting up points due to injuries, so it was always going to be on the offense to outscore people.

The biggest picture you are missing is that this is always what Jared Goff has done. Look at every playoff loss in his career and the flaws are obvious. It's not a fixable thing. It's between his ears.

Yeah, but when you finally get that 1 seed it sucks to go out like that

Sure but it's easy to understand being disappointing when it has happened your whole life. Sadly, a lot of our fans will be this way eventually.

      ESPN's All Quarter Century Team 2000-2025

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.

      So where can I find out tailgating parking spots for the season?

      By toldozer · Posted

      I parked in this lot a few times. It would take over and hour to get out of that lot after games. Never again
