That's where I'm at.

I know his value to this team, and I know he's not a finished product. Just enjoy it, like dang.
Right? In ways he's another underdog who's overcome every obstacle thrown at him. I don't expect him to be a HOF caliber QB in 3 years or ever, honestly. During his era we've been damn good. They're fun to watch again. Like you said, enjoy it because you need to keep this in mind:

Anthony Wright, Quincy Carter, Ryan Leaf, Cliff Stoerner, Chad Hutchinson, Drew Henson.

McVay was a key addition also but doubtful would have had as much success with prior QB’s.

Not sure why anyone would discount Goff’s impact and talent level? I have some suspicions.
Plenty were before Mcvay got there. Like nearly everyone who analyzes the game professionally.

Foles was there as a prior QB.

Possessions are important, yes, but even given an even number of possessions, the Rams held the ball for over 36 minutes, defenses are good for maybe 30 minutes, then fatigue sets in, for me the time of possession the Rams had in the first half wore down the Dallas defense, and combined with poor play calling by Linehan and Garrett, that was the difference...

Yea and they didn’t much with Foles or anyone until Goff.

No fascination... it's a dopey nickname, but we're rolling with it.

I did see/have seen the possession stuff but at the end of the day I'm not really moved by it. There is such a synergy between the two phases of the game that trying to blame one for the other is a pointless endeavor. If the defense doesn't allow the other team to run the ball at will all day, then the offense would have more possessions. If the offense wasn't so ineffective at scoring, the defense would have had more rest and the other team's offense would have had more pressure on them, which might have helped them not allow the other team to run all day.
Despite "only" giving up 30, I wouldn't say the defense did their job, far from it. But we knew what the Rams were going into the game.... they were almost invincible at home (despite our fan base laughably thinking we would have some edge because it was a "home" game). We needed better defense, a way better ground game, and lots of big plays from the passing and run game. We didn't get any of that.
Hahahahaahhahaahahah

You’re hilarious. You think you know football but you really, REALLY don’t.

30 points while RUSHING FOR 273 YARDS means you’re shortening the hell out of the game. That’s MUCH tougher to overcome than a team airing it out for 30 points with a quick-strike offense.

“DURRRR WHAT DO 8 POSSESSIONS AND 2.75 POINTS PER POSSESSION MEAN???”

Keep embarrassing yourself. Dak’s not going anywhere and your bottom lip will keep quivering.

Trying to decipher your stupid posts is always amusing... is this even English? "Shortening" the game is not a football term, so nobody knows what you're babbling about. The Rams were 3rd in the NFL in rushing, that's how they play. If you watched football, you would know this but you don't.

Go crawl back under your rock... you're dismissed.

Hahahahahahaha “3rd in rushing” hahahahahaha

DURRRRR 273 RUSH YARDS FROM THE RAMS IS TO BE EXPECTED, DAK SUX FOR NOT OVERCOMING THAT DURRRRR

I’m so sorry that you don’t know what shortening a game refers to. That’s how the Cowboys only had 8 possessions, clown.

I learned about that when I was like 10 years old watching the Triplets play. There’s clearly a LOT you don’t know.

The “Dak slobbberers” will be dancing on your grave when he signs a new deal. I’m sure you know THAT.

Hahahahahaha the Rams averaged 139 Rush yds per game, good for 3rd-best in the NFL like you said.

And you’re such a know-nothing troglodyte that you don’t see anything out of the ordinary with them essentially DOUBLING that total vs the Cowboys.

You do realize that this thread has been banished from the main board, and there’s no one left reading your brain dead mumblings? Very well, I’ll give it a shot.

Oh no! They shortened the game! Whatever will Dak do? May as well just quit, what’s the use of even playing. I certainly hope that Dak isn’t as gutless as his slobberers, or he’ll never beat those game-shortening Rams. They magically shorten the game, they really do

Here’s a homework assignment for you, Troglodyte.

Figure out where 2.75 pts/possession would’ve ranked during the regular season and/or postseason.

Dak did that with zero run game or defense, on the road in the playoffs.

Bad news, dummy: if you’re not football-smart or book-smart, that means you’re just a complete idiot.

And when Dak signs his new deal? You’ll be an even bigger LOSER in life than you already are.

"I don't know what the time of possession was," Parcells would say after the Giants' 20-19 victory over the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXV. "But the whole plan was try to shorten the game for them."


You inferior, stupid sack of sht. I know you’re embarrassed and that’s okay. You should be.

For some reason I think he’ll ignore that. Or act as if he did.

Truth hurts some people.

It is hard to believe he watches football and has never heard that extremely common term.

TROGLODYTE!!! is a perfect definition of who you are.

I had to walk into several of your dark, smelly, and unkempt homes while working as an engineer for a broadband company. I bet you still log onto CZ with a Compaq Presario and your desk is littered with phonebooks and news papers from the nineties.

I bet it must be hard when you come down from your meds and realize that you’re walking around in smelly, unkempt homes because you’re a maid, not an “engineer”. Nice fantasy story though.
