    AJ was doubled all last year and still had a monster season. Expect AJ targets to go up with a slight decrease in efficiency. TDs  will likely go up without Henry taking most of them.

    Their entire offense is based on Henry.  You think they can just switch up now and it doesn't hurt AJ?  Defenses completely change what they do now.

    It'll be Brady, Brady, Brady..... and he did really nothing special to win this game at all.  Just along for the ride. Hes good at that though.

    No way.  Tampa was 7-9 last year.  Brady IS why they're here and why they're the best team on the field right now.  The man is a winner.

    I hadn't thought to look at Detroit's contracts, but you're right, he a UFA. I guess I knew that from a different discussion but forgot about it. Can't blame anyone that wants out of Detroit, I agree.

    Hell no.  Anyone who puts their time in for the Lions deserves to get out.  Godspeed Marvin Jones

    Another offense upside for Goff is the run game, I like Swift more than I like Akers.  

    I think Goff could be going to a good spot for him.  

    I think the lions had to one on from Stafford , I like their return. 

    I think Stafford should be a very exciting addition for the rams coach.  

    But with Golladay, Hockensen, and M Jones and Swift , they could be a very productive offense with Goff, plus they’ll need to be , no def.  

    You like Swift more than Akers?  Akers was beginning to look like a star in the making when he began getting the bulk of the carries.  A workhorse but I could see them adding a 3rd RB.

    Swift looks good too and I can see Goff dumping off to him plenty.

    Marvin Jones has publicly stated he can't wait to get to FA.  Golladay has sounded like he's interested in coming back but Jones sounds like he wants out.  Can't blame him.  Ford family are born losers

    I agree the Lions have the better offensive supporting cast. It's relatively close though. Whereas he's going from arguably the worst defense to the best defense.

    Yeah fantasy wise this trade is likely better for Goff than Stafford, assuming Goff has a clear hold on the Lions starting job come FF draft time.

    I want to wait and see with both the Rams and Lions. Both have good receivers...... Lions with possibly Golladay, Sanu, and Hockenson.  Rams with Woods, Kupp, Reynolds, and others.  But neither team really has a speedster who can take the top off the defense.  Both could use one

    Yeah, it's his job to know, but if he made a mistake... then I would only rag on him for making a bad mistake.  I'll take your word for it that he did it to avoid a hit, which then makes him defenseless.  I was never a very big fan of Goff's, so I don't have a hard time believing that at all.  McVay wasn't the one who drafted Goff, so I don't have a hard time believing that McVay doesn't like him either.  Seems like McVay should have had a bigger input on that extension.

    He wasn't the guy who actually decided to draft Goff but Brad Holmes, Detroit's new GM, was director of college scouting for the rams at the time and pushed for Goff to be the pick.  Brad obviously still believes in Goff....... unless of course he decides to trade him away.

    Did he say he had thought he reached the yard to gain... or was he just being a vag?  I didn't watch the game or see the play, so I don't know.

    I watched the replay a few times.  Could he have not realized where he was when sliding?  Absolutely.  But isn't it his job to know where he is and what he needs?  You can see he goes down in anticipation of being hit.  

    Everything I've read or watched has stated that McVay and the rams don't feel like they can win with Goff.  They felt that they had to make a move.

    Carolina offered them the 8th overall pick and another later pick.  Detroit beat writer wishes they had taken that to get a much better chance for an elite player.

    Lot of Lion fans are hoping detroit turns and tries to get more draft compensation for Goff.  There were teams asking the Rams if they were looking to trade him.  Lions are going to stink the next couple years, why not sign fitzmagic or tyrod taylor for cheap and get something for goff?

    I do think that Carroll slinked off to Seattle.  

    Urban is a great college coach.  One of the best ever.  But he's got the biggest ego you'll ever see and has a history of ducking out when things get complicated

    I disagree that Goff is fine with losing. 

    I do think over all talent, Stafford is better. 

    Now the Rams will be better , they have the better def, and the Rams were better with Goff, then the Lions were with Stafford, and I do disagree that Goff is happy about losing, but I do think the Lions might be. 

    And I do think Stafford is going to win games that Goff wouldn’t have, doesn’t mean Goff is happy is losing. 

    But based on ff, I think they will be about the same or close to the same based on avg points per game, so I’ll wait for Goff , while I think Stafford will be drafted higher then usual. 

     

     

    I'm sure Goff wants to win but while Stafford came back into a game with a broken collar bone to throw a game winning TD, Goff has 3rd and 8 in the last minute of the half playing against Seattle in a huge divisional matchup this year.......and he chooses to slide after running 7 yards.  There is definitely a difference between the two quarterbacks.

    I read a LA beat writer tweet that play was the straw that broke the camel's back

    I never understood this line of thinking.  They guy is 12-3 in bowl/playoff games and has 3 Championships.  He got to a bowl game every year he was eligible for, since leaving Bowling Green.  In two years, he took a no-name school from nowhere to top 5 in the country.  He won 85% of the games he coached.  I mean, there aren't many coaches who have a better resume... especially not in the last 30 years.  What, a handful?

    The line of thinking is he's an arrogant a$$ who conveniently has health issues whenever his loosely run programs has a scandal.  

    Just my humble opinion though

    If Golladay stays with the Lions, I think it’s a good chance that Goff and Stafford per game avg would be very close to the same. 

    The 2 may have similar stats but there's a reason why the Rams did this.  McVay isn't stupid.  Stafford is a leader, a clutch player, has a gun and isn't afraid to use it, and has a ton more heart.  Stafford will win them games that Goff wouldn't have.  Goff is soft and is fine with losing.  

    As a Lions fan I really hope they draft a good replacement soon.  They'll never go anywhere with Goff
