NFL 2020

[User62651]

Interesting little snippet from the BBC NFL show's Osi and Jason on the controversial 4th down decision by Green Bay. Why it was taken.
Rodgers - not sure if he's saying (without saying) that he disagrees with the coach's call or if it was just deflation in the press room from losing the game. Guessing former?

Points on the board can’t be taken away once they’re earned.
I’m sure they hoped for a takeaway and a scoring drive but it never happened and they lost. Percentage play in the eyes of the coach I am sure.

Personally. I’d have gone for it.

Rodgers is a notoriously moody individual but anything any player says straight after a loss like that can be taken with a pinch of salt. Like a lot of player quotes to be honest.

The Bucs had a real *** wide receiver in the Super Bowl who announced four days before the game that he was done talking to the media forever.
Bucs then win and said player is trying to talk to everyone - proud to say that my colleagues at the then Tampa Tribune refused to speak to him and never used any of his lines anywhere in their many stories.
And this guy now works for ESPN.

The choice was try to score the touchdown and then also get the two-point conversion. If you fail on either, you need another possession. At least with the TD, a fieldgoal would then win it.
Taking the fieldgoal meant you HAD to get another possession but then just a TD would win.
The Packers never got the ball back.

I have listened to a bunch of podcasts and radio shows discussing this ad nauseam. The general consensus is that he should have gone for it but then hindsight is 20-20.

Shouldn't have given up the touchdown just before halftime. ?

As I saw it, if they had gone for the TD and failed the Bucs get the ball more or less near there goal line. There was chance GB could of had possession again in a good field position. Alas we will never find out.

Didn't they say on commentary something like that GB are 24/25 on 3rd down (no 1 in league) and being in red zone it was a given that they would go for it on 4th? Anyway, the way i see it, they didn't max their chances when Brady was having his moments of throwing picks in the second half.

Stafford to the Rams, they could be contenders next year ?

 

[FELL75]

two future first-round draft picks and a third-round pick. Some deal!

 

[Green Man]

The Rams have had to give the Lions an extra 1st just to take Goff’s contract.

 

[Captainron]

Goff's cap hit in 2021 would be $32M so he is not going anywhere right now. And it is unlikely they will find anyone worthwhile late in the first round. Both the Rams and Eagles are now seriously regretting the contract extensions they gave Goff and Wentz for the cap hits they are now incurring.

I called it. He’s gone!

 

[azazel]

player for player the Rams surely got the best of that deal: the question is how well can Detroit utilise all the picks to take advantage in the long term?

This was Goff's contract that he signed in 2019 beginning in 2021. The trade cannot take effect until the start of the 2021 cap year in March but I think on my rough calculations it is going to cost the Rams $20M+ against their 2021 cap to trade him. When the Lions picked up a former Ram front office staffer as their new GM, something like this was always likely to happen. This does give Captainron at least two minutes of bragging rights on the Zoom call this week.

Jared Goff signed a 4 year, $134,000,000 contract with the Los Angeles Rams, including a $25,000,000 signing bonus, $110,042,682 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $33,500,000. In 2021, Goff will earn a base salary of $25,325,000 and a roster bonus of $2,500,000, while carrying a cap hit of $27,825,000 and a dead cap value of $43,325,000.

Thanks for hosting the Zoom call Paul. Awesome to have an expert to tap into. Good luck to your Bucs this weekend.

Second that. I was definitely the 28 handicapper in the 5 ball, but enjoyed it and learnt a bit before my early departure to the soccer. Thanks Paul, good luck for the Super Bowl.
