I think Monty was a little gimpy after he came back. He didn't run with the same authority or power and I think it contributed to his fumble.
I think he will miss practice time this week.

By the way, I know everybody is rocking the GRIT gear, but I might get a Lions shirt made up that says COMPLEMENTARY FOOTBALL

The Ringer called Goff one of the winners of the weekend. They pointed out that Flores was practically the architect for Goff's downfall in LA and that he's now completely slayed that demon.Originally posted by Mainevent View PostRemember when the playbook was to get pressure on Goff?
Goff faced pressure on a season-high 51.7% of his dropbacks, going 10-of-11 passing for 164 yards with two touchdowns against the heat. On the season, Goff averages a league-best 11.6 yards per attempt under pressure, with NFL Next Gen Stats noting that no other quarterback averages more than 9 yards per attempt.
Winner: Jared Goff
Brian Flores was the author of two of the lowest moments in Goff’s career. The first came in Super Bowl LIII, when Goff led the Rams to just three points and left a number of plays on the field in a loss to the Patriots. Before that game, an anonymous Pats defender told NFL Media’s Mike Girardi that the game plan was to make Goff “bleep in his pants.” That’s a fitting description of what transpired in that game. The second moment may have been the beginning of the end for Goff in Los Angeles. The stakes were much lower, but the results were just as damaging. Against Flores’s Dolphins in 2020, Goff turned the ball over four times in the first half, throwing two picks and coughing up two fumbles. Flores repeatedly sent all-out blitzes at the young Rams quarterback, and he buckled under the pressure. Two months later, Sean McVay started John Wolford over Goff for the team’s wild-card game in Seattle. Goff was traded for Matthew Stafford in the offseason.
The trade has worked out for both parties. Stafford led L.A. to a Super Bowl, and Goff has revived his career in Detroit and earned a $212 million contract this year. It also appears that the Lions QB has defeated his old bogeyman in Flores after completing 22 of 25 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-29 win over Minnesota that pushed Detroit to the top of the NFC North standings. This wasn’t Goff’s first win over Flores. He beat the Vikings twice last season, and the Lions scored 30 points in each win. But this performance came with a significantly higher degree of difficulty. Minnesota pressured Goff on over 50 percent of his dropbacks, per Next Gen Stats. Years ago, that sort of environment would have made Goff “bleep in his pants.” On Sunday, he completed 10 of 11 passes and averaged nearly 15 yards per attempt when pressured.
Goff has been efficient under pressure all season. He’s still a bit of a statue, but he’s gotten better at sliding in the pocket to buy himself time in the face of pressure. Amon-Ra St. Brown’s 35-yard touchdown catch was a good illustration of Goff’s progress since coming to Detroit.
The Rams version of Goff isn’t making that play. Not against a Flores defense.Comment

More Goff-ness:
And the offense is just picking everyone up. Jared Goff is playing incredible football right now. The Lions offense has more touchdowns (18) than incompletions (16) in their last four games, the first team in NFLhistory to do so since the 1959-60 Cleveland Browns who did it over two years. The Lions are the only team to do it in the same season since at least 1940.
Goff's 85.3 percent completion rate is the highest over a four-game span in NFL history. His 153.1 passer rating over the last three games is the highest in NFL history since 1970. The Lions 120 points over the last three weeks are the most since 1997, when Barry Sanders went Full Barry over a three-game stretch while rushing for just shy of 500 yards.

Hopefully the ringer doesn't drop him from #14 in their quarterback ratingsComment

Randomly noticed this morning that Goff is like 15th or 16th in ESPN’s QBR stat (whatever that means). The disrespect …
It’s so fun to see what Goff is doing. He has a particular QB style (old school) and has ascended to level to make this offense lethal. Winning with accuracy, decision making, pre-snap reads, processing of information, etc. You don’t have to be a QB that can scramble for 50 yards to succeed in modern day football. Goff has proven that. Though he has displayed a handful of sneaky athletic moments this season. Perhaps mastered the elliptical in the offseason… who knows….AAL 2023 - Alim McNeillComment

Ruiz keeps doubling-down on Goff being a bad QB, incapable of doing anything with even a little pressure. I can tell his commentary is in response to getting a lot of feedback pointing out why he's a moron. He has Kyler Murray ranked ahead of Goff, lmao.
I would love for Ruiz to explain how the 14th best QB in the league has just put up one of the best 4-game stretches in NFL history and is 27-9 over his last 36 games.Comment

I wonder if QBR accounts for Goff’s receiving TD?Comment
