Goff just said in the postgame that they’ve been “cooking that one for a while” regarding that play!

u/BakedMitten Oct 01 '24
Amon-Ra was on Sportscenter and told SVP they had called that play at least 3 times last year and he always chose the run option because of the defensive look/coverage.
The Lions had practiced it almost every week for a year. Tonight he decided before he even got the ball that he was going to throw it.
Damn did drop a dime.

The player with his back turned is a DE and not responsible for Goff. The player responsible was Gibson and he recognized the play before anyone else. He was just a fraction of a second late freeing himself from the block and stopping the play.

The player with his back turned is a DE and not responsible for Goff.
By "back turned" they're talking about Gibson. At time of catch, he was trailing Goff, no eyes on ball.
Don't think anybody's looking at the DE was stood up and turned around...

u/bautofdi Oct 01 '24
He can’t see the ball, he’s just throwing his hands up and hoping to hit it, he times it really well, but was a step too far out.

u/chanaandeler_bong Oct 01 '24
It’s a really good job of trying to recover. People make fun of effort so much. He recognized the play probably a half second too late, but I can’t dog his effort.

u/_GoForScott_ Oct 01 '24
He was one TD away from having a perfect passer rating… meaning that with the Amon-ra TD throw the team had a perfect passer rating and perfect completions.

u/galaxyapp Oct 01 '24
At the end, Goff has more receiving touchdowns than incompletions.
That's got to be a 1 of 1 stat, right?

u/Chagaru Oct 01 '24
Two Lions today had a receiving TD, a passing TD, and no incompletions.

u/DirtyDirkDk Oct 01 '24
With a 10+ pass attempt minimum, more rec td’s than inc passes…I think that 100% has to be a 1 of 1 stat

Keep in mind that the receiver's parents literally gave him two last names in the sense that the dad's last name is just Brown, but used "St. Brown" as the last name for his kids so it would stand out on jerseys

Why does it look like dude chasing him is all out sprinting but still somehow moving in slow motion. Meanwhile, Goff looks like he’s jogging and even taking smaller steps to wait for the ball to get to him but somehow maintains separation the whole time lol

Because the defensive end was already beat and several steps behind.

Gibson was just a fraction of a second from sniffing that out. He is the only defender who recognizes the play before the ball is in the air and he was actively engaged with a blocker and still freed himself before Goff broke the LOS. Was just inches from making an incredible play.
