00:00 Jared Goff struggled mightily on Sunday against the Ravens.
00:03 Sat five times, just not good at all from the veteran,
00:06 Signal Caller.
00:07 John, what do you make of the performance from Goff
00:09 in week six against the Ravens?
00:12 Yeah, Vito.
00:13 I think we all know now that if the Lions are
00:16 going to go far in the postseason,
00:17 you're going to want to play a plethora of those playoff
00:20 games at Ford Field.
00:21 You saw a little bit of what has ailed Jared Goff
00:25 in his previous outings on the road in the Elements.
00:28 You saw passes that just were not crisp at all.
00:31 Could not hit Jamison Williams at all.
00:33 You see a stat line for the young first round draft pick,
00:37 and you recognize targeted six times, unfortunately,
00:40 not able to secure any receptions against Baltimore.
00:43 That can't happen.
00:44 Jared Goff struggled mightily.
00:46 Now, it's not all his fault, but he
00:48 does own a lion's share of the blame for his performance.
00:51 I just think that the offense did not
00:53 get into any sort of rhythm.
00:55 I thought that his passes were, I think,
00:58 a stray, a large reason due to the weather,
01:01 very windy and gusty.
01:03 The Lions did not have much of a run game.
01:05 And unfortunately, they get down 28-0
01:08 because they didn't get into rhythm
01:09 and they had so many three and outs.
01:11 So Jared Goff did not have one of his better performances,
01:14 and they tend to occur outdoors in the Elements.
01:17 So that just lends to those that are concerned regarding
01:20 if the Lions should go out on the road to San Francisco
01:23 playing in the Elements.
01:24 You're not going to want that.
01:26 Hopefully, the Lions will rebound,
01:28 and I think they will, because if down the stretch,
01:30 they're able to secure a lot of victories,
01:32 then any game that's played in the playoffs at Ford Field
01:35 gives the Lions a distinct advantage.
01:37 You can see the splits.
01:39 Jared Goff plays significantly better
01:41 within the confines and the comforts of Ford Field.
01:44 He did not have one of his better performances,
01:46 and unfortunately, it proved costly in a blowout loss.
01:50 But no doubt about it, Vito.
01:52 You know the veterans going to rebound,
01:54 and everybody's going to really take that one on the chin
01:57 and view it as a wake-up call.
01:59 And I think that the next performance against the Raiders
02:01 is going to look vastly different for Jared Goff,
02:04 no doubt about it.
02:06 - John, thanks for all the time.
