Looks like Goff was practicing in a glove still, but "nearly back to normal."
Goff - So, near 100%.
Donald - He's a terminator, so probably closer to 100% than you think.
Kupp - Gotta be under 25% on what I'm seeing.
Goff can make the throws, despite what I see a lot of Ram fans talking about on their forums. It was actually surprising to see how many on there don't think he can, maybe I haven't been watching Goff closely enough this year. Looking at the stat line, he don't look flashy, but consistent, with a 67% completion. 20-13, touchdown to interception ratio. Seems like the "perfect" QB to compliment a stout D, as long as he keeps down on turning the ball over. With that being said, what's he going to be without Kupp in the line up?
Talking Donald. Seriously, how to eliminate this guy from the game? Is it even possible? I think LaFleur needs to give this defense a heavy dose of Jones and Williams, to back Donald's pass rush off. If we can do that, it not only will set us up for the play-action, but give Rodgers even a second longer before he needs to get rid of the ball. Also, don't be afraid of keeping a back to help block, Williams in particular.

Did you watch their game last week? No way he's all healed up from a week ago. It impacted him huge last week and they can talk all they want, I believe it is going to impact him today, too.

Wow. Both Jackson and Hollman are healthy scratches today.
They are all about STs and stopping the run.

Yeah, in last week's game, he was missing long, short, all over on even intermediate passes without pressure. Seattle had plenty of chances for picks. Regular season's 20TDs to 13INTs isn't exactly greatness. If we somehow get a big enough lead to force him to throw, I like our chances a bunch.

Yeah. Also wonder if that basically means the coaching staff is saying a good no to both guys as our "future" next year.

He didn't look too good last week and was surprised to see it was being said he's "near normal". Seemed like an awfully quick turnaround for a guy who wasn't even supposed to be playing last week. IF he's actually healed, I think he's more than capable of getting it done. But, now with no Kupp - that's huge.

Special teams hasn't been talked about much this week, but this is an area that we desperately need to get better at. We don't even need to be top of the league in returns and coverage, but at least respectable. It's been a very underwhelming unit this year, for many years to be honest.

Jackson and Hollman inactive?
Isn’t McVay known for basically never running 2 RBs or 2 TEs, or always 3 WRs?
Lot of base D shut down run totally, tight man, make Goff beat you, like it.

Little surprising to see both CB's inactive. Might leave us a little thin at CB if something were to happen, despite another being brought up. But it definitely looks like they're game planning against Akers, dude had a monster game last weekend. Shut down the run and see what Goff can do.

Yeah well Mcvay said that Kupp was day to day and he wasn't worried about him earlier this week too.
We'll see how he looks once he's on the field.

Just read Goff is wearing two gloves in pregame warm-ups.
I am so ridiculously confident about this game.
