So 2011 didn't happen? Wasn't that the year where they had a lead RB with 450 yards?

Stafford wasn't the problem back then. After Calvin left, they ain't really build shyt around him.

They plugged Stafford in the first year with the rams and what happened?

Are we gonna act like if Stafford had a cast like Goff recently has, he wouldn't do better?

2011?

THEY TRADED STAFFORD IN 2021
THAT'S WHEN YOU SAID
THEIR WINDOW CLOSED.

MCVAY MADE A SUPER BOWL
WITH GOFF ALSO.
OF COURSE HE COULD WIN
ONE WITH A BETTER QB
WHICH IS WHY HE MADE THE TRADE.

You said was it ever open with Stafford and yes it was. Even gave a year when he turned the franchise around and took them to the playoffs in like 13 years while having the equivalent of 3rd strings.

Would Stafford be able to do more with the same crew that Goff has? The answer is yes as he did it already

:mjtf: he got them to the playoffs with trash.

It wasn't like Goff go there and the window opened. It was they stopped switching coaches each year and got talent. If you can't agree to that then the window hadn't been open for over 2 decades.

None of this recent success can be attributed to Goff

NO ONE CREDITED GOFF
FOR ANYTHING.

YOU CAME IN HERE MAKING
THIS A GOFF VS STAFFORD THING.

THE FACTS ARE THE WINDOW
WASNT EVEN SLIGHTLY OPEN
DURING STAFFORDS TENURE
AND THE WINDOW WAS WIDE OPEN
UNDER THIS CURRENT REGIME
ONLY FOR TOUGH GUY COACHING
TO BLOW IT
:devil:

They were 10-6 in 2011 :mjlol:

They lost the wildcard game 45-28. Next season they were 4-12. That is not a Super Bowl window.

Fair on the first point but 2nd is wrong and I gave you an example of when. You not liking the result of that year doesn't prove it wasn't open.

Also, based on your criteria, it would show the window is now closed, since they ain't winning or even playing in the postseason now, correct?

Their core is still pretty young and it feels like they should have several years left as contenders. But in the NFL you just never know how these things can end up turning. They need to be aggresive this offseason and make some moves. Not even anything major either. Just to shore up a few spots and to increase their depth at some positions. If they can have a relatively healthy year too that would help a lot as well.
