2 blocked FGs, that was the difference.

Rams D had the Eagles in the first half, not the 2nd.

Stafford was a bit off this game.

Then, 2 blocked FGs in one game.

I’m more concerned about Stafford than the loss. He didn’t look right even before the hit, and while limping a bit after that hit, he also grabbed his lower back with both hands. But a few of his passes were wildly off before that play.

That was a game the Rams let get away from them. They had it. And then they salvaged it after they blew the lead, but Karty got blocked. Again. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that happen back-to-back in my life.

I didn’t love the officiating in this game. There were 5 or 6 calls (or non-calls) that I thought they missed, but I hate talking about officiating.

Oh well. Bring on the Colts.

Game not televised locally, but it’s a lousy loss, regardless. Sounds like they need to work on red zone offense and field goal protection.

Silver lining is that Philly is arguably the best team in the NFL, and they were at home. Chances are the Rams beat them in LA.

And back to back 4th down stops.

Good lord, that was ridiculous. Death by a thousand give-aways.

Painful loss, that may cost them if they have to go back to Philly down the road.

Damn.

I will say this — If I’m Philly, i dont really wanna see the Rams again.

Two black field goals one of them returned for a touchdown. Ugh

If they stay relatively healthy, they proved they can play with anyone, but what a way to lose

Holding Barkley in check and still losing because of two ST gaffs?? This after a blocked extra point last week??Awful. Seems like the kinda thing a ST coach should be put on notice over.

EDIT: The defense had done a decent job on 3rd down until the Eagles last scoring drive. Not a good time to fall apart.

It’s a shame the blocked kicks happened because special teams actually played really good….

Knuckle ball lob kick-offs that Philly never really figured out.. but after 4 successful FGs that resulted in 12 points, the Eagles figured out how to block them.

Rams should’ve blown em out in the first half… if only the drives resulted in TD’s instead of FG’s.

Can’t wait for the playoff rematch, because the better team didn’t win today.

Rams are very good and will only get better.

A good Colts team in LA next week..

McVay will have them ready.

One of my reactions to the Eagles game is to think about the fact that the Falcons lost again.
30 to Zero. To Carolina. O my.
