tweets, plays, commentary on the Eagles game

If the Rams lose today, hard not to put it on the offense and some decisions there. Davante Adams should have scored a TD that last drive. Another red zone whiff and they’ve left a lot of points on the board there today.

No real explanation from Sean McVay in the blocked field goals. He just credited the Eagles for making the plays and said he won’t make excuses.

It sounded like he was going to start his answer about Kevin Dotson but changed up before he said the “No excuses” line.

The Rams scored 26 unanswered and then gave up 26 unanswered.

That should have been Matthew Stafford’s 50th career game-winning drive… but back-to-back blocked field goals.

Puka Nacua said his flex that led to a taunting penalty wasn’t any different from what he usually does after first-down catches. Nacua pointed to A.J. Brown’s “big celebration” on third down, saying, “feeling that play’s very similar but just didn’t feel like it went both ways.”

Blame McVay or whoever all you want but Stafford left a lot of plays on the field today. Davante Adams has to bring in the TD, too, and of course, Coleman Shelton literally wiped 7 off the board.

That was a disgusting 2nd half though either way.

Crazy how Rams-Eagles was basically two halves played the same way until the final kick.

1st half — Rams took the ball, turned it over, gave up a touchdown, then scored 19 straight

2nd half — Eagles took the ball, turned it over, gave up a touchdown, then scored 20 straight

To be SB winner a team has to
1. play 60 minutes of football
2. win in all three phases of game

Rams played one good half in 3 phases and one bad half in 3 phases.

However, Eagles are the champs. Rams have time to play full game vs good teams in next few weeks.

Sean McVay is now 1-6 against the Eagles and 89-52 against everyone else.

That Cowherd vid is pretty good at summing up what happened.

One lesson: don’t give McVay the 2nd round pick. He will take a skill player they don’t need. Atwell, Ferguson. They needed a corner or a center, these guys are right.

Another squib by Karty causes a bobble on the return and pins the Eagles inside the 15. They have now started every single drive off a Rams score at or inside the 20.

ME: if you don’t know about the Rams new (and very successful) kickoff strategy, I describe it here: https://theramshuddle.com/topic/rams-kickoffs/

This was just the Rams’ second loss after leading by at least 19 points since 1984. One of the worst losses of the Sean McVay era.

today, stafford on 3rd down:
1 of 7 for 8 yards, 1 sack, 1st down

…

from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/rams/2025/09/22/rams-pff-grades-beaux-limmer-justin-dedich/86292476007/?taid=68d16f0ee04ccb000171641d&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

Part of the reason for the Rams’ struggles was the pass protection, which was lacking throughout the contest. In fact, Pro Football Focus even gave Rams offensive linemen Justin Dedich (35 pass-blocking snaps) and Beaux Limmer (five pass-blocking snaps) their worst possible grade, a 0.0.
