Due to the poor air quality caused by fires in Ventura County, the Rams will not practice on Wednesday. They will only hold a walk-thru. Rest of the week still TBD.

Rams will gauge the air quality at the facility on Wednesday to decide whether they need to practice elsewhere on Thursday. And they pretty much have a place in mind if that’s the case. A Wednesday walk-through, which will take place near their facility, isn’t a big deal for them. That’s what Wednesdays have basically become for them anyway, with several veterans taking rest days midweek. They’re in pads on Thursdays. That’s the big one for them.

I’m hoping the pollution, smog, and carcinogenic air in LA become
kinda like the “12th Man” for the Rams. Home field advantage. Ya know.

This is feeling more and more like a road game as they have to adjust their practice and will be facing a loud hostile stadium of Eagles fans. I don’t like it. I don’t like it at all.

Exactly PA. I wish this game was in Philly.

In fact, i wish the rams would just move to Philly and change their colors to green and white.

If this game goes south quick we will just have to pretend that the Rams are really the Eagles and that will put us in a happy place. If I have to pretend my way to victory then by God I will do it. I will NOT ruin my weekend.

I think I saw that the Eagles were staying in SoCal this week so they wouldn’t have to make trips to the west coast on consecutive weeks. If so, does anyone know if they are dealing with the same issue.

I heard they were practicing at Anaheim stadium so I don’t think it’s an issue there.

I’m worried that God might be against us this week. That could make it tough to win

Remember in 89 when the Rams flew across the country on consecutive weeks to play the Eagles and the Giants in the playoff?

And they whupped them both.

Pansy-ass Eagles…afwaid of a wittle jet-lag are we?

Of course, the irony of a team called the Eagles not wanting to fly isn’t lost on me either.

All clear

The Rams were able to hold a full practice Thursday. Concerns over air quality because of fires in the region led the Rams to cancel their Wednesday practice and hold only an indoor walk-thru session.

Coach Sean McVay expressed his support and sympathy for Southern California residents who have been impacted by the fires this week, and praised his players for their ability to adjust.

“They’ve handled it really well,” McVay said. “These are serious things that are going on right now. I’ve been very impressed with the maturity they’ve demonstrated the last couple days.”
