I dunno how they come back after a game like that Eagle game. I mean that was just an outright Alice’s Restaurant Massacre. A physical humiliation. A beat-down.
I got the impression that as the Eagles game wore on and the D was getting challenged physically, they began to “press”–get undisciplined trying to make plays. If you listen to the analysis from Rodrigue and others, they made mistakes and abandoned their gap discipline, which of course made things worse. Or, I guess, even worse. It was a regression because since the bye they had been tighter when it comes to that.
We’ll see how much they learned from that and if learning from it can improve them this year. But you can learn from that. IMO? No one who is competitive enough to play in the NFL just “quits” because of a loss.
Heck the 2021 Rams suffered an embarassing 31-10 loss against the 9ers in week 10, allowing 156 yards rushing while getting just 52 on their side, and throwing 2 INTs including a pick 6. That Rams team as you know won the super bowl. So they came back from that game. I doubt the super bowl is on the horizon this year but they can learn from a bad loss and come back better.
