wvParticipantwvParticipantBomani on the game (fwiw, he is a long-time Detroit fan, and is not a Stafford fan)
wvParticipantThe Eagles of the 2020s were strong when their OL was elite. For a long time it was. It’s not that caliber nowadays, though.
Yeah, it was an awesome Oline. Even A.D. had problems with it. That super bowl team with Saquon behind that Oline was reminiscent of those beastly Dallas teams of yore.
The NFC East is kinda hilarious this year. Each team is a bit of a mess.
w
vwvParticipantCowherd: blah blah “yeah they had some injuries” blah blah.
Some injuries?
They didnt have their best player – Saquon. They didnt have their top WR. They didnt have their best Olineman, Lane Johnson. They didnt have Fred Johnson, OT. Landon Dickerson the Guard was on injured reserve. And thats just the offense.
The NFL-media always does this. For whatever reason they always minimize injuries as a causal factor in losses.
Talking-head-players do it too, only they usually say things like “next man up!” “No excuses!” etc, blah blah.
In my view the Eagles actually played one helluva game, to even be in it. At all.
But thats not the narrative. The narrative is “what could possibly be the problem? Sirriani? Mannion? The QB? Fire the coach! Fire the OC!
w
vwvParticipantI haven’t spared a thought for Philly fans until now. A gut-wrenchng loss for them. Philly had that game the whole time and just gagged it up like a furball. It hurtz.
Good.
Lotta philly fans are blaming Sirianni for going for it on fourth and goal from the 2. They were up 10. Seems to me it was the right decision. Even if it failed the rams were 98 yards away and down by ten. The Rams offense hadnt done shit. There was no reason think LA was going go on two drives and score 14 points.
People think of McVay as a genius. Sirianni is 67-31 overall, with a Super Bowl win and a close Super Bowl loss to Belichex. And he’s beaten McVay, like four out of five times or something like that.
And yet Sirianni is perceived as a bit of an idiot. Its one of the weirdest perceptions in all of football.
And, btw, I think Sirianni is an idiot. I cant explain it.
w
vwvParticipantAstonishingly, and fwiw, Draftkings has the Rams as the Superbowl favorites. Followed by the Bills.
49ers, Seahawks, Chiefs, Ravens are all tied in the next tier.
w
vwvParticipant“the rams were giving them the game”
wvParticipantRodrigue: “shula blitzed on every third down” “rams blitzed on 16 of 27 drop-backs”
w
vwvParticipantRodrigue: “at one point there were ten starters out for the Eagles” in that game.

wvParticipantYou know, I’ve been a pretty harsh critic of Kyren over the years, but man-o-man, that last TD run was just historic. That one goes in the Rams running-back hall-of-fame. Up there with some of those old-school Steven Jackson barbaric-mauling-rabid-beastly runs. It wasnt exactly like a Jackson run, in that he didnt just bulldoze people, it was more like he sliced through cracks and bounced off people. Or somethin.
I’ve watched Kyren’s run from different angles and that one was special. There is no way he should have scored or even come close to scoring.
He earned somethin on that one.
Baldinger is gonna have a field day with that one.
w
vwvParticipantSome interesting points in this bit (from eagles perspective).
Did they really run the ball 13 straight times?
w
vwvParticipantPhilly Phanz… fuck em..
Philly phans are apoplectic, foaming, and downright put-out. It is good. You know Philly had won Nine out of the last eleven.
wvParticipantBtw, i hope Kamren Curl got himself a game-ball, because with 3 minutes left he made the play of the game. That pass break-up on third and four where he knocked the ball out of Zack Ertz’ hands was a clutch and brilliant play.
w
vwvParticipantMattydubs
wvParticipantpress conf.
wvParticipantI listen to this game on Rams’ radio today…
JB Long, Maurice Jones Drew, and DeMarco Farr made this a very memorable game…
They ripped special teams…,.
I suppose the special teams play was better than last year. I guess.
wvParticipantI would think that several people told Puka to get his shit together and grow up, or he was going to lose $100 million. Sounded to me like a guy who took that to heart, and grew three sizes that day.
Well, it just seems so…real. Seems like an actual change. As opposed to
the usual bullshit-PR-fake-change we see on a weekly basis all over this fine beacon of freedom and justice.—
Jourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigue
Rams defense [was] bringing all kinds of cool heat on third downs
—As for Rodrigue’s comment, i hope someone posts the blitz rate in this game. It seemed to me Chris Shula blitzed more in this game than he ever has in any game as a rams coach. I for one was glad to see it.
It will be interesting to see how they play Josh Allen.
w
vwvParticipantYeah, if you showed me the final box score (from the future) before kickoff, I woulda thought that the Rams just rolled them. It was all the mistakes. Lots and lots of mistakes. Penalties. Drops. Bad throws. But excellent defense, and when the rain stopped, Stafford did his thing.
According to the Prime Directive I’m forbidden from showing you boxscores from the future. God knows what you would do with them.
Stafford, as we in the future know, is a gunslinger, and will always be bold and take chances and there’s gonna be some INTs. And we know he has a history of streaky-ness.
But all i can say is, for whatever reason, he is not in one of his hot-streak-zones. He’s just not looking like he’s ‘in the zone’ at all. I’m not ‘worried’ about him, but I am hoping it comes together sooner for him, rather than later.The offense in general just doesn’t seem smooth. Not against Shannahan. Not against Payton. And not against Syriani. I dont think this is McVay’s best coaching year. So far.
w
vwvParticipantPuka certainly seems different this year. Less bubbly-goofy-effervescent. I dunno if thats a good thing or not. He sounds more like Davante than Puka.
w
vwvParticipantI can lip read. McVay says: “They’re Celebrating over there!”
w
vwvParticipantSo we are down to two undefeated teams, i think. 49ers and Chiefs. Neither of them seems all that dominant to me, at least in the long-term. I think Purdy will cool off a bit, and i assume the 49ers will continue to lose players. And I dont think Kenneth Walker can continue to tear up the league the way he has so far.
I think things could still break the Rams way, IF Myles Garrett comes back and plays like Myles Garrett.
Though, I think a more ‘likely’ scenario is that this is just a Martz-year of miscues, sloppiness, and self-inflicted wounds.
This team could end up being quite frustrating.
w
vwvParticipantOn the macro-level that was a huge win against a team the Rams might very well need a head-to-head edge against. If the Eagles win their division and the Rams end up a wild card, it wont matter, BUT, as of right now — guess who is leading the NFC East.
Giants 3-1
Eagles 2-2
Dallas 2-2w
vwvParticipantEagles outscored 31 to zero in second half over last two games.
wvParticipantwvParticipantCeeDee Lamb had 17 receptions today against the Houston Texan defense. 189 yards.
Texans 0-4.
Kenneth Walker had 177 yards on 22 carries for the Chiefs. Walker is now on pace for a gazillion yards.
w
vwvParticipantThe stats make it seem like the Rams dominated.
Total yards: Rams 415, Eagles 172
3rd down conv: Rams 7/16, Eagles 0/12
Passing yards: Rams 309, Eagles 68.
1st downs: Rams 26, Eagles 12.
Sacks allowed: Rams 1, Eagles 4.And on, and on.
And yet…there was what we actually watched. On the field.
I dunno. Hertz looked worse than Jameis Winston, if thats possible.
Maybe it was just two really bad teams out there.
w
vwvParticipantWhat the Fuk was that??
They played better in all their losses to the Eagles this decade.
What the fuk was that?!
I am supposed to know what this team is after four games. What are they?
w
vwvParticipantDaniel Jones with one of the most ridiculous fumbles of the decade. Geez. Some really bad QB play so far this year.
wvParticipant“The Eagles will be without star right tackle Lane Johnson on Sunday against the Rams.”
Wow. That is huge.
Does it seem like there are more injuries than ever this year, or is that just my dystopian-imagination?
