Quentin Lake has been dominant in zone coverage out of the nickel this year.

He is going to get a massive payday this off-season. pic.twitter.com/m2dTad44j4

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.

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/

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.

J.B. Long@JB_Long
With his 2nd TD today, Matthew Stafford has passed Matt Ryan for 9th-most in NFL history (382).

1. This was a battle of two of the NFC’s three best. Classic fight with momentum swings. Two teams with different strengths but similar builds, spending all on offense to be creative on defense.

2. Crazy game of runs — 26-0 for both. Just a classic game where the championship mettle and home crowd let the Eagles finish but the Rams’ talent shined a lot.

3. Most impressive? Holding Saquon Barkley to 2.6 yards a carry. Poona Ford and Nate Landman making a real difference.

4. We’ll see how sustainable the run ‘D’ is with Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry up next. Eagles run game hasn’t taken off overall yet.

5. Jared Verse, Byron Young and Josiah Stewart will give burly OTs hell all season. Rams pass rush up there with any.

6. The CB issues are real. Just some physical limitations to Darious Williams (speed) and Emmanuel Forbes Jr. (size). I think the Rams need a trade or to sign Stephon Gilmore because the tests will keep coming.

7. Josh Karty should have been the hero. Amazing game from him.

8. Matthew Stafford was off. Just a reminder of life with a 37-year-old pocket passer. And why the Rams need a complete puzzle.

9. Steve Avila coming back solves a lot. The Rams haven’t had a game yet with both guards and about 1/3 of the games without either.

10. Gotta feel great about the run game in spite of the guard injuries. Kyren Williams and Blake Corum are a fun tandem that can wear teams down and marry play-action concepts in a beautiful way. But they gotta be crisp in the red zone/short-yardage without the QB run threat.

It appears there was a missed false start on an Eagles tush push.

Soon after, they scored a touchdown… On a tush push!

.@RamsNFL @Eagles Jordan Davis is the STAR of the show. Blocking the FG; and recovering it for a 61 yd return for TD…clocking in at 18.59 mph….the fastest ever for a man over 330 lbs. #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/wJtwR7lPoI

You can blame the coach, but this is not some 'call' or scheme., THis is their big guys pushing around Rams' big guys. Davis powers into gap and being 6'7" does his thing. Now way he should be that deep . … have not anaylzed first one … but this is them winning in trenches pic.twitter.com/dZF08FxhzT

There is zero chance of avoiding the dystopia they have carefully prepared for, and I don’t know what they’re waiting for at this point. AI to develop a bit more? Some civil disturbances? Maybe they’re fine hiding behind the facade of democracy until that ultimately gives way. I dunno. But the future is bleak.

The future is bleak but the resistance is coming from some blue state governors. Apparently the national democratic party establishment doesn’t control those guys.
