Beating Seattle by 7 points + is a must. If we lose to the Seahawks they control their own destiny, ... beating the Eagles and losing to the seachickens can still leave us out of the play-offs. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Eagles game go down much like the Vikings game in that we don't show all our cards while preparing to see them a second time, but in post-season. jmo.

Winning the division is the goal, so the sea chickens need to lose.

I used to think Mary Ann was hotter, but now that I'm watching the re-runs with my kids, I'm kind of digging on Ginger.
Do you know what's better than one or the other?
Both.
Here's a question.
Why, if it was only supposed to be a 3 hour tour, do the Howells take 46 changes of clothes and all their money?

Personally, I don't think Philly is all that. I mean they get built up by the East Coast media but their strength of schedule so far is below .400 (.397). Their overall schedule w/ us and the Squawks on it is only .426. I would like to see what they have against Seattle. And then they can come play us........(BTW...Seattle so far has the exact pct. of Philly..so far...their schedule gets much tougher from here out though.)

Might be better asked to our Prez.

I want to beat the Eagles! I feel like we are better than Seattle and their injuries make it tough for them to compete for a SB.

If we beat the Eagles then we legitimately have a shot to get to the SB imo.

An Eagles win helps us more than a Seahawks win does.

Well I always root for what helps my team the most. I also always root for the team the rams play next to win because I feel a loss always refocuses a most teams. So go eagles.

To put it plainly....

Root against Seattle and for the Rams at all times.

Division champ are guaranteed a home playoff game.

I’m in the minority on this one, but I hope the iggles lose to the Seahawks.

If that happens, Rams control their own destiny to earn a first-round bye.

If Seahawks lose, we have an extra cushion for winning the Division and locking up the #3 seed. But if Iggles lose, we have a greater chance for a #1 or #2 seed and a serious run at the Lombardi.

I looked up some numbers based on seeding, and:

#1or #2 seed has won the SB 28 times.
#3 or #4 seed has won the SB 6 times.
#5 or #6 seed has won the SB 3 times.

My point is, I’d rather go “all-in” and hope we can steal the #1 or #2 seed from the Iggles, as opposed to hoping we can clinch the #3 seed from the Hawks.

Lastly— even if Hawks beat the Eagles, the Rams still control their own fate in the division.

If I had my way, the Eagles would beat the Seahawks in a slobberknocker and just be wiped out.

It's awfully difficult to win the 2nd game of a 2+ game road trip. I think the winning percentage is something like 18%.

With us improving and with the Eagles on the 2nd game of a road trip, I think we'll be doing better and have a better chance to win than if we played them rested at home.

And I don't feel bad because playing around injuries and winning on the road is important for teams that need to win.

I like our chance a heckuva lot more after that Saints game, not gonna lie.

Also, I don't see how the Eagles lose to the Seahawks.

Philly is so ripe for an upset that I fear Seattle will punch them in the face.... not that I would not like to see that, but not against Seattle for obvious reasons.

So it will be interesting because Philly is really smelling themselves right now... fans for sure and that has to blead over to the team. Everyone is acting like this is the 85' Bears. Local talking heads tweeting out all kinds of records and stats that they have compiled over their last 4 games against CJ Beathered, Brock Osweiler, Zekeless Dak, and the Bears Tribisky.

It will be interesting these next two games, but they are due for a rough game.

Eagles already have a fast track to the home field advantage. Hawks need to lose so we don't have to win in Seattle against them and their caffeine snorting fans.
