I respect Hurts' game. He has a knack for making the throws when he needs them. But I also think he's been rather mediocre with Saquon centering that attack. So I agree with you on this. Eagles have weapons in the pass game and Stafford would light it up with that group.

Feels like 80% of the Eagles threat on offense comes from the backfield. So I suspect we're about to see 8 man boxes and Shula aggressively run/pass blitzing the fuck out of them. Can the defensive backfield hold up? Probably not, but dying that way is undoubtedly better than dying slowly with them inching down the field. Especially early on. Get those fuckers off the field and then sustain drives on our end.

If we can build a lead then maybe be more conservative. But the problem there is Saquon can kill you with just a seam. So I do believe I would make Hurts beat us, and hope our offense puts up enough points to get the dub.

I fear Hurts' legs, especially on a sloppy field. They really need to slow the pass rush to a mush rush. Maybe have one guy stunt to threaten him for a sack, but they have to contain him in the pocket. I could see a few back breaking scrambles on 3rd and long.

This is the kind of game where McVay can really stamp his HOF resume. In a season where it looked like we were going nowhere, to recover and win two playoff games, including this one as a big underdog on the road in Philly, this will really set him apart. I already saw Ryan Clark stating on ESPN that if the Rams win this game we will be talking about McVay and the Rams coaching staff after it's all over.

Reminds me of Jackie Skater really getting props on the national stage and stamping his HOF resume when he shut out Reggie White in the 89' divisional playoff game in Philly.

So, in the immortal words of Jeff Fisher...

Now, go win the game!!

One thing I'm concerned with is the refs. Conspiracy theorists think the NFL will help an LA team get to the Superbowl. Last week it sure seemed like the refs were favoring the Vikings. Made me wonder if the refs were determined to show everyone they aren't giving one team sympathetic calls and went too far the other way. I hope that won't be the case tomorrow.

Commodes playing calm, cool and collected. Lions look like they are feeling the pressure being #1 seed. I’d love to see Coach Caveman at halftime. Any chance he pulls some ‘We Not Me’ out of his team’s asses? Oh….nice half Joseph…you dirtbag!

In the snow, Barkley could be a handful.

Our young defense will be up for this one!

Go Rams!

Hoping the snow prevents his sharp cuts and has him slipping and falling more often. That said, he's as talented as they come at RB so I'm not counting on any kind of snow advantage in stopping him.

Their defense is so undisciplined. They are really playing right into Washington's hands.

Down 10, why ask your WR to throw a pass when you have that offense?

 

[PhillyRam]

This was like watching the old Mike Martz Rams. Careless with the football, gamble too often, and just not taking advantage of what was working.

Just like the lions fans were celebrating the super bowl. WAS @ LAR for NFCC would be a humble experience for them.
