222 wins 96 losses to just about finish his HOF(Dodgers) MLB career.
Sad to say I’m an Angels Fan.

450 game starts & only 25 career complete games.Which is a rarity now a days.

3,045 strikeouts
712 walks

I say that to glance at Stafford’s career.I’m not a big numbers guy.From Texas Ram though,I’d just add D.Adams & the supporting cast is pretty good & deep.Mcvay knows his importance & try’s to protect him.Sometimes I wonder,but it’s The NFL as well.

I just loved him in the Houston game when he’s out there doing the Airplane(SWRam).Giving Mcvay love is special.You have to Love that as a Rams Fan with The Spirit of this TEAM!!

Last season was last season & this is a statement game.Some say they wish it was being at SOFI.I say let The Rams show us what there made of !

Go Rams - wishing The Best for Stafford.A story book ending would be Clayton getting a win The World Serries at Chavez Ravine & Stafford winning yet another Superbowl at Levi Stadium!! They both Finish there HOF childhood dreams as Champions in LA!!
 
The Eagles are a talented team but they can be beat. It's going to take a clean effort. No turnovers. No long runs by Saquon. No great escapes from the pocket by Hurts. And most important few 3rd or 4th and 1's. Play solid, get a lead and press them into costly mistakes.

Eagles vs Rams: Battle on the Lines

The Eagles defensive line might be the most important unit in this game on Sunday vs. the Rams.

When Matthew Stafford has time he can pick apart even the best of defenses. The key will be to move him off his spot and that starts with the defensive line winning a matchup that is there to be won. The Rams interior offensive line is not great and could be short handed with Steve Avila dealing with a sprained ankle. If he can’t play the Rams will turn to Justin Dedich, who struggled last week when he was forced in. The Rams tackles are decent, with LT Alaric Jackson probably the best player on the line overall. Rob Haverstein has been a solid, dependable RT in his career but has not been good the first two games of this season.

Overall the Rams have allowed the 13th most pressures in the league through two weeks and have the 30th ranked pass blocking offensive line per PFF. This is a matchup the Eagles defensive line should be able to win.

On the other side the Eagles offensive line faces a major test in the Rams pass-rushing defensive line.

Verse, Turner, Fiske and Young are one of the best pass rushing units in the NFL. As is the case most weeks, the Eagles offensive line still has the edge, but this week it is by the slimmest of margins. There are not many teams that can bring in a DLine deep enough to give the Eagles OLine problems but the Rams might be one of them.

The Eagles really need their own DLine to dominate this matchup. It could be a long day if not.
 


I'm old ... I am easily confused ... What am I missing this time?

The chart says the Rams' OL has not allowed a sack and the DL has 3 sacks.
Stafford has been sacked 4 times; and the Rams have 8 sacks.

The chart says the Eagles' OL has allowed 1 sack, and the DL has zero sacks.
Hurts has been sacked 3 times; and the Eagles have 2 sacks.

It's tough getting gold ... surrounded by so many smart people (like Eliot Shorr-Parks and PFF).

No, you’re right. If Elliot with one ‘t’ and one invalid post wants to be taken serious, he needs to get his stats straight.

Agreed. A good start would be to invest 45 seconds to check team/player stats available on a dozen sites.
But, I am sure that Mr. Shorr-Parks is a very busy man.
 
I guess they will find out tomorrow how wrong they are when he goes for over 100 yards again and he runs over a few CBs
 
I think the only way to stop them from getting a yard with it is to ban it...but I don't wanna see that. They figured it out let's let our DCs and HCs earn them paychecks and figure it out. Someone out there is smarter than the rest of us.

I agree with @FaulkSF you got a make that fucker not wanna do it. Take the penalty, I don't care. I would gladly take 15 yards to make him hesitate the next time. I don't see any other way, the way they allow them to lineup like it's a damn field goal is crazy, but within the rules. So....hit them hard as fuck ..that's all I got haha
Nah they need to ban that bullshit rugby play. Big ass o-line going at the knees of defenders shouldn't be allowed. Fuck Philly and fuck that play.
 
That’s exactly my approach towards @Loyal.

what ever happened to the "neutral zone"

on this play both teams are lined up with helmets over the football..especially the center
Exactly. It’s lazy officiating to allow them to line up like they are. Throw the flag a couple times and you’ll be able to see the play.
I think you have to hit Hurts with 4 or 5 hats and make him feel it so he isn't too keen on having to keep running it. That's the only way you will stop it.
It would be pretty hard to get to him as he’s generally behind or under a mass of humanity.
If it’s a tush push at or near the goal line teams should be intentionally jumping the snap, make em run the play several times and deliver punishment each time. Worse case its half the distance to the goal
This really needs to be done by several teams if the officials refuse to do their job. The league’s teams need to make a point.
 
I’m calling it. Atwell gets loose for a big play in this game. This is about the week where a good defense like Philly throws the entire gameplan at Nacua/Adams and the little guy gets deep for a strike.
