What I gathered from watching McVay’s decision to rest our starters vs Seattle was that, in the long run, he thinks we have a better chance of beating Minnesota and Detroit than we do Washington and Philly. He’s probably tight. We’ve proven that we can beat Minnesota and have come close to beating Detroit at their place the last two times we’ve faced them. Going into a frigid Philly, a team that humiliated us weeks ago, and winning is a tall task. Best let another team try to knock them off.
That said, after watching the Vikings-Lions game last night, if we bring heat to Darnold and disguise our blitzes well, we can beat them. He seemed to only have eyes for Jefferson last night and withered under pressure. A Ram victory also depends on Stafford being Buffalo Matthew and not SF Matthew who got lucky after several defenders dropped sure interceptions. Some games I’ve seen the soul-stealer in his eyes and other games he looks unsure and less confident. Let’s hope the offense rallies and the defense continues to make the plays they need to in order to keep this team moving forward.
