Game Thread: NFC Divisional: Los Angeles Rams @ Philadelphia Eagles

[Battlelyon]

Man some terrible missed opportunities by the Eagles in this first half, and some lucky bounces, because that could have been a catastrophe.

Lucky bounces indeed

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Poor play call. Either a quick inseam or a run. Even if either fail, the Eagles would have either a shot at a looong field goal or at least an easier hail Mary.

13-10 Eagles lead it at halftime, very entertaining game!

 

[Albuquerque Rams]

Rams defense doing a lot of bending but not breaking too much.

 

[Black Adam]

Good game so far...

 

[fastforward]

The Eagles should have called time-out with about 10 seconds left. That would have let them go for a Hail Mary on 4th down.

 

[Battlelyon]

Verse with another sack. Rams have to feel good going into the half.

Rams hanging around … Been cool seeing some good defense, love this type of football !

#77 on the eagles isn’t having a good day

Mekhi Becton, he is the reclamation project we got from the Jets as a free agent, a tackle we turned into a guard. Good run blocker but bad pass blocker.

I dislike the playcalling down the stretch there in that first half. It's like they were afraid to run a screen or something and try a field goal with the shaky kicker.

 

[Battlelyon]

Hopefully Fiske can come back in the second half

I gotta say, although the Eagles are ahead by only 3 at the half, it seems the Rams will have the momentum when they take the field and get the ball 1st. Their defense kept Philly from putting up more points before the break.

Rams with the ball to open the 2nd half..

Interesting game, the Eagles right now are 100% reliant on their running game. I know they want to make Hurts the hero, but I wouldn't be dropping that dork back at all to pass, right now... just keep handing it off. If Philly comes out passing the second half (they may have to, Rams get the ball and can take the lead - Stafford is still passing well) they lose this game IMO.

Agreed. Rams get the ball, and Stafford seems to be more equipped to pass in the conditions. Rams only being down 3 at half when they're getting the ball back is a victory IMO. And Philly fans are pussies anyway... the homefield advantage is lost right now because it's too cold.

Dayyaaam, shark dawg. Why they gotta be "pussies"...?

True.

*We shall see.

But I expected more from LA on that opening drive....and they may have given that momentum right back.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Momentum shifts right back to LA.
Weather conditions will definitely become a bigger factor in this 2nd half.

 

[Battlelyon]

3 and out for both

 

[Xeliou66]

What a grab by Kupp there! Rams have the momentum now

 

[Albuquerque Rams]

I was about to say "not the conditons for deep throws" the Kupp makes that catch.

 

[Judge Fudge]

-1. Shit.

Respect to the fans there
