Game Thread: Week 3, The Los Angeles Rams @ The Philadelphia Eagles, Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA, Sunday, 09/21/2025, 10:00 AM PST

[Retroram52]

The Rams make the trip to Philadelphia for the Rematch of the Divisional Round to the NFC Championship Game last year where the Rams were 14-yards away from going to the NFC Championship Game. The Rams are coming off two wins with a slow-staring Offense and a Defense that has rebuilt to be effective against the run. The Rams are still giving-up big pass plays on Defense but are really shutting-down teams against the run. The Rams will have to play some of their best Football to date to shut down the Iggles. This game is winnable but the Rams will have to start early scoring on Offense and then play stifling, smothering Defense the rest of the game for the win!!

Watching the Eagles and Chiefs and the Eagles look like they did last season. This will be a tough match for the Rams.

 

[Retroram52]

The GM for the Eagles, Howie Roseman is very shrewed but he has built a team for dominance over the long-haul and he is always making deals to improve said team. The Eagles in this Game are going to be even more dominant than they were last year working their way up to the Snooperbowl because of the activites of this GM. They have few weaknesses and the Rams are going to have to play some of their best Football to beat them.

This starts the hardest part of our schedule

@Philly
vs Indy
vs 49ers
@Ravens
@Jags
Bye week

Worst case scenario we go 0-5, the second half schedule isn't that daunting.

None the less, let us take it one game at a time. Philly is the best football team. It's going to be a tall order. Certainly need to play better to start the game. We will see how our run defense holds up.

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Verse and Fiske need to pick it up soon.

The DL needs to keep Hurts under pressure to cover the secondary shortcomings ( especially with Witherspoon out ).

Yeah, Indy is definitely better than expectations. Not surprised with them about week one since the Dolphins organization is a dumpster fire right now it feels like. But for the Denver game, while they took advantage of their second chance, played them better than I thought they would. So that one is looking tougher than when the schedule came out. I know it's early but wondering if Daniel Jones is going to be this year's Sam Darnold.

Daniel can make moves with his legs, and he has a good RB and some decent wide outs to help so i would not be surprised. Offense needs to get the molasses out their ass and pick this shit up.

Steichen is pretty good at boosting middling QBs.

Looks like Avila maybe out for the Philly Game and I didn't know Fiske was hurt in the Titans game and may not play in the Iggles contest.

2 Rams don’t practice Wednesday: Who is more important?

Avila, Fiske would be huge losses against Eagles

[Retroram52]

These three will be out for the Game against the Iggles.

Steve Avila could miss second straight Rams game

The Los Angeles Rams are listing guard Steve Avila as DOUBTFUL to play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, all but assuring that the offensive line will be down a starter for the second week in a row. Avila missed Week 2’s win over the Tennessee Titans and despite some speculation this...

[Rambunctious]

Predictions? I think the Rams will be more relaxed and Philly is probably a little worried about Sunday.

 

[Red_Chaos]

avila is starting to become a problem now seems since his rookie year he's always hurt...

 

[Retroram52]

I believe he has gotten too heavy and out of shape for his own good. Somewhat lazy of a dude O-lineman. Dedich is going to take his place.

 

[Retroram52]

This signing is a bit too late. I was screamin' for the Rams to sign this guy back in 2023. Now its like he is some sort of savior or something. I think his career is about done.

Rams should sign Stephon Gilmore

L.A. still has work to do in the secondary, and Gilmore could be a solid short-term fix

Next man up, football comes with injuries. We have to be able to move on and have faith in the next man.

 

[Retroram52]

Dedich is that next guy and he has proven to be pretty good and durable.

Agree, plus he wants too much money. Rams need depth behind the guys they have, not an addition out front.

The Rams vs the Eagles is going to be the game of the day.

Or the Chargers vs Broncos.....could be both. The only 2 games that I think have a shot today. Clearly, Baltimore vs Detroit on MNF could be the game of the week.

Buncha meh games.
