Well if McShitferBrains doesn't get his dumbass in gear, we are going to be 2-4 come Sunday Night!

1 half is not most of the game.

They did nothing the entire 2nd half.

But neither did the Eagles (6 pts), so the defense performed well overall.

One thing i hate is shitty tackling, I'd rather you look at the ball carrier and just allow him to run past you rather than give a half ass effort. I saw so many times LB's ( Byron Young) simply run and put a shoulder on the guy bumping him instead of doing their damn job and tackling the ball carrier. That's lazy football, hell who is the LB's coach?

Derrion Kendrick needs to be shown the door as he not once, but twice gave up play after play with his piss poor coverage and tackling ability. Seriously why is he even on the team, the guy can't cover worth a shit and last yr was the same mess. He is not an NFL db, show him the door! The only bright spot in the secondary seems to be Witherspoon. So far this team is what it is...and has taken on the mentality of the coach. Which is that of a soft ass know it all who couldn't make a 1st half adjustment if his life depended on it. Whats the record now going into half time without the lead? 2-25? 1-17..there's gotta be a stat out there for this.

Over all the team isn't bad but needs to execute better, and that starts with the play calling, focusing on the area where you need most improvement at which is running the fucking football. If you cannot do that you will not be successful, maybe one day coach dip shit will get it.

The youth is a factor. Can't have that many rookies on the roster without expecting mistakes. 12 rookies on the 53, two more on IR, 6 more on the practice squad.

The Eagles led by 3 AT THE START OF THE 4th quarter...

LOL.

That means the defense played a good game for the most part ( if we ignore their typical collapse before the half ).

The offense was none existent the entire 2nd half

They played well for most of the game vs a top 2 team in the NFC.

My post still stands....OVERALL as a team they played well vs a top 2 team....3 out of 4 quarters is most of the game.

LOL.

The Rams offense ranks 31st in the NFL in second-half offense EPA in Weeks 2-5. They are averaging just -0.268 EPA/play in that time span. Only the New England Patriots led by Mac Jones and Bill O’Brien are worse. It’s an issue that dates back to last season. Since the beginning of 2022, the LA offense ranks 31st in second-half offense EPA, averaging -0.161 EPA/play. Only the Tennessee Titans are worse.

They've been "whole" for one game with Kupp back, and it was against the Eagles. Let's see what they can do against teams that are penciled in for the NFC championship game. We already know not to expect much from the running game, since they are rolling with two meh candidates when McVay can be bothered to call running plays.
