All I know is the first few pages of this game thread were dominated with how this was an awful matchup for the Rams. It wouldn’t be much of a game. How all the weaknesses of one team (rams) were the strengths of the other (eagles). Etc etc etc. somehow I think those same people weren’t saying that on that last drive.
Good win for the Eagles. But I’m proud as hell of the Rams. Had everything working against them all playoffs long and showed nothing but heart and grit.
Stafford showed why he’s a future Hall of Famer. McVay showed why he’s a top three coach in the league.
Eagles ran for 285 yards at 8.4 yards per carry even though the Rams sold out to stop the run. I'd say that went about exactly as I thought it would. I wish the Eagles would have run the ball more, I think they threw a bit too much.
Agree some of the play calls, like the one we took the safety on, were pretty disappointing.
Yeah, they were a little pass heavy which allowed the Rams smaller line to get pressure. I understand, when the other team is putting 7 and 8 guys in the box, you have to throw it. But as we saw with Saquon, if you stack the box, once he gets by the first line, it's off to the races. I want to give him as many opportunities for that as I can.
