The Rams started 1-4 when they were riddled with injuries, and they lost the last game when they rested their starters. Otherwise they were 9-2. They beat the Bills and the Lions and the Vikings. The Rams are a good, tough team with a Superbowl-winning head coach and quarterback, superstar Matthew Stafford. They absolutely have the talent to take today's game if the Eagles stumble and don't play clean. I don't think they match up well with the Eagles, though, as evidenced by the last time they played, earlier this season in LA when the Eagles won 37-20. The Rams are good enough on offense to be able to move the ball at times against the Eagles D, but the D will also make some stops -- they're stout enough to shut any offense down for stretches. Moreover, the Rams have struggled on offense down the stretch. Even when they have played well they rely on Puca Nacua. The Eagles can key on him and stand a very good chance of holding them to 20 points or less, or even single digits if they really play well. The key to beat the Eagles defense is to wear them down by forcing the Eagles offense off the field quickly and then converting third and fourth downs with a precision short passing game, especially now that Nakobe Dean is out for the year. It helps to have a mobile QB. (Jayden Daniels for instance gives the Eagles fits.) Quarterbacks who can make quick decisions in a short passing game and minimize mistakes have also given the Eagles problems. The Rams D has gotten much better and is playing their best ball at the right time. However, they're undersized and don't cover well enough to commit 8 in the box and get away with it long term. Unless the Eagles shoot themselves in the foot, the Rams might be able to hang in into the third quarter, but I don't see them holding the Birds off for sixty minutes. For the past month the Eagles have dominated the turnover battle, and I expect them to force some, especially against the RB. Last game he fumbled twice, losing one. The Rams are coming off a short week, a warm-weather dime team headed east to play in cold, wet conditions. They'll play hard but I expect them to be no match for the Eagles in the end unless the Birds lose the turnover battle or the passing game sputters or maybe the snowy conditions make it slick and ripe for a shootout. One thing to watch is who is winning at the half, because based on reports the weather is supposed to deteriorate in the second half. My guess as to score? Eagles 20 Rams 6.
Looks like a dangerous receiving group. This passing attack looks dangerous. I hope our offense warms up early today. I say 33-27 for the eagles. The fact that we barely spoke in this preview videos about the matchup Eagles run offense vs Rams run defense keeps me optimistic.
Eagles have got to expand the damn playbook take more shots down field stop with the short predictable passes in the flat defenses can snuff those out like nothing if Kellen keeps taking job interviews fire him! We need a damn coach with his head in the game not looking for his next job opportunity hire doug Pederson back
Keys to Eagles Victory. 1)Stop the Run 2)keep the Rams offense in 2nd and long and 3rd and long situations. 3) don't get into such a deficit where you have to abandon the run game. 4) limit turnovers
@ I remember well but week 12 isn’t week 17 and week 17 isn’t a divisional playoff round. What are you even arguing? The eagles barely won in the snow. The rams would have won if it wasn’t for a couple mistakes. The eagles aren’t unbeatable and showed serious chinks in their armor the last 2 playoff games. “Oh week 12 yada yada”.. is all you idiots have to say. Proving Eagles fans are dumb, pimply backed inbreds.
The lions should have won that game last night they beat them selfs in every way possible they didn’t play there game at all I can’t wait to play the redskins oh yea the commanders, what a joke name for a pro football team
Loving theses shorter videos!
I have my notifications bell on. Why am I always late to the party.
So. Much. Knowledge, man!🤯🤯🤯 Great stuff, as always. You need to be a consultant for the team.
Very nice analysis, thanks. Had never heard/out together the effect a weak offensive tackle has on how the safeties play

If Kellen Moore goes to another team then you should apply for offensive coordinator Nick! Fly Eagles Fly! 🦅

The snow was all the eagles needed. On an even playing field, I I’d still pick the Rams straight up.
Do you not remember the Eagles stomping the Rams on the road in a dome earlier this year?

If by "beat themselves" you mean "couldn't stop a rookie QB," then yes, that's what happened.
