Good for you…I’m not judgemental

I knew you scored him when you lost your virginity. I hope he doesn't tell the rest of them

Lost my virginity pretty early so I kind of skipped the playing with myself phase you went through so long

I’ve still always been a geek though

I'm glad DeJean has some games under his belt now.

There you go... you almost are talking Xs and Os... instead of just mentioning players... almost there pumpkin

Siri would tell you all about if you plant a seed …even a pumpkin can grow from those deep roots….even in artificial turf

Loss of Dean they will clearly target

How?with who? Does their TE bother you? Despite us winning Kroft was a big thorn in our side

OMG!!!!nThey are going to utilize the players they have. God help us all

Why even contribute…if you aren’t trying to contribute?

Xs and Os baby... the great O mind... gotta be more than just Puka on Slay and Cooper on Cooper.... give me some high level football terms and concepts on how the great o mind would deploy these assets vs our squad.   WE got formations, routes, protections etc.    Lots of Xs and Os to discuss.   

McVay is way beyond any football knowledge I could contribute.

Are you predicting exactly the same production and output?

IDK, you seem to be with Puka, Kupp and Williams... so I just brought up Barkley.

For me... the two biggest problems either team will face... are Barkley and Jalen Carter.  I mean, it is the NFL so I always expect the other team to actually produce something, I'm not really expecting 55-0 where we hold them to 40 total yards and we get 600 yards.   They will produce on us, they will stop us... but I just expect we produce more on them and we stop them more than they stop us.  

I like our matchup.... and really I feel that a good part of our fan base does not realize how good our OL is.   I love how you recognize this mentioning our worst OL Becton dominating guys with pancakes.   Shady recently said this on TV, that he thinks this Eagles OL is the best of all time.  It is pretty crazy with it's size.  For me, I would hate to go against us, I think there is a goo part of our fanbase that just doesn't realize this as they just constantly need to look for something to complain about.  Good thing you pointed out our 5th best OL nd how dominant he is... imagine dealing with him, plus the other 4..then having to stop Barkley or chase Hurts?  

 

 

 

We brought Paris back up onto the 53. IDK how effective AJ will be,he said his knee was fine,but the route tree was vanilla. To be effective he is going to have to make cuts. We may use a rotation if AJ is guarded. I'm hoping after the GB TD Hurts will trust Dotson a little

LMAO why are you scared of the players they have? We have players too. if you cower in fear,you are already defeated

But you know how Siri hated Motion and liked to get the playcall in at the last second? McVay’s the opposite. A top O mind indeed. He really utilizes motion. In several ways. He gets the playcall in early so has QB can have time to read the D. It’s amazing how easy it is to bash a QB not getting the best read when he’s up against the playclock with no motion giving any extra ‘tells.’ A QB with time to survey things because he did get the playcall early enough….then sets forth motion to really survey the landscape presnap. All the sudden QBs look so much wiser.

If AJ is just 80% he will produce or draw coverage away from Smitty who I expect a good game from. Goedert always a weapon. We have to see how they come out of the tunnel,then figure out the best way to beat it. We have enough talent they will be strecthing to cover them all even if AJ isn't 100%

You know who the Rams DC is?

Ham, you know its 2025... can we get over 2021 before Steichen... it has zero effect on a game about to be played on January 19, 2025.  

Lets talk Xs and Os... stop being like the 7 year old having to make fun of people... that's not what grown ups do.   We got plenty of xs and Os to discuss here.

Back to Puka, I think they absolutely try to isolate him as much as possible vs our RCB opposite of Mitchell. This might force  Fangio to call less 2 deep and possibly employ a single high look but lean it towards that side.  I trust Mitchell on the island vs their 3rd WR ( I consider Kupp 2 if not 1B) ... i'm hoping he sneaks in some runs blitzes as well, if we can keep Williams in check early, force them to pass, it will make the coverage schemes much easier to execute.  

Rams are tired,they were beat up by the Vikes,they had 1 day less rest,they are coming into a hostile crowd,we didn't expend alot of energy vs GB. We are ready to go. Stafford has a great arm,we need to make him move,he's not a runner.Same as always. Hurts can't take 15 minutes to throw. he can't run backwards and take sacks. Just play intelligent ball and we're good

Get Barkley to the 2nd tier and he's gone

They also need to worry about him running routes which we could see a bit more of if AJ seems hampered

Amazing insight🤣 because EVERY team wants this. Stating the obvious like you are the first one to say it LOL. I was with Dan Marinos cousin for 12 years and she spent a week here right after Thanksgiving. Know Dan very well

I was with the best snowboarder in the world one summer. It was right before all her Olympic glory. Just another girl that was a freak that I thought could snowboard really well….absolutely no idea she was headed on the trajectory she was.

They basically had less than a days rest... when you play that night game (which we had too many back in 2023, not a thing to take lightly when considering a " collapse")  it basically gives you the post game routine either early in the morning ... or not at all.

You play early, you go i the tub, get your post game meal and a good night sleep... compare the Eagles being done 7:30pm on Sunday... do the post game routine and home in bed by 10.  Vs the Rams ending after 11pm Monday... post game routine done around 1:30 am... then travel back... recovery is way behind schedule.  

We looked much fresher than Green Bay, should be same with the Rams.   The following week would even out a little, especially if we travel to Detroit.  Still... look at the stability of the schedule.... would end up being 3 weeks ...3 Sunday games... 4:30, 3pm and 3pm.   Great routine.

 

Thing is,Detroit is pretty beat up. Winning tomorrow sets us up tp play a beat up team who could lose more players this weekend. Although we would play in Detroit,I think we can beat them,but first things first

Even though the Vikes lost,the thing I noticed was Stafford was not moving out of the pocket, he looked like a statue back there. I believe our pass rush is better than the Vikes. Love to see DeJean come on a safety blitz sometime

I brought up our need to get Trot involved. Loss of Dean they will clearly target. Just this last SB targeting Oren Burks pretty much was exactly the way to beat the Niners to repeat for KC. So is it fair to assume the blueprint AR drew up will be expanded upon by McVay?

They’ll target Burks run and pass

IDK alot about Oren Burks,what do you guys think of him? He seems excited to play,and I hope he is because we have him for the duration

Barkley is a problem on turf.... 255 yards.  Also Hurts is a problem on turf.  They are used to it, our guys will be faster on the turf.  Would be exciting
