I was thinking the same, put sydney in there as a Rover Hybrid guy.

I don't think Vic trusts him enough. He has McCollum ahead of him. 

Well, MIN didn’t come away with points on that drive, but at least they burned a lot of clock.

Game over.   Rams Rematch it is. 

 

Going into the weekend, the Rams would have been my first choice of opponent for next week. I’m surprised but pleased it broke like this.

Guesses on opening betting line?

-5?

Aikman- ...Darnold really just needs to force the ball downfield....at this point Darnold just closes his eyes and launches it down field...

Hasnt he been doing both all game?

Play Dime all game and dare the Rams to beat us with the running game. 

No one should be afraid of this rams team. Their defense isn't as good as our offense, their offense CAN be really good, we'll see how they attack Dean's replacement

Or modified nickle with Sydney brown at LB, keeps Maddox off the field

I would think -7.5.

I know this would pain Howie, but even if you extend Baun, which is a must, how about drafting another in round 2 or 3 such as Deontae Lawson, Chris Paul or Smael Mondon.

I like the other Georgia backer Walker, but he may be a first rounder, unsure what position he would have here though I lean towards a pass rusher. 

Barrett Carter and Jaishawn Barham are two guys on my radar as well.

Dominate the LOS and sustain long drives, keep Stafford and company on the sidelines.

Eagles -1.5

So, what we learned tonight is what we expected all along.  The Vikings collapse.  They were a fraud team buoyed by a weak schedule, despite the gaudy record.  They lost to all the top teams they played... Lions and Rams.   And best the bad teams, including the Packerstwice, which again proves that the Packers were also a rather fraud team, even at 11 wins.

 

Years ago, the Bears won 13 games, but lost to the Eagles in the playoffs, because they were a fraud team who hadn't been tested.  One thing the Eagles are... is tested.  They had a fairly tough schedule, and handled their business all along the way.

 

Eagles playing the Rams on Sunday is about as good a matchup as we could hope for... and then we'll see what this team is really made of.  No excuses, they should beat the Rams.

I think Higbee went out with a chest injury, and Witherspoon left with a quad?

Yup.

Rams are a finesse team, eagles play bully ball.

If eagles limit mistakes they win.

SOON........

I had Jared Verse to get a sack and every other Rams defender gets one but him. 

What's the record for sacks in a playoff game?

It's crazy how often the fraudulent Vikings get exposed in the postseason,

Every time.

Rams DL look like their bread and butter has been stunts and twists.
