Rams

[RedAlice]

Weird Fact: Sean McVay will coach his 13th playoff game as head coach of the Rams this weekend. All 13 games have been against different opponents.

Opponent -Date
Atlanta Falcons January 6, 2018
Dallas Cowboys January 12, 2019
New Orleans Saints January 20, 2019
New England Patriots February 3, 2019
Seattle Seahawks January 9, 2021
Green Bay Packers January 16, 2021
Arizona Cardinals January 17, 2022
Tampa Bay Buccaneers January 23, 2022
San Francisco 49ers January 30, 2022
Cincinnati Bengals February 13, 2022
Detroit Lions January 6, 2024
Minnesota Vikings January 13, 2025
Philadelphia Eagles January 19, 2025

So he only needs to face the Commanders, Giants, Panthers, and Bears to play every NFC team besides the Rams in the playoffs.

Also, how long has it been since he played a road game in the cold in the playoffs? Just curious.
Go Philly

 

[RedAlice]

They played Detroit last year. I don't remember what the weather was like.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Indoors.

As much as I can't stand the Rams, that was an impressive perfomance over the weekend. And yes, that hurt to say

IF they catch Philly on an off day, your boys actually do have a shot.

I hate the Eagles, I hope the Rams absolutely obliterate them.

I really don't care what division these teams play in when it's the playoffs as it has nothing to do with us. I could even end up rooting for the Rams in three straight rounds if they win this week, draw the Lions next week, and then play either the Chiefs or Ravens in the Super Bowl. There's not really anything unlikeable about them.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Lame. But do you.

Thank you! I know it pains you. For me, it felt like watching the team play the way Rams fans knew they could - but, hadn't seen yet. So, if it's the end of the season then it ends happy.

The Eagles are a huge mismatch for the Rams. They will not only have to play to their full potential like last week, but do some stuff they aren't necessarily good at in addition.

Barkely being the number one BIG PROBLEM. He's insane good.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No doubt. Him and Derrick Henry were the 2 biggest additions of the season, imo. And could end up being the biggest reason both teams end up in the Owl. I think Ravens/Lions, but hoping for Bills/Lions.
Philly also have the #1 defense.

I know this won’t go well, but I am pulling for the Rams…McVay is one hell of a Coach, does so much with so little and almost always has his players ready. Then there’s the NFC West representation

It is now at 100% chance of snow for the Eagles/Rams game.

N 12 mph
Snow showers early will become steadier snow in the afternoon. Temps nearly steady in the low to mid 30s. Winds N at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 100%. Snow accumulating 3 to 5 inches.

I'm actually pulling for the Rams because their fans seem pretty chill. Eagle fans on the other hand are the biggest douches on the planet. Look no further than the viral video from last week of the Packers fan at the Eagles game.

Our own young Macdonald had McVay's number, won twice this season when two teams played.

I'll admit I had to double check, but they split...

I wouldn't be shocked if they moved the game to Tuesday. The NFL is so wimpy now.

You are correct . We threw one game away, we shoulda won, so toffee the homer counted that as tro wins.

 

[ZagHawk]

There's really only four reasons people hate an NFL team.

1) They just keep winning and they're not your team. So all the media hype gets old fast - Patriots now Chiefs.

2) Fanbase does not mesh well with your fanbase - Niners

3) Fanbase has some kind of reputation that is violent/immature/obnoxious/etc - Raiders, Eagles, Cowboys.

4) Team itself has players/coach that have been quoted saying hateful things towards your team/fanbase.

5) Team has been one-sided beating your team over the last 3-5 years in a row and you just want revenge - Niners, Packers

....I don't think the Rams or Cardinals really fall in either of those lists for me personally.

No one likes Philly fans.

 

[BigMeach]

The Rams also beat the Vikings earlier this year, so I think they kind of knew what they were doing before the game yesterday

You mean the no call facemask for a safety game?

Did you watch that game? This was a totally different defensive game plan. Clearly inspired by what the Lions did.

No one likes Philly fans.

Philly fans hate each other. Sort of like…….
