Does anyone else feel better facing the Rams this week than the Eagles last week?

I just didn't have a great feeling we were going to blow the Eagles out like some analysts were predicting.
I oddly feel better about this matchup for some reason even though it points to another nail biter.
The crowd will be even more electric. I believe the Eagles have a better defense than the Rams too.
I'm no going to predict a win but, I do think you see a team that will play well in all four quarters

The Eagles game certainly had every factor going against the Saints. Scrappy team that felt disrespected and was playing hot with their new QB.
The Rams game is what is is. NFC championship game against clearly the best two teams in the NFC. Just as it should be. Whatever happens, happens.

Sorry not really.
Rams have talent nearly at every position. Our defense needs to play well. I'm not sure our offense can put up a fifty burger shootout type game.

I was a little more nervous last week.

Was nervous last week and a little moreso this week. Feel better knowing we shook the rust off, but that's about it. I feel like when the Rams are clicking they are a superior team to the Eagles.

Brees havent suit up in two weeks prior and it shows BUTT i expect him to be in fine form against the Rams.
Superior QB, better Personnel, A+ Defense, Coaching and of course Home Field. I feel better in this one than the Eagles.

I was more worried about the Eagles.
Foles is better and more playoff-ready than Goff, for one.

Need the defense to slow their runnng game. Our offense needs to click better than it has in weeks. Get Ginn, Kamara and Ingram involved. No turnovers and limit penalties

I have 0 confidence Goff can perform in a pressure cooker with trumpets blaring in his ears for 3 1/2 hours. If we stop the run, we win this.

I'd feel better if Talib was out again. Or if one of our other wrs can step up.
Posted on 1/15/19 at 10:27 am to OKtiger
no...i'm pretty damn nervous about the Rams
Posted on 1/15/19 at 10:28 am to OKtiger
Yah bc we wont come out sleepwalking

How has Talib played this season?

rams dont have much of a defense so it should be easier to score against them they it was against the eagles, that said, on any given sunday any team can be your worst nightmare

I was more nervous about the Eagles.
Foles > Goff
Pederson more proven in big moments than McVay
Eagles are more clutch than Rams
Rams strength right now is running. Our strength is stopping the run.
Eagles are a road-tested team not afraid.
Rams have never played a big playoff game on the road.
Eagles have strong leadership. Foles, Jenkins, their C (forget his name). The Rams have fricking idiots like Peters, Talib, Suh and soft arse guys like Cooks.
Bottom line is the game will be tough and is no gimme but the Eagles, who by the way, beat the Rams in LA, are a better team imo.

While I'm not as big on Foles as most people (pretty good QB but can be extremely inconsistent), I have to agree as a playoff QB he's much better than Goff.
There was an article that stated the Rams knew what the Cowboys line was going to do with over 90% accuracy, which is a big reason for their run success as they took advantage of vacated gaps when they used stunts.
But that also let them keep Goff clean with no sacks and only one pressure all game (which iirc came on the first drive when Vander Esch blitzed the A gap and forced a bad throw).
Despite Goff facing nearly zero pressure he still only went for 15/28 (53.6%), 186 yards, 0 TDs, and a 74.4 rating (also threw no picks). This was at "home" and knowing he wasn't getting pressured.
The loss of Kupp hurt them big time. This lets teams that are good against the run bottle up their passing game also.
And we have proven we can also shut Gurley down in the passing game.
As long as we don't have any huge tells like the Cowboys, and we stay in our gaps, I GREATLY like our chances.
