E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!! Birds - Rams '25 Game Thread

[Tom McAndrew]

They better find a way to get the running game going or they’re not going to make it very far.

Probably the best DL they'll face this season. And Lane going out early really hurt the Birds' O.

The Rams got steamrolled by Barkley in the 2 games the teams played last season. It seemed obvious they were not going to let Barkley beat them today. The Birds' muffing so many KOs had the Birds constantly starting with terrible field position, which didn't help, as the Birds didn't want to pass in those situations, and the Rams were loading up for runs.

The Birds' OL is too good, and Barkley is too good, for them not to get the running game going more smoothly.

Such a difference when AJ Brown is actually involved in the offense. Let’s learn that same lesson for the umpteenth time.

Brown made some Real Man catches today. Dang, very impressive.

I wasn’t just talking about this game…they haven’t run well in any of three games. Other teams are going to be focused on Barkley, so they need to find ways to get him going. Three big wins so far, so it’s not like the sky is falling, but they can’t rely on blocked field goals all year to win.

Doing what they did in the second half will open up the run game. Patullo finally seems to have realized that he can’t recreate last year’s game plan on offense.

Let AJ, Slim and Dallas eat. The run will come!

Teams are selling out to stop the run. This is now three games in a row that they have been running into loaded boxes. Patullo needs to pass to open up the run game, instead of run to open up the pass game. The second half of this game showed us that.

Yeah, Cowpokes - Bears as one of the national games???

Oh well, the nation missed an ugly 1st half (for the Birds), and a great 2nd half, and overall, a very entertaining game from two of the best teams in the NFC.

Just a fan tweeting, but it gave me a chuckle:

HAAAAAHAHAHA!!!!

Still at a loss of words ... When the eagles blocked the kick my phone blew up with about 15 texts that all said OMG LOL

 

[NittPicker]

I guessing Pryor may have lost his spot on the depth chart.

Yeah. Thank god for Fred Johnson. What a difference in the offense after that change at RT.

On Lane, I hope him staying dressed on the sideline is a good sign.

 

[Bwifan]

And for many not only blocked the kick but by returning it for a TD the Eagles covered LOL ... How. Many TV sets had a beer bottle thrown through them by people that had the Rams and points

 

[Tom McAndrew]

One of the Birds' beat reporters, but his tweet could have been made by a fan. LOL

Eagles Week 3 stock watch: Tush Push still works, run defense lacks in remarkable walk-off win

We're still trying to make sense of how the Eagles pulled this one off. A look at a reason for hope and for dismay.

Eagles-Rams observations: Did that comeback win really, actually just happen?

A furious second-half Eagles comeback was about to be for naught, until Jordan Davis blocked another field goal and pandemonium ensued.

The pivotal plays from the Eagles' rollercoaster comeback over the Rams

A.J. Brown finally started getting the ball, and Jordan Davis blocked the make-or-break kick to save the Eagles at the last second.

This one’s officially over, gang. What an inept performance across the board. They don’t look like champions.

Oh yea of little faith

I had to go pick up our dinner… my wife asked me when I was leaving. I said, “ Right after the Eagles block this FG!” As God as my witness, I said it!

I personally think it’s Landon Dickerson and I think he’s more hurt than he’s admitting too
