3rd & goal at the 2, and something went wrong on the play. A bad snap, etc.

Birds go for it on 4th down ...

incomplete

Siriani was trying to get a TO just before the play

No sure I agree with forgoing the points

Williams walks in for the TD for the Rams (from inside the 1)

With the PAT, it's 20-17, Birds, with 3:59 left in the game

Rams drove 98 yards on that possession

Rams KO goes OOB, so the Birds take over on the 40.

I'll take that. LOL

Crap, Birds run on 1st down, and Bigsby stays down.

Birds need multiple 1st downs on this drive

3rd & 4. Birds are 0 for 10 on the day ...

empty backfield

incomplete to Ertz, but the LBer was all over him.

Birds are going for it???

Well, they lined up, but tried to get the Rams to jump, which didn't happen, so they ended up taking a delay of game penalty

Just an awful game to lose. They had 1st and goal to go up 17 with 6 mins left.

Nick certainly isn’t shifting the narrative that he’s a rah-rah average coach.

Birds deflect the pass, and nearly get an INT. Jones should have made the INT on the deflection

Rams pick up a 1st & goal, with 1:22 left.

Birds take a TO. They only have 1 left

Birds take their last TO

2nd & goal from the 7

Williams runs it in for the Rams. Trotter nearly had him in the backfield, but got stiff-armed.

With the PAT, it's 24-20, Rams, with 1:10 left

10 play, 79-yard drive by the Rams

I had to leave to take the kids to the fall festival with the Wife. I’m not watching. Who gave up the sacks on that series? Both sacks to Byron Young. Please tell me it was 51…

1st down: Hurts gets sacked
2nd down: incomplete to Cooper
3rd down: Hurts has the ball stripped, but the Birds recover. 4th & 25
4th down: a deep pass to Cooper, but it is picked off with 4 sec left in the game

smh

I didn't expect to win this game, but the Birds ended up giving it away at the end

Is the Hurts experiment over in Philly? He’s nowhere near a $50 million QB. They will have to blow up this roster after this season.

Maybe a little bit of credit for playing valiantly after all the sustained injuries they had. Still, siriani takes the field goal. We’re only down one.

8-9 or 9-8 type of season coming. The next several games are brutal with all the injuries. The season could get away from them here.

Take the FG. Not getting it gave the Rams life. Poor decision by HC.
Let’s not forget the Eagles D gave up back to back TD drives of 97 and 80 yards. When things mattered most, they were dominated.

I’d have taken the FG too, but it ultimately didn’t matter. The Rams easily scored the 2 TDs they needed to win and the offense continued to be league-worst.

I was following the game online and thought the Iggles had it won at 20-10. Then I saw the final score. Holy hell.

My point West Side is by the Rams stopping them on 4th down it gave them life and with plenty of time. Changed the ebb and flow.

Then they just would have lost 24-23 instead of 24-20. 0-12 on 3rd down=a gassed defense. Needed the TD to be up 3 scores. A functional offense at the goal line would help.
