It could be a combination of both and IMO, it is time to part ways with Beaux Limmer. He cannot pass protect and he is also on the FG protect team and that is where the pressure is coming from. Also Karty could be kicking the ball low, but he made four other FG's, so what is going on? If he is kicking the ball low, then bring in someone else to pressure him like Younghoe Koo for example.

There are two internal options to replace Limmer in Wyatt Bowles and Dylan McMahon. Bowles is more of a natural guard and bigger and with Dedich's ablity to play center would be a better option,. But please get Limmer off the FG protect team, my God, cannot believe they sent him out there again the way he is showcasing his inability to protect in any fashion.

Even more surprising, to me at least, is the fact that we ran behind Limmer on the 4th & 2.

I’m a homer Rams fan going way back. What I saw yesterday was encouraging but revealing. I knew the Rams were in trouble when they were only ahead 19-7 at halftime (They needed better redzone play especially that overturned TD).
The Rams are short on physical CBs and effective OLinemen. Unless they improve at these positions I’m expecting (optimistically) another 10-7 year and early exit in playoffs.

Yes they didn't score in close, but it wasn't cause the plays were bad or were not there to be had. Which has been the case. It falls completely on Stafford, he overthrew the receiver two separate trips to the redzone.

Oh on the talent front - we are up there with every single team in the NFL, Eagles included.

Our OL and CBs are average - but the Eagles secondary and pass rush is mediocre. The Ravens entire defense seems suspect. The Bills entire roster outside of Allen is pretty meh.

Puka is 1A/B/C along with Jefferson and Chase. I am tired of beating around that bush. While Davante and Stafford aren't always on the same page, we've seen that he is probably the best #2 WR in the league this year.

Kyren and Corum are running very well.

Landman has elevated our LBs.

I guess what I'm saying is - every team has a 'weakness' or average talent somewhere.

AJ Brown is a freak of nature - not many like him. Our CBs shut down Nico Collins in week one. They can play over their heads, and obviously Akhello would have helped. But even without him, what do we have to worry about coming up? Colts, Niners, Ravens, Jaguars, Cardinals, Seahawks....there are some good WRs there, but mostly matching up with Forbes/Williams body types.

We're fine guys. We are one of the best teams in the NFL.....we are in that tier.

Gotta add some size/juice to the CB corp.

But that's my point though - the Eagles need to add to their pass rush, the Ravens need better CB play too, the Chiefs need....a lot....the Packers need, better QB play and do we trust their WRs? The Bills need better DL outside of Oliver.

Everybody needs something

The frustrations are how certain things weren't addressed in the off season, or were poorly.

We still don't g ave a CB1 and we saw that yesterday.

We spent good money on Atwell and he's MIA.

And we started a trend it seemed to bigger IOL guys and reversed course and that also was evident yesterday.

Those three things will haunt all year. Add yo that we don't have an ilb who can cover. Lamdman is great in the run game but a liability in coverage.

Never give up but we have our roster faults.

Nah, I saw Tutu... he was running the shit out those motions behind the line!
 
Yesterday, Philly went 3 for 3 in the red zone. The Rams were 1 for 4.
Fix that, along with the 3rd down conversion rate, and we're going places.
If not, we're going on an early vacation again.
McVay has to learn to go with what's working, when we're inside of the 30.
Still.
 
I never expected to win in Philly, I wanted it and they put the league in notice with that game.

However, when they started playing not to lose in the second half they fucked up. Just keep the pressure up, there was no need to let up.

2-1 with the colts coming in, they have a chance to gain momentum heading into the 2nd quarter of games.

Supposedly there was a clip of Orlovsky on Get Up this morning claiming that the Eagles knew they could get blocks after the first FG attempt.

So why wait?

Bowles would be my choice to elevate from the PS.
I would move Limmer to the PS if they thing he still has potential as a C.

well, the Rams have two undefeated teams coming up next then at Baltimore.....so, we will find out soon.

I think we found out yesterday. They needed about 6 or 7 things to go wrong in that 4th quarter. Or should I say the Eagles had to make about 6 or 7 plays just on their last drive and then the FG block to win that game, and they made all those plays. It happens. The Rams showed they belong, they just need to keep their OL and their 37 yr old QB healthy. That might be their biggest obstacle to making a run this year.

Agreed.
Stafford said he got kneed in the crotch on the hit he was slow getting up from and stretching and his back felt fine.
That was as good of news as a knee to crotch can be....

On the surface, it's just one game. We're still 2-1. But this one sucks because it could affect the playoffs. And also, we beat two AFC teams and lost to the one NFC team we played so we're actually in last place in the NFC West. Of course it's early and a lot more football ahead, but dropping a game that the Rams basically had won, let it slip away then got back into position to win it on a reasonable distance FG is like Charlie Brown trying to kick that football. On the bright side, the defense pretty much kept Barkley in check.
