I'm a little skeptical about how much bulletin board stuff really matters. I mean the Rams were gonna lose Monday if Campbell hadn't said that? The game would've been different? I'd like to think that even without that, Rams would've found a way to get fired up.

Plus, that's a pretty round-about way of getting to the bulletin board. It wasn't even anybody from the Vikings who said it. Even then, it was just kind of a nod to a fellow NFC North coach. I didn't think that was much to begin with.

I dont think it matters that much. Lashawn Mccoy had a great game in a snow game for Philly few seasons back. And shit Carolina beat them in a cold game before. That was the Deshawn Foster game. Tampa Bay beat them in a cold game before the Rhonde Barber game. This game is about Will. Matthew Stafford isnt Jordan Love. He doesnt give a fuck.

Playoff Cooper Kupp is a beast. How many super bowl shots does Cooper Kupp and Stafford have? We are putting it all out on the line. How much does Sean Mcvay have?

Snow helps. Well because Saquon Barkley relies on cutting.

Kyren Williams played in this at Notre Dame. Kyren Williams is a straigt down the hill runner.

Bills looked good in the snow. I think the ganeplan is protect the football.

Is this gonna be a cleveland Pittsburg snow game???? They moved the ball. Throwing down field was an issue.

I think with our guys Nacua and Higbee it helps they are middle of the field guys. Naturally we will be running alot of screens.

I like Demarcus Robinson and I keep saying him because I like what he can do. Hes certainly getting one on one. None of yall are talking about him. Thats the guy you need to talk about. When he gets going we win.

So whos he matched up against a linebacker. ? Its on.

Our weapons are superior to theirs. They have a lot of top firepower but were deep.

If you take out Barkley you take out the team.

The locker room chemistry is an issue with Brown and Hurts.

We might have the tightest team in the league.

Verse gotta keep his mouth shut. But so what???? Didnt they just call a woman packers fan a C word. So fuck them. They are disgusting. Theres the evidence. Go Rams!!!!! The fans dont play. And the way you shut them up is by scoring touchdowns.

As for the snow, pretty sure it helps the Eagles though not sure how much there's really gonna be.

We'll see...

I think it can matter some, but I think what was going on in LA trumped that for sure.

Does firing up the opponents fans do anything? I am sure they will be loud at first. I remember something along these lines happened at NO in the NFC Championship, we won that game.

Yeah I think the snow is ok if it really is only a few inches in 3 hours. If it was bigger I favor the eagles, since overall they have the best running back and all in all more use to these conditions.

[actionjack]

A matchup that isnt getting talked about much is our OL vs their DL.

If you remember we were without Havs, which was huge as McClendon didnt have his best game. Stafford was sacked 5 times but was 24/36 with 2 TD's and Kyren had 72 yards on 16 carries (4.5 ypc).

Well the eagles are without Brandon Graham and LB Dean. Hopefully between us having our full strength OL and eagles not at full strength (in their front 7) helps us establish the run and keep Stafford clean.

We are going to need an A game from the OL and Stafford to win.

And FREE TUTU

I think AJ’s point is valid and I want to add a few things.

First, this OL is much much more physical than past ones. Prior ones were often undersized and didn’t necessarily match up well against physical fronts, especially good DTs and pressure up the middle. This OL is a different beast. Dotson, Avila, Jackson, Havs, and BL are strong and physical players. You can see times where they impose their will on DL. And they are good pass blockers and good at picking up the blitz. No way do I think they get pushed around all game by Philly’s front line.

I feel the same about our DL. Yes Philly has a strong OL but the Rams DL has a nice mix of guys who can play straight up and guys like Verse and Young who can come from the edge. Of course Verse can come right up the gut too. Again, this is not a finesse DL.

Overall this is a different type of Rams team than some of the previous ones. They are a very physical team and I like that (and like that they should maintain that in the future). That’s one of the reasons I think they can stay with Philly and be in it in the 4th, even with the chance of snow/weather.

I'd feel a lot more secure with the Rams chances if Corum was suiting up and we could field a legitimate 1,2 punch at RB. If the weather holds true most of this game will take place on the ground.

[ramsman34]

I too think the snow favors our run game over theirs. Like ramman said, K Will is a downhill runner; Saquon a bit more of a slasher/cut and go runner. The issue is Saquon’s speed. He will be slower in snow but so will the defenders trying to tackle him. I actually can’t wait to see how the Rams handle the snow and if MCV can game plan and, as importantly, make the in-game adjustments to excel in the conditions.

Rivers and Schrader (if he plays) are both downhill runners and Rivers has looked good lately. Don’t think there will be much drop off when K Will needs a blow.

Agree this will be a heavy run game but the short and intermediate pass game more than the deep game will likely be deployed as well.
