zero idea what 77 was thinking there for the Eagles on that sack/fumble.  he looked right at the guy rushing then pulled off of blocking to block.....nobody.

I think when conditions get really bad, it just makes everything harder, including basic communication.

[Aussie Joe]

Rams would be happy to be only 3 down …. eagles have left some points out there ..

[QCity]

Hurts potentially cost them 6 points with those sacks.

[Casey D]

Hurts is just awful.  It will be a miracle for Eagles to win a Super Bowl with him at QB.

Great stop at the end for LA. I enjoy seeing Hurts dipsey doodle into a sack. I can only hope that we can get to Jackson tonight in the same way.

I’m in Maryland and we got a quick 2-3 inches of snow, i think that’s what is headed to Philly now 

By the start of the 4th quarter it will be dumping.

[Philly McButterpants]

Good first half. Let’s go Rams. 

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

To defend Hurts a little, he had two great deep shots that should have been completions (Smith/hit to the head, and Brown bobble).
 

I just don’t get why the eagles are throwing though. It’s wet and snowy. Just run.

I'm baffled too - the Rams don't have an answer to the run.

For a California turf team the Rams play well in the cold 🥶

They keep making it a story about Verse and the Eagles fans but he went to HS at Central Columbia about 2 hours from Philly so he’s basically a Philly Native. 
 

I actually watched him in HS while I was at a D3 college and he was maybe 220 pounds tops at the time. You could tell he was a very good athlete but Central Columbia at least on the night I watched him used him very sparingly as a TE on offense and he was fine on defense but not a game wrecker by any stretch. I thought he was going to end up as a D2 PSAC kid with a chance to go FCS. Danville HS ended up crushing them that night. Followed him on twitter just to see where he would end up and never cared again till he ended up at FSU. He is the true definition of a late blossomer and a product of strength and conditioning and college development

he is a rookie playing in his 19th game of the year, a playoff game on the road and still looks strong and fast.

 

Not sure what your obsession is with comparing him to two guys who need new contracts here.  

Illuminating the fact people undervalue Bills players and overvalue players on other teams. He was a solid player for Los Angeles, he didn’t do anything more impressive than Epenesa (who was a relative bargain as an FA) and was significantly less effective than a guy like Rousseau. 
 

Age is incredibly important, he came into the league in his prime. You’re expecting continued ascension because he’s a rookie, but he’s closer to a finished product than not. 
 

With the benefit of hindsight you were willing to trade up into the Top 20 for a player less productive than Epenesa and Rousseau, while ignoring the fact that there’s suppressed projection due to age and maxed out physicality?

God I hope McD already learned.

 

I don't think it will be needed today but you never know.
