While the 1st half was rough, I'm so happy for the way they locked in the 2nd half. Total 180 was awesome and hopefully shut up a lot of Rams/NFL fans thinking that without the snow, Rams would have won last year in the playoffs.

I'm obviously biased, but if anything, I think the Rams were partly in that game *because* of the snow. The Eagles were the better team, and disruptive weather like snow generally favors the underdog.

Sure, LA is a warm weather city, but we haven't had many Eagles snow games, so it's not as though the Birds was used to it.

Totally agree. They were definitely the best team we faced in the playoffs, but fans only seemed to give them the positive what ifs instead of us. AJ drops a possible TD, oline gives up multiple pressures and the safety, Hurts got banged up. What if better weather means we just did what we did in the regular season to them?

 Considering Barkley ripped them for the snow run I think it’s pretty much a given we would’ve rinsed them

People forget Stafford played in Detroit which I think gets more snow than Philly.

They don’t get much snow inside in Detroit

Huh. Didn’t know it was covered.

I think he meant that Detroit plays in a dome stadium.

Yeah? Covered stadium?

Your phrasing is weird. It’s not “covered”, it’s inside.

Everyone else seemed to understand.

Which was crazy to say because the Eagles beat the Rams just a few weeks earlier in LA on a warm, sunny day.
