Congratulations to Atlanta on their win. But the Rams’ brain trust blew it.

The Rams best offensive option, as it will be with Philly, was to RUN mostly. But the Rams did what all rookie playoffs teams whose run game is their best chance - and what I think Philly also has a good chance of doing. They panic early and go into “hurry-up and pass” mode.

Atlanta has a strong pass defense but a mediocre run defense against a strong Rams’ running game which the Rams failed to utilize enough to win. Philly’s passing game is mediocre whereas Philly’s running game is one of the best.

Philly’s redemption will probably be that they have one of the best defenses in the NFL - much better than the Rams mediocre defense. If Philly goes ahead early they may not need to go into that bone-headed panic mode.
