Will the Los Angeles Rams going be over their brutal loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in time to show up for their game against the Indianapolis Colts? Of course, the Rams will be there physically, but what about mentally? As a fan, I have been so disappointed because I’ll admit, when they were up 26-7, I thought the Rams were going to win.
Whereas last year, I never really expected them to the beat the Eagles, and so, this one hurts in a way that their losses last year didn’t. That’s how I feel. Even if they make it to the playoffs, they won’t be able to beat the best teams, and the weight of that has hit me very hard as a fan today.
But they are the pros, I am a fan, they are supposed to be able to handle this type of adversity better than me, which is one of the reasons they get paid, and I just play football on Madden every now and again.
Please comment on whatever you want, it’s Tuesday and before we know it, it will be Thursday Night Football. On to the next one. Thank you checking out Turf Show Times!

“Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni stresses the importance of staying focused no matter the situation.
“We have to keep our emotions in check,” he said, per The Athletic’s Brooks Kubena. “‘He’s reserved at the podium while acknowledging how emotional the win was. They have to stay mentally tough he says, to manage the swells of a game, the crackdowns of the league on penalties like taunting.’”
[“Eagles fan take here. Yes it is most definitely a rivalry. Although we seem to always beat McVay, Eagles can’t count on late game heroics and winning with 1 possession juju magic. Our new OC is alarmingly conservative. We did nothing until they basically went up tempo and let Jalen call the...
