Game Thread: St. Louis Rams @ Seattle Seahawks

[boogiewithstu2007]

Rams have noticed, too. 11 men in the box on some plays, and no fewer than 8, and almost never a deep safety.

But yet we don't take any shots down field... EVER....

This game has forced me to cheer for Santa Clara......

And the Cardinals take the lead.

We are just begging to lose the division and be the #6 seed.

Funny that we have to rely on Jim Harbaugh and the 49er's for some help at this point...

I've only heard it for 1 year, maybe two...

If they find themselves a QB, that will change... The've been competitive all year with their 2nd and 3rd string guys...

They have a phenomenal defense... You will always be in a ball game w/ a great defense...

That "phenomenal" defense just gave up 37 points to the Giants last week. The Rams defense isn't great, it only looks that way when the Seahawks play them.

Defense is playing fantastic, offense (everyone, but the line in particular) needs to step it up. There is no excuse for being shut out by the Rams for an entire half. None.

Minus the turnovers and a bs personal foul we are winning. I think we take over this half,vtheir offense has done nothing

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

We HAVE to win this game... This is the season fella's .... This is the biggest half of football of the season coming up right now... If our offense can't wake up, we don't deserve it... Our offense looks hung over right now... I have no doubt our D will bring it... It's up to the O to get there @#$^@ together...

We have the ability to flick the switch in the second half on offense. Fisher obviously trying to play spoiler.

Hope we get the W by even 1 point and just punch the HFA tix.

The statement is just plain stupid.

Could it be because the Rams our crashing down on RW every play? If you want to go down field you need some time. I think it would be smarter to start hitting some short slants or even some screens( I know we hate those) to slow down the rush, or dump offs to the RBs. Got to slow down the pass rush.

The Cards were trying the same thing last week and we punished them for it with the seam routes to Willson. Did that film get lost during the week?

Doesn't matter that their offense hasn't done anything.

Our best offensive players (Lynch and Wilson) have both turned the ball over which has handed them 6 points.

This performance is a disgrace and if we lose the division because of it, we'll have no shot of making any noise in the playoffs.

How can they review the play when Seattle already clocked it?

AND if they want to stop the play for review, put the time back on the clock! There was 17 seconds left when the play ended, yet they let it go all the way down to 2 seconds and then review after we ran a play? Just horrible job by the refs there. Hawks need to reset and start over in this second half, looked pretty bad in the first half.

It happens... The Hawks had a few stinkers this year as well... I think the Rams are one of the leaders w/ games missed by their starters in defense... They were hit hard on defense the first part of the season...

If there shoving the box though it's one on one somewhere... Take a quick shot down field... Just show them the threat to make um think about it ... Were playing into there hands right now..

Definitely the case... Both screens (1 to Lynch and 1 to Turbin) were both effective plays going for nice gains... Our receivers just aren't getting much separation... Baldwin claims he's open quite often but when you watch the film, you're like, wtf are you talking about? Not sure our guys can beat their defenders on the quick screens but we do have to try a few...

Here we go to a different half.

How so? The Rams gave up 30+ points 6 times this year against some pretty average competition. What you have in Seattle is a stubborn ass at head coach that plays right into the Rams hands and makes them look better than they actually are.

If the WR is covered ( because there hasn't been time to get open) your just throwing it away. Need to simply get a receiver behind the over aggressive pass rush, A RB, TE, slot receiver someone.

Just hold onto the fucking ball Lynch.
