Game Thread: Week 21, NFC Conference Championship Weekend, The Los Angeles Rams @ The Seattle Seahawks, Lumen Field, Seattle, WA, Sunday 01/25/2026, 3:30 PM PST

Clearly? Hardly @jvett77

The Seahawks are a freak play away from winning just 1 out of 3!

And that one Rams loss was not quite the laydown Seattle had the week prior.

Just a few plays in all three games combined and either of these teams could be 3-0 against the other, and likely either team was only a play away against the other from either playing in, or sitting out the SB, if you were honest.

Correction: 2-3 freak plays from going 0-3. Muffed punt this weekend, punt return TD and 2 pt conversion debacle in December.

You could nit-pick further and question whether Kupp's first down catch was even a catch (jarred loose reaching for the line to gain when he hit the ground), let alone short. Was going to the ground still part of completing that catch?

Seatle will destroy NE hopefully.

LOL. Destroy and hopefully kind of cancel each other out...

Likely just a syntax error.

Guessing it was meant more like.... 'Hopefully, Seattle will destroy NE!'

We get ya @Jermaine133, just struck me funny!

And I hope them Hags do!

BTW - Lol'd pretty hard at Bellicheat this week getting 'cheated'!

TY HOF voters for helping us Rams fans with the NFL this week. It was kinda sucking a lot until this bit of news hit the media outlets!

 

[Jermaine133]

lol should have used AI to type it and correct it.

...as if it's such a crime that he doesn't get in first ballot. He's still going to get in.

 

[Jermaine133]

it was bullshit voting... like it or not he is a 1st ballad HOF coach. The hall should be about stats and those factors only, if people want to talk about the two instances yeah ok i get it. Take away those two and you still got 4 or 5 SBs.. lets stop the BS.

He's still active, just not in the NFL. There's no rush. If anyone would have him, he'd still be active IN the NFL.

He was a nuttin burger BTB & nuttin burger ATB, so them SBs rings could be by proxy just like any other person who fetched a few rings during the Brady years.

Are they all first ballot HOFers?

TBH - I could care less if he got in on the first ballot, but that he didn't, I just wish I had enough cheese to go with all the wine!

Seattle clearly the better team, winning despite receiving the near fatal taunting penalty in the 3rd quarter on a Rams 4th and 12, allowing Stafford to throw a TD on the first down bringing Rams to within 24-20.

I wouldn't say they were clearly the better team? The muffed punt was the difference in the game, without that I think Rams win. It took a career game from Darnold and that muff to beat the Rams.

I don't know what the hell you just said but feelings don't change facts.... he should be a 1st ballot but those voters are stupid. Hopefully AI replaces them soon.

they clearly had the better defense and were a more complete team. The last 1/2 of the season we had a pass rush and that was about it.

Well a lot of you were bitching about our DB's and giving up a lot of yards to JSN. Seattle gave up more yards and they couldnt shut Puka down??????? So theres that???? Plus the fact they didnt shut the running game down either? The difference was the not so special teams, just like the regular season game against Seattle!!!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Special teams and a Defense that couldn't stop much.

I believe their secondary was more consistent overall. Each week, we had rotating starters at corner. Each week in the playoff our secondary was having a meltdown.

 

[Retroram52]

I screamed for the Rams to take Emmanori in the Draft. The Seahags took him and he is/was a tremendous Safety all year long and especially against the Rams in the last two Games we played Seattle.

 

[Vitamike]

Nuttin burger = Nothing special
BTB = Before Tom Brady
ATB - After Tom Brady

Hopefully, you understood the blue font sarcasm sentence.

Ya know Jermaine, the dude not only got to ride Brady's coattails to all them SBs, he also cheated his way through the league, one scandal type after another. He bent every rule there was up to pushing the rules beyond their limits knowing the League wasn't willing to throw a bunch of flags in Super Bowls or expose in full the lengths this coach took to cheat his way to wins, and he took full advantage of it every step of the way.

Sure, some say that aspect is taking what the League/Refs are giving you or calling it, but to this football fan it's a huge step towards the dark side of the game & gambling. If you are truly the first ballot HOF coach you think you ought to be, then just line 'em up, and play the game the way it was intended to be played. Then and only then will you gain the respect of all true football fans who enjoy the game.

So, with that in mind, I get a crooked smile, that Coach Belicheat got cheated on the first ballot. He will get in, but as they say, what goes around comes around. So he got his.

Rams were the only team to give the Seahawks a game in the playoffs this year.

Same story with Philly last year


Really fuggin sucks

Yeah, overall that Seahawk defense didn't affect the Rams' offense the way it affected other team's offenses.

Literally have 2 teams in the Super Bowl with great defenses and great RBs and a game manager at QB

Showed too. No TDs for awhile

The 'Snoozer Bowl' had much to be desired for the offensive minded fan!

It would have been an offensive game if the Rams played the Pats instead.

No. This Pats team was garbage.

Their SOS was garbage and they beat a backup QB to get here. We would have rolled them too.
