Game Thread: Week 5, Seattle Seahawks @ Los Angeles Rams, 10/08/17, 1:05 pm PDT

Quinn redeemed his offsides penalty with that sack.

Seattle is very fortunate!!!

 

[Retroram52]

The TD with Gurley was called a touchback because he fumbled the ball and it touched the pylon as he was going over the goal line. By rule, it is a touchback in that regard.

Thanks Vita. I've been a Ram fan since 1954. I have been in the Coliseum many times in the past 60 years.

That's Retroram & Smed territory, you might just be the Imperial Potentate, so to speak around here....

Apparently he fumbled the ball before he went out of bounds at the two?

My first Ram game was against the 49ers with an attendance of 104,000.

 

[Vitamike]

This game is going to get interesting in the 2nd half.

What more do you want? That was a pretty interesting 1st half!

I guess I know what you are saying, we should be up by at least a score or more, and now Seattle has figured out, to some degree, how to move the chains on Wade's defense.

 

[Vitamike]

I hear ya, it was the right call, but still SUCKS

I guess that's what I'm arguing, I don't know that it was the right call.

It was the right result, but since no fumble was called on the field, Pete should have had to a challenge to get the fumble looked at.

If the Rams get the ball off before he decides to do that, or if he is not sure if he wants to use his challenge or not should all come into play, and it didn't play out like that...

 

[Vitamike]

Goff is starting to 'think'. Uh oh.....

Dude, just play.....

 

[Retroram52]

That pitch to Gurley is taking too long to develop. We need to use that to fake to something else.

 

[Retroram52]

WOODS!! FIRST DOWN!!

I understand the rule, but since no fumble was called on the field, the fumble shouldn't be looked at. They were in review to see if he scored a TD or not and that should be it.

Pete clearly got his two cents in and that shouldn't be allowed. If he wants the fumble to be looked at, he should have to use his challenge since no fumble was called on the field.

I mean that's the purpose of the challenge flag, to get the results right if say, they miss a called fumble on the play like they did.

Correct?

 

[Vitamike]

Look at Goff using the TA high step LOL!

BTW, Adam Archeleta is the CBS analyst commentator today.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Hanging with my dad today.....

Gotta be proud of these Rams......even if they don't win, 2nd place and a possible WC is certainly possible.

 

[Retroram52]

We are faltering again.

Well I'm not sure of all the goofy rules anymore, evidently on a scoring play they can look at other things too? I don't know??

 

[DJ Fieri]

I've said this before, what a difference coaching makes.....the game had clearly passed Old Man Fisher by.

 

[Retroram52]

First down on the Goff 22-yard scamper.

 

[Retroram52]

WTH was that?
