Did I miss the "official Seahawks thread" ? I can't believe nobody has started one yet
Didn't they win one last year? Oh wait....How many playoff games have the rams won in the last 10 years? Zero? Don't tell me Goff won't choke like he did in round one last season.
I hope the Hawks play them again in the post season.
Typical Jeff Fischer attitude. Focus should be on upcoming games and the playoffs and all he can think about is past wins over the hawks. 0-1 coming again.View attachment 183679
A summary of the past several RAM wins over your hawks. See you in the playoffs... LOL!
Seahawks could easily be 7-3/8-2, the Rams 7-3 (I know, I know, and all the other variables of 0-10 to 10-0)
The problem isn't just the players that left, its also the players that stayed. After tasting a little success many wanted their payday and a few became malcontents. The Seahawks complied and kept the core together at some cost to the rest of the roster. The core got older and the foundation crumbled.And why is it that so many good players leave Seattle and go elsewhere to play? Even after their Superbowl years when it looked like they could be a powerhouse for awhile star players left. What is it that drives them away? The coaching? The traffic? The gloom of winter? The long road trips? Cultural shortcomings? Rain? When a player leaves to go play in a Rust Belt city you have to wonder what the hell is going on.
You can't win the game in the first quarter, but you can lose it.I seriously doubt any decent coach ever has coached a football game like the 1st quarter doesn't matter
Maybe you should be a coach. Call up the front office.blah blah blah
Nice synopsis Charles. Sad...a little... That our best offensive player is our punter! Dime keeps proving he's an idiot...did he move from St.Louis to LA to follow his mancrush?If I were a Fighting Chickenhawk fan I would be very pleased with the season thus far. The team has shown a lot of promise. The defense has been much better than one would expect given their relative age and loss of Thomas. Clark is one hell of a player. The DB's are good.That defense shut down the Packers last night in the second half.
Offensively, they really have run it well. Carroll is smart to devote resources to the run game. Everyone is passing in the league. Because of that rosters are made up of smaller LB's and less run stuffing type linemen. The power football idea is really smart.
Wilson has played pretty much like he always has. He makes big plays. He is super frustrating because he holds it so long but as long as the defense plays well and they run it this well you maximize his strengths and minimize his weaknesses. Drafting that punter also mitigates Wilson's weekly 1st half 3 and out show to some extent because he changes field position by himself. The defense keeps it close and they make some plays in the 2nd half.
They were an old team a year ago. They are a young team now. They will likely be a better team at the end of this year than they were at the end of last year. They will need to replace an LB and a WR in the draft soon.
Overall, Pete has done a great job of turning the page on the legion of boom defense and Marshawn based offense. They are a good draft away from being a contender. Plus they should have some money since they should not be paying all the legion of Boom guys. They can resign the players that make sense and maybe even get a player in free agency.
The key to staying good is to embrace and manage turnover. Pete has done a great job of that this year.
Go Sox,
