So much for the pre-registered excuses. There is no reason why we shouldn't win this game by at least two scores.


IIll take 2 points. Its in the division.
Illness isn't a preregistered excuse. Its a reality. I'm sick as a dog right now. About blacked out shoveling snow for 10 minutes. Sure wouldnt want to play NFL ball. Lucas was sick all last week and played his worst game of the year. Excuse or explanation?
He gave up a huge pressure and sack on our last 2 failed possessions. Huard addressed his illness, said Tackles always want to go but sometimes they shouldn't.
So illness is definitely not a pre registered excuse and when you say sorry my friend just being hard on you then do it again you're not sorry. If you apologize and do it again your not sorry.

I fight for my team. I stand up for them. I've written letters to the league. I dont accept obviously slanted decisions by refs whether call or non calls and I dont blame my team for not "overcoming " them in a field goal league.
I think the league has enough money to have far better officiating and football fields that are so green and healthy you need sunglasses in the stadium. I think the international series sucks when you pick a patsy and kick them off at 6:30 on a terrible field . I think Goodell sucks, not accountable or trustworthy. A sleazy slimeball. When Dan Snyder reportedly has dirt on him that's pretty bad. Id be one booing if I ever went to the draft.
I'm no rube. I'm entitled to my opinions without being sarcastically belittled . Don't poke the bear. Lets talk ball.

My point is that playing sick would likely not have ended well. If they have recovered, there’s no excuse for poor play. It was concern until it wasn’t.

Alright, fair enough. I'll cease if you will. But if you start using excuses to justify another unexpected loss, expect to be poked again. We are much healthier than our opponent this week, the turf is consistent, the weather in a semi domed facility will be perfect, and as far as I know, the refs don't have any underworld connections. There's no reason why we shouldn't beat the 3-8 Rams if we are, indeed, the better team.

On a level field we should win . Agreed .

Let’s see if the refs have a connection or not . We were a bad team last year and probably wouldn’t have mattered but we had a pi slightly less blatant then the famous Saint no call ( Same opponent ) no call .

It was 4th down so it turned over the ball in a 10-7 game . The Rams following drive was extended by a hold call on Ahmadi on a 3rd down incompletion. The foul didn’t exist and I had plenty of corroboration in the media . 2 hard to explain decisions that put a fork in us . Against the chargers at Sofi it was a beautifully called game . If we get the crew from the saints game not sure I’ll watch live .

We have a 2 game losing streak . We’re playing a team of Nfl players including Jalen Ramsey and Bobby Wagner . I see no style points in wins at all . As Holmgren said after a 9-3 win in Hasslebecks first start “ to win in this league is hard “
Indeed
Just get a win .

If you want me to quit poking you, you're going to have to cease with the qualifiers. The game hasn't started and already you're attaching conditions to your prediction, which is what has led me to this 'pre-registered excuse' label that I've given your comments. We should win. Period. End of discussion.

Here's the Rams' injury report ahead of tomorrow's game:

Two key starters have already been ruled out for the Rams this week, but several others are considered questionable to play against the Seahawks. In addition to Aaron Donald and Matthew Stafford being out, Brian Allen, Troy Hill and Ernest Jones are all questionable, according to Sean McVay.

Terrell Lewis, Travin Howard and Lance McCutcheon have also been ruled out and won’t play against Seattle.

Hill is expected to be a game-time decision due to his groin injury, so it’ll be a close call as to whether the Rams will have their No. 2 cornerback. Jones was dealing with back spasms earlier in the week but is “making good progress, so that looks like that could be positive for us,” McVay said.

On a positive front, Ty Nsekhe is expected to be ready to play against the Seahawks. He’s dealing with an ankle injury but should be good to go on Sunday.


And, of course, that doesn't include Cooper Kupp, who was recently put on IR. They have more salary on IR than any other team in the league except Denver.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/on ... r-AA14POEL

Here's our injury report:

The Seattle Seahawks have had several players missing from practice over the course of the week due to an illness that seemed to find its way through the building. The good news is the illness, which Pete Carroll described as a 48-hour flu, does not seem like it will have much of an impact ahead of Sunday’s game against the Rams. The Seahawks released their updated injury report on Friday afternoon.

All but two players were a full participant in practice, with Josh Jones still battling an illness and Travis Homer recovering from an illness while also dealing with a knee injury.

Only Jones, Homer, and safety Ryan Neal are on the injury report at all, with all three listed as questionable. The good news about Neal is that, despite the “questionable” tag, the team expects him to play against the Rams despite getting injured late in last week’s Raiders game. Neal was a full participant in Friday’s practice.

If we lose to a Rams without Donald, Kupp, and Stafford, we should be severely embarrassed and we are clearly not a playoff or contending team. I don't care what the refs do, the Rams are a shell and there is no excuse for losing.

We are without Travis Homer now . Don’t like how beat up Neal is .

You guys watching ball all these years cashing the check before it clears make me laugh . If this season hasn’t shown the crapshoot this league is I don’t know what will . If it’s fairly called and we lose it’s time to think about next year whether we back in somehow this year or not . If we want to contend we must win this game . But teams with no chance are unpredictable . We need to play 60 minutes of championship ball .

Who's cashing the check? All we're doing is what we do each week and what you've engaged in as well, making a prediction.

But you're right about one thing. If we expect to contend, this is a must game. The Rams are by far the weakest team left on our schedule and are playing without their top 3 players (Stafford, Kupp, and Donald) along with several other key players.

I'm saying that we win 27-17.

My prediction is a bigger win than that based on tape . Wofford is better than Petty , more experienced . He ain’t Stafford . Having placed a relatively healthy Stafford on ir it’s pretty clear they are in shutdown mode . But there’s still proud men and a great coach who is 8-3 against Pete Carroll . I always worry no matter who the opponent is . Paper don’t play a down .
Git er done Hawks !

No one in here said that they're not worried. I think all of us realize that this is an "on any given Sunday" league and nothing is a sure thing, especially this season and especially given how we've played these last two games. I'm predicting a 10 point win, but if I were a betting man, there's no way I'm putting any kind of money on that outcome. I am not at all confident in my prediction. All I'm doing is expressing an expectation based on what I can see with my own eyes.

The Rams are in shutdown mode, which may explain why they're holding out Donald and Stafford, who cleared the concussion protocol. There's been rumors flying around that McVay may decide to quit and go into the broadcast business:

That's one of the reasons why I'm saying that all the stars are lining up for a Seahawks victory.

I'm literally not worried at all about this game. I don't see any scenario where we lose other than a complete, pathetic, and embarrassing public soiling of our diaper.

There is no way we lose to the Rams absent Stafford, Donald, and Kupp. If we do, Pete Carroll should publicly apologize to the Seattle fan base.

The Raiders are an underperforming team, but have quality players. You can see how you can lose to the Raiders. Bucs have Brady and are always dangerous to almost any team as well as having a great defense.

Rams have nothing going for them, especially so absent their three top players on both sides of the ball. They at least had a shot with their starters. But this is a wounded team unable to even fight right now.

We should blow them out 34 to 10. Seven of that ten will be some garbage score due to the prevent defense near the end of the game because we know we have this locked up.

I will barely watch this game. It will be total garbage game like watching Mike Tyson in his prime fight a crippled fighter with a broken arm and leg. There is no way whatsoever we lose. Go watch a movie or go out to eat, come back and mark the W down. Riverdog can mow his lawn or shovel snow from his driveway, do his chores, barely pay attention, come back and see a 30 to 10 or so score by the end in a non-competitive game.

If I'm wrong, you can all laugh at me and call me an idiot. I don't care. I'll deserve it for believing the Seahawks can beat a hobbled Rams team missing their top players.

I try to never miss a play . Maybe a few per game . No matter how good or bad it is going . Watch till the end . I like your optimism though. Last week wasn’t a trap game imo . This is . Let’s just see . Good teams avoid traps . Are we good ? Been everywhere from great to horrible this year. Let’s see who shows up . Anytime you are on a losing streak it’s a gut check .

At 20 degrees F, I won't be mowing my lawn. They are forecasting snow, but being that it's a Sunday, the old lady gets the shoveling assignment. :lol:

There's some interesting games this Sunday. The Broncos-Ravens play in the early slot, and the expectation is that the Ravens beat them handily. Let's hope so. Bengals-Chiefs will be another one as both teams are hot. Niners-Fins will be a big one, and they kickoff at the same time we do with the Rams, so I won't be out shoveling snow in the afternoon. Jets-Vikings involve a couple of mystery teams. The Jets seemed to be imploding due to a QB controversy, but the won big last week. And in addition to rooting for the Donkeys to lose, it's time to start keeping an eye on teams with a similar record and hoping that they win, teams like the Bears and Texans.

The SNF (Chargers-Raiders)) and MNF (Cowboys-Colts) games aren't exactly headliners, but Hebert is my fantasy QB and Tony Pollard one of my running backs. I would have thought that they would have flexed Niners-Dolphins into SNF, but I suppose Fox protected it.

The Rams are shutting down Mathew Stafford as they placed him on IR yesterday. They're mailing it in:

Matthew Stafford to IR underscores disaster scenario for Rams, NFL

Once upon a time, the folks in Hollywood loved making disaster movies. Now, the primary local NFL team is starring in one.

Already at 3-8 through 11 games, the Rams are one of the worst defending Super Bowl champions of all time. (Of course, several franchises out there would love to have that title.) And with quarterback Matthew Stafford now on injured reserve, it won’t get any better for the Rams.

This is a huge break for us as we get them twice this month. No more complaining that the football Gods don't ever shine on us.

Homer is a beast on St and has a receiving TD last game . He’s very underrated . Not to suggest it compares to the Hindenburg disaster known as the rams . But it’s not good he’s out .

I don't disagree at all. My response was in what him being out does for our chances of winning today, and it only marginally affects them. I'd rather see him sit out this game and get healthy for our game next week against the Panthers.

We've taken their first half McVay tricksy plays, now second half Seattle going to smoke the Rams after adjustments.

We got the win. Harder than expected, but whatever. We win.

If I had the luxury of 20/20 hindsight, of course, it would have been nice to have had Homer. But knowing what I did at the time I made that statement, I'll stand by what I said.

Barely beating a Rams team missing Donald, Kupp, and Stafford is a clear sign you are not yet a contender.

I do commend Geno for a game winning drive against a weak Rams team. That is what I consider a confidence building start. He's got one under his belt.

Next step to the big leagues: do that in a game with the playoffs on the line or a playoff game against a contending team.

That being said Geno is the least of our concerns. He's doing a great job. He deserves a nice pay increase.

My concern is the RBs now. And the front seven D-line which has been my concern for the past four or five years. I hope they finally get it fixed. Not a few games fixed. Not Taylor and Barton finally did something for a game here or there fixed. But this monster D-line is tearing through O-lines and when the 49ers and Seattle play, no one is scoring much or moving the ball much because their D-lines are too strong meaning our D-line can also play the run and pass with equal dominance.

I want a Bosa, Donald, or Watt. Some crazy dominant D-line guy that elevates everyone around him because opponents have to do so much to stop him. Put Nwosu with a Bosa-type, he will look better too.

We haven't had a truly dominant DL since 'Tez. We've had a number that were very good, Pro Bowl types, but no true game changer, DPOY-type. If one is available in this year's draft, we might have a chance to draft them with the way the Broncos continue to auger in. With their loss today, there's only two other teams with a worse record, the Bears and Texans, and one with the same record, the Rams. The Texans and Rams might be in the market for a QB.

Rams pick goes to Detroit. So they would also need a quarterback. Really need Bears to start winning again.

Ahh, thanks for the correction! I had forgotten about that.

The Bears have a pretty tough schedule as their remaining games include the Eagles, Bills, and Vikings, but they do have one more game with the Lions.

I’m not concerned with winning or not this season (other than the game to game angst) as a whole as I see this year
as a development season. Geno making a comeback win is a good sign but we are hitting some injury troubles.
Why do we have so many problems keeping RBs healthy? It seems every other year we are dipping into 3rd and 4th stringers
or picking players off the street the last part of the season. All of our RBs are hurting in some manner this year, enough
to miss games. I don’t see it happening to this degree or frequency for other teams. It’s almost like Marshawn put a Babe Ruth type of curse on us after leaving.
Here’s to hoping Walkers injury is minor.

Any win is something to brag about . On a 2 game losing streak . One unlucky turnover and another mystifying replay review clearly showing our guy is on the ground with posession but oh well .. Give it to the HOF guy . It worked out .

Wags had a huge impact as I suspected he might . Seattle played most of the game without a healthy running back . Geno was truly magnificent in the stretch . DK finally got the best of Ramsey with Geno feeding him the ball . I guess we check the game winning drive off but it’s the rams so it doesn’t count right ?
Jesus man . Any good news ?
Amazing .

I’m always concerned with winning . Win as you develop and this franchise has been pretty good at it and might be this year . It’s reload year . We need more but we don’t need a qb . Safety , o line and D line . One more stud linebacker to replace Barton

Reported that Geno played the game sick and still set career highs in yardage with 3 TDs . He has now thrown for 2 or more TDs in 6 straight games , the only man in the league to have done so . If we paired this guy with the lob he would never lose .
But it was the dog meat rams so it doesn’t count :lol:

I do commend Geno for a game winning drive against a weak Rams team. That is what I consider a confidence building start. He's got one under his belt.

Next step to the big leagues: do that in a game with the playoffs on the line or a playoff game against a contending team.

That being said Geno is the least of our concerns. He's doing a great job. He deserves a nice pay increase.

Jesus you guys make me laugh “ next step to the big leagues “. Geno is assuredly a big boy in the big league leading the # 4 scoring offense in the league with a so so line and very spotty play from the running game . Yesterday was the 6th consecutive game he’d thrown 2 or more TDs, the only man in the keagur that’s done it this year . We’re 7-5 despite our defense being dreadful in 7 of our games , bad calls or non calls late vs Atl, saints . Tampa , raiders and now a weird one vs the rams . Geno is big time , money .
I see the passing offense as outstanding, run game incomplete , defense bad but not horrible . If we can quit turning it over and give up 20 a game we can get to the tournament .

I'm concerned about the injury to Walker. Those non contact injuries are often the worse injuries. It's his ankle, but how many times do we see players go down with ACL injuries and nobody around them?
I suspect we will get some type of report today after his examinations.

Yup. Flashback to Curt Warner.

He was walking without assistance and was able to put quite a bit of weight on it, so hopefully it's just a bruise. He didn't look right yesterday, appeared like he was grasping at his groin or inner thigh prior to leaving the game with a foot injury.
