  1. Niners; Won the first, lost the second, got blown out the third
    Rams; Won the first, lost the second, about to get blown out this weekend…
    LETS GO HAWKS!!!!

  2. Itโ€™s kind of crazy the Rams scored one more point in their two games and gained one more yard in their two games. Seems like theyโ€™re evenly matched, but I do think Seattleโ€™s defense has risen to another level of the last couple of games.

  3. The pundits talk about quarterbacks. PFF talks about complimentary football. No matter how hard that TC pundits attempt to convince you, this is not Stafford verse Darnold. This is Seattle verse Los Angelos. At home. With the crowd.

  4. I rewatched the week 16 Rams game today, and Seattle had blown coverages down field for explosives. Mike Macdonald said he didn't call a good game. few banged up players came back that game and was not 100%. Different game plan this go around.

  5. Last Rams/Seahawks was a Thursday Night game, short week, one of two defensive letdown games for Seattle. Look at stats for game one against Rams. Seattle dominated Stafford and Rams offense, 4 Darnold interceptions were why Seattle lost, and Seattle still had a missed field goal at the end that would have won itโ€ฆ

  6. Last Rams game that Seattle played, coach Mike MacDonald had JUST implemented new wrinkles to his defensive scheme, and was recently quoted as saying that he thought that added a bit too much, too soon for the defense, and that's what he points to when questioned about Stafford throwing for 457. Looks to me like Seattle had figured it out in the last month ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘€

  7. First Rams game, Earnest Jones just got back from injuries and Rams ran well. Darnold got picked. Adams dropped some balls. Love was out. When Seahawks start to stop the run, Stafford got pressured and start to throw bad balls.

    Second Rams game, Seahawks defense was mostly healthy but during the game Bryant, Emmanworri and Woolen were out. Rams was running the ball for first half, but was stopped in second half. Seahawks changed the pressure from blitz to only front 4 and it worked better. Stafford was playing good most of the game with most play action call in a game whole season. Nacua was great but some critical drops by tight ends.

    Championship game. Seahawks defense mostly healthy. If they stop the run, will pressure Stafford like first game 3/4 of the game or 1/2 of second game. Rams offense mostly health and will give short pass, sweep pass, screen to TE, play action and deep pass with play action. And this time Adams is playing.

    Rams is better team by numbers, players and maybe scheme, but Seahawks is playing much better, healthy, Rams defense can't stop running game (against Falcons, Panthers and Bears) Seahawks will win this game.

    Go Hawks!

  8. Much more realistic grades this week. My grade for PFF… satisfactory. There's room for improvement. Though the highest graded guy on the 9ers being a guy who gave up a fumble is….interesting.

  9. I respect stafford and the rams, but I think my Seahawks learned from their mistakes from week 16. Seahawks defense will simply be too overwhelming for them to handle this time around

  10. Twas fun watching Brock Pretty get destroyed on the first pass of the game then run for his life the rest of it. This game reminded me a lot of that Broncos/Seahawks superbowl where Percy Harvin ran one back for a TD, Manning getting crushed by the Legion of Boom and then playing like he was terrified the rest of the game.

  11. Statistically, it's better DVOA than even the LOB. It's insane. That's all to say none of those matters. This is obviously the way it was always going to go down this year, clearly the two best teams in the NFC, if not the NFL. Both games came down to the end, in the first Seattle was dominating and the Rams pulled it out and in the second it was the opposite. We have the home field advantage, we will see how much that counts and this is also Sam's opportunity to revenge his playoff game from last year. Two mastermind coaches, two great rosters, 60 minutes of epic football awaits. One thing Rams and Seahawks can agree on, F the 49ers, Go Hawks!

  12. If the Seahawks establish the run and get pressure on Stafford, it's all over for the Rams. If Stafford is given time, or if the Seahawks make multiple turnovers, it will be another close game.

  13. Itโ€™s so funny how the 49ers offense is so crippled by injuries to Fred Warner and Bosa ๐Ÿ˜‚. Kittle hurts them but has anyone noticed that Arroyo, our 4.4 freak TE that is key to our preferred offensive scheme like Emmanwori is to our D, is also injured and absent? But we arenโ€™t sucking without him, so we arenโ€™t making excuses about injuries like cough cough some teams have convinced everyone about their shortcomings.

  14. Kupp will finally get revenge… 2 TD's and 121 yds receiving… bout 8 receptions. 4 Passing TD's for Darnold…. other 2 will be JSN and AJ Barner.
    7 Sacks for the Darkside. Stafford will retreat to the injury tent.

  15. That defense is something special to watch, but I wished they would give the Seattle special teams their flowers as well. Highest scoring team on punt returns and kick returns this season, most yards per kickoff return of all 14 teams in the playoffs, 3rd most return yards on punts all season. Jason Myers still 100% on extra points made this season, even though his field goal average has dipped from the previous season to 85%. The way they've been playing even before they added Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline has been impressive, switching up field position for Darnold and the offense or outright running by everyone on the way to the endzone. First play of the game goes for a 95 yard TD before some fans had even made it to their seats!

    The Seahawks are a complete team and have been rounding into form for the January home stretch. They were on a 7 game heater to close out the regular season, beating 2 division rivals and winning all their road games on the way to the number one seed, and yet analysts are still fence-sitting on them because they bucked the preseason predictions and Vegas betting odds to even make it to the playoffs. A 7-10 season record and the bottom rank in the NFC West? What indication did these professionals have that they would underperform after Coach MacDonald's first season? Everyone was really high on Sam Darnold when he was in Minnesota, why would he be worse here under the offensive schemes of Klint Kubiak? Finally people are starting to see the same potential that Seattle fans did. There's still some kinks to be worked out for sure, but this team is good enough and cohesive as a unit to win Super Bowl titles.
