Seahawks all the way against a tough and talented Rams team. A worthy battle. The Seattle D and Special Teams are playing lights out football. The Offense is clicking. Home game and the Twelves going off. Avoid mistakes & turnovers and Seattle wins the NFC. I agree with Richard Sherman on the score 27 – 17. Totally agree with Run the Darn Ball. So many good things come from that. Walker could potentially be the SB MVP.
Richard Sherman Seahawk for life !!! 🔥🤝
If Seahawks EDGE RUSH from 9 tech, and switch to VISION CB Zone tech – Like Sherm Played, Seahawks win, Stafford won't run TWICE, and will start dirting the ball, (Its what stopped Purdy and 80% of 9ers playbook LAST WEEK)
IF Seahawks start running DE Twists, (that I have yet to see work) or DRIVE BLOCK RUSH from a 5 Tech, the BOOTLEG, and 3 other hydras open up, and the BLIND DB (let him catch then play the hands) tech will set up the game losing FG. #Quicksilvercoach #WelliWager Also someone should have checked PFF vs PRESSURE, where GENO was the upgrade over Darnold. #BlackQBDefFund He's like a car with no LUGNUTZ, looks great on the showroom floor, and at PARADE speed,
step on the gas tho…
Funny how the world said Denver couldn't win with Bo Nix, and now they saying they cant win without him 🙄
It's crazy how far Richard Sherman has come working in the media. From this podcast to Thursday Night Football (Which I think is the best). He's really become one of the best sports commentators.
I hope you Hawks are overconfident, I hope everyone’s looking past the Rams……. Let’s go Rams🏈🏈
Hey Richard. As a Pats fan, I loved watching you play, and your daily effort. I just regret you were never in a patriot uniform. keep up the great work, I am now subscribed.
Keep sleeping on the rams!
Pats winning it all
Sherman should be perfect dc for SF
I've been saying that this would be the NFC championship game since week five. It was OBVIOUS these were the two best teams in football and there was a big drop-off after them.
Whoever wins will cake walk the Superbowl.
I'm leaning Seattle not just because I'm a lifeline fan, but because the Rams have been on the road for over a month now, and they haven't looked quite the same as they did earlier, before Seattle played them last time.
Two quick predictions: 1. Sam Darnold will shut all the haters up once and for all. He will FINALLY figure out how to exploit that weakness of a Rams secondary, and will have a game.
2. George Holani will spell K9 and break off at least two MONSTER runs no one saw coming.
I absolutely LOVED Holani earlier this year before the injury, and thought he could eventually replace K9.
Now with the injury to Charbonnet that calculus may change a bit, we may have to resign K9 (which I am overjoyed about! K9 is a star!) but Holani is going to be a legit #1 RB at some point.
Dude can run.
One last thing, I didn't understand why teams have worried so much about covering deep against the Rams, instead they ought to play a bit more man, and take away the short to intermediate MIDDLE of the field.
Neither Puka or Adams are fast, cover them accordingly!
There is no defense for the perfect pass
Bring back Pete to raise the flag –> Win by 40.
800 yds? Doesn't sound like much of a defense when Carolina and bears held rams better than that. Nfc overrated
As a niners fan go Rams and go Broncos. Seahawks and Pats is the last 2 teams I want to see win the SB.
GO 'Hawks !! Weu Weu!
If "things had gone different" the SB would be the Raiders vs the Cardinals
I love you guys talking about how the Seahawks should run the ball in the Super Bowl. I hope the whole team is doing the same. Look past the Rams on Sunday…
8:57 if Vikings coach runs the ball more they might of beat rhe rams last year but he’s too pass happy
You guys will find out that big dog resides in New England. Neither the Rams or Seahawks can beat the Patriots.
The patriots are really good, but you're not paying attention to your franchise history. New England gets killed in Denver. And the Denver quarterback will perform because he's not gonna be asked to work miracles.
Sherm I been where the Nike Sherman Lunar for every game the last 12 years! I can’t find a decent sz 10-10.5!!!
Great, stafford will be the difference 🦾🐏
Look who's back tell a friend Rams are back Hawks season ends……… They have been SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE since Bears game h.
When we have our center , which is a rookie, don't forget watching the other offensive line.And then telling our defensive players where to shift and take advantage of their center is going on?nThat means I feel we have a future hall of fame center on our team right now
Hell yeah, fixing my mommas house for her after 3 year in an rv. My wife, daughter and I are finally moving into the house. So we should be in before the end of January.
I’m excited yet scared for his matchup haven’t felt like this since 2015😂😂
