  3. The Seahawks are playing like a talented up and coming fighter figuring out how good they can be in each new match and the Rams are playing like an old legend hanging on for dear life trying to go out on top. If Seattle plays their best ball I don't think anyone beats them.

  4. That rams secondary is not like it was earlier in the year and the Seahawks defense has been playing better than they've played in over a decade

  5. This Rams team is not the same team. They've lost a step struggling against a mediocre Bears defense in that last game. And the Bears ran on them. Seattle is running very, very well right now. Walker being the key. The Rams have not ran big plays against Seattle. They just are not the same team. The last third of the season they lost to Carolina and then Atlanta. During this time Seattle has gone up a few levels. Any team in the league should not be able to shut down an offense like the 49ers. That's just a fact. They beat a very good and highly ranked Eagle's defense. And Seattle shut them down.

  7. Seahawks/Rams in the NFC Championship will be an epic battle. It's worthy of giving absolutely everything. I'm a Seahawks fan and I hope they win. No one can tell you how it will be and only a fool would bet on this game. Go Seahawks!!

  8. I love your content, I watch you guys all the time, but PLEASE PLEASE stop saying De-VON Witherspoon. I live here in Seattle and the team and all the media correctly pronounce it Dev-un. Every time people hear you guys say that, it distracts them from what you are saying.

  9. The last two times these teams have played, the games have been epic.
    This time I think it may be more of a lopsided affair.
    While the Rams have the better QB and have elite receivers, the Seahawks have the better overall team, better defense, and MUCH better special teams.
    Last time they played, the Seahawks defense was out of sorts until the third quarter, them suddenly they seemed to wake up and make several big stops. The offensive line too had a bad day, in fact Gray Zabel had his worst game as a rookie. I suspect with the way the defense and they way that Zabel is playing right now, the Rams are in for a rough game

    I've been telling everyone who would listen that these two teams would be in the NFC Championship game since about week five, but for most of the season, I've been thinking that it would be in LA, and the Rams were the better team… Something has changed though. The Seahawks defense is just different, better, more confident. The Seahawks aren't just running to keep defenses honest anymore like they were at the beginning of the season when teams were dating them to beat them with Darnold's arm. Now they're trying to take away NJigba, bracketing him every chance they can, and (at least partly) as a result, the run game has come alive. Now the offense is truly balanced, we can throw it, and beat you with Njigba, Kupp and Barner, AND worse, we can run it down the defender's throats and they cannot do anything to stop it.
    Meanwhile the Rams, especially their defense, just aren't quite the same juggernaut they looked like earlier in the season.
    I'm not entirely sure why, but something is off.
    That's NOT to say they can't beat the Seahawks, I know fill well they can and might.
    This is the team I've been the most worried about all year, and that hasn't changed.
    But what has changed is, I am not AS worried as I was. I'm actually fairly confident the Seahawks will win.

  10. Seahawks defense is going to show up big time for this matchup. McDonald admitted he tried to add a couple new wrinkles to the defense last time with no full speed practices and it led to communication breakdowns that rarley happen to a Seattle defense. Stafford and Puka isn't putting up close to the numbers they did last time. Seattle will shut down the run, McVay is going to go for a lot of 4th and shorts. That will decide the game. Seattle d will get enough stops on 4th / turnovers and win handily. Rams won't be able to stop K walker and JSN will finally break out in the postseason for a big game (100 yards 2 TD's) Seahawks 31-17

  11. Ken Walker is thr x factor. With no charbonet he has to be excellent. He is boom or bust and there is no in-between. When he is bad it is really bad. If he has a bad day at the office it will be tough cuz normally we could count on one of the two being adequate. (Since they were split essentially 50/50 during the season) And charbs is our best pass protector.

    That being said if both teams play their A game Seattle wins. 27-17. If Seattle struggles (either Sam has more than 1 TO or K9 decides to have an off day) it is going to be tough. Unless Stafford has himself an off day.

    The underrated element? Playing 3 road games in a row, with the amount of focus needed for the playoffs, when you have to travel as far as LA is REALLY tough. You just don't have the energy. That matters.

    I think it's a huge ask from the Rams. They have to play excellent AND hope Seattle falters a little bit.

    27-17 hawks. Leave no doubt.

  12. Most analysts : “These are two great teams, I could really see either team winning. I’ll give the slight edge to Seattle.”

    Seahawks fans : “Are you kidding me??? We’re winning by 30+, this is so disrespectful”

  16. Just call it what it is, it’s the clash of the titans in Seattle folks. These teams are so much alike it’s no secret why they’re playing to represent the NFC this year. My money is on the Rams, I think Staffords swan song is this season

  25. Genuinely not worried about this game man lol like at all. It was always Seattles fate to lose to us here on this stage you can’t change destiny man. Rams win🤘 see you all Sunday

  27. Seahawks beating the Rams 2 times in 1 season would be a miracle more of a miracle than the pt conversion and man down field call in the last game. As longvas the refs don't get involved the Rams win 31-23

  29. The Seahawks have multiple avenues to victory, while I think the Rams most realistic hope is those simulated pressures. I could see them match 12 with that 5-2 front, then Sam checks to a quick WR slant or hitch to Barner, and the Rams drop a DL that he throws it right to.

    But that's really it.

  31. Hawks are ranked 2 in Special Teams, Rams rank 25th and barely squeaked by their last two wins. They already peaked weeks ago. Seattle is going to the SB.
