4 picks from Darnold? Missed FG in the end to win?
And you all wonder why I don't want to watch these games in real time.

It was still an exciting game. The negative Nancy's ruin everything. I had fun watching and was not as doomed as everyone else.
Played one of the best teams in the league to the very end and barely lost despite throwing 4 picks.
Darnold won't always throw 4 picks.

What was fun/interesting to watch was no matter what Sam did wrong, no matter how many times we couldn't capitalize on offense, no matter how bad you felt about what was going on...they COULD NOT pull away from us. We were STILL in it till the very last second. Almost mind-bogglingly so.

The INTs made it tough to watch, but it was still an entertaining game and I still see a ton of room for improvement. We haven't peaked yet and I wonder if the Rams have.

I have to say, that effing punt might have been the play of the game. It took a strange bounce and went out of bounds literally inches from the goal line. That punt goes into the endzone, we likely win the game.

It was ugly but…I echo those of others. 4 INTs and still had a chance to win?
There is definitely some type of mental block going on with Sam and ‘big’ games. He did some weird things…throwing off his back foot, throwing into double coverage. Sometimes you have to call the baby ugly.
But, I trust MM, the team, and who ever else to help him clear that hurdle.
Season wise…still impressed by GingerGawd. Today’s outing had me feeling like I did when we lost Geno and picked Darnold up. Highly skeptical.
Faith and logic lead me to believe otherwise..we’ll bounce back.

I was listening to some bigger NFL writer/analyst who was talking about the need for teams to take more seriously the use of their psychologists to help certain players who have a harder time playing in bigger moments to develop the skills to better meet such moments. It was kind of interesting.

How do you have that much self control, to not watch? I applaud you because it's killing me watching the games but I can stop. I have been a Seahawks addict since around 79' or 80'. I'm sure being a Hawks fan will take 12 years off my life. You give 12 and they take it back.
Yeah, that extra 20 yards would have made things a lot easier, to be sure.

Too true. We’ve seen what he can do.
WHY was this game different?
If someone would’ve told me he was throwing 4 picks today, I would’ve called them crazy.
Something is up…

How was this an exciting game? Neither team could move the ball, Darnold threw one stupid pick after another, clock management was a joke, and the refs were abysmal. The Rams survived more than they won. It wasn't particularly enjoyable to watch on any level.

I don't know about exciting, but that's not a bad analogy in regards to the level of pain I felt as a viewer.

You are looking at this game wrong. We had 4 interceptions and a chance to win at the end. It was a tough loss but there was also a lot of good defense the last 3 quarters.

What can they do better?
Legit question…no sarcasm whatsoever.
They look pretty damn good to me.

Hawks have a very good TEAM. the QB is a part of that, not the anchor of it.

By pick 3 I FULLY understood. By then I was too invested to turn it off, tho.

My funny response: have you not seen our KICKING game? (Our new thicker kicker has made his PATs, but Rams have not attempted a FG in the two games we’ve had him. Karty was missing PATs and FGs and getting kicks blocked before him).
Serious response: It’s been fun to watch this season develop and each week seems to have new things. Specifically, McVay seems to be developing new Offensive schemes and trying them out differently (especially with the multiple TEs). Feels like he is in the middle of his process this season, not the end.
ETA: remember Jordan Reed? McVay was his TE coach and hasn’t had the TE ability to play around with on the Rams until now. I think he’s just beginning on this.
