Football Clarification

[LeveeBreak]

Not to be preachy...comments are intented for those implying "lambs are better than us" or "we didn't deserve to win".

There are no style points in football. Winning is the only thing that matters in the end. You don't get extra credit for making it look pretty, especially in the NFL where victory is the only stat that matters. It's about the final score, not the flashiness.

If you can't align to that, maybe football isn't the sport for you, 'cuz that's the way it's always been and ain't gonna change. Maybe switch to gymnastics or artistic swimming...those are based on form, design, and visually pleasing performances.

Excellent production from K9. 2 explosive plays that were major contributions.
Incredible sideline grabs from JSN & Kupp.
Found a groove in the 4th, moving the ball effectively down the field.
The hawks stopped the rams 3/6 red zone trips from getting into the end zone.
The OL got stout when it matterd.
Various other story lines that state the same thing...we kept the game close enough to win, played hard through all 4 qts, and legitemately won it at the end.

The hawks made the plays to keep the score close enough to win in the end. That is a trait of a good team. We deserve to be the 1st seed b/c our record dictates it.

Had to get that off my chest...that is all.

Also, the Rams earned those 3 turnovers, but they significantly benefitted the Rams offense, and the scoring.
1. The INT returned to our 1 yard line was a huge point swing.
2. The Kupp fumble (caused by a great helmet tackle by Curl) likely prevented 7 points by the Seahawks.
3. The INT by the Rams DLine (great call by the Rams DC), likely prevented 7 points.

That's a 21 point difference. The only reason I point this out is that there is a narrative that the Rams offense was eating us alive. But credit to their defense that made a likely 21 point difference.

I mean, I was reliably told that whoever tweets more is awarded the win by the officials

100%...the list goes on about how the game circumstances flipped this way and that. The rams stats were better on some areas...I do not give a ****.

38-37...the only stat that matters.

The one interception looked like a spy was in the mix and just stepped out in front of our receiver. I have to think that was one of their plans. It would make Darnold look like he is a failure, but he is doing a great job.
