How do we beat the Rams?

[LTH]

I'm calling it right now, not only will the rams drop 50 points, but they are going to run all over this D. Norton is so bad he will be preparing the D (Yeah Right) to stop the pass and the rams know this and will run the ball down our throats. Good ole Petey boy will say after the game we didn't except them to completely abandon the pass game.

Love it! Ill make an appt with my therapist now then... :sarcasm_on:


LTH

Unless the Hawks D steps up big , Wilson's offense need to score 35 + pts to win .IMO

You think the Rams are that much better than the seahawks?

If I'm being objective...I think so. The Hawks are a top offense (top 3 perhaps?) but a HISTORICALLY BAD defense. Then you have the Rams who are I think at this time a top 6 offense? and top 3 defense. Combine that with what is the major strength for the Rams defense....Aaron Freaking Donald vs what has caused the offense for the Hawks to stall and make mistakes (pressure on RW). Then you take the Rams offense with McVay, Kupp and Goff (who is an above average QB) vs this pitiful defense against the pass. Yeah this is not a game that the Hawks should be favored. Because 1) there's nothing about the defense that says they're gonna suddenly hold their opponents to 14-20 points and the Rams defensive juggernaut who is Aaron Donald wrecks any team and QB he plays against.


I am predicting a Seahawks loss and a come to Jesus moment for this team after losing 2 in a row to make or break the remainder of the season.

You think their D is that good?

They beat up on the hapless Giants and Eagles. Got rolled by the Bills and Dolphins, and somehow managed to lose to the 9ers.

I get the Rams are a tough opponent. People on here acting like the 86 Bears are around the corner..and we are the 86 Hawks.

If pressuring Goff into a mistake is the formula we’re sunk.

“But Garoppolo!”

Yeah, then mullens entered and didn’t fall apart at a blitz and destroyed us for 250 and 2 TDs.

We get pressure when we blitz but when we don’t get home even average NFL QBs torch us. When we don’t blitz, our corners play 10 yards off because Pete doesn’t trust them not to get beat deep and we give up 15 yards a pop.

And the rams are very good at PA freezing our slow, old LBs leaving intermediate routes even more wide open than the wide open we’ve been suffering all year.

We can win if Wilson plays with his hair on fire, pretty much like all year, and as bmore says our D manages that one single play late in the game.

The rams are tailor made to whip our D and and this year everyone else has whipped our D too. We need 45 points to be in this one.

The Seahawks have found a way to bounce back from losses and bad games. I think they will find a way this week too.

I'm just going to ask this open-ended question and hope for some answers, because I don't have any.

On the bright side, one of their best players won't see the field on Sunday (Johnny Hekker).

Pressure Goff.

That's it. That's the post. Rattle Goff and execute somewhat competently on offense.

Simple protect Wilson and have a real game plan beyond throw long all the time.
