The Seahawks beat the Rams 2 out of 3 games this season and 3 out of the last 5. Why does this thread exist? If Macdaddy doesn’t already own McVag, he’s well on his way.

One missed field goal from a 3-game sweep. The question is how do the RAMS beat the Hawks? The Champs are the team to beat now. They're not afraid of anyone. Not sure what else they need to do to prove that.
I think this. I respect the Rams big time, and yes they racked up yards upon yards in two of the three games, but they need to figure out how to beat us. We threw four picks and came a field goal away. They then gave it all they had and were up 16 in the 4th and we beat them. Then we beat them pretty handily, minus Riqs bone headed plays in the NFCCG when everything was on the line.

Sure they have two first rounders, which is no guarantee. Stafford staying healthy again would be a miracle, 🤮-a is self destructing before our very eyes, we are 100% in Verse’s head, and we are going to get better this off season too. We have good cap space, and we will have another year of Coach Macdonald’s scheme and the team growing together.

McVay is not great under pressure and that’s what our team forces you into. Being constantly under pressure which is why we only lost three games and all were razor close.

I respect the Rams but I wouldn’t be surprised to see the wheels fall off next year and the Niners finish second while we run away with the Division this time. We have dominated the NFC West since we have joined and that looks to continue.

And we just won another SB boyeeeeeeeee!!!! I’m gonna celebrate that for a long long time. Like forever.

Go Hawks!

Never a problem with the refs............until they lose. Funny how it's never the opponent just being better.
At least Shanahan gave the Hawks props the day of the SB. McSpikeyhair is the ultimate excuse maker.

“But, but Darnold has lost every game vs McVay led Rams”. Someone somewhere in mid-December.

No one is "scared" of the Rams, but as it stands, they are the only team that can challenge us.

Every win vs them was by razor margins. Needed Sam to play out of his mind, and special teams blunders by them to tip the scales. If they fix their bad special teams, they could win those games.

Their OL is good enough to neutralize our pass rush. That's the main problem when facing this team.

This coming season is about defending the Title. Right now, they are the only team that stands in the way.

Seahawks are a better team
Seahawks are the SB Champions
The whole "Rams are our kryptonite" narrative is done, over.

"If they fix their bad special teams, they could win those games."

That's my biggest 'worry', special teams improvement, the one place SEA was well ahead of them.

They also need to improve their weak secondary. I heard they will try to sign Jobe or Woolen.

I live in LA, so I see that there is some panic among the Rams about their situation. There's a feeling that McVay has met his match. And there is a lot of concern about the lack of maturity among some of the players.

Jared Verse's comments about how the Rams' players were in shock when the Seahawks didn't fold and his attempts to blame his teammates are getting a lot of attention. I don't think they were covered much in the Seattle press or even the national media, but this is part of what Verse said:

“When we started having trouble, we didn’t know what to do,” Verse said. “Like some of us on the defense, some, you know, I’m going to take full blame, too. Like, there were a couple of times I’m like, but they’re running the other way. Like, I don’t know what to do. I can’t chase. Like I’m not that fast. I can’t chase him on the backside. What do I do? So when we had some troubles, we just kind of like mentally shut down.”

Verse also said that the Rams defense were "shitting the bed" when Shaheed caught the 51-yard pass early in the game. And this is from one of their best players on defense.


And of course, as much as we hate Puka, the Rams fans have been apoplectic about his behavior this season. Kind of like how we felt about some of DK's antics, but much worse. There have been articles like "Rams must embrace maturation process," and "Puka Nacua's immaturity could cost the Rams."



So don't worry, be happy.

McVag's teams will never lead the league in Special Teams. He doesn't have the bandwidth.

The Rams are a very good team, and for the last little while the team has found them tough to beat, until this last season. The year the team should have beaten the Rams 3 times save for Sam's mistakes with the ball in their first game against each other. Since then Sam has been steady the Hawks D tougher than the Rams, and the fortunes have changed The monkey is now off their backs, the Rams are beatable but always a tough out.

In the end that's a good thing as still sharpens steel. The Hawks have now proven they can beat the Rams when the championship is on the line. Of course the Rams won't make easy and neither will the 49ers. I now believe the team can beat the Rams and simply now knows how to and believes they can win. I'm not afraid of the Rams though I respect them.
