I hate the Rams, but...

... those MFers have my respect. They are always a TOUGH OUT! No opponent causes me more stress leading up to the game. They are a great team. Great players and well coached. But we finally caught them. Congrats on a great season, Rams. Hawks, let's go finish this thing off!!!!!!!!!!!!

There isn't a team that gets more out of the pieces they have. Their coaches are outstanding. They have talent in key spots to rival anyone. McVay is a genius.

I love going against them because you get the sense it's 1s v 1s, 1000% effort for the duration of the game. All stops pulled. All focus.

All fireworks.

It's like watching Holyfield v Tyson ... Without the ear bite.

Only because of the helmets.

Yeah, the Rams deserve respect, McVay and Stafford have that team playing consistently great and they're hard as hell to beat. That being said, enjoy watching one division rival host another division rival in the Super Bowl in two weeks, Rams fans!

Considering our two Super Bowl losses to New England, I can't imagine I'll be watching this one, though I am wholly incapable of rooting for a division rival in the Super Bowl, so maybe I'll tough it out and root for the Patriots.

Could barely even bring myself to this site. I avoided it up to game week. This loss hit me tougher than any in a while, possibly harder than the Super Bowl losses. I am so used to McVay having success against Seattle with Stafford at QB, I am still in a bit of shock....really at the last two losses. If you told me Stafford would have 800 yards and 6 TDs in two games at Seattle, with no turnovers, I'd have bet everything I had that we won both and knocked Seattle out of the playoffs. What a team you guys have to overcome that. Incredible.

What a game. Lived up to the hype, and both Stafford and Darnold were legendary.

Half our secondary is going to get nuked and then rebuilt. These were the two best teams in the NFL this year, and most likely will be next year too. I can't imagine Stafford hangs it up with the cap space and draft picks we have (and most key players already under contract).

No doubt. Both QBs were nails.

He's a Rams fan.

Yeah, I deleted it.

Kudos for manning up and coming back in here, obviously we Seahawks fans have been in your shoes like this before, so we can empathize. We also obviously could not possibly be more thrilled with our new head coach Mike Macdonald, what an absolute beast. The NFC West probably has three of the four best head coaches in the entire NFL, which is an absolutely insane thing to think about. Andy Reid deserves to be in the top three somewhere, otherwise we would have THE top three objectively, haha.

What a slate of three games this year, though - my God. The three times we played each other comprise some of the greatest competition on the field the NFL can possibly ever have, just absolutely nuts; they redefine the word "close".

They are good, we are good, we were better this time. This season we were the best in the NFL. NFCWEST won. Next season, we will see.

We have to improve. Cause the Rama will. Of course we can. Our rebuild just started.

We were 9-0 in our last 9 games, and they were 5-4. But yeah, they're tough.

We ran the gauntlet to get where we are. The playoffs were INCREDIBLE, but I can't wait to relax in front of a television for a game.
