TNF: Cardinals at Rams

[Hasselbeck]

Shaun Hill is truly awful

Rams WR's are open and he's flat missing them

I respect your opinion ..but unless that player was Fitzpatrick, he likely wasn't a dues paying member of Mensa.
I think what happens Is the refs get caught up in the mayhem of it all. Especially favoring the home team with 75,000 fans in their (aging) ears. I'd bet every thing I own games are not fixed. Though it wouldn't surprise me if the occasional player (see Winston) mucked with the score a bit. There's just too many people involved (in football) to fix the outcome of a game with absolute certainty. Not talking to you directly, Pe, just sayin'.

I didn't see the TE int you reference....and glad I missed it. I was pissed enough with the fumble (that was or wasn't).

Totally agree there's too many people involved. But, it's silly to think the NFL doesn't steer some outcomes. Pick any year of the past few and see which teams play teams coming off of a bye, and who doesn't. Patriots, Bronco's, Cowboys...they'll hardly ever face a team fresh off the bye. They wont face teams with 10+ days to prepare. But the Bills get that about 6 times a year, as does TB, and other non glory teams. That's not a coincidence. And, it certainly aint random.

Hell, Roger admitted he favors east coast teams by saying it's too hard for them to go west more than once, but he has zero problem sending a west team east. I mean, that's blatant.

They never fix it with a certainty, no, but they for sure steer it. Someone did an outstanding Freakonomics breakdown of all of it.

Really feel like the Lambs are getting this done. The Cards are so friggin lucky tho.....

 

[hawksfansinceday1]

That's a sack and the clock should start running.

 

[gargantual]

Rams been converting a lot on 3rds...and a lot of longs too. Keep it up, oh bleating ones.

 

[hawksfansinceday1]

Hey, I just realized something. This is the Detroit Lion back-up reject Bowl. Both QBs are former Detroit back-up QBs.
LMAO!!!

They both suck.

 

[hawksfansinceday1]

There you go Pe. Blatantly a sack and not overturned. HORRIBLE!

 

[Seahwkgal]

Yawn...Snore, snore. This is a BORING game. I do hate rooting for the Lambs too.
I seriously cannot stay awake.

Move to the west coast. It's only 6:50 here.


(I know, easier said than done)

Is Fisher any good at halftime adjustments?

I couldn't argue that..having no way of knowing for sure. But I am certain it's not with the knowledge, or influence, of Vegas or the mob. Goodell? I'd more trust the mob.

Liking my under in this game..my Rams pick, a bit less. I think they'll get it together for the 2nd half, though. Fisher is a wiztard.

This game belongs on the Hallmark channel.

Because it's during the Christmas season and it's boring as all hell.

 

[HawkWow]

Rivaled only by Jack Patera.

 

[joeseahawks]

Come on RAMS ... get the freaking job done in the second half.
I don't mean to be cocky, but I expect us to win against both these teams ...

 

[Seahwkgal]

Watching the Tweety Tree birds play, I will say that if somehow they luck out far in the play offs I will root for them to lose on principle and ugliness alone. What an awful looking offense and all their D does is blitz. Seriously, can't teams figure that out? We did.

Sunny and hot here. Smart people are at the beach. The mentally ill are home watching this.

Genius (and hysterical as well)

Good one.

Of course our low scoring slugfests have to bore the hell out of non NFC west fans. At least we have dynamic guys like Russ, Shawn, Earl, Sherm, etc. At least our games are entertaining.

 

[Chukarhawk]

Rams aint winning this game. They have no shot. Zero pressure on the QB

 

[Hasselbeck]

Kicking myself for not betting heavy on the under tonight. Easiest bet of the season.
