Wild card first round opponent: The Rams?

[Palmegranite]

Denver learned from the blowout at the hands of the Seahawks. Won a Superbowl with that lesson later on as a matter of fact.

Feeling pretty good about our defense right now. Max and Griff have played really well at the corners. Wagz and ET are blasting people, Kj is beasting again, keep that pass rush up and things are looking good and dare I say our STs has played exceptional on coverage.......................................Hope the Falcons don't win. They have really started to be a thorn in our story.

Let’s worry about beating the Cards. Reality is we are a 9 win team not 13. Then let’s hope the underdog Panthers win.

 

[BamKam]

LOL indeed. Didn't the Rams lose to the Eagles?
LOL.

Here's the thing. They are 1-1 vs the Seahawks my Rams fan friend. Let's hope there's a rubber match.

We also had Kam and Sherm for that first game. Not happening, sorry.

Well, it won't be the Eagles. They just secured the #1 seed.

A really weird statistic.

Playoff teams are like 1 - 5 over the last decade against teams they blew out towards the end of the regular season.

Blowouts are always perfect storms... especially when it's against the division opponent. It pisses the losing team off, and then inevitably, you get some dipstick who shoots their mouth off and allows the other team to hang a sign in the locker room.

In this case:

"The Seahawks are like the Browns..."

The Patriots destroyed the Jets at home in late 2010, and then lost a close game at home to them in the postseason, getting knocked out in a 1 and done. It's probably one of the more surprising upsets in NFL postseason play this decade.

The precedent is always there.

In a rematch I wouldn't expect the Rams to blow out the Seahawks (or anyone else for that matter). I don't foresee there being any blowouts in the NFC playoffs or even AFC.

It will be a good battle.

Remember when Indy lost the last regular season game after pulling all the starters? Think it was against the Jets

Then they lost to them in the playoffs

Regardless it would not be a good matchup for us but whatever will deal with that problem when it happens

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Bring it on, unlike many people, I know we can beat them if we are on.

Very true. They can beat anyone when they’re on, as they’ve proven many times over the last few years.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I think it would be a hell of a great game to have the Hawks and Rams meet up. And it sounds crazy, but the way the Niners are playing, that is no given that the Rams beat them on Sunday.

 

[MD5eahawks]

If this team gets in the playoffs anything can happen. They have the ability. They just have to come together as a whole and want it together. Wilson is the guy that can have that type of influence.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Absolutely, and there is a lot to be said about playoff experience. This team has a ton of it, and with #3 behind center, anything is possible.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

There's a 50% chance we play the Rams.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

60 percent of the time, it works.........every time

 

[seahawkfreak]

I still like our defense. Even without Sherm and Kam. Wagz, ET, Coleman, McDougald, Clark, Reed, Bennett, Griff and,,and,, SH. Like our defense right now. Got some good back ups too. Wish this offense could get their ass together.

One full field drive a game,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, fine,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but you better flip the goddamn field!!!!!!

 

[Russ Willstrong]

If we get in I hope we play INSPIRED football.

 

[dbsn2420]

I'd rather they square off against the Rams in LA instead of C-link. If they can just manage any type of running game and the D not getting out of character, they can beat the Rams. Putting up the material that the Hawks played like Cleveland last time is just added fuel to the Warbird. :drool:

I never thought I'd ever wish so much for a Carolina win. :2thumbs:

With Bruce (on the hot seat) Arians running his pie hole about owning C-Link, I hope our boys take it personal and put up 60 minutes of relentless effort! :stirthepot:

If Seattle gets into the playoff, I don't care if we meet the Rams or anybody else because in order to get to the SB, you have to beat everybody along the way. Like Ric Flair said, to be the best, you have to beat the best, and imo, the Rams is one of the best teams in the NFC. They could go far in the playoffs. Jared Geoff looked like a scrub last year and was destined to be a flop, and all of a sudden, he looks like Joe Montana or something under the new head coach.

I cold see Geoff had potential even last year. He has a good arm the Rams are a dangerous team.

He is literally nothing without his coach god damn if Russ had Mcvay calling plays for him he would be shattering records.
