God damn Kenneth Walker could get the same .gif, wow. Just smoked the linebacker to the edge.

Darnold already answering questions about whether he's still injured or not, having barely thrown it last week.

I really want him to play well. Going to be tough to protect him against that front 7 of LA for a whole game, though.

 

[Jack Regan]

Brilliant start for them especially after how the Rams smoked them when they last met.

 

[Alan]

Hell yes I'm making "smoked" happen

Hell yes I'm making "smoked" happen

I don't know why I had a recollection of the Rams smoking em, yet both games were ridiculously close in the regular season and the Seahawks won the last one.

Must have been wishful thinking as a Niners fan after the annihilation last weekend.

 

[Alan]

I’d forgotten that you were a Niners guy!

In that case, you can just blame it on an injury.

President Trump says he won’t attend Super Bowl, criticizes Bad Bunny and Green Day

Trump, who attended last year's game in New Orleans, said next month's contest in California was "just too far away."

Shame that!

 

[Jack Regan]

The usual special teams calamity for the Rams.

Immediately punished.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Different conditions, different QBs, different score.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

And a taunting penalty that lets the Rams back in.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Missed the first 25 minutes, but saw lots of great QB play from both sides. Ultimately the Seahawks earned the win through a slightly better D and coaching.

Didn't stay up for the NFC game, but if you'd told me the Rams would score 27 points, I'd have said they'd win. Guess I'm going to have to change my Darnold opinion, I didn't think he could win a game like that with the stakes that high

 

[Jack Regan]

Darnold was excellent, having JSN obviously helps as he's a top drawer receiver. That muffed punt by Xavier Smith the massive difference between the two teams in the end though.

 

[Tony Towner]

Yeah, not sure what he was trying to do with that technique, I assume he'd called fair catch so they couldn't hit him, just catch the ball

 

[Wellen Wolf]

Watched the highlights of Seahawks vs Rams blind to the score at lunchtime over here in Germany/Luxembourg. Gripping stuff from start to finish and a thoroughly enjoyable match from both sides, unlike....
Go Seahawks!

Bills promote Joe Brady to head coach on 5-year deal: Sources

Brady interviewed for almost three-quarters of this year’s vacancies, including the Cardinals, Falcons, Ravens, Raiders and Dolphins.

Fairly predictable.

 

[Tony Towner]

So they've given the job to the guy who was the OC when the 'coaching staff' convinced the GM to draft Coleman against his own draft board. Almost like that was a load of tosh to pile on McDermott

 

[Jack Regan]

Daboll new OC for the Titans.

 

[Dire Wolf]

What's the lowest level of 'whelm' possible? As someone commented on Instagram: its like shitting your pants and changing your shirt.

 

[Alan]

JB doesn’t even get me there. Horrible hire

 

[Tony Towner]

Belichik not a first ballot hall of famer. The cheating has won out over the winning...shame
