    Westbrooks gets a penalty that gives Seattle another chance.

    Seattle drives down the field and then are stuck in the redzone forever on play after play. (Actually it was 6 plays inside the redzone.)

    1st and 10 at SEA 19
    (6:53 – 1st) (Shotgun) R.Wilson pass short right to T.Rawls to SEA 21 for 2 yards (M.Barron)
    2nd and 8 at SEA 21
    (6:22 – 1st) (Shotgun) R.Wilson up the middle to SEA 19 for -2 yards (A.Donald)
    3rd and 10 at SEA 19
    (5:35 – 1st) (Shotgun) R.Wilson pass incomplete deep middle to D.Baldwin. PENALTY on LA-E.Westbrooks, Defensive Offside, 5 yards, enforced at SEA 19 – No Play

    They stopped them right there. Westbooks screws it up.

    3rd and 5 at SEA 24
    (5:29 – 1st) (Shotgun) R.Wilson pass short left to D.Baldwin to SEA 31 for 7 yards (L.Joyner)
    1st and 10 at SEA 31
    (4:59 – 1st) (Shotgun) R.Wilson pass deep left to T.Lockett to LA 34 for 35 yards (M.Alexander)

    Big play Seattle.

    1st and 10 at LA 34
    (4:18 – 1st) (Shotgun) PENALTY on SEA-B.Sowell, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at LA 34 – No Play
    1st and 15 at LA 39
    (3:49 – 1st) (Shotgun) PENALTY on SEA-J.Britt, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at LA 39 – No Play
    1st and 20 at LA 44
    (3:26 – 1st) (Shotgun) R.Wilson up the middle to LA 39 for 5 yards (A.Ogletree). PENALTY on LA-A.Ogletree, Unnecessary Roughness, 15 yards, enforced at LA 39

    Another penalty, this time AO.

    1st and 10 at LA 24
    (2:57 – 1st) (Shotgun) R.Wilson pass short middle to T.Lockett to LA 17 for 7 yards (M.Barron)

    Next–Seattle is inside the 20.

    2nd and 3 at LA 17
    (2:23 – 1st) (Shotgun) C.Michael right tackle to LA 14 for 3 yards (T.Johnson; W.Hayes)
    1st and 10 at LA 14
    (1:47 – 1st) (Shotgun) T.Rawls up the middle to LA 14 for no gain (A.Donald; W.Hayes)
    2nd and 10 at LA 14
    (1:09 – 1st) (Shotgun) R.Wilson pass short left to T.Rawls to LA 3 for 11 yards (C.Sensabaugh) [E.Sims]

    Next inside the 5

    1st and Goal at LA 3
    (0:42 – 1st) (Shotgun) R.Wilson pass incomplete short left to T.Lockett. PENALTY on SEA-J.Kearse, Offensive Pass Interference, 10 yards, enforced at LA 3 – No Play
    1st and Goal at LA 13

    Seattle penalty this time.

    (0:35 – 1st) (Shotgun) R.Wilson pass short right to T.Lockett to LA 9 for 4 yards (T.Johnson). PENALTY on LA-T.Johnson, Face Mask (15 Yards), 5 yards, enforced at LA 9
    1st and Goal at LA 4

    Penalty on Johnson…he negates the Seattle penalty..

    (0:00 – 1st) (Shotgun) C.Michael right tackle to LA 5 for -1 yards (A.Ogletree)
    END QUARTER 1
    2nd and 5 at LA 5
    (15:00 – 2nd) (Shotgun) R.Wilson pass incomplete short right to W.Tukuafu
    3rd and Goal at LA 5
    (14:54 – 2nd) (Shotgun) R.Wilson pass incomplete short left to J.Kearse (L.Joyner)
    4th and Goal at LA 5
    (14:45 – 2nd) S.Hauschka 23 yard field goal is GOOD, Center-N.Frese, Holder-J.Ryan

    That was 3 plays inside the 20 and then 3 plays inside the 5. On the one hand I am proud of them for keeping them to a FG but Seattle got 3 huge Rams penalties (giving them 35 yards) and that kept them Seattle in it.

    Yeah, I thought we were looking at the Rams implode on that drive. And Westbrooks didn’t jump. He lined up in the neutral zone which is inexcusable.

    Until the Rams stop being one of the most penalized teams in the league, we’re going to continue to see drives like that. Every single Sunday.

    That’s one of the reasons they’re 7-9.

    Fisher in the Jeff Fisher Show, ESPN podcast, talks a lot about penalties. Strangely he doesn’t mention the lining up off sides penalty. He almost makes you feel good about the Rams’ penalties. He has really good magician like verbal skills. šŸ˜‰

    From the replay, you cannot even see Westbrooks offsides. Without this call, the Rams Defense pitches a shutout against the Seahawks.

    The blown call against Britt in the endzone was even more infuriating on the Rams drive where they had first and goal at the 4. How many times are Rams DBs flagged for ticky-tack calls, and Sherman basically spins Britt around to deny the touchdown and the Ref gives Sherman a free pass. Just a horrible call that probably cost the Rams and Gurley a TD.
