What Seattle posters are saying

Rams had 8 plays of 20 yards or more. Wtf?

——-

Very troublesome. Especially since the Rams didn’t have their top two running backs. The D was as bad as I’ve seen it under PC today. Not a good first test for Kris Richard.

——-

It’s the first game… Against the only team in the NFL that knows how to kick our butts and do it our way.

——-

Our entire system relied on a great run game and we decided a bunch of guys from off the street could do it too. Big mistake that I think we will be paying dearly for all year. Also part of why Russ didn’t look like Russ today, nobody had to honor Lynch as a threat at all.

——-

a smart man could of had Evan Mathis and Unger on this team….

——-

Yes the offensive line had a lot to do with Foles picking apart our secondary.

——-

Today our offensive line was sooo over matched that the Ram safety’s were able to creep up and dominate our short passing game and defend against Russell’s and Lynch’s running. Our offensive staff is going to have to go back to the drawing board because things have changed.

——-

This oline in addition to the most conservative qb in the history plus a horrible OC is just a bad combo.

——-

Enough with the Unger BS. Making the trade was the right call. Max Unger showed that he cannot stay on the field. He missed 10 games last season. You couldn’t count on him to be there week in and week out. I bully our line too, but the Unger talk is idiotic. If you can’t be on the field for large chunks of time, you can’t be counted on. So just stop.

——-

One question, unless Nick Foles and SUPPOESEDLY inept O- Linemen are using magic dust on our Defense, how does the Rams 3rd & 4th string RB’s make B.Wags disappear for over half a game?

——-

Rams do have a new OC, we are seeing different stuff. Do we know for sure if the Rams offense is bad? I thought Foles played pretty well. Personally I’m getting annoyed with ridiculous perfect passes coming at us in the end of games.

——-

Leave the Oline in St Louis. Hire 5 sumo wrestlers and watch the improvement

——-

Did Lynch Not Hit The Hole On That Last Play? Looked to me like he could have easily picked up the first down, but he hesitated. Can anyone confirm?

——-

No hole. St Louis blew right by us, and earned that stop and the win

——-

what hole….there were many blue shirts in front of him. The OL decided to call it a day

——-

to me… it all boils drown to our offensive scheme. We have, what looks like, about 4 formations and maybe a dozen plays. I called half of them to my family today and I was half-drunk by halftime. Any DCoordinator salivates when they play us.

We look like an 8-10 win team, with our schedule, this year. I’m ready to settle for a rebuilding year. I’m not saying the sky is falling, just trying to set my mind up for a possible reality….

…which means I’m officially [relatively] emotionally detached until I see evidence that we can compete for a championship. Hopefully, I can be rational going forward with this mindset. I hope I’m wrong.

——-

Our O-Line held up against even a high end DL but sometimes they just completely collapsed. It was either decent or horrible. There is potential but we need consistency.

The worst thing to see was that Kam cost us this game. Not because his replacement made a crucial mistake but because of the effect of him not being there had on Earl and Sherm. Sherm lacked serious motivation today. He covered well but never even tried to make a play and Earl was constantly just a bit too late while that never happens with Kam next to him.

If Kam doesn’t play all year I seriously doubt we make the play-offs. Such a waste of a year if that happens.

——-

If no one else wants to, I’ll take a dig at both Cary Williams and Dion Bailey.

1st: Bailey, outside of a solo tackle in coverage, he did absolutely nothing this game. No presence on the field at all. Then to top it off he gets caught flat footed against a TE, stumbles and gives up the game-trying TD.

2nd: Holy **** did Cary Williams fail at covering his assignments today. I think he got burned for 150 yards. Great TD/sack, but the guy can’t cover at all. It was terrible watching him out there.

I just can’t believe how bad our defense looked out there. I mean, damn. We looked bad.

As an aside, what the hell was that unnecessary roughness call on Hill I think? Am I the only one that didn’t see anything to warrant a flag? Dude was trying to get up and they flag him for 15. wtf.

All in all, today sucked, next week doesn’t look good at all.

Lethargy seemed rampant today. Bobby was invisible much of this game. Could just be me, but it seemed like Sherm is still favoring his injured arm. Earl isnt getting his full range of motion yet either. Not a fan of Cary Williams yet, but seems servicable. Bailey I thought did ok all things considered. Falling down happens. We are misusing him,but Graham at least was sure handed today so I like that. Lockett is a star already. Wilson had a rocky first half AGAIN. Willson dropping that touchdown was inexcusable. We were ultimately undone by coaching on this one though.

——-

Most of us on this board could see this coming from pre-season forward. The O-line struggles to run block or pass block. And there aren’t any other players on the team who are better that can take their place. Unless they (the O-line) can get bigger, faster, and stronger in the weight room throughout the year, this is it.

The play calling as you alluded to was scripted and tailored with such conservatism anyone could see what plays were coming and when. Just telegraphed all day long. And don’t blame Russell for not throwing down the field deep. There wasn’t any time . He ran from Aaron Donald all day long. As a matter of fact he beat Britt and Sweezy like unwanted step children. It was a shame.

But the coup de grace came on the poor play by Bailey as he stood flat footed, fell to the ground and let the tying touchdown get free. Yes #31 should have been there. And how does Pete call an onside kick and give the ball at the 50 yard line in an over time game? A game in which his team was struggling, but had a better chance in OT if his defense could have held deep. Bad calls are starting to follow Pete around. I just hope it doesn’t become a bad habit.

In the end JB was right. If Kam doesn’t return, and if Green Bay puts a revenge whooping on this team next week, the chemistry and fire may soon begin to dwindle. The Packers have been waiting for this game all year. And as a result we could be in a rebuilding mode. I hope not. I’m just a realist that faces the reality of what my eyes observe.

I thought the tackling just looked bad overall today, and couldn’t believe how a 3rd string RB was running rampant on the defense. I was really disappointed in the secondary, Earl seemed slower than normal.

——-

Absolutely. I was present at the StL game last year and left wondering the same thing I’m wondering today…are we this bad?

But it’s the concepts a much as- or even more than- the execution. Our offensive concept is just bad. Predictable and unintelligent.

Not sure yet what to make of this defensive performance.

——-

This loss is on the Defense

All the Bevel hater threads ignore that our D gave up big chunks of yardage to what was supposed to be a weak offense. What was up with the wide open receivers all day? And why were they able to escape so many 3rd and longs?

Still, not worried as I believe the D will get better as they play together and get the communication and assignments down. But we need to do a better job against the Packers.

——-

St. Louis is here for good. We got tore up by a third string running back. Gurley will feast on our current D.
——–
I’m at a loss of how our pass rushers were so “hot/cold” BUT then again the amount of holding as pretty decent to.. jerseys being held left and right especially on those long passes. But when they’d run half out team was in the back field tackling them.
——–
The other thing I’m hating about this loss is it looks like people are going to be hating on Dion. He clearly slipped on the TD play and that can happen to anyone. What I don’t know is if the wide open receivers were his fault. Couldn’t have been all of them. Someone with better knowledge of schemes and responsibilities will have to clue me in.

——-

I would think that 31 points should be enough to win with our elite Defense?

I’ll bet that our Offense had as many 3 and outs as the number 3rd down conversions our D gave up.

——-

Considering that the defense only gave up 21 points and had multiple turnovers, I’d say that was good enough. Never mind that 7 of those 31 came from the defense itself.

Not going to blame them for a punt return TD and two field goals with bad field position. That’s 13 points scored by the Rams where the defense gave up maybe 30 yards.

Defense was still great today aside from one terrible play, and it’s sad to me that they’re getting a lot of the blame. We would never have made a comeback if not for the D
