November 5, 2024 at 2:42 pm in reply to: Seattle game: tweets, plays, highlights, commentarie, articles #153033wvParticipantGeno ranked much higher than Stafford in that game? “turnover worthy plays”
Smith was heavily under pressure behind a shakey OL and he’s not a consistent qb. But he did hit more than his share of chunk plays. Stafford was under some pressure too (not as much as Smith) but also according to things I’ve read Seattle threw an unexpected defense at him. They ignored motion, which tells you they’re playing zone, but then played man anyway. It took the Rams a while to sort out what the Seattle defense was doing. Plus, the run was not as reliable as normal for the Rams, and they kept getting penalties on offense. Then in overtime, Stafford was “on.” He was just on. Another Stafford late win. Rams defense was mostly great throughout the game but then let Seattle have more than its share of chunk pass plays, which is what kept Seattle in the game.
Well, i respect the fact they stick to their algebra even when it seems a bit wacky, but in wv-algebra, a QB gets more points for what they do in the clutch. And what Stafford did in the clutch outweighs what Geno did to me. Not by a lot, but they had Geno, at like ten points ahead of Stafford, and i just dont buy that way of ranking.

wvParticipantJ.Rodrigue:
“…he threaded a pass 24 yards toward the right sideline to another veteran, Tyler Johnson, through two sets of defenders’ arms. The throw and catch definitely, assuredly, convincingly were not possible. Except they were.
And before the Rams’ otherwise constipated and error-filled offense got the ball back in overtime…”
That throw to Tyler Johnson, was one of the most heart-stopping throws i can remember any Ram QB throw. Ever. I dunno if it was a TERRIBLE decision or an awesome decision. Is there a throw that better exemplifies the essence of Stafford, more than that one? The gunslinger. Ice-water. Assassin. Reckless. Pinpoint power-accurate. Stubborn. Tough.
I wish some football expert would go over the details of that pass.
The TD will get all the press coverage, but the pass to TJ was as interesting a play as the Rams will have all year.
…btw, Tyler Johnson, a 5th Round pick, caught a pass from Tom Brady in the Buc’s Super Bowl win in 2020 over the Chiefs.

wvParticipantSigh. You know, didnt the 99-2000 Rams have the whole OLine together the entire season?
I forget, did the 2022 Super Bowl team have its Oline intact all year?
I’d like to see this team be healthy for just one month. One whole entire month.

I dunno what to make of it.
This is not the team we hoped for, with a dominating Offensive line. Ah well.
But, if they can eek out a playoff berth…and get some OLine health….

wvParticipantwvParticipantSeattle’s defense has had its problems this year, i guess.
“…Seattle Sports’ Brock and Salk, head coach Mike Macdonald was asked if the focus moving forward will be to build on what the team is already doing well, or try to address the weaknesses its shown.
“I think you gotta start making some decisions on where to narrow it down. You can’t focus on everything,” he said. “So taking out the stuff that we feel like is kind of sunk costs at this point, maybe trying to trim that and then really focusing on and honing in on the stuff that we want to go excel at. That’s stuff that I feel like (there) may be opportunities that we haven’t been able to take advantage of at this point. And stuff that we do feel like we’re doing well, we can try to build on that a little.
Seattle Sports’ Mike Salk asked Macdonald if that meant simplifying what the team is doing schematically on offense and defense, but the first-year head coach doesn’t feel the team is doing anything too complicated. In fact, he revealed that his squad hasn’t installed its full playbook on offense or defense at this point.
“The reason is because … we haven’t executed the things well enough and created the situations where we want to be able to get to everything,” Macdonald said. “… You have some things that would help schematically, but the answer at the end of the day isn’t the X’s and O’s. It’s really not.”
Macdonald: Where Seahawks are at with schemes on offense, defense
wvParticipantThis is good.

i didnt know bout it, till today

wvParticipantJust saw, the Jets are probably gonna beat the Texans. It’s funny but I actually like that thought. And I could care less about the Jets. Or the Texans. But all the press I ran across before the game was about how the Texans were just gonna squash NY, so it’s a nice turn of events.
Exactly. Its kinda hilarious too.

wvParticipantThe Ernest Jones situation, as others have noted, is odd. I mean, he’s a solid player. So why did TWO teams trade him recently? I mean, it wasnt just the Rams. It was the Titans too.

wvParticipantrams v seahawks at the 1:14 mark
wvParticipantThe Lions remind me just a bit of the old Jimmy Johnson Cowboys. Basically cause that Lion Oline is just becoming ridiculous. No-one can touch Goff and he does whatever he wants in the pocket.
Right now, I think i would favor the Lions over the Chiefs.
w
v
wvParticipantThis seems crazy to me, considering how high Richardson’s stock was last year before he was injured. I understand that taking himself out of the game in a crucial drive late in the game is not a confidence-builder, but to turn the team over to Flacco in perpetuity seems like…well…this is more than just taking a breather during a game. There is more to this, probably a lack of work ethic generally, I’m guessing.
Well, Ive watched him a bit this year, and I have thought he looked awful. Truly awful. Inaccurate. Confused.
I’m no expert, of course.

wvParticipantEvery time i have watched a Jets vid this year, i have thought of Joe Namath. The year he played for the Rams. Was supposed to be a savior. But he couldnt move.
Ah well.

wvParticipantNick Bosa wore a Maga hat in a postgame interview. Nick Wright on that subject, fwiw:
wvParticipantTyrique Stevenson.
wvParticipantGeez, have you guyz watched the Jared Verse mic-d up vid.
Quite the trash talker. He dont like the Vikings.
Somewhere Deacon is smiling.
w
v
wvParticipantwvParticipantHe gets to the Ram at at 4:22 in.
wvParticipantChris Long had interesting comments bout Verse in one of Long’s vids. Kinda compared Verse to himself in that neither had that real good ‘bendy-ness’ around the corner, and so they both experienced that feeling of wiff-ing on the QB, etc.
w
v
wvParticipantwvParticipantwvParticipantWell, the Oline looked pretty awful (i thot) against the Bears. Who was the weak link against the Bears?
