I think losing to the niners 4 times was part of the reason Goff is in Detroit now.
I think it's been well documented that the last 9er game was the beginning of the end.
It was the first time Mcvay called him out in front of team.

To add, the Seahawks only have two picks in the top 200 I think? Something like that. so if they have more holes and offensive line then they're going to have trouble filling them if they didn't do so in free agency already.
I believe they have 3 draft picks TOTAL.
Seattle lost some key free agents, don't have much CAP, and only have 3 draft picks, ... and none in the first round. The Russell Wilson saga will affect morale.
The Rams win the division, Seattle finishes 2'nd and SF/AZ will fight it out for 3'rd place. jmo.

Yep. 3 picks.

NFL Releases 2021 Draft Order, Seahawks Currently Hold Three Picks

The Seahawks have used trades to acquire some high-quality players over the past year, including safety Jamal Adams, defensive end Carlos Dunlap II, and most recently guard Gabe Jackson.

The tradeoff for adding those players, however, is a lack of draft capital heading into the 2021 draft. The Seahawks could always make more moves before or during the draft to change that, but as things stand now, the Seahawks hold only three picks in the official draft order the NFL released on Friday:
  • Round 2, Pick No. 56 overall
  • Round 4, Pick No. 129 overall
  • Round 7, Pick No. 250 overall
The Seahawks sent this year's first (23 overall) and third (86) to the Jets as part of the Adams trade, and their fifth-rounder (167) was sent to the Las Vegas Raiders this week to acquire Jackson. The Seahawks traded away this year's sixth (208) during the 2020 draft for the seventh-round pick they used on tight end Stephen Sullivan. In addition to the seventh-round pick they currently hold, the Seahawks also had a pick earlier in the seventh-round (235) that they acquired in their 2019 trade with Detroit to acquire Quandre Diggs, but they sent that pick to Cincinnati last season for Dunlap.

In 11 drafts under John Schneider and Pete Carroll, the Seahawks have never picked fewer than eight times. In 2019, the Seahawks had just four picks leading up to the draft, but traded Frank Clark for a first-round pick, as well as a 2020 second-rounder, and that extra first-round pick freed them up to make a series of trades in the draft that netted them 11 total picks. The smallest draft class in team history is five players, which occurred in both 1994 and 1997, though interestingly enough, the Seahawks landed a Hall of Fame offensive lineman in both drafts, Kevin Mawae in 1994 and Walter Jones in 1997.

It’s a copy cat league & the Hags are in win now mode.

The NFC West is the toughest in the NFL in my book. I think the Gabe Jackson was a must to keep Russell Wilson.

You bet Andy Dickerson had a say in the selection as well.Will see how Waldron & Dickerson do in the far West

I expect the cardinals to be poor this year and for Kingsbury to be fired.

Could happen. A lot could happen.
Kingsbury gets fired and comes to work for McVay & Co. like they wanted him to do before he got the AZ job.
Seattle collapses, Pete retires, they roll the dice with a new head coach
SF drafts a QB at #3, but he's a bust and Garopolo remains an injury waiting to happen.
The NFC West goes from best division in football to so-so.
McVay and the Rams run off over a decade of division titles and aren't challenged within the division for quite some time.
Although, always a "good" team, they enjoy what the Patriots did from 2001-2019....a weak division......and they stack their trophy case with a few Lombardi's!!!
:biggrin:

The 9ers

I don’t think it was so much shanahan as it was DC salah who had the Rams’ #. Yeah, the offense could be a problem at times, but without our offense putting up some points, the 9ers always dictated the play calling. Much like the harblah 9ers, that scary defense hid a lotta warts on offense. Without a good defense, you are not running on 3rd and long with an OL that excelled in run blocking (especially vs a nickel defense) but was one of the league’s worst in pass protection.

Edit: was referring the the harblah team running on 3rd and long so much.

Let’s see how good their defense is this year; otherwise, jimmy g is TO waiting to happen while a rookie QB is, well, a rookie.

Minus a miracle I believe the Rams will go 4-2, possibly 5-1 in their division this year. The Cards have made moves that will make them competitive but still short. The Hawks will be the same, so the game up north is a toss up. Until McVay pulls up his sweatpants and doesn’t get out coached by Shanahan there is no telling how the 49er games go (if the Rams get swept pitch forks and flame are acceptable).
I hate to say it, but beating them ought to be easier without some (one) of our players being a niner fan. If we still can't beat them, yeah I'm with you on the pitchforks.
