The last time I was so Pumped-Up about a Hag's game was Sept. 13th 2015, when we opened the Season in St.Louis wanting A Victory in Memory of our late Friend " Thordaddy"

With his Family and friends in attendance, We Won 34-31! Then we went on and Beat the Hag's in Seattle Dec 27th, 23-17, for a late X-Mas present!
I say we Sweep the Hag's again this year and Let them R.I.P! ( that's Rest in Pain!) Rams Win 41-17!!!

Los Ramos are currently -3 favorites against the Hags. When is the last time we were favored against them???? Maybe 2004?

At home, I honestly feel like this is a game this team should win. I believe we have the advantage at QB, RB, WR, OL, DL, and ST. TE is a wash. SEA has a definite advantage at LB and DB. We should be able to control the tempo on the ground against this version of SEA. If they stack the box, there are just too many weapons that will create mismatches against whoever is in the middle, no matter how good the LB's and S's are for Seattle.

I think Tavon and Kupp will have big outings in this one :)

I have a feeling that this is going to be the TRUE statement game we've been waiting for ....

Home games, versus NFC West opponents, are always more important....that 2 game swing is the main point....4-1 & 2-3....compared to 3-2 & 3-2....Huge game, because it's at home....we have to play them again at their house....which isn't a gimme.

I think the division may be decided next Sunday. Sure there are many games to go, but Hawks would have an edge if we lose. I think they will get better and better as the season unfolds, and then so will we! They are not as good on the road and their Oline blows. There defense vs our offense should be a battle. Pete va McVay. We must win this game.

I think the Rams will improve more rapidly than other teams for a number of reasons (our youth for one, getting to know new O and D systems, new players learning to play together, etc.).

I think we could lose this one and could still end up clobbering the West; I think Seattle loses and they're toast.

I'd say this one mirrors the first whiner game in '99. They were the reigning division leader. they had been the measuring stick for some time. Everyone wanted to see if the Rams were for real....they were. Now it's the '17 version of the same scenario.

I am sure that Wonder Boy McVay has had some wrinkles in his playbook that he hasnt used yet, knowing how important this game would be come week 5

Just a little Trivia, for those who like it! The Rams Biggest Blow-Out of the Hag's came in 1976 at the L.A. Coliseum Rams Won 45-6! (Karma) We'll do it again!!
Also the Rams and the Hag's have meet once in the Play-Off's, at Seattle in 2005, The Rams Won 27-20!

Rams lead the NFL in scoring. Seattle scored 50% of their season total yesterday.





that would be yesterday's headlines, wouldn't it. I'm no more scared of them then I was the big, bad Niners in 1999.

The point was don't underestimate this opponent.

Also, your niners analogy doesn't work. There are still many starters on the current Hawks team that were part for their championship runs -- Sherman, Thomas, Chancellor, Wagner, Wright, Bennett, Wilson, Baldwin, Avril and not to mention Carroll and his staff... It would be foolish not to respect those guys.

Really hope Rams don't adopt your mindset come Sunday.

They're not that good. They really weren't that good last year either. Their 10-5-1 record would've only won 2 of the other 7 divisions.

Bunch of players living off their reputations. They're fielding an average defense, average offense. I'm not impressed.

Really hope Rams don't adopt your mindset come Sunday.

I sincerely hope they do. Got to believe they're the superior team.

I have to admit, Fisher had the Hags number. That being said, a lot of our Def. KNOWS Wilson and the Hags Offense. If I was Wade, I might be thinking to pick those players brains and make some adjustments.

I think it's a pretty big game as many have already said. 4-1 with a 2 game lead on them is way different than 3-2 tied and they have the edge.

If our 2nd half D against Dallas shows up we should win this game.
