Hell yea, I would rather get money back and guarantee my team health for the playoffs then sit in traffic, overpay for beer and watch a bunch of backups play a conservative game in which burning clock is the priority.
To be frank, the owners don't care about the overpriced food or about mediocre play on the field. They created the NFL experience to drain you of your cash. They make season ticket holders pay for preseason games don't they? A game of future Home Depot employees vs future pizza delivery drivers is comparatively worse football than NFL back-ups playing the last game of the season in which season ticket holders and the stadium will sell their tickets to Seahawk fans. This fact won't deter Rams fans from paying through the nose for a playoff game at SoFi, afterwards.

I'm ok with that. I'm not one to worry about who we play. I get most that are concerned worry about Philly the most. I say fuck them and every team in the playoffs. If we gotta play em, we gotta play em, simple as that. If we deserve to be champs, we eventually have to earn it.
Bingo!

Can't wait to get a look at:

:helmet: Emanuel Forbes. Seattle is a strong matchup for him and Durant and they will need to cover without our starting front.

:helmet: Brennan Jackson. Expected him to win a depth role by now. This is a nice chance for him to show what he can do.

:helmet: Jacob Hummel. He looked good in preseason, brings range. Show the coaches something young feller.

:helmet: John Johnson. McVay may protect him this week. But I'd like to see him knock the rust off.

That’s the thing with JJ III. Has the Kinch outplayed him for his position by now?

The coaches that play their starters in meaningless games are geniuses,
until they have an injury in a spot they are thin at, then they get fired!

Only the Rams know that one. I'd say he will get a long look vs the Seahawks and they'll go from there.

My guess is nothing is written in stone back there. But I could very well be wrong on that.

Brennan Jackson there's a name I haven't heard of since training camp. I was thinking he'd be in the rush LB rotation at some point. But they like Hoecht there, who does very good rushing but sucks in coverage. Looking forward to see what Jackson can bring there because Hoecht definitely needs to be taken off coverage responsibilities. The Rams have been gambling there hoping the QB gets hurried before they can expose him, with some undesired results.
