PREGAME Seattle Pregame Thread

Maybe in the red zone as a decoy.

EXACTLY!

If he's only healthy enough to be a decoy then we definitely sit him. We don't need to make Adam's a sitting duck.

 

[kmramsfan]

Tutu having a big game in Adam's absence would be huge.
Plus run a lot of the 13 offense.
Maybe Ferguson will finally have a breakout game as he has been close and has been doing a great job blocking.

Once again, MS9 missed a wide open Ferg, who would have easily scored.
Uncanny how this keeps happening with him.

I think like McVay said in the post game locker room speech, "we didn't mention it all week (clinching a playoff bid)", they will handle this game the same way. Nobody in that locker room will say, "win this game and you'll be the division winner and #1 seed". But the truth is, win and it's practically a done deal on both counts.

I think they knew that ship sailed when they blew the game against the Panthers.... They lost their room for error and have to win out for the #1 seed.

Keys to winning this game is stop the run and put pressure on Donald.

Oh crap!
I didn't know they signed Aaron Donald.
We may be in trouble.

Stafford might get a little hyped when he's throwing at his new weapon that we got specifically for him.

Question;
Why do (did) we get two Thursday nite games?

 

[0311rams]

Is it more interesting for the big picture of the rams win and clinch or if the Seahawks win and creates a whole level of opportunity for SF, playoffs, etc. If the refs gave the rams a td that didn't count against Detroit, then possibly payback could be a bitch for the rams against Seahawks. If the defense had done a better job against the panthers and lions I would say we win np. Now, not so sure. Darnold is due to figure us out. Go, Rams.

I disagree that the refs “gave us a TD”. The call should have been 1st and goal from the one. No way in hell we don’t score a TD there regardless of the spot.

 

[WestCoastRam]

We ran a lot of 13 personnel last time but outside of 1-2 drives, they pretty much shut it down.

I don't either... we would have scored anyway....

We would tried three passes from the 1 yard line, then on 4th and goal we run it in.

 

[Spider2YB]

If we win on Thursday, there’s a really good chance the SF-Seattle week 18 game is for the 5 seed. Winner travels to TB/Carolina. Loser has to go to Philly.

Personally I’d love to see Philly-Seattle square off in the wild card round.

Source?

NFL.com, citing Next Gen stats, said Rams used 3-TEs for 30 and 35 plays in weeks 9 and 10. This does not seem to be reflected on the graph above. NFL.com is probably a semi-trustworthy source for NFL stats (imo).
My source:

The Rams have increasingly operated out of 13 personnel (one running back, one receiver, three tight ends) and posed problems for opposing defenses. According to Next Gen Stats, the Rams scored four of their six TDs in this grouping, which they used on 30 offensive plays (44.8%). Last week, the Rams used 13 personnel on 35 plays -- the most by any offense in a game over the last decade, per Next Gen -- and also had four TDs.

Interesting, Ben Solak credits this from Nextgen stats... and their charting of 12 was way higher than I thought, possibility they're looking at Fergy as big slot. Not sure what happened here.

Yep. If anything it benefitted the Lions with more clock.

Lets just call him Matt Stafford thank you.

Ratings.
Follow the money.

 

[Q729]

...And, the key is still pressuring Darnold so we get the Vikings Darnold.

"Vikings" Darnold

 

[OCRamsFanatic]

Any news on if Coach McVay and his wife had their baby yet?

He was on his way to the hospital after the game per Fox Sports Jay Glazer.

Hopefully he will be good to go on Thursday!

 

[Rmfnlt]

We will be ready to dominate. Let's make Darnold unravel again.

Darnold is NOT a good QB.

Pressure him even a little and he collapses.

That is the gameplan.
