Some random thoughts after reading this thread post-game...
1. You guys are funny as hell. You don't mean to be but goddamn you are. I was laughing the entire time in fact, reading the gameday thread after the game is way better than contributing to the madness.
2. Both sides of the ball pre-snap seem lost. The offense has to run the goddamn clock to 0 or worse just about every snap and change every play it seems at the LOS. The defense has one or two guys running around like a fast-forwarded Benny Hill clip every snap too. I get that Seattle's a loud environment but come the fuck on. Sometimes as coaches you can make shit harder than it needs to be. Rams strike me as a team that is at the very least encroaching on that line.
3. Stafford's problems are not his finger. You can see in his reads at times he's simply not getting through them. He is unsure and it's spilling over into his confidence and throws. Some plays it's him trying to control the safety with his eyes and he runs out of time from the pressure but you don't have to do that shit on every down. He's definitely had the jitters in two games now though. I hope it's a mix of the pressure he's feeling of moving to a team that is in big games every week, as well as maybe he doesn't have this offense as down as it seemed in the first few games. IMO he can offer a lot more in this offense.
That said, he and the offense did get the job done. When we needed the drives they delivered and as usual they make it look easy when things are clicking. Offense probably should have put up 40 points tonight and would have with better QB throws and better FG kicks.
4. Defense played well in a lot of ways tonight. But as mentioned above there's a lot of confusion and I wonder what will happen when rat boy gameplans vs Morris. I am terrified.
5. Rochell will get better. He had the right idea on that TD he gave up, he just needs to remember he's in the NFL now. You can't stop and turn when you're covering a giant stud WR like Metcalf. Flow with him and turn the head dude.
6. I can't believe how poorly Williams is playing in this scheme. Zero anticipation. Where are his instincts he showed over and over last season?
7. Fortunately there is time to get this team playing better and tonight was a big step forward. That was a pretty fucking big win right there too so very happy.
