I'll help a brother out and give a sneak peak of some of the SHEhawks fans DEEP thoughts.
Here are a few quotes from the seahawks.net board starting with my favorite:
I miss Jeff Fisher.
------
I initially thought it would be competitive, and I could certainly be wrong here, and I don't mean any disrespect..
But when I saw Earl Thomas go down....I just don't see Seattle having a player that can win their match up at any position except for Wagner.
-------
Being at home should make a difference - but it's hard to imagine this one being close.
That said, I'm sure it won't be as bad as last years game....something like 35-13 with the Rams scoring two TDs in the 2nd half to pull away.
--------
We're probably going to get obliterated.
But I've seen so many thrilling down-to-the-last second Seahawks vs Rams games, I won't be shocked if it becomes surprisingly close either.
-------
This is exactly the kind of game we inexplicably win by multiple TD's, then never play nearly as well again and finish 8-8
--------
We are going to get killed...............
-------
Not so sure about that. The Seahawks are going to be amped up and READY for the Rams. Will that be enough? Who knows? Stranger things have happened (Bills destroying the Vikings anyone?) so I definitely like that this is a home game.
If the Rams still blow us out then crown their asses, I would be okay with that.
But this game is in October. How will they look in January? As a Rams fan, you have to admit that is a valid question.
------
We've beaten better Rams teams than this
-------
I just don't get the assuming they will get blown out. But oh well, predictions are like....well you know.
------
It wont be a blowout because the Rams will take their foot off the pedal when the game is in hand (early on). The score wont dictate how lopsided the game truly will be
------
Wow. So, IF the Hawks lose a close game, it's because the Rams were holding back. Not because the Hawks played hard and gave them a good battle. But if the Rams smoke the Hawks, it's because the Hawks suck. Got it.
Rams are the best team in the league, we get it. But my god, this team can do no right by you can they?
-----
Each NFL team is one injury to a star player away from their season being greatly affected, if not making it a total disaster.. Crowning champs, or as some talking heads were claiming the Rams receiver corps could be the best ever before the season is even halfway through is comical.
------
IIRC, Bobby Wagner played hurt (I believe it was a hamstring issue) during the Rams game last season in Seattle. Gurley ran wild on the Seahawks in that game. A healthy Bobby W. will help contain Gurley as they have been able to do so in the past prior to that game. Who knows KJ Wright may be back as well. Hopefully Kendricks gets another week.
-----
The Seahawks need to be stout upfront because without Thomas back there, the secondary has taken a huge blow. McDougald is fine but the rest are shaky - Thompson, Luani, Hill....yikes. Need their best game from the front 7 in this one.
-----
As much as I dislike the Rams, they are one hell of a football team, period.
------
Rams opponents, not including the games they faced the Rams, are 4-7-1 this year. The Rams have also played 3 home games. The Seahawks opponents, assuming Denver hangs on to beat KC, are 6-6 this year. The Seahawks have played 1 home game.
Take that for what it’s worth.
-----
Early spread is the Rams -7.5.
If I were a betting man, I'd take the Seahawks against the spread. We might not win, but we will be in it with an opportunity to win at the end. That may just be the fan in me, because without Earl Thomas, I'm afraid that our secondary will not be able to contain the receivers of the Rams. Goff found the ability to throw the deep ball this past year and without Earl its going to be hard for us to defend. However, RW keeps games close even when we are not favored. Over a touchdown is always too many points to take against him.
