Sean McVay is officially 6-3 against the Seahawks, but... lets toss out the first game as warm up :cool: and we’re 6-2 since.

We own these bastards.

Even Jeff Fishers Rams were beating the Seahawks very frequently. We always seem to bring our A game against the sea pigeons.

IMO it’s been the pass rush (AD & company). Plus, the early part of the series had a healthy T Gurley.

Since 2000, it seems like the only Rams teams that didn't have the Seahawks number were the Sam Bradford/Musical Chairs QB teams of the early 2010s.

We know how to defend Russell Wilson and have had the players to get it done.

Darious Williams, Jalen Ramsey and Leonard Floyd, along with AD99 tormented RW all season.

Yeah - will see what Waldron & Dickerson do upfront? Everett will help out as well. I actually think the Hags finish 4th in the NFC West.

I can think of a million reasons. But this sums up my feelings.

Is a “why do we own the Cardinals” thread coming next, or would “who doesn’t?” pretty much cover that topic?

My guess is the pass rush..... Even when the Rams weren't a good team, we had a strong defensive line and was therefore able to generate at least some sort of pass rush. Before we had Donald we were still getting 5-6 sacks on Wilson with Quinn and Long coming off the edges. Russel Wilson's style of play just happens to get dampened a lot by a strong pass rush, which is why we're able to constantly get so many sacks, and consistently keep games close.

Then you add in McVay and an offense that can move the ball, and it shows why they're having trouble with us now. They've beaten us three times, and two of those losses McVay put the team in a position to win, but there was the Kupp dropped TD his rookie year and then GZ missed from a range he usually was pretty automatic from, so you can make an argument that from a coaching standpoint McVay has really only failed once.. And that's without looking back at the game we lost in December to see what the issues were.
