I listened to Gregg Rosenthal’s podcast. He didn’t give the Rams much credit for the win. Mostly he and his cohosts said the Seahawks had a bunch of opportunities to win the game and kept giving it back.
Strange take because I saw the Rams pass rush causing interceptions and I saw a great 4th and 1 stop in OT. I s as Lao saw Stafford carve up that Seahawk defense for the game winner.
Palozolo and Munson barely talked about the game. They made it sound like it was mostly the Seahawks loss rather than a Rams win.
Would you expect anything less? Seattle was the division leader....at home....favored by the oddsmakers, so naturally they were the "better team" going into the game. The only way they could lose is if they fooked up!
Well we won, proved to be the better team and forced them into fook ups. I guess we have to do it again (and again) to get the cred.
But who needs the cred? In all honesty, if we're healthy and at full strength, we beat them 9 out of 10 times*.
*Btw, that 10th time ain't coming this year!!!
Here's an unbiased take from NFL.com.....
"If the Rams can somehow crawl out of the 1-4 hole they dug for themselves to make the playoffs -- making yet
another improbable run -- they might look back at
Sunday's comeback victory in overtime at Seattle as the turning point. Sure, beating the Vikings
in Week 8 was a big step, but by winning this week (without
Puka Nacua, who was ejected in the second quarter), they crossed a huge hurdle, considering the circumstances.
Kamren Kinchens' first career INT was run back
103 yards for a go-ahead score in the fourth quarter.
His second career pick, a few minutes later, was a massive save after the Seahawks blocked a Rams punt deep in their red zone. The Seahawks eventually tied it and forced OT, then
Matthew Stafford's
walk-off TD pass to
Demarcus Robinson ended it in dramatic fashion.
Don't forget the overall work of the Rams' defense, which logged seven sacks and three turnovers, not to mention the key stop on fourth-and-one in OT to set up the game-winner. This team just doesn't quit, even when things are looking rough."
So, for those who believe it was Seattle's errors and not the Rams persistence, the Seahawks 'handed it' to us with mistakes? The blocked punt wasn't a Rams mistake but a great play by Seattle? The interceptions.....both the pick 6 and the one following the blocked punt......wasn't the Rams applying pressure and capitalizing on it but the Seahawks fooking up? The 4th and 1 stop wasn't a great play by the Rams but a mistake by Seattle? I happen to believe the Kinchens pick and return for a TD was a great all around play by the Rams defense and not a poor play by Seattle's offense. Verse hitting Geno's arm. Kinchens picking it off and taking it out of the end zone, with some good blocking and poor pursuit by the quickest guys on Seattle's offense. I think the last line in that NFL.com piece speaks volumes.
