Week 3: Rams at Seahawks, Sep 21, 2008, game thread

St. Louis Rams @ Seattle Seahawks

The time has come for the Rams to erase the painful memories of a difficult/embarrassing start to the season. At this point, nothing less than a win may be acceptable, as the schedule doesn't get any friendlier for a long time. Jobs depend on it. A loss this week, particularly one as ugly as the last two, most certainly will herald regime change at Rams Park; what part of the regime remains to be seen.

Two big injuries to report: RDE Leonard Little and LG Jacob Bell are questionable.

The Seahawks are also looking to get on track and get their first win of the season, in what they've got to be thinking of as a lay-up. Better watch that. For the Seahawks perspective, visit our friends over at Field Gulls.

What else is there to say?

GO RAMS!!

alright Rams

Oakland and KC are showing signs of life, and Miami’s thumping the Pats…today’s the day.

Doesn't look like the Rams are on AFN

Too bad. I’d love to see if we could continue the trend on “Upset Sunday”

Really?

That game had ‘Game of the Week’ written all over it!

anyone see the Ronnie Brown highlights?

they’ve been snapping to him directly with success. He broke off a long TD run on one of them. I wonder about trying that play with Steven Jackson? He’d have to get good blocking, but he’d also have some distance to get his wheels up to full speed.

Thoughts?

by VanRam on Sep 21, 2008 2:28 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

Yes - impressive

R&R are a great team. Last time I checked Ricky didn’t have the points but was averaging over 6 yards a carry. They both are running strong. Hopefully we pound the ball today all day. Assuming we don’t get behind. GO RAMS!

Positive outlook

OK -

I’ve had a busy and productive weekend. The Rams are on TV and I can enjoy a competitive match between division rivals. Should things go as they did in the past two weeks – I have a bottle standing by.

Field Goal – NOT BAD (for us)

Ouch

So much for the line holding…

by arctikphox on Sep 21, 2008 3:18 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

And I thought

the Rams might actually win today. Seattle didn’t look very good in its previous two games, either.

And sadly, they are in a rebuilding year, I guess. The Rams will go through 1-2 years of those once Linehan gets fired.

(Okay, it’s only 10-0 Seattle, but it feels worse)

Are those vultures I saw circling around Qwest Field??

I guess I'm glad I can't watch.

I have ESPN’s GameCast on, and I’m just glad not to have to watch what’s going on.

STILL?

Still not in the red zone and we only had to go FIVE yards, this is awful.

I've already drained one

and I have another one on deck!

Odds on this being the current coaches last game?

I think there is a 75% chance he’s done should this game continue as is.

TRADE JACKSON FOR A DEFENSE!

Good Grief

208 total Yds for Seattle ot our 14. Happily this game is not telivised in my area. I don’t suppose anyone who can see the game has noticed any redeeming features.

by WestCoastBuc on Sep 21, 2008 4:08 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

none

nothing at all.

Nice to see Avery playing at least...

And makes the Rams biggest play (drawing a 15 yard penalty)

In a way, I was hoping we could

go another game without a trip there. At least I could then say to my friends – “well, your team may be 3-0 but mine actually brought down a sophisticated computer program that analyizes red zone performance because it couldn’t handle a team that had never been there.”
