I mean normally I'd be pretty annoyed at Carroll for kicking from 50 on 4th and 1, but yeah first to 9 wins so take them points.

So far this game is going according to the script I alluded to earlier in the week.. Super slow Wilson start.

Inveriably there will be the ”4th quarter game winning drive" stat trotted out when the game is 9-3 LA and Wilson may finally decide to use his legs like he seems to be thinking he is too good for these days.

But, leaving it until the 4th quarter is leaving little margin for error.

Eh, it's Myers. He doesn't seem to miss. That's not really that long a field goal for him.

At least he figured out he could run on that third down, even though he came up a few inches short. That bodes well. They need to take a couple shots, though.

EDIT: That right there is why people call Adams a linebacker. How do you let him catch that ball?

It's never the FG length, unless its end of half or end of game you go for it every time. It's like hitting on 16 at Blackjack, just do it.

I hear you, but... it is the Rams.

I know which is why I'm giving him a pass. It's a FG game, clearly.

Well that might be game. Great play by Williams/terrible block from Swain.

Yeah, Wilson needs to score before the half or that might be it.

It's entirely ridiculous by Wilson to be laser focused on Metcalf for that drive and that particular play.

After whatever the spat DK had with Caroll and Wilson tried to smooth over, it was clear he was going to get the ball this drive. When the Seahawks lined up in the bunch formation with Metcalf behind, everyone saw that coming.

I'm always unsure whether to be impressed and baffled, but when QBs like Russ and Mahomes get 5 yards past the line and STILL get the defender to bite on the pump fake.

The Seahawks offensive line is so, so bad.

EDIT: Well there you go, Metcalf, happy now? That was an absurd throw. Where does that come from? I mean holy crap.

Carroll is definitely the worst challenger in the league. Just brutal waste there.

Seahawks lead the league in terrible challenges.

Wow worst challenge ever here. He's easy a yard behind the LOS on that.

Like that is just a challenge made out of anger that they converted. Grab a bat and smash a Gatorade jug or whatever, but to burn a challenge like that is so bad.

So the offense does something good and the defense just completely folds and hands the Rams an easy drive.

Good if you like defense. The Rams defense is legit.

Cowardly team deserves to lose.

I swear, for a team that has been pretty good for a decade, it's frustrating cheering for them. This year especially. It feels a lot like the mid-2000s Hasselbeck years.
