I dont think those numbers were that bad considering that there was no home team to buy tickets to go see.

Again though, attendance is secondary. Its about about eyeballs for TV ratings.

This makes total sense as Gostkowski has been uncharacteristically brutal this year.

Is that Anderson guy who lives in Canmore still kicking?

Does Morten Anderson still live in Canmore? I recall he was coaching football or soccer there years ago.

Gary, looks like he still does (if Wiki is accurate)

Right. They both had long careers and held the NFL record for points but Morton always comes to mind for me for some reason.

Welp, that's one of the best throw and catch combinations I've ever seen. I swear I thought Wilson was just throwing it away when he let it go. Nope, hits a target within... probably less than a foot?

Looked like there was no chance that would be a touchdown

Wilson just threw and equally stupid pass to Dissly for a pretty decent gain. The fact that he throws it with such an arc and just drops it on a tiny area where only his guy can get it, so consistently, is really fun to watch.

Because they didn't go for it?

Yep. Not sure what Myers FG% is this year but the smart move is to go for it there.

Might have cost them the game. Ten point swing.

I didn't realize when I posted that the Rams were getting the ball in the second half. Seems extra egregious knowing that.

There a bunch of huge plays in this game that won't show up on a highlight reel. The 4th and 1, the penalty by Ansah to keep the drive alive on 3rd down before the half, a missed throw low for a clean 3rd down conversion for Wilson, Dickson punt downed at the 1, Goff underthrowing his man on 2nd and 9 from his own end zone... all really huge momentum plays in context.

Wilson's really amazing and totally deserves his giant contract.

Good god I’m reminded how ugly those Seahawks highlighter green jerseys are

Such an eye sore for even a casual fan like me

Really? I like them.

The Seahawks' defense is really letting them down here.
