Do you see this group of players differently than those from the 2013 team? I guess that team probably had too many "individuals" and "strong personalities" to survive some adversity. Hope this group is different. At least Darnold isn't likely to marry a pop star and go into full weirdo mode.
The thing I keep going back to is how this team rallied after Sam Darnold basically handed the Rams the Division lead a few short months ago. The team had his back, it was a rallying point. Sure, it's not like throwing a pick at the goal line to lose the Super Bowl that appeared to be won, but you are left to wonder how this team would have reacted to that in comparison? The finger pointing was a problem, the blame game. The thing I always went back to is the LOB acting like that play lost the Ring. That play never happens if you don't give up back to back Touchdown drives in the fourth quarter.

I feel this team? Darnold would be taking the blame, and the defense probably wouldn't stand for it. But? No way to really know I guess.

The Rams game was a turning point for me too, as a fan. I wasn't even all that mad after that game. It took four picks inside our own territory and the luckiest punt bounce I've ever seen to beat us. And? Instead of throwing around blame? These guys rallied.
Interesting point, if this game had been lost in some heartbreaking fashion that involved Darnold I'm confident you'd have Ernest Jones telling us to fuck off again.

You'll like this, I think he has a point, and I love it! The Rams balled and still lost. In my mind the season turned on the comeback victory second game. That was a remarkable event. And next season the rivalry is just getting more intense
"I think the L.A. Rams wake up this morning absolutely sick," Shrager said on ESPN's First Take. "They put up 457 yards on that Seahawks defense in Week 16, they put up 581 yards in the NFC Championship.

"If you're Matthew Stafford, if you're Sean McVay, you wake up this morning absolutely ill, having watched that team do what they did to the Patriots and say, how did we not play in that game? I think the Rams are the team with the greatest regret right now."

And this about Stafford in the championship game, I didn't know that. The poor Rams, shoulda, coulda, woulda :lol:
Stafford is the first quarterback in NFL history to lose a playoff game with 350 yards, three touchdowns and no turnovers, showing just how rare a performance it was. According to Stathead research, only seven quarterbacks had ever put up numbers like that in a playoff game, and all seven won

Jones sticking up for his QB. Williams crediting his rookie OG for tipping him on how to get the sack. Just awesome stuff. I LOVE this team.

See this, MM on with Jimmy Kimmel, he handles himself well. He doesn't scream at players. A guy that hasn't played screaming at guys doesn't go over very well...

This team must own some of the craziest statistics in the history of the game. Every time I read a new article, it's something to do with another record being broken, or another stat that screams impossible. It's nuts.

I was talking to a fellow Seahawks fan at the gym last night and I told him, 'Dude, I didn't even think about the game in the two weeks leading up to it because I knew MM was all over it.'

And he says, 'Yea, with Pete gone, my stress level is nonexistent'. :lol:

Agreed, I can't tell if it's just because I'm a seahawks fan but what a crazy season, but it's a fact they were a long shot to make the SB. What's funny too is if the Patriots win they would be rolling out pretty much the same stories just changing the name of the team. That would have been another remarkable story

The five field goals by Myers is a new Super Bowl record.

The 180 total yards his kicks traveled is another record.

Most points by a kicker in a Super Bowl with 17 points.

Myers had a league record 206 points scored in a season, including playoffs.

Interestingly enough, there has never been a punt return TD in the Super Bowl.

On the down side, the Seahawks may have allowed the most 4th quarter passing yardage in SB history. Hopefully that was because they let down the intensity or just got tired. It's too bad, though. They could have had the first SB shut-out ever...

There have been two Super Bowls in which shutouts were averted by special teams TDs, Ravens/Giants (kickoff return) and Dolphins/Redskins (the Garo Yepremian play).

They also tied the SB record with 6 sacks. If the Witherspoon play that resulted in the pick 6 had not been changed from a sack-ff to an int they would have broken it. :x
