They could have Screech from Saved by the Bell at QB and we still wouldn't be able to beat them by more than one score.

Good God - it's the Lambs, so naturally it'll be a miserable f*cking slog as always. 16-13 hawks because we cannot curb stomp this team for some reason. Honestly, I won't be at all surprised if the Lambs win this - that's just how this series is - lambs are seattle's kryptonite no matter the roster quality.

LOL, you're right. Maybe it will be more high-scoring, like 17-16. That would be a barn-burner for this matchup.

Rams were 19th in yards allowed last season. Did they get better? I will not be happy if we score less than 20 points....

as long as Aaron Donald and Sean McVay are alive the Seahawks will never blow out the Rams. It'll be a one score game, we can only hope it goes our way. Rams 24-23

I just read this. Donald is now 32 yo so hoping he has declined a bit. I just read this from 12thmanrising:
Seahawks offensive line vs. Rams DT Aaron Donald
The Los Angeles Rams lost a ton of talent this offseason, but they still have arguably one of the best players to ever play in the NFL. Aaron Donald might be the greatest defensive tackle in history, and if the Pro Football Hall of Fame made an exception to just go ahead and enshrine a current player then Donald would likely be that guy.

In 2022, Seattle got really lucky in that Donald was injured for both games the Rams and Seahawks would have played so Geno Smith and his offense never faced Donald. But in the 16 games Donald has played the Seahawks in his career, Donald has 15 sacks and 41 quarterback hits. Saying Donald has been a menace to Seattle would be underselling what a wrecking ball Donald has been to the Seahawks offense.

Seattle needed to get bigger and stronger at center this year and they did by signing center Evan Brown. Damien Lewis is a good left guard and right guard Phil Haynes can run block. But because Los Angeles lost so much talent this offseason, the Seahawks focus will be in keeping Donald from singularly disrupting Geno Smoth and friends. If Seattle is success doing so, that could go a long way toward winning the game.

that got me thinking that this will be a REALLY good test for Evan Brown and Phil Haynes. If they can keep Donald at bay, the season looks promising.

If they can't,well it's Aaron Freaking Donald. I really want to hate him like I do most Rams, but he is just so damn good I can't help but admire him.

Jeez I swear we beat them good at least once last season but only by 3 both times including 16-13. lol

Nothing was worse than we we came down to LA to play in the Roman Gladiator Coliseum and watched them lose 9-3 though. lol
ha! I think that is literally the last time I drank BUD LIGHT (at that tail gate we went to!). Is it weird that, ever since that day I've had these urges to wear skirts, heels and this strong desire "transition" and choose new pronouns? is that just a concidence? have you been raiding Lynda's wardrobe since that day? Whoa - plot twist - you DID transition to Boston... :lol:
