Just to note that the Rams’ special teams coach has apparently been fired. I don’t mean to chortle. A human being lost his job. He’ll get another, but it still sucks.
Also, I’ve watched the DHall thing a couple times, still not sure what I’m seeing. In one version he’s a jerk I don’t want on the team. In another, it’s just a stumble…
I'm watching the Detroit vs. Pitt. game, and it seems that our man, DK Metcalf, just got into a heated argument with a Lions fan. Even the fans get into his head. I'm OK with the trade.
I second that. The Steeler's switched out a mouthy and personal foul prone player for a mouthy, personal foul prone and fan punching player. Then they doubled down and gave him a big raise.
I really do not understand the mentality of some of the professional athletes. They are literally living a dream life and some exhibit the emotional intelligence of a two year old. The Antonio Brown, Puka Nacua and DK's of the world, I just do not get.
I don't think we're the only animal...but the point remains. Playoff football started for us already. I was worried we'd go into the post season without being truly tested. Well, I think I can safely say we will be tested and if we pass those tests I'm hopeful that translates into success. Playing indy LA Car and SF to close out the year seems like a good test to see where you stand going into the post season. But we gotta handle our business. Win every game.
I agree with you. I don’t let myself get caught up in rooting for outcomes we don’t control. Sure it would be nice for the Rams and 49ers to lose, and I enjoy every loss they have. But what I think feels more important, is controlling our destiny for the division title and number 1 seed. We had it before the first loss to the Rams, and now we have it again. If we can’t beat the Panthers and the 49ers, that’s on us. If we get to week 18 and have already secured the number 1 seed, I get that we can rest our veteran starters. That would be nice, but getting the one seed should be the number one priority. After all, Seattle was the one seed three times, and all three of those times they went to the Super Bowl. Everyone will get to rest wild card weekend, and we’ll only need to win two home playoff games to go to the Super Bowl.
One thing I wanted to mention, the blitz rate in the first half when our defense struggles against the Rams was 38%. It fell to 16% in the 2nd half. Stafford gets rid of the ball too fast, and the loss of pass defenders seem to make it easier for him to find an open target. Trust the front four.
I said “no” because the answer wasn’t fully “yes”. I honestly needed the “I’m of both minds” option

💯
The turd formerly known as DK just threw a punch at a fan in the Lions game. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am he is not a Seahawk.

I am glad we have JSN.
Did yall just see DK punch a fan in the stands?

Your post about specials tams going into the Lambs game was spot on. Great work sir!
