Rams-Seahawks Fourth Quarter
The Seahawks keep moving. Even a holding penalty can’t slow them down. Seattle just keeps pounding away.
Duckett rumbles for 30 yards with the Rams in Total Capitulation Mode. Embarrassing. Duckett finishes off the drive himself and Seattle is up 34-13.
Bulger hangs up an interception to make the humiliation complete. He throws every pass off his back foot.
Seattle will grind it out from here, pushing the Rams defensive front around while eating up the remaining clock. Another Mare field field goal makes it 37-13.
Scott Linehan and Al Saunders finally decide to break out the no-huddle offense and it generated some belated life. Torry actually catches a 22-yard pass.
Where was this earlier in the game?
BLOWOUT AFTER BLOWOUT and Linehan survives. Hard working folks buy season tickets and sports merchandise for this type of quality. The RAMS should be ashamed. At least fight but their fight is the point of least resistance. Hope Seattle can break the 50 point barrier so that the Linehan can say nothing but honorably “I RESIGN!”
Surprise, surprise Bulger plays catch with the Seahawks secondary.
You have to put Green in now, don’t you?
Last year it seemed the defense had some spark, at least occasionally. Now they are clearly worse than the offense and that’s saying alot. Whoever said this team is not competitive is completely right. If Seattle wins by another TD or two, I think a shake up happens very soon. If the Rams make it closer, the status quo may continue for awhile. Haslett may be the first to get canned.
When I say ‘lay down’, I mean REALLY lay down. Even more so now that the game is out of reach and Seattle picked it. One play, one pass, Seattle TD.
Scott Linehandusanotherloss will never resign.
Our highly paid veteran QB makes a rookie mistake with the INT. Pia has been loafing all day at LB without any pursuit at all. Sit the players down that don’t want to hustle! I miss London Fletcher! Jackson - stop trying to dance around tackles - run through them!!
Nothing to say but they have to burn this thing to the ground and start over. There is ZERO leadership or accountability at any level of this organization.
I don’t blame Chip for this embarrassment… yet. But I think he needs to be aware of the politicking for jobs going on in the front office. I always believed Zygmunt was more of a problem than Martz ever was… now I know I was right. Not that Martz should have been allowed to blow up the team, but he at least knew football. Shaw is a ghost, and there are no obvious choices to clean up this mess within the present hierarchy at Rams HQ. Vermeil seems disinterested. Faulk wants back into the business; why not bring him on board as a consultant and ask who he thinks might be a good mid-season replacement? Because Shaw and Zygmunt are completely incapable of caring or doing the right thing any more. And at this point, who are the choices, besides Marty Schottenheimer, who would be fine for 2/3 of a season, but I’m not game on him long-term?
Buffalo next week. Not the greatest team, but neither is Seattle. The bye and then Washington and Dallas, LOL. The game against Dallas, man, maybe the Rams should forfeit that one.
