LA Rams @ Seattle Seahawks

6:30pm ET

[–] Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Holy crap that taunting penalty was a massive mistake.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

That changed the momentum.

[–] Mim@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Starts at 0:30 over here and I have to work tomorrow :/

HORNS UP, GO RAMS!

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

good god. where are you? Europe?

[–] Mim@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Yup. Germany to be exact.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Wow refs are REALLY helping out Rams. They stopped the game for 2 minutes to let Sean McVay decide if he wants to challenge the call or not and didn't charge him for the time out? That's some BS

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Both offenses seem to be moving well against stout defenses in the early going.

[–] Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Man, what an answer to that muffed punt! The Rams have too much experience to just go away.

[–] noahm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That drive was something to see.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are they allowed to slam the QB like that in a sack? I thought it was against the rules!

[–] noahm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think the Seahawks fans in the stadium saw it the way you did. It’s a penalty if you drive the qb into the ground, but they didn’t do that here. It looked clean to me.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I am pretty sure they put in a rule against slamming down QBs after Doug Flutie got slammed on the ground during a sack in San Diego way back in 90s I think. I don't think he played another game after that.

[–] noahm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not sure about the rule, but I know Flutie played in this game (after the 90’s)

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah I forgot the years (just looked up. 2001) but after that year (after that game) he was pretty much done. He was too little the linemen too big and they tossed him around and slammed him on the field like a ragdoll. He was a tough MF to still be able to function after those punishments. And I remember watching that game!

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

This game is nuts.

[–] Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It feels like Matthew Stafford is going to will this team to a win

[–] Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] noahm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Hard to do without the ball…

[–] noahm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As someone who’s spent almost my whole life (so far) between New England and Seattle… damn now I’m torn.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Pretty simple to me. Hawks don't have as many superbowls. Darnold is a redemption story.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

That was a game saving tackle lol

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Let's see if defenses start to handle the offenses here. It's still low scoring but there's been only 1 punt in the entire half so far. Tells you offenses have been moving the ball against these tough defenses.

[–] noahm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Ooof, that muffed punt hurts!

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

NFL really lucked out this weekend, a good chunk of the country is snowed in with nothing better to do than watch the game, but both games are outside the storm.

[–] burble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Denver turned into a snow game at the end, but it's nothing compared to if the game had been in Buffalo or Foxborough

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

If that game were in the Northeast, they probably would have pulled it back to Saturday

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (5 children)

New England Patriots @ Denver Broncos

3:00pm ET

[–] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Let's go Pats!

[–] Mim@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ooof. What the fuck was that, Denver?!?

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That was closer than I thought without bo

[–] noahm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeaaaaaaahhhhh!!

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Stidham is who we thought he was.

[–] noahm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah, he was a backup in New England when it came time to think about who was going to replace Brady. If Stidham was the guy, they’d have kept him. He wasn’t a disaster, but there’s a reason he’s not a starter in the NFL.

[–] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That wasn't much of a game, terrible conditions for the 2nd half there

[–] Nusm@peachpie.theatl.social 3 points 1 month ago

See, I LOVED those conditions for a Championship game! The game play got poor, but hey, gotta figure out how to play in those conditions if your team is in Denver or New England.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

My season ended in Mid-December when Mahomes got injured. And this was also right around when the news broke that Clark Hunt successfully held our team for ransom to get his six billion from the public that he doesn't need, and that's going to hurt the public on the Kansas side even though they don't realize it yet.

So I'm not massively interested in football right now.

For those of you who are into these last three games, I hope you enjoy them. Cheers.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

All those player association surveys say Chiefs have the cheapest owners so I'm not surprised. He's gotta treat the players better after all the superbowl wins.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I wouldn't count on it. Clark isn't exactly loyal.

He ditched the city that spent the last 50 years contributing to his family's obscene wealth like it was nothing.

I hope Clark Hunt gets ass cancer.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Fuckin capitalists.

[–] ea6927d8@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This shit is rigged, I'm tellin' ya.
