This is probably the toughest one of the year for me to try and predict. The Rams are hot, and playing solid ball on all sides, offense, defense, and special teams.with all that said, I still predict that we’re going to kick their asses this weekend, not by much, probably by a little.
I look to see our defense shut down Girley, shut down their run game, and force them to the air, where we should be able to capitalize, by forcing them into making a lotta mistakes.
That should allow us the turnovers and sacks that we need to put ourselves out and ahead of them before the end of the game.
I’ll look for the Rams to come out strong early, and try to set Seahawks behind, but most likely it’s going to go the other way where we’re going to take an early lead, and then just slow the whole game down by running the ball, converting on 3rd downs, stretching the clock out as we go along.
That was the formula we shared with the rest of the NFL the last time we played the Rams, and the same one the Saints just borrowed from us to end the Rams winning streak last weekend. It looks like McKissick isn’t gonna play this game, we could sure as hell use him in this one though.
Chris Carson will kill himself for the Hawks and the 12. If he is good to go, and more importantly if he doesn’t have to take to the bench half way thru the game again. Davis and Penny can all contribute, there is nothing the Rams can do to stop us from running them into the ground ?
If we can succeed in our running the ball, even when they know we’re going to run it, and discover that can’t stop us, Is the precise moment the outcome off this game will be decided. They’ll know it and do will we.
Seahawks 28 - Rams 21 Seahawks go 5-4 and Rams go 8-2 in this one.
Go Seahawks! Super Bowl Bound.
