Didn't know where to put this but I thought about this today..
Rams were a playoff caliber team from 1999-2004, making the playoffs five out of six years, winning the division three times and winning one super bowl.
Seahawks have been a playoff caliber team from 2012-2017, making the playoffs five out of six years, winning the division three times and winning one super bowl.
The Rams won 64 games in these six seasons.
The Seahawks won 65 games in these six seasons.
The Rams had a historically good unit in their offense that led the way, while sporadically having a good/bad defense.
The Seahawks had a historically good unit in their defense that led the way, while sporadically having a good/bad offense.
The division was torn away from the Rams in 2004 by a young Seahawks team with an underrated QB, an MVP caliber RB and overall a superior roster.
The division was torn away from the Seahawks in 2017 by a young Rams team with an underrated QB, an MVP caliber RB and overall a superior roster.
Slowly over a painful period of time, the Rams transitioned from the offense being the identity to the defense - even though it still wasnt great.
***This is where the comparison will end for you guys - mercifully. Wilson will not allow the Seahawks to go so low. But with the somewhat obvious transition of the Seahawks strength being offense going forward, I thought this was an interesting comparison, and the more I dug into how similar the success was, I thought it was interesting.
