That may be the case, and as much as i despise the sea chickens, I respect your coach and your team. You guys made a lot of headway this season when most though you'd be 8-8 at best. But again, right now, the Rams are on top.

You keep saying that

right now, the Rams are on top

like you need to remind yourself of the fact, most here thought we would be resetting and that the Rams would be a placeholder while we recalibrate. You all have done a great job as the B team, next season I think there may be a bit of a struggle to maintain that however.

Placeholder eh?

So over the last decade you guys have finished first 4 times. We are now at 2 over the last decade and back in the playoffs. If calling us a ‘B team’ makes you feel better then continue labeling us as that. But the facts are the facts: we are the better team in back to back seasons. And least I remind you that since 2014 you are 3-7 against us, so it actually looks like it may be a bit of a struggle for you to keep up with our new high powered attack.

Selective arn't we, lets go back to 2002, we been kicking ass in this division for 18 years.

"D team" fits the facts a lot better.

Since NFC West realignment (2002) the Seahawks are first with a point differential of +855. The 49ers are second with a point differential of -702. The Cardinals are third with a point differential of -771. The Rams bring up the rear with a point differential of -1032. In order to "catch up" to a +855 point differential the Rams would need to duplicate their performance from this last season (+143 point differential) for 13 straight seasons.

You definitely are the team to beat, considering you won the division. That being said, 7 points was the difference between us winning the division and you winning the division. We're a lot closer than you think.

I'm not really sure where this was disputed? You keep saying it as though I'm saying it's not true. Is it one of those things where you were bad for so long you need to keep repeating you're the best in the division to help forget how easy it is to be bad?

Read some of your posters comments, it has been disputed as ‘luck’ and ‘flavor of the month’. Instead, how about just giving credit where it’s due. Which, there are a few on here who are respectful and pragmatic. Overall, not so much, which is expected coming over as a division rival fan.

Chris you know as well as I do.... this is a "What have you done for me lately" ordeal... just like every sport. Im sure our team will be 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th in the division one day. And Lately, we've been kicking your rear end. And lets be frank shall we? This division has been crap for a good long while... With my team leading the charge.

I haven't been on .NET much since the loss because of all the negativity. I get it, I really do. It was not how we should have gone out. I won't even discuss the particulars since they have been drilled in ad nauseam. Ever since 2013 when we finally won it all, I have found it incredibly difficult to get as bent out of shape as I used to over a loss. Especially a playoff loss. Sure, I still get angry, I still emote in ways my family would prefer I didn't - I'm not dead after all - but something changed in me the day we won it all on February 2nd, 2014.

I thought for sure we would beat the Cowboys. I felt we matched up well against them. I assumed a close win by 3 or so. Unfortunately they won by 2. Not a shock. Dak played the game he needed to in order to pull it out. So when I came to the site to decompress, I guess I shouldn't have been all that surprised with the haters coming back out from the shadows. The negativity on what to me was one hell of an impressive season given the circumstances, was, well, disappointing.

So I end with this. I friggin' LOVE this team. I love Pete Carroll, John Schneider, what Solari has done to take our worthless OL and turn them into one of the better lines in the league. I love the heart and pain Carson delivers on every play that we haven't seen since Lynch's hey day.

I love the blend of new, young talent buying in, mixed with just the right amount of savvy veterans. I love Russ' eternal optimism and ability to keep the team in every single game every single year.

I love the passion from all of you 12's. Even those we label "haters". After all, nothing kills a franchise more than apathy.

2019 is already set up to be a fantastic season. I can't even wait. GO HAWKS!!

And lately for 18 years the Rams have been washing the Jocks of the 49ers. Cards, and Seahawks with your 8-8 and 7-9 seasons. You have 2 years of playing decent football and want us to man crush your team, Chip Kelly did about the same thing.



Oh and if you look up this is a Seahawks Site and our main forum about the Seahawks, not the NFL forum, we credited the Rams with having a good year, thats about as far as your going to get, we all expected it.


When your Florida Marlin team finishes the year and needs to make everyone happy we will see where your at, regardless, we are not going away, in fact you don't have time to look over your shoulders we are that close, if the 49ers are what they were with Grappalo then thats two teams hunting your Rams. Being the Hunted is a lot different then Hunting.


But your Rams don't know that yet.

And we may not know it for a while if the trend of winning continues. What leads you to believe that we won’t be as good as we have?... Please, spare me the ‘how are you gonna pay everyone’ cliche remark. Barron, Joyner, and even Suh are most likely gone and won’t be here next season, and all of them are replaceable based on production this season. If you don’t think we can draft well, then you’re mistaken because all the newbies are contributing right now.

Being hunted as you say is fine, when you have an alpha male in McVay and Co. you feel pretty confident that a ‘Miami Marlins’ situation is obsolete and irrelevant.

If you are scared of Garapolo then that’s on you... let’s see how that ages. ukeface:

Not scared of Grappolo, but he has that factor that makes them click and whats more is the team believes in him and that is whats dangerous about him.

Trends get broken, when the Rams play a team that is their equal they struggle, on the road they will get a test of their abiloity to play in a non familiar sitituation, Rams fans do not travel well, heck they don't even go to home games, why I think the Saints have a hole card. If you don't win it all this year the following years are going to be harder for you, thats what is going to be trending.

First off, I really despise that my thread has turned into a pissing match with a divisional rival fan.

Secondly, I think you are a decent guy, nowhere near the trolls we have dealt with over the years. However, it behooves me to remind you that referring to the Seattle Seahawks in the antiquated derogatory term "Sea Chickens" isn't going to win you any points in a well-established Seahawks fan forum (even if it was tongue-in-cheek). Respect is a two way street.

If I was to go on one of the top Rams forums and state somewhere in my post something about the "Lambs" I would fully expect to get the treatment I deserve.

The NFL is cyclical. The Seahawks have clearly demonstrated a great degree of success since Mike Holmgren took over the helm in 1998. I won't bother with stats. The Rams haven't been in the conference championship since, what, 2001? That's okay, not a slam, just an observation. Currently the Rams are enjoying success. Just like one day the 49ers will, the Cardinals will, and so on. Hell, even the Browns are on the rise!

Back to the point of my thread, as an Original 12 (1976), I am damn proud of my team on so many levels. I remember all too well the dark days of this franchise (the 1990's were for the most part a walking, breathing nightmare). So even in a so-called "Rebuilding" year to be 10-6, make the playoffs and take the top team in the division within a few measly points in both games? Yeah, I am thrilled about it, and more importantly thrilled that we are once again going to be a thorn in the Rams side moving forward.

Go Saints. :stirthepot:
