I've been waiting on a thread like this. The gloom and doomers need to realize that this wasn't a horrible loss. The Rams always play us tuff. There were plenty of positives to build on.
Wilson managed to complete over 78% of his throws (some were bubble screens, yes, but he did an adequate job executing what was called). He also threw a TD to Graham and had one that bounced off the chest of Willson. He should have done better in the red zone, but haters got their wish with running Lynch and failing several times in the redzone and Russell was probably a little gun shy from the SB and didn't want to turn it over. A 90.1 quarterback rating isn't too shabby.
Other than a few very harmful miscommunications and tragic mistakes in the secondary, I thought the defense played pretty well. The DL was getting to the QB and the run was pretty contained--only 2.9 yards per carry and 76 total yards. That's not bad.
Lockett. He's a stud.
Graham looked very good in the second half after the offense found a rhythm
Only 4 punts by Seattle all game long. That shows sustained drives and good clock management. We didn't fail quite as horribly as some on here would have us believe.
Haters got their wish--flash back to the Super Bowl. One yard to go to decide the game and who gets the ball? Beast Mode! Didn't work out that well, but we got to see Lynch try to get us one yard to sustain the drive.
Any other day, I believe we beat this Rams team with the game we executed. I think most of the blame, if there is blame, is at the secondary for leaving folks wide ass open with several 30+ yard gains including the game-tying TD in the last minute. Without that, we win and win easily.
