I really didn't think the Rams would pull it off, but they darn sure did. Horrific play throwing the ball at a defender... hats off to you, this week anyway....

ps, when do you guys play the 'hags? in your house first? Not that I care about the Rams, it's just that I care about the Seahawks less..:)

I was so happy that one of my favorite players ever, Matt Mulligan, not only caught passes, but scored a touchdown. Woo hoo.

I will get his jersey if he ends up in AZ. :)

We have Seattle coming to the dome in week 4.

I tend to look at the season...and break it down into 4 quarters(games) at a time.

IMO the Rams' goal should be to go 2-2 in the 1st quarter:

@Detroit LOSS
Washington WIN
@Chicago
Seattle

Rams could(and should) find a way to split these two games.
I like our chances with Seattle week 4 in the dome. We'll see.

Bears DLine was way too much to handle for our makeshift OLine and our offense regressed back to sticks and stones as a result. Ugly.

On the brightside the Rams D played very well. They seem to be getting a little better every week.

I really think its time to split the carries between SJ and Daryl Richardson 50/50.

Divisional home games next 2 weeks with Seattle and AZ. Rammies need to get a split to remain relevant.

Yeah,shades of last season :/

At least we've got a competent OLine coach this year,capable of using tape and glue to hold the pieces together.

For all things holy and benevolent, please trounce the Seahawks today! And make sure you put in a ton of effort doing so so you can be nice and tired for Thursday :D

From my fellow Rammie Aeneas1:
"i'm confused... i thought the rams were supposed to be facing one of the best defenses of the last decade? 200 first half yards?"

Seattle came out fast and confident but Wilson is starting to feel the heat. Good to see SJ and D.Rich splitting carries too.

A mistake free 2nd half from Sam and i think we take this.
Come on!

Poetic justice for the Seahawks. Gifted a win last week only to lose to the Rams today. Seahawks now 2-2 (0-2 division).

Just glad Wilson is their QB. He's awful when contained in the pocket.

Thanks for beating the Seahawks!

It will be a close hard fought game to be sure. I'm thinking that the 4th qtr execution and whichever team doesn't make a mistake will take it.

Both offenses are challenged and take the short bus to work everyday....Lol. The Rams will not be surprised by your defense though, which is a good thing having faced Chicago and Seattle the last 2 weeks.

The short week should be a concern to all parties involved. I just hope there aren't any nasty injuries to either team.

Jeff Gordon looks back on the St. Louis Rams’ 19-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome.

THE GOOD

• Rookie Greg Zuerlein is 12 for 12 kicking field goals this season. He nailed four Sunday, including Rams-record-setting bombs from 58 and 60 yards out. The Rams merely have to cross midfield to get into scoring range these days.

• Sam Bradford hit a 52-yard bomb to rookie receiver Chris Givens to establish a deep threat in this offense. A second bomb to Givens was a shade long as the youngster just missed making a diving catch.

• Rams cornerbacks had some fun. Rookie Janoris Jenkins forced an interception (by linebacker Rocky McIntosh) with a big blitz hit. Rookie Trumaine Johnson had a game-shifting pick and Bradley Fletcher sealed the game by making sure of his interception in the waning moments of the game.

• The field goal unit executed a fake perfectly, with Danny Amendola slipping into the right corner of the end zone undetected and punter/holder Johnny Hekker lofting the TD pass to him.

• The makeshift offensive line did a solid job of protecting Bradford, allowing just two sacks. Seattle sacked Aaron Rodgers eight times in one half during its previous game, so this was a big matchup problem for the Rams.

That protection helped Bradford convert enough big third-and-long situations to win the game. A year ago, the Rams had almost no chance on third and long.

• Linebacker Josh Hull made a big special teams play by recovering Seattle's onside kick starting the second half.

• Defensive ends Robert Quinn and Eugene Sims earned sacks as the Rams applied fairly steady pass pressure.

THE BAD

• The Rams defense looked flummoxed on the first series of the game as Seattle marched easily down the field for a 7-0 lead. The unit allowed Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson to buy time with his feet and make plays down the field.

• Overall, the Rams missed what seemed like 1,000 tackles on Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, who rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries.

The Seahawks gashed the Rams front seven for some nice running lanes. Back-up Seattle running back Robert Turbin gained 45 yards on six carries as Seattle stacked up 179 yards on the ground.

• On the other hand, the Rams offensive line didn’t give Steven Jackson or Daryl Richardson much running room. The home team averaged just 2.8 yards on the ground.

THE UGLY

• Bradford took points off the board with an unfortunate interception, aiming for Brandon Gibson’s back shoulder as Gibson turned up field.

• That end-around kickoff return play was not such a good idea, as it turned out. The Seahawks sniffed it out and buried Givens after he took the ball from Amendola. A team trying to play the field position game can't make that kind of mistake.

Good 1st half defensively. Sam has completely disappeared though and its not like he's getting pressured heavily :bang:

If Danny Am is out its going to be tough on 3rd down. More DRich and less SJ!

Who the **** are these refs btw....they're certainly not going to call holding on the cards unless its special teams :rolleyes: Massie holding Long all night...Fitzgerald getting away with murder a couple of times...garbage.

Keep the pressure on Rams...gonna have to make a play on offense though
