Seahawks Rebound

I am sure most fans thought the Seahawks would beat the Rams on Thursday Night especially after the game Sunday in Green Bay. The Seahawks so far have won all their games in Seattle this time winning 24-3.

Actually the Rams played better than the score indicated especially if you listen to the players on the Seahawks.  The Seahawks offense and defense both played better on Thursday Night.  Russell Wilson did a much better job throwing and running the ball himself than against the Packers. Of course that hard not to do either; he was able to get touchdown passes to Luke Willson, Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett. As far as receiving the ball it was Lockett best game in his career. He caught a total of seven passes including the touchdown. I expect we will see more games from Lockett like this in the future.

The Seahawks defense was much better against the Rams. This is especially true of the pass rush that had been missing recently. Also Richard Sherman knocked Rams quarterback Jared Goff out of the game with a concussion. Michael Bennett and Jon Ryan both had to leave the game for the Seahawks because of a concussion as well. Ryan’s happened when he ran the ball on a fake punt that got the Seahawks a first down. He bumbled the ball around before going to the ground. I figure he needs to learn how to slide. Bennett and Ryan are both expected to play on Christmas Eve against the Arizona Cardinals.

With the win the Seahawks won the NFC western division once again. They hope to win the final two games so that they can have a bye and play at home as well. Right now though it looks like the Dallas Cowboys should have the home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Thomas Rawls had a hard time running the ball getting only 34 yards on 21 running attempts. It looks like the offensive line needs to get going so the running game will be better. Without a running game it will be hard for the Seahawks to win during the playoffs.

With ten days off before the game against the Cardinals the players will be well rested and ready to go. We look forward to Seahawks to get back on track. So we say Go Hawks!
