Seahawks Destroyed in Biggest Game of the Year

The Seattle Seahawks Sunday after lost their biggest game of the year up to date against the Los Angeles Rams 42-7. The game started out with a fumble by the Seahawks however the defense was able to stop the Rams then and the next time the Rams by giving up two field goals but after that the defense and offense went nowhere but downhill.

An example where the Seahawks failed terribly on defense the Rams had third down and 33 yards to go for a first down. The Rams ran the ball thinking that they would likely have to punt the ball instead it turned into a touchdown. I am not sure if I have ever seen a play like that before but that was the kind of day the Seahawks had. They didn’t look like a team that was competing for the division lead and a spot in the playoffs instead they looked like the worst team in the league.

Bobbie Wagner started the game despite having a very bad hamstring. After the game Earl Thomas said that he thought that Wagner shouldn’t have played in the game. It is hard to know whether he participating in the game made that big of a difference though he had trouble on the field. Other players asked him to leave as well so he would be available to play against the Cowboys next week.

The offense was so poor as well that they were lucky in my mind to score the one lone touchdown in the game. Russell Wilson had to run for his life the whole game. In one instance he threw the ball away from the line of scrimmage that went out of bounds. It was considered a fumble since he threw it backwards.

The game could have been worse since the Rams scored thirty-four of the forty-two points in the first half. It was such a bad game that fans booed rightfully when the team went off the field at half time. They did applaud the players when they made a good play however that didn’t happen often. I don’t remember a game played by the Seahawks in a long time. Obviously it was the fault of the coaches well as the players. The Rams were ready to play while the Seahawks were not. It isn’t easy when a lot of your top defensive players are out for the game or season. The Seahawks will need to win the remaining two games against the Cowboys and the Cardinals to make the playoffs. It hasn’t helped at all that the offense hasn’t been able to run the ball all season and this game the passing game wasn’t any better.

Whether the Seahawks win either of the two remaining games or not I hope to see a team that will compete and not have both sides of the ball play poorly. The Seahawks will have to depend on other teams like Atlanta to lose for them to find themselves in the playoffs. Of course it will be difficult in the playoffs since they will likely have to play on the road. In any case we hope that they play well and foremost the injured players get well for next season. We now will continue to root for them. Go Hawks!!
