Geno Smith saw no reason to try and downplay the performance the Seattle Seahawks had just put forth. Seattle’s season began with an unexpected flop that left fans booing, players losing control of their emotions and the Seahawks feeling flat outplayed by their division foe. Seattle’s 30-13 loss to the Los Angeles Rams was an immediate wakeup call that last year’s unexpected success and the feel-good story surrounding that team is long in the past. Seattle started this season believing it could be a contender in the NFC West. Instead, Seattle was thoroughly outplayed by a Rams roster that’s undergone major surgery that gutted most of the core from the team that two seasons ago won the Super Bowl.
The league best defense tormented the Seahawks and Russell Wilson topped by a interception 42 yards for a score, and the Rams beat Seattle 30-20 in the NFC wild-card playoff game.
As the draft looms (tomorrow), I won't be able to sleep tonight.
As a Sam Bradford fan, I honestly believe the Rams should use one of their 2 picks (1.2,1.13) on Johnny Manziel. Bradford is due $17 million this year. Seventeen million dollars...
I know I am a man of controversy.
I may also be a man of bias.
If you gave me the choice to build my NFL team around either the offense of the 1999 Rams, or the defense of the 2013 Seahawks, I'd say, "Give me those damn Rams, man."
Why?
Let's make one thing clear: Chris Long does not acknowledge the hashtag. He does not like Martha Stewart's knives. March for Chris Long is spring cleaning for his Twitter.
Unfortunately for Martha Stewart, she was the first to go. Calling her accessories "suspect", Long went right ahead and pushed that "block" button.
