      Wow refs are REALLY helping out Rams. They stopped the game for 2 minutes to let Sean McVay decide if he wants to challenge the call or not and didn’t charge him for the time out? That’s some BS

      Are they allowed to slam the QB like that in a sack? I thought it was against the rules!

        I think the Seahawks fans in the stadium saw it the way you did. It’s a penalty if you drive the qb into the ground, but they didn’t do that here. It looked clean to me.

          I am pretty sure they put in a rule against slamming down QBs after Doug Flutie got slammed on the ground during a sack in San Diego way back in 90s I think. I don’t think he played another game after that.

              Yeah I forgot the years (just looked up. 2001) but after that year (after that game) he was pretty much done. He was too little the linemen too big and they tossed him around and slammed him on the field like a ragdoll. He was a tough MF to still be able to function after those punishments. And I remember watching that game!

      As someone who’s spent almost my whole life (so far) between New England and Seattle… damn now I’m torn.

        Pretty simple to me. Hawks don’t have as many superbowls. Darnold is a redemption story.

      Both offenses seem to be moving well against stout defenses in the early going.

      Let’s see if defenses start to handle the offenses here. It’s still low scoring but there’s been only 1 punt in the entire half so far. Tells you offenses have been moving the ball against these tough defenses.
