Stop/Limit Puka & your absolutely in this game. Not worried about Davante sorely focused on Puka. Rush 3-4 drop the rest. I doubt MM does that much blitzing here. I wouldn't. Limit the big the plays. Same as Pete, you win the toss you defer that simple. Go punch them in the F'ing mouth. If you can knock Stafford out all the better.

MM doesn't generally do much blitzing, he did last week which was interesting

Rams currently 3.5 point favorites. I think if the Seahawks lose but look competitive that will still be a positive outcome. The season finale will more likely be the game that determines the division champ.
Agreed. Seattle has a lot of youth - Emmanwori hasn't even played the Lambs yet - we need to see how he is gooing to be used - he should be a huge x factor, expecially if Earnest Jones is out. We're gonna need another LB type player to handle TE's, and it'll probably be on him. This should really be a great chess match - and we still have Rasheed to play with - could be a problem for LA. A Seattle win would not suprise me at all, our defense is punishing, but give McVey and CO their due -they are big brother - until we usurp them. That is no knock on Seattle, that is a fierce team, but less experienced and we have yet to see if MM can win this chess match. By the end if the season, if Seattle is healthy, no one is going to want to play them. Late season home game against the lambs could be the changing of the guard - Darnold needs to get past the Lambs - he had a stinker last time.

Yeah, I see it really as a bigger game for the Rams, they are trying to hold service. Losing it isn't ending the seahawks season but winning it could make their season

It doesn't make sense to me to say drop back and cover and punch them in the mouth in the same paragraph.
If the Seahawks can heavily pressure Stafford, they have a great chance to win.
Vikings fans still throw shade at Darnold for his game against the Rams last year. This is basically a playoff game,
so we will get a good idea just what the real Sam Darnold is all about.

This is something I've been meaning to bring up. It's all offense and defense, how about special teams? The seahawks STs has been tremendous this season. And it could be the difference Sunday.
FTN Fantasy chief analytics officer Aaron Schatz, who is the creator of the DVOA metric, reported this will be the 26th matchup between the top two DVOA teams in the regular season since 1978, and the fourth in the past three seasons.

So what exactly separates the Seahawks from the Rams as the No. 1 team in DVOA? Schatz explained during a conversation with Seattle Sports’ Bump and Stacy on Tuesday.

“The difference between Seattle and the Rams is almost entirely special teams, where Seattle is No. 2 and I have the Rams 23rd,” Schatz said.

Hopefully the incredible success will lead him to do more of it. I can't believe Lawrence won DPOW over Knight. Two strip sacks resulting in fumbles are massively bigger than just picking a perfectly bouncing football up and just jogging into the endzone. It was great he was in the back field but more right place at the right time.

There are trade-offs, you leave yourself open to get burned if you try it too much. That they have maintained so much pressure without blitzing is what's crazy. I'll leave it to MM how much to dial them up
