Teams with a better record than the Seahawks that aren't in the playoffs

[Rams Fan]

Let the fun begin:

Tampa Bay and NYG: 10-6

San Diego: 9-7

Jacksonville and Oakland:8-8

Time to watch Seattle get their asses kicked next week.

[WebGem]

Poor Rams.

[Ceej]

Teams that only put up 6 points against the Seahawks with playoffs riding on the line...




Rams.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Bitter, party of one: Your table is ready.

[Buck]

So are the Chargers the only 9-7 team?

What if the league did this:

Force the division winner to play a one-game playoff with the runner up that finished with the best record.

Teams who lost to the Seahawks led by Charlie Whitehurst with playoffs on the line...


Rams.

[Rams Fan]

Poor Rams.

Meh, I'm over it for now. Just means next year is the year the Rams kick some ass. But the schedule won't be easy. The Rams face the NFC East next year, plus New Orleans and Green Bay, and I think the AFC North. Let the fun begin...

[Gadzooks]

The league would like an expanded idea of this due to added revenue but it would extend the season to St. Patrick's day.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Teams whose Head Coach makes Herm Edwards look like Don Coryell?

I guess the Whitehurst trade paid off for them. Poor Rams.

yeah you could call it the wild card game or something

[58kcfan89]

Saw a tweet or something earlier that said if Seattle had lost, they would have had the 8th overall pick in the draft. Unbelievable. I know it's not gunna happen, but it'd be nuts it they found a way to beat the Saints.

[Hammock Parties]

ROFL

Well, no, not exactly, because the other team would be one of the teams that missed the playoffs.

[KurtCobain]

It's too fucking funny the rams blew it.

I thought better of Bradford.

[Basileus777]

The Bucs lost to the Lions at home with their season on the line, the Giants gave up 28 points in 7 minutes. They don't get to blame anyone else.

[Rams Fan]

It's too ****ing funny the rams blew it.

I thought better of Bradford.

The whole offense was shit today, not only Bradford.

[Ceej]

Teams whose quarterbacks have a great, parted dude fro and look 14 years old that are not in the playoffs?

Rams.

[|Zach|]

Can we make a thread for the Rams and Raiders fans to do whatever the fuck they have to do to make themselves feel better.

[Wyndex]

Why do people insist the Rams blew it? Seattle is a tough place to play, if I was a betting man I would have put it all on Seattle with a rookie qb coming to town

Led by the salty, raw Charlie Whitehurst and virtually no running game?


You've got grande juevos to say you'd put it all on Seattle.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Because they did blow it.

The dropped numerous passes in huge situations, Bradford threw a boneheaded INT, and Spags failed to challenge 3 different plays that all would have gone in his favor and potentially could have changed the game.

Two shitty teams played, and the home team won. Nothing shocking happened tonight.

Well the only game in that stadium that most people here saw this year was when Captain Cassel owned the joint. Probably doesn't seem like a tough stadium if that's all you saw.

I can only think of 2. The Robinson catch and the Robinson run(though the refs screwed that one up). What was the other one?

[CaliforniaChief]

the spot on 3rd down.

[Gadzooks]

Tampa Bay and NYG: 10-6

Those 2 were a surprise not to make it. It seems the NFC is more competitive than usual.

[Rams Fan]

the spot on 3rd down.

That's what the Robinson run was(Michael Robinson for Seattle). What was the other one, though?

I think establishing SJax early and often may have been one too. Just an opinion though.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I'm starting to think you're right. I thought I remembered Al Michaels mentioning 3 plays that Spags should have reviewed.

Either way, his coaching was abysmal.

Seattle played to win, STL played not to lose.

[CaliforniaChief]

The decision to expose the entire country to that abortion of a game?

I'm not saying Spags is a perfect coach(he's far from it), but I like how he took the Rams from 1-15 to 7-9. A 6 win improvement. One thing right now I don't like about Spags is having the offense going into conservative mode. That's how they lost in SF, in Tampa, and in Oakland.

The improvement is great.

But I think he's sold his team short by costing them some wins.

You're on the right track.

He was coaching a rookie QB, and he made that QB look like a potential player by keeping him from developing Matt Sanchez syndrome and tossing picks all over the damned place. Playing it conservative was the smart choice.

You must not have watched many STL games.

Bradford averaged 37 attempts per game.

I'm betting that's a rookie record, if not damn close. 5th in the league in attempts.

Spags was far from Herm Edwards in the regular season, he just has a tendency to get conservative at the worst times - and it has cost them 3-4 games this year.

Pretty much this. If the Rams had won one of those 3 or 4 games, they're in the playoffs. Not too mention them having a DL fumble at the 2 yard line in Week 1.

F. O Rams!!

HA! We rule the NFC West! bitches.

Fun game..

New Orleans goes down next!

I'm too buzzed to get into to too much smak so .. whatever..

My team sucks slightly less than yours!

[KChiefs1]

Meh, I'm over it for now. Just means next year is the year the Rams kick some ass. But the schedule won't be easy. The Rams face the NFC East next year, plus New Orleans and Green Bay, and I think the AFC North. Let the fun begin...

Holy Schnikeys!

Will the Rams win any games next year?
Oh I guess they still get the rest of the NFC West so that's good for you.

Meh, but in a situation like this I hate that the Hags are gonna get a 4th seed just because they won the division. Division winners should get an automatic playoff bid but seeds should be based on overall record.

I say this in full realization that KC would then have the 6th seed overall and would not host a playoff game. Fair is fair though, why should the Ravens have to travel to our house when they won 2 more games than the Chiefs did?

I know we have this discussion every year, but I still like it the way it is now. Rewards teams for beating their division rivals... if you want a home game, win your division and defeat your rivals.

Plus, this thing works both ways. There have been years, and probably will be years in the future... where wild card teams have played a soft schedule and had a better record than a division winner with a brutal schedule. No way should they be rewarded for that.

[Joe Seahawk]

Probably, the Rams have a nice young QB and and a solid defense.. Hopefully we can come up with a plan to compete, Jake Locker would be sweet!

Conversely, there are years like this one where KC played a relatively weak schedule and a team like the Ravens compiled a better record while playing a much more difficult schedule.

I have to admit, I didn't think Whitehurst could do it. But the Rams make backups look like Peyton Manning(see Troy Smith).

I honestly did not think it was possible either.. My buddy and I figured if clipboard Jesus started we would head up to the lounge and start a tab.. Lo and behold, we scored a TD on our first drive and the rout was on!

Don't think that the Rams won't win the division next year, though. It should be very interesting. On the upside with the Seahawks winning, they pick 21st, so I couldn't be happier.:thumb:

Well, I could be happier, but I'd rather look forward to the draft and think that Seattle just fell 13 spots from 8 to 21.

The winner of the NFC West might be 6-10 next year.

[Rams Fan]

The winner of the NFC West might be 6-10 next year.

The NFC West plays the AFC North and NFC East next year. I doubt that happens. A game I'm going to like watching is Spags returning to the Meadowlands to face the Giants. Playing in Pittsburgh will not be fun, though.

Playing in Pittsburgh will not be fun, though.

Its even more fun when the sex toy convention is at your team's hotel the night before the game.

Answer: Five teams who didn't get it done when the playoffs were riding on the line.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Rams.

This isn't a new development. They've been dumping the ball off all year. I meant to talk about this further in the all-rookie thread, but Bradford was 30th in the league in YPA while completing 60% of his passes. That's almost impossible to do. He averaged under 6 YPA. Derek Anderson was 29th, and he completed 8.3% fewer passes and threw for .37 more YPA

You do realize that the Chiefs were rewarded for this exact thing this year, right?

We were 2-4 in division. Oakland was 6-0 and SD was 3-3. While the Chargers were playing the Patriots, we were playing the Bills.

[Norman Einstein]

The Seahawks are frauds.

Now I get it: CW found a new word in the past 8 weeks and feels like he must use it at every turn.

I would bet he learned the word when someone told him that his writing was fraudulent.

Chiefs are 10-6, in the playoffs and they are frauds.

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I don't know if the Chiefs were rewarded or not, the things we have to consider is the possibility of the AFCW being one of the strongest/weakest divisions in football.

I hate losing to the likes of the raiders, but I also understand that if the Chiefs decide to stand up to the task they aren't necessarily done after next weekend.

I read somewhere that Haley planned the offensive scheme to baffle our next opponent. They will most likely build their defense to do the same thing the raiders did.

I think the Chiefs let down personally, thinking that they could beat the Raiders at home and coast into the #3 slot.

You can be conservative without being predictable. big difference ya know.

[JD10367]

Just do it like the NHL and NBA decided to do, and make it four division of 8 teams each. Top team in each division gets a bye, then the four best records get wildcards.

The assertion made was that he was too conservative, not that he was too predictable.

[Extra Point]

The Seahawks-Rams game is tantamount to #64 and #65 playing to get into March Madness, with a little more rest.

Call the Chiefs frauds all you want; this Chiefs team has a real opportunity to make a go of the playoffs. We didn't back into the playoffs, as we did a few years ago.

Hopefully, our horses will win the race this Sunday. Totally different, and better, team

Yep. Ever since they went to 4 divisions per conference this has been my argument.

[MahiMike]

I have zero problem with a team making the playoffs with a 4-12 record. They're still division winners and that should mean something. If we lived in Seattle, we'd be tickled pink salmon right now.

That's the problem I have right now with playcalling. It's not Shurmur's fault, it's Spags. He lets Shurmur do what he wants in the 1st half, than goes into a shell in the 2nd. Having WRs that can actually catch the ball would actually help, you know.

The Seahawks were jumping those lil short routes and daring him to throw it intermediate. it's ok to be conservative, but it's not ok to be predictable. and you can be conservative without being predictable.

It's not even that. They didn't use SJ at all. The sports media in STL is on Spags because of that. Running with your damn FB on 3rd and 1 doesn't make any damn sense when SJ didn't have a carry in the game yet. Part of this is on the Rams not having any play making WRs, and that includes Alexander. 2 dropped catches. All of the Rams WRs right now were either acquired via trade, signed off a PS or signed as an UDFA. Unreal. They need to sign a veteran WR(like Rice or VJ) or draft one.
