Gee Stafford against the run of play hits Parkinson on a post route and then Devante on a 1v1.

An underrated part of great QB play is what you do when overall game momentum is against you.

There's still heaps of time left but the Rams have to stop Seattle from scoring (somehow)

With Stafford and these receivers I give them a shot to score more. Will need a takeaway on D at some point.

Huge penalty, the kind that swings momentum.

Riq Woolen breaks the play up to get 4th down, taunts to the Rams bench and gets done for unsportsmanlike, gives up the deep ball to Nacua for the TD on the very next play.

Most hated man in Seattle right now.

Yeah huge penalty.

I hate them, nothing worse than a penalty just because you couldn't shut up.

Might come down to which team has the ball last ... but the Rams need to restrict Seattle to a field goal (tops) on this drive

How hard is it to just shut up and walk to the sideline? Would be spitting chips right now if it was us.

 

Rams stop the drive and now it's up to Stafford & the running game

4th and 4… I’m kicking the FG, if you get a stop then a FG wins, now if we get a stop we still need a TD.

Stupid.

I was surprised. It's just so common now.

Guess they were backing the 13 and felt they could get someone open as it has been working. I don't know.

It's like they've failed maths. Play the percentages

Sometimes a field goal is invaluable

I would have gone FG but I can see why they make these choices. They back their offense to march the field if it fails, if it works they take the lead.

People and coaches see it differently. In a big game I personally like to take the 3 points.

Well it’s been a fun year, but I thought we lost our best shot when we choked in Seattle and lost the #1 seed.

Off season must be secondary and special teams.

Tough luck, @Gorgoroth

Hard to win in Seattle and I reckon you win, if the game was in L.A

Tough result Gorg.

Hell of a game but could have gone either way. These ones hurt.

The #1 seed might have proven to be the difference in the West especially with 3 teams all capable of making runs this year.

Lame SB coming up.

Makes you wonder why the Vikes got rid of Darnold, after a 14 & 3 record last season

Ha ha! Lame?

I reckon it's a terrific match-up ... a re-match of the 2015 SB

In 2015 we saw that famous finish where Seattle decided not to hand off to Beast-Mode, 1 or 2 yards shy of the TD zone!

What's the bet that story will be re-visited in the next 2 weeks??!

I can’t see the Pats getting within 10 of the Seahawks.

I don’t know if I can cheer on the Pats and I’m sure as shizen not cheering on Seattle.

I think I’ll cheer on my bets and hate the players that make me fail.


Seattle are listed as -5.0 point favourites but I'd have the number at -3.5

Seattle's D can be awesome and that strength should get them over the line

But you never know in this sport, as teams can score a TD in all sorts of different ways ... there's a reasonable amount of luck (or bad luck) involved

And we've got some Australian representation in the SB with Michael Dickson as Seattle's punter (and holder)

A 29yo, originally from Sydney and as a teenager, was in the Swans academy

He is the highest paid* punter in the NFL and has previously held the record for the highest average punt distance

*Currently in his 1st year of a 4 year contract at Seattle worth $16.2Million (overall)

Edited by Macca

I think Seahawks are the better team but you can’t discount the pats in a Super Bowl. They have a good record and history and tradition on their side.

 

I think Maye has enough throwing ability to stretch the Seattle D like the Rams did, but I think he will be under a lot of pressure.

Pressure to Darnold and holding their run game without loading the box will be what the Pats will be aiming for.

Not for us passionate NFC Westers.

Obviously watching though

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
