Not good.100 percent chance of rain. 15-25 mph wind, 40s.

Turnover weather....yikes!

We are underdogs.

Double yikes!

any chance you could play for Stafford? Or maybe get Wolfy???

Both teams will be playing in the same weather……..

Getting old that some think this team can’t play in bad weather or win on the road in bad weather………

But we lost to the Vikings in 69.

This weather may be a blessing for Devante Adams...our running game is clicking and our TE's are all world right now. With crazy weather like this, let Adams sit and keep Puka close to the vest and not put in harms way and pound the rock with Kyren and Blake and TE pass the living shit out of the Seahawks defense that has major issues with short to intermediate passes. If Phillip Rivers can walk in the door after 5 years and neatly beat the Seahawks in Seattle, the Rams can and will do the same.

We lost to them in the 77 Playoffs in heavy rain @ the LA Coliseum too. Vikings QB Fran Tarkenton was injured and they beat us with back-up Bob Lee as their QB, 14-7... This after we beat them by 4 TD's in the regular season.

Sounds like good old shit-stomping fall football weather to me; run the ball and shut the 12-man stadium down.

Darnold has that deer in the headlights look about him; time to crush him! Let's rack up some sacks on Thursday night.

Go Rams!; time to dominate and act like a # 1 seed.

True very true lol……..

We will rally around Matthew Stafford and play good football.

Guys, I see many of you have much trepidation about this game… but don’t forget, we’ve done very well the past few years IN Seattle… and this is our BEST team since the SB run in ‘21.

Have faith and feel confident. Rams got this

However .. less so running than passing .. and our run game is better than theirs .. especially now that we could also add Rivers into the mix and make it a three headed monster

Not to mention the NFC title games for 1974 and '76, and the 'wild card' playoff contest following the '88 season.

However, the Rams' worst postseason loss to them which was overwhelmingly weather-related was the so-called 'Mud Bowl' during the '77 divisional round, played in heavy rain. Vikings head coach Bud Grant realized that the Memorial Coliseum field would soon become a quagmire (although it had been somewhat restored following a high school game the day before), so he had Bob Lee (their #2 QB behind injured starter Fran Tarkenton) passing early while receivers still had decent footing.

Rams head coach Chuck Knox predictably went with his "Ground Chuck' running game, however it bogged down in the downpour, after the Vikings took an early two-TD lead the Good Guys couldn't catch up and ended up losing by 7-14.

During the regular season in a Monday night matchup, our team had humiliated the Vikings (with Tarkenton starting) by 35-3 while playing in clear weather.

A hit song at the time was 'Slip Slidin' Away' by Paul Simon, thus I always associate it with that muddy field and the loss to the Vikings. Still, a year later in another NFC divisional-round contest, the Rams overpowered them by 34-10 in much better weather...

RAM SEASON!!

--The Commish

In this weather, Shula better not play a cover 2, cover 3 or cover 4, deep shell. I know the rams db stink, but Rams should make Darnold beat you through the air on a wet windy day. Don't give Darnold the opportunity to dink and dunk and get RAC yards.

Shula take note

Might not be a bad thing. QBs playing in a bad weather game, I'm taking Stafford over Darnold 10/10 times. He's done it in GB, and Chicago more times than SB has played total. And let's not forget, MS looked pretty good in shitty weather in Philly last year.

Run the football...stop the run..Rams are better at running the football than Seattle, and they are both adept at stopping the run. First game Williams was running all over them and McVay inexplicably went away from Williams to feed Corum, who had a bad game. Corum has been outstanding since. Rams have the better running game and QB if rain is a factor.

If you look at the hourly forecast, most of the rain will have moved through the area by game time and the temp will be in the low 50s/high 40s. The wind will be between 15-18 mph though.

Rams can ground and pound now. And go 13 personnel. Years ago would be an issue but rams being a pure passing team is a lazy myth. They’re a much better running team than Seattle. Not close.

One thing about a lot of rain, it may take the edge off the crowd noise. Another (small) advantage if it rains. Crowd might be a 90% volume instead of 100%.)

The Rams are a good road team. If any 1 of the 3 bad plays we had in each of our 2 road losses doesn't happen we're 7-0 on the road! I think having their home stadium over run with visiting fans as often as it's happened since SOFI opened has primed the Rams a bit for the road. Some of their Home games feel like road games and they win the majority(6-1) of those too

Seems the rain will be tapering off right about game time... I think things will be just fine.

49°is cold sure, but it aint no GB at minus wind chills...

Rams got this.

The Mud Bowl. Thanks for bringing up some bad memories

Wasn't that the game where Bud Grant was asked at halftime how he thought the game was going to go and he laughed and said something to the effect of "we got them". He new he'd beat us in poor weather. 2nd half was a nightmare weather wise. He outcoached us. Plain and simple as that. Nice clear day and we would of beat them boys like we did earlier in the season...

That was a tough lost for this 7 year old boy and it still doesn't sit well with me to this day. Not as bad as losing to the Steelers or even worse - losing twice to the Pats. Steelers game we were lucky to be in it going into the 4th Q but we should of never lost to the Pats. Either game. We out coached ourselves in both games...

You think we were lucky to be leading 19-17 going into the 4th Q in SB XIV vs the Steelers? I didn't think so.
The Rams D had stuffed the Steelers vaunted running game all day, holding them to 84 yards on 37 runs, something like 2.3 yards a carry.
They also had Picked Bradshaw Off 3 times earlier in the 1st 3 Q's.
The Long TD on 3rd and long to Stallworth for 70+ yards (Rod Perry anyone), early in the 4th is what changed and decided the game.
They got an insurance TD later on a clock killing drive of again 70+ yards.
I thought we were full value for the lead before that. We were also leading the Stats going into the 4th.
The Steelers got it going in the 2nd half and passed more and had 145 yards in the Quarter and 206 yards in 3 2nd half TD drives.
The Rams D shut them down pretty good in the 1st half. Team was old and had the worst record of the 7 straight division titles run.
We just ran out of gas...

For some reason I thought you were younger (no offense). This board rolls a bit older given most of us were fans of the first iteration of the LA Rams. Still some are here that act like children. I also thought HR was way older too. All good. You’re a knowledgeable poster.

Agreed change up the script.
