Rams vs. Seahawks Discussion Thread

Really want to fade Darnold against any team with a good pass rush because he still seems to struggle when pressured more often than not, but dome (including teams with retractable roofs) are 0-15 in NFL title games played outdoors since the merger & only 3 of those games were decided by one score.
 
I was actually surprised how well the 9ers line was holding up early. They went right down the field the first few possessions. Horrible call on 4th down to give up possession and then a Tonges fumble moving the ball through the air easily. Also CMC hadn’t seen running lanes like that all season. Sure, the wheels fell off but the 9ers didn’t punt until the 2h. Seattle also only 4/10 on third down vs practice squad guys. It was a blowout win but it’s not like they took the ball 75 yards 5 times down the field.
 
So I thought the first 2 games were close, not sure what to make of it but here's some numbers..

Darnold has thrown 6 int in the 2 games.

Sea won 38-37 on the backwards pass 2pt conversion review and LA had 581 total yds and had more TOP at 40min-28min.

LA won 21-19 but Sea outgained LA 414-249 in the 21-19 game and Seattle missed a 61 yd FG attempt at the gun and had more TOP than LA at 37min-22min.

Weird that the team that won each game had the ball for way less time.

Total Pts 58 v 57
Total Yds 830 v 829

Sam was so bad to start Game 1 and LAR simply tried to hold on.

Game 2 was a blood bath and my Seattle wager was completely wrong. But that’s how things play out sometimes.

Not particularly except the line is pretty spot on. Seattle -2.58 (Neutral Field Seattle -0.5).

There's a little more discrepancy with the AFC game but change of QB throws a wrench in it.

Denver -1.08 (Neutral Field +0.92)
With Bo Nix. Looks like books giving NE 4-5 points with QB change.

Those are based on regular season numbers. I'll re-calculate to include post season games.

Including playoff games

Seattle -3.18 (-3)
Denver -1.8 (-2) w/ Bo Nix
 
Posted easier this week by Mason. You can see the BOL rooting #s for the eventual Super Bowl winner.

He's posting current odds and he's usually referring to total futures bets throughout the season.

The house wins any which way on futures.

Seattle is the lowest win though.

People flocking to the gates to bet on a Darnold INT and I don't disagree with that really

But time to look at the other side, I much prefer the Stafford INT. He's not been great lately w/o Puka doing Puka things. Guy is a turnover just waiting.

Not worth it ...Kids grow up so fast ..Blink twice and they're teenagers

Had a chance 10 years ago to make double maybe close to triple, but I would have been on the road 40-42 weeks of the year ..

Can also provide pretty good wealth so that has to be considered.
And it’s a pretty cool life for the kids, especially if the team is rolling haha

Interesting that 8/11 of these went over today's total of 45.5 by an avg of 9 points!

Hell 7/11 hit 50.

Weather in Seattle is perfect. 44F, sunny with zero breeze. I have to say, I am liking the over in this one. Will likely hit it live if I can get under 45 after a slow start

Great for a live bet if you're convicted really. Think you can get it in the 30s barring some crazy first qtr shenanigans

43.5 for me. remember last week we had the "teams who allowed zero touchdowns in the previous playoff game." we have it again with seattle. the subsequent game is now combined 20-3 ou and eighteen of those 23 saw at least 44 points. arbitrary yes. a good starting point also yes 😂

True that to some degree


Although I don't know BROTHER. I've met a slew or extremely successful billionaires/multi multi millies over the years who said they missed all the important years of their children's lives while they were chasing generational wealth .
Often tears would start flowing when they said "now that I have all this free time they're busy with their lives/marriages life "
 
Probably why McVay didn't challenge but he should have... would have likely been overturned.

Short answer:
👉 The game clock does not automatically run just because a challenge is unsuccessful. What happens next depends on why the clock was stopped in the first place.

How it works​

  • A coach’s challenge always stops the game while the replay is reviewed.
  • If the challenge is unsuccessful, the team loses a timeout.
  • After the review, the clock status is reset to what it would have been without the challenge.

Practical outcomes​

  • If the clock was running before the challenge
    ➜ The clock will start running again once the ball is spotted and the referee signals ready-for-play.
  • If the clock was already stopped (incomplete pass, out of bounds, penalty, timeout, end of quarter, etc.)
    ➜ The clock remains stopped.

Key rule principle​

A replay review cannot create or eliminate a clock stoppage that wouldn’t have existed otherwise.

So the lost timeout is the penalty for the failed challenge — not a free clock stoppage.
