The Los Angeles Rams just watched the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, and the takeaway by many talking heads is that the Rams should be sick about missing out on their chance to get to this Super Bowl, and win.
Of course, we’ll never know if the Rams would’ve beaten New England or not, but we can guess the Rams thought they were good enough to do it since they thought they were good enough to beat Seattle.
Maybe the Rams are feeling “sick” over watching Seattle win the big game, maybe they have regrets? That’s probably true. What’s done is done. The Rams put up a great fight, but in the end they got beat. That’s happens to 31 out of 32 teams every year.
Thanks for checking out Turf Show Times and have a great day! There’s always next year.
Peter Schrager: Rams must be ‘absolutely sick’ after watching Super Bowl (ramswire)
“Peter Schrager of ESPN put things into perspective for the Rams, saying on First Take that the Rams “have to wake up absolutely sick” over coming up short of the Super Bowl this season.
“I think the LA Rams wake up this morning absolutely sick,” he said. “… They put up 457 yards on that Seahawks defense in Week 16 and didn’t win? They put up 581 yards on that Seahawks defense in the NFC championship and didn’t win? If you’re Matthew Stafford, if you’re Sean McVay, you wake up this morning absolutely ill, having watched that team do what they did to the New England Patriots and say, ‘How did we not play in that game?’ I think the Rams are the team with the greatest regret right now.”
Seahawks, Rams favored in wide-open Super Bowl LXI field (espn.com)
“The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX after entering the season as +6000 long shots. They’ll enter the next season favored to win Super Bowl LXI, but their relatively long odds suggest the field is unprecedentedly wide open.
Seattle is tied with the Los Angeles Rams at +950 to win the NFL’s championship in 2027, followed by the Buffalo Bills at +1100, and the Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens and AFC champion New England Patriots tied at +1300, according to DraftKings odds.
If they hold until the beginning of the season, the Seahawks’ and Rams’ odds would be the longest for a preseason favorite on record since at least 1977, per ESPN Research and SportsOddsHistory.com. Since 2015, +950 would have been the second-shortest odds on the odds board once and fifth-shortest on the board six times.“
“I think the positive thing is they weren’t “ready” last year also. but what was the glaring weakness as the Season ended, Barkley and Hurts running all over them so McVay and Snead went out and focused on fixing that while the pass Defense appeared “good enough” and they left it alone.
This year, it’s kind of obvious you got more pronounced holes in the Special Teams than ever and obviously the back half’s coverage ability, I think McVay and Snead will focus on that…“ -arch stenton
