We were denied a Geno Smith comeback because Tyler Lockett tripped over himself.

Also if you tuned out TNF, you missed the greatest punt(s) of all time:

I don't think I've ever been more entertained by a losing Seattle effort, and I'm a Seattle fan.

In my opinion it's a travesty that you can't kick the ball multiple times if you're still behind the line of scrimmage

Seattle’s defense is a loving mess and Norton needs to be fired

Maybe into the sun in addition to losing his job

Seattle's punter had what might have been the single greatest bowl game performance I've ever seen, punter or any other position.

I went from 'just keep going, we're getting stops and everything is fine. We'll flip the field eventually' all the way down to just laughing wondering what Dickson would do next.

There should be no limit to the number of kicks on any given play. The players can even kick the ball back and forth to each other. No more hands either, in fact turn the endzones into big goals with nets,

That punt was great. Punter is just such an alpha. I can't get over how he picks up the ball with one hand while running, while the football looks like it's spinning on its nose. Obviously the punt itself was great too but this dude has balls of steel as far as I'm concerned.

In the CFL you can punt the ball as much as you want back and forth since every time you punt the ball you are creating a new line of scrimmage. It's a rule that was retained from rugby that got eliminated in the American game.

Rams going 4-1 to start the season is better than what I expected from the first five games and the biggest surprise is that it was the Cardinals that handed them their lone loss. Giants, Lions and Texans up next in that order and it's going to be worrying if they drop any of those games.

There was a clip from a few years back where the teams punted back and forth like 5 times in one play cause one team was trying to avoid a rouge or something from their own end zone.

They have like a 1 pointer called a rouge where you just have to kick it through the endzone not through the uprights or anything.

I don't understand how you hire Ken Norton. When the Raiders made him DC and beat reporters started tweeting out that he was a self-described "not a very big X's and O's guy" I was very :catstare: and even moreso when he delivered a bottom 5 unit

I assume coaches and front office people stuck in the 1990s remember him as a pretty good linebacker who won three straight Super Bowls between the Cowboys and 49ers and was a key part of the “Same old sorry rear end Rams” clip.

Him and Pete Carroll go back to his days at USC since 2004. It's pretty much a nepotism hire.

This is probably a good overview of the how stupid the Seahawks defensive calls are. Rams go empty, Seahawks bring 5, the Seahawks safety(#6) is just standing by himself in the middle of the endzone so everyone else just has one on one matchups and Stafford has his pick of whoever he wants.
