And the Rams, as we very well know, are just the best Russian team in football unless you only need one yard, in which case they are abysmal.

And so you don't want to be living

String eight plays, string nine plays, 10, 11, 12 plays to score on these drives.

No, you want to be, you know, first and 10 run this other thing, 38 yard gain.

Like you, you have to ride the lightning a little bit in this one.

You're built for lightning with Stafford and the Seahawks are not accustomed to dealing with that defensively.

So that's where you got to go.

Yeah, I'm worried that Stafford's hurt to some degree, right?

Just because... And the finger, yeah.

Yeah, finger.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the back hurts, right?

Just like even if you take away... Let's say you had never seen the finger got hit against the Panthers.

Cameras never picked it up.

I tell you that 36, 37, 35, 36, I think, 36-year-old quarterback who started the season with back issues is seeing his play deteriorate in the 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st weeks of the season.

What's the most likely explanation?

I mean, it's probably that the guy's dinged up.

Everybody's playing dinged up, right?

Now it's just going to affect an older pocket quarterback who's already got back issues more than everybody else.

I do think that the Panthers and the Bears defense have showed you that when the Rams want to get to their play action pass, you can get after them by blitzing them, by changing the picture.

When Stafford turns his back there, you can find a way to manufacture free rushers.
