Seahawks win in St.Louis 23-20

A late game 10 point flurry turned yet another Seattle loss into their 3rd win of the season as the Seahawks defeated the Rams in St.Louis 23-20.
The Seahawks sandwiched the tying touchdown and winning Olindo Mare' field goal around a three and out stop by the Hawk defense in the last three minutes of the game to pull out the win..

Shawn's Thoughts

1) I know,convenient to return the thoughts after a win,but the last few weeks had a casualty or two and the Seahawks were the one.
I didn't even watch the game live,just reviewed it on tape......

2) For a player that that seems to be far from an All-Pro,Jordan Babineaux makes more big plays per capita than most players.
Babineaux seems to always be around a fumbled ball and has his share of screen pass picks too..

3) Seneca Wallace played about what you hope for from a backup.
Good enough to keep you in the game and not enough to get you beat....

4) John Carlson continues to mature as a receiving tight end every week.
Carlson could (in the right offense) eventually be a Pro Bowl level player...

5) The St.Louis fans seemed to be less than interested in the game.
Between not lifting the local TV blackout and seeming to be far emptier than the announced crowd,the Ram fans are clearly unhappy with the product that they showed...

Bonus Rounds:One takes wins where you can,but the win could wind up costing the Seahawks in the draft.
Had the Rams won,Seattle would be in either the 2 or 3 slot in the draft since the lowly Bengals won and improved themselves,but instead the win dropped them all the way to either 5 or 6 depending on the tiebreaker with Oakland....

I worried about the loss of Josh Brown in the kicking game before the season and Brown has done well with the Rams,but Olindo Mare has been near perfect on the year (22 of 24 on field goals and perfect on extra points_.
Putting yesterdays game winner aside,Mare shows far more life in his career than I thought he has and has been a rare bright spot in a dark season.

Quick Pick on tonight in Philly.
The Eagles mantra will be BLITZ,BLITZ,BLITZ,Ken Dorsey will spend the game throwing off his back foot and the Eagles win going away 31-10.
