This one hurt. The Seahawks are about to embark on the most difficult part of their schedule, one that features the three teams that might be the best in the NFC right now. They couldn’t afford any slip-ups against a Rams team that was only 3-6 coming in and hadn’t been playing well ever since Week 1. The Seahawks had them on the ropes too, leading 13-0 at one point.
However, they never truly seemed in control of the situation – as evidenced by their massive problem with penalties. Seattle got flagged 12 times this week, giving up 130 yards and what should have been a win in the process. Geno Smith and Jason Myers gave it a great effort in the clutch, but there just wasn’t enough time left after LA’s go-ahead touchdown drive.
It’s a brutal way to lose a game heading into the biggest matchup of the season in just three days, especially since it’s the second time they have collapsed in the second half against the Rams this season. Here’s how Seahawks fans are reacting on Twitter.

So we fire Waldron, kill the fraudulent refs, never let Drew Lock play another snap, and get more disciplined on our offensive line and THEN we might win.
Otherwise, we aren’t winning and definitely aren’t going to the playoffs. We might not after that loss alone. #seahawks

#Seahawks had no business losing this game…
— DJ Heer (@DJHeerMusic) November 20, 2023
Penalties, failure to score TDs instead of FGs and Geno’s untimely exit all keys to that loss. I have no problem with the draw based on the time.
Finally, I wonder how many are still craving Lock now. #Seahawks

That was an important game mann!!This loss is not on Myers.. 12 penalties for 130 yards?? Pete has to let these niggas hear it bruh. What happened to the offence in the 2nd half?? Gauntlet of games coming up we need more discipline. #Seahawks #OnToTheNext #GoHawks

The only way I’ll accept this loss today is if we beat the 49ers on Thanksgiving. #Seahawks
Niners 7-3
Seahawks 6-4If we win both teams will be 7-4 after. Going to be interesting stretch I do believe

#Seahawks offense.. 🤡🤡🤡
Despite the penaltys, the game was right there.. offense just stopped playing. Again!!!🤡
You cannot build an offense just on the runs and big plays through the air. Advice: Slants are not forbidden… Tight Ends are also in your offense#weneedachange— Ohrläppchen (@ohrlappchen) November 20, 2023
We also need a new OC #seahawks

1Q Shane Waldron > 2Q 3Q 4Q Shane Waldron
Again, the lack of creativity in play calls for the talent on this team still baffles me.#Seahawks

Typical Pete fashion. #Seahawks are middle of the pack at best in the @NFL
Until they have a top 10 QB and a coach that plays to win/dominate they won’t succeed. You can’t play to not lose every week you have to take chances. pic.twitter.com/J0TH5fMPQT— Tommy Moss (@m44433117) November 20, 2023
We certainly blow our load early, don't we. So sick of the shit coaching, endless flags, and mediocre performances. A big change is long overdue. #Seahawks
— Robert (@OlivierLenheim2) November 20, 2023
9-8 at best – don’t see another win til Christmas Eve. Sigh #Seahawks

Waldron needs to go.
Pete needs to go.It's about time for a change#Seahawks
— Tyler Greaves (@TylerGreaves12) November 20, 2023
After this upcoming 4-game stretch, the #Seahawks are likely to be 6-8.
Very well deserved, undisciplined coach and undisciplined players lead to losses

I have great respect for all. 🥰 But/and: Folks, Geno Smith is my quarterback. #seahawks

Koodos to Geno Smith…
1. Penalties killed the Hawks
2. PI call on Witherspoon was complete BSPraying Geno's injury isn't serious important stretch upcoming #Seahawks
— MarcE (@MarcEHabs) November 20, 2023
So much respect for Geno willing himself back into that game and getting into field goal range. But what r we doing running the ball on that last play as if we’re in comfortable FG range?? What a gut-wrenching loss especially with these next 4 games being so difficult #Seahawks
— Colton Almeida (@seahawk928a) November 20, 2023
55 yards was too far for Jason Myers.
The second half collapse of the Seahawks is abysmal, almost as bad as their first embarrassment, against the rams as well. #Seahawks now fall to 6-4 on the year, it doesn’t get any easier from here though…49ers this Thursday Night.

My @Seahawks are in big trouble.
Embarrassing loss to the lowly Rams.
We suck at 3rd downs.
Geno is so inconsistent.
Defense can’t make the stop when it counts.
Undisciplined. Penalties prove it.#gohawks #Seahawks— Justyn Smith (@pastorjustyn) November 20, 2023
Seahawks are right there…just missing talent at some positions. Can't expect to make the playoffs while getting swept by the Rams though.
Brutal loss, especially with a gauntlet of a schedule coming up. #Seahawks

What an absolute joke of a game. Penalties, crap offense, awful refereeing and cracking under pressure. F@#k I hate the rams #Seahawks #SEAvsLAR #nf

After tonight's gutsy ass performance, you cannot convince me Geno Smith is not a franchise QB. An NFL kicker should make a 55 yard center cut kick in a dome. #Seahawks

The refs were absolutely brutal, but the #Seahawks were so damn undisciplined in that game. You can’t be that undisciplined and expect to win unless you have talent the likes of the 2013 team. Brutal loss man. Empty and sick to my stomach.

Seattle is consistently inconsistent. Terrible on 3rd downs. Terrible penalties. Terrible clock management. #Seahawks #nfl

Horribly coached game, horribly timed injury, horribly criminal officiating. Schedule is a gauntlet now. Season about to be over. #Seahawks
— Tucker Blankinship (@TuckerBlanc) November 20, 2023
Meyers shouldn't have been put in that position to begin with. Pete can't ever not get out coached by Sean. Pete has no control over his team and the ridiculous amount of penalties, most deserved except the DPI on Spoon. #Seahawks #SEAvsLAR
— JW541 (@JW509360) November 20, 2023
Jason Myers did his part all game long.
Know who didn't? Drew. Geno came back in, threw a couple of excellent passes and yeah. If Drew hadn't fucked it up right there in the middle, then we would have had that one. He's not the golden boy QB y'all think we need. #Seahawks

HORRIBLE clock management by #Seahawks on last series is inexcusable! #PeteCarrol choosing to run it instead of spiking the ball left them w no choice but to attempt a 55 yd FG.
