On paper, the Seattle Seahawks are a far better team than the Los Angeles Rams are this year. Then again, sometimes a veteran quarterback takes that paper and wipes the turf off his cleats with it. At least that was the case today, as Seattle’s conservative zone defenses got thoroughly sliced and diced by Matt Stafford and the Rams. They’ve sent the Seahawks to an 0-1 start to the season, downing them by a score of 30-13. What stings worst about it was the total collapse in the second half, as Seattle was outscored 23-0 after halftime.
As you might expect, a lot of Seahawks fans are less than thrilled right now. Here’s what the 12s are tweeting about after the game.
What I liked about our #Seahawks game:
1. Football’s back, baby!!
2. Reed blocked FG
3. Smokin’ hot DK TD route
4. K9 low-shoulder bulldoze for 6y
5. Q2 third-down-less 75y drive
6. Love bat down on 3rd down
7. Mafe Q3 TFL
8. Nwosu Q4 TFL
9. BWagz return & his 19 tackles— Karrie Pavish Anderson (@KPAsing) September 10, 2023

I know it's only week 1, but that entire second half was embarrassing. Sure, the defense couldn't get a stop, but their inability to cover one receiver was only outdone by the offense's ability to do literally anything. #Seahawks

well… that’s a disappointing loss today… #Seahawks

Embarrassing game on all levels by the #Seahawks. Any hopes of a good season pretty much get flushed down the toilet after that bad loss to a bad team at home.

That was an ugly game.
They have a lot to fix by next week.
The Seahawks always have this weird thing with the Rams no matter their record
That's why I wasn't happy knowing they were their first game.
Hopefully, they get it fixed.#Seahawks 💙💚🏈 https://t.co/PHfjtrPBcB

Nice to see the #Seahawks get off to our usual roaring start. Nothing like pissing away a divisional game, at HOME, against a shitty Rams team. Well done fellas
— Kevin Dale (@kevdale1) September 10, 2023
Well that was…. Shite. Rams deserved that entirely. Out played and out coached on all sides of the ball. #seahawks

I don’t think that could’ve gone any worse……never react to week 1 but a jarring offensive 2nd half. See what happens in Detroit I guess. #Seahawks

Might have been one of the most poorly coached and poorly played games I’ve seen from this team in years. That was genuinely embarrassing to watch. #Seahawks

Ye gads that was a bad way to start the season. Hopefully just an early hiccup for the #Seahawks and not an indication for how the season will go. #GoHawks

Bad start to the season but once again Pete Carroll gets out coached by McVay #Seahawks https://t.co/xKoZoGL43S

Turd defense.
Absolutely turds.

As disappointed as I am for this kind of opening to the season, I can only hope for better going forward.
Errr, "hope" being the operative word.#Seahawks

Seahawks got 3 yards the entire 2nd half. Great job way to make me feel lousy to start the week. #GoHawks#Seahawks

Well, we lost. I'm disappointed, BUT it's the first game. So let's not worry yet. Mistakes happen. #Seahawks

Even though it's just our first game
Still I wanted to win. They spent all that $ on JA and he didn't even play today. They need to get it together for real. I don't plan to be watching another L next week now #12s #GoHawks #Seahawks #LARvsSEA #nothappy pic.twitter.com/cwMvHv4J3l— 🏈FOOTBALL🏈 IS BACK🏈 (@angel206) September 10, 2023
So much for smith-injigba, so much for coaching, so much for our tackles, so much for Geno. Seahawks look like a four win team. #Seahawks
— Matthew Lafe Myers (@LafeMyers) September 10, 2023
This loss sucks. But I’m more concerned about the injuries to Lucas and Cross long term. W1 games may be a nothing burger. #Seahawks

I knew Seattle season was going to go down as soon as they choose Devon Witherspoon over jalen carter the lack of pass rush never changed the secondary looks worse #Seahawks

Wowee. Maybe we’ll be in Caleb Williams contention. 👀 #Seahawks #LARvsSEA

Seahawks were more than disappointing today. Got their asses spanked by the Rams. #Seahawks 😔
— TaoTeacher Ron (@SlowHand73) September 10, 2023
The hype about the Seahawks was a joke. I knew it from the jump. I called 9-8. After that game, I actually think we would be BLESSED to get to 9-8. Trash. That defense is infuckingexcusable
Disgusting. #Seahawks
