Re: Important Game? Compare Offenses? PULEAZE!

First of all as much as people (Hawk fans) like to tease themselves, the Rams offense is still a better unit then Seattle’s in fact, fantasy is what drives folks to believe that a dink and dunk attack can even be talked about in the same breath or compared to a legitimate downfield passing attack.

Eh? Last season the Seahawks ranked sixth in the NFL with 351.7 yrd of total offense per game, compared to the Ram's ninth ranked 341.1.

Our yds per play was 5.5, tied for fifth in the NFL, compared to the Rams 14th ranked 5.2.

In Passing yds, the Rams 247.6 yds/game ranked 3rd, well ahead of Seattle's 7th ranked 226.1.

But our 10th ranked 125.6 rushing yards per game compared to the Ram's 93.5 (third WORST in the entire NFL, even below Arizona's awesome ground attack) more than made up for it.

The Ram's did, however, outscore us with a third ranked 27.9 pts/game compared to our seventh ranked 25.2.

So far this season it must be admitted that our O hasn't gotten on track yet and the Rams have clearly outgained us in the air, but we've still outscored you 21.7 pts/game to 20.8.
