I think the Seahawks fans in the stadium saw it the way you did. It’s a penalty if you drive the qb into the ground, but they didn’t do that here. It looked clean to me.
I am pretty sure they put in a rule against slamming down QBs after Doug Flutie got slammed on the ground during a sack in San Diego way back in 90s I think. I don’t think he played another game after that.
Yeah I forgot the years (just looked up. 2001) but after that year (after that game) he was pretty much done. He was too little the linemen too big and they tossed him around and slammed him on the field like a ragdoll. He was a tough MF to still be able to function after those punishments.
Wow refs are REALLY helping out Rams. They stopped the game for 2 minutes to let Sean McVay decide if he wants to challenge the call or not and didn’t charge him for the time out? That’s some BS
#LA Rams @ Seattle Seahawks
6:30pm ET
That was a game saving tackle lol
As someone who’s spent almost my whole life (so far) between New England and Seattle… damn now I’m torn.
25 seconds. Too much time for Stafford.
Are they allowed to slam the QB like that in a sack? I thought it was against the rules!

Not sure about the rule, but I know Flutie played in this game (after the 90’s)

This game is nuts.
Holy crap that taunting penalty was a massive mistake.
That changed the momentum.
It feels like Matthew Stafford is going to will this team to a win
…or not?
Hard to do without the ball…
Man, what an answer to that muffed punt! The Rams have too much experience to just go away.
That drive was something to see.
Ooof, that muffed punt hurts!
Both offenses seem to be moving well against stout defenses in the early going.
Starts at 0:30 over here and I have to work tomorrow :/
HORNS UP, GO RAMS!
good god. where are you? Europe?
Yup. Germany to be exact.
