The Rams played a great game and Martz called a great game! How long has it been since we could say that? The Rams used the run perfectly to set up the pass, but also to use up clock. The St Louis defense also played a great game, but got a lot of help from the Seahawks. Seattle's defense committed a couple of key penalties and their receivers dropped some HUGE passes, including the one that could have sent it to OT.
How many passes have to be dropped before Holmgren cuts someone and gets a decent receiver? But, to his credit, Hasselbeck is saying it was his fault on the final pass.
The Rams must do a couple of things to win. Stopping Shaun Alexander isn't one of them. Alexander has run all over them in both games this year. St Louis must use the run game to control the clock, and they must NOT turn the ball over. If they do that, they will easily outscore the Seahawks.
I am going to hurt myself patting myself on the back, but I wrote that earlier this week. It's a simple playoff formula, but it usually works if you can pull it off. Maybe Martz has seen the light.
Now it's off to Philly, and we'll see if the Rams can pull off two straight. I think they will surprise some people.
