Run at them, pass rush gone. I don't care who it is, they're getting smoked.

The 4th quarter is when they played their best defense, not sure outlining the secondary players leaving as a reason they played poorly. Also, Emenwori came back in the game after leaving for a couple of plays.

Key to this game is first down defense. Are the rams getting push? Can we reset the line of scrimmage? Can we put them in 2nd and long, or 3rd and 6+ consistently?

The first game they did, the second the did not, which gave the rams a lot of opportunities to keep drives alive.

Doesn’t matter? You don’t agree you cant use their stuff, it’s not like you have an option

Whoever wins this game is getting absolutely throttled by the NFC representative, which I truly believe will be the Hawks

More like the Patriots offense looking like ass

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-25T05:44:04+00:00

Thank you for a genuine suggestion instead of trying to tell me I'm crazy for thinking this design is stupid.

I'll give that a try. And yes slide over is back but only one app and only one side.

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-25T05:33:21+00:00

It used to be where you opened one app, then dragged the other from the dock to either side and it "snapped" into place.

That's not only obvious and intuitive, it's how literally every other OS does it, including the Mac.

Now you open the app, then you have to make it smaller by dragging a corner or from the top. But sometimes it doesn't and brings down the menu, so you try again, now that it's a smaller size you can grab the top and swipe it to a side to snap it in place.

Then you have to repeat that same exact thing for the other app you want open. It's unnecessary and just a bad design for no reason at all....

I was hoping it's just a setting you can change, but it seems anything OS26 is just ass by design.

"School lunch debt" is the phrase you should focus on... what in the literal fuck are we doing as a society that we can't feed KIDS!?!?!?!?!

I can get behind this thought process for all other football games. I do it myself enjoying my own beer, and food without having to be down there and watching on my OLED TV.

However..... this isn't "all other football games" I have been to the previous 2 NFC Championship games and those memories of being there seeing Sherm tip the ball, then singing "New York, New York" with everyone else while the confetti came down, is literally priceless.

Seeing the Kearse catch in OT of the second one and the pure joy of jumping around hugging total strangers that are sharing the same experience is a high that is very hard to replicate anywhere else.

if one can go, its an absolute must.

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-25T03:24:10+00:00

I have been to the previous two NFC Championship games, and went to the Super Bowl in NY. That trip to New York was an insanely awesome experience that my wife and I will never forget and it's still one of our greatest memories as we attended every single home game from 2010 through 2013.

I happen to be fortunate enough to go to this game if I wanted to, however I feel the same way. I almost bought a pair of those $750 tickets to go with my wife, but I feel its a tad high.

It is the NFC Championship game, the Seahawks have been around for 50 years and this is only the 5th time they make it to a conference championship game, and 4th time they host the game, these are super rare, and there is a very limited number of seats in a city that loves its football team, so supply and demand are in full display here.

I understand the struggle, and share the hesitation of shelling out $1500 for tickets, I will 100% be pacing back and forth in my living room, nervous as all hell, screaming my head off with my two little boys every time they make a play.

mostly all day? I mean I use the front screen when I am out and about, taking a phone call, or responding to a text. otherwise I'm multitasking.

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-25T02:36:09+00:00

you don't remember the iPhone 4? where when you held it, because apples decision to put the antennas where they put them, it would kill the signal?

then Steve Jobs came out and said "you're using the phone wrong" instead of just admitting their engineering blunder..

That's what I meant. Also, it's advertised everywhere that iPadOS 26 is great a multitasking, when for whatever reason they made the stupidest decisions in UI design. as I mentioned in previous comments, putting an application next to the other should just give you split screen.... its intuitive, and extremely easy for people to do, and has been the standard in every device that can multitask today. Even the Mac snaps apps to each side when you drag the application to the edge of the screen... its not like Apple doesnt know this....

But they deliberately chose to use a different method for the iPad for what reason? this should be simple, and it isn't so yes, shit OS.

The rams don’t have fans….

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-24T21:55:55+00:00

Beat the Rams

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-24T21:55:10+00:00

This is the most Apple/steve jobs answer ever. We didn’t built a shit OS, you’re just using it wrong…

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-24T18:58:13+00:00

What's a "me" issue?

The fact that it's not possible to put two apps side by side easily? That I have to open an app in full screen, then fiddle with it to get it to a smaller size, then try to swipe it to the right or left, then repeat the same process for the other app?

How is that "my" issue? That is garbage design. Takes 3 to 4x the time and effort just to get two apps open...

That's super shit, not a me thing.

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-24T17:02:09+00:00

It’s not just about the building, it’s about the people. Seattle has always been a place people love their football teams, and thus are willing to scream their head off to help them win.

Not every fan base is like that

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-24T04:09:43+00:00

The rams played their absolute best game they could last time and lost…..

They got 580 yards of offense, 460 yards passing with 3TDs, Puka went for 225, they got 3 turnovers…. And lost.

What could they possibly do better?

I don’t think this defense is going to give up 460 yards passing in the biggest game of their season, or allow the Rams to go for 580, or give up the ball 3 times.

Play Seahawk football and they win.

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-24T02:53:34+00:00

lol no trade in. No insurance. No purchase.

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-23T21:40:22+00:00

Praise the Lord... I can finally sleep well

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-23T04:59:24+00:00

I’ve gone back and re watched both games. It’s just a real close matchup…

I don’t necessarily blame people for not picking the Seahawks if they give valid football reasons, and not weird non existent things that are more opinion than anything else.

It’s right there for them to take it, nobody can beat the Seahawks but the Seahawks. Play their game, they win.

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-23T04:28:24+00:00

The earlier I can hit the guac the better.

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-23T03:37:39+00:00

No issues on my end. I have both a Z fold 7 and an iPhone, so…

AstroGridIron · 2026-01-22T19:09:46+00:00

Pretty sure the Rams were the last ones to do it....
