Summary
The Seattle Seahawks latest clash with the Los Angeles Rams left fans reeling after a brutal four-interception performance. What separates good QBs from great ones, and why some fans are losing patience while others still see hope for a turnaround. Expectations, turnovers, and the pressure of big moments all come under the microscope. So what exactly is Darnold's record in "big games" and how does it compare with "big moments"? Is there a difference?
We also highlight some big time stats that Jaxon Smith-Njigba is putting up on the offensive side and how Devon Witherspoon has been locking down the perimeter on defense. Looking ahead, the focus shifts to the upcoming matchup against the Titans and what the Seahawks need to do to get back on track.
In the second half of the show we discuss some remaining notes from the game. We close the show with calls to Do Better with regard to quarterback rankings and a ridiculous law in London. Better at Life honors go out to a pair of Seahawks players for their postgame commentary on the podium following the loss to the Rams.

| 0:11.5 | I'm Brandon Schultz of the military Seahawkers, and I am joined by my good buddy in Montana Seahawker. |
| 0:17.1 | Adam, Adam, how you doing? |
| 0:18.6 | I'm doing pretty good because I'm super proud of myself, and I'll tell you why. |
| 0:21.8 | It's because I've been procrastinating doing this episode as long as humanly possible, |
| 0:26.6 | and I think I nailed that because I haven't really wanted to circle back around and talk about |
| 0:33.6 | what happened last Sunday, and we're going to have to in in all of that but you know that |
| 0:39.7 | after a week it's helped some and but to be honest man the game just hurt my feelings it did |
| 0:47.0 | it hurt my feelings I I know what you mean because as going into that game I feel like you and I had both talked ourselves into this |
| 0:57.2 | idea like what we were about to see against the Rams. Like we were going to see a continuation |
| 1:04.4 | of what we had seen the prior weeks. And yes, you know, we'd seen the quarterback turn it over a |
| 1:10.0 | couple times, never really hurt the team. |
| 1:11.9 | But we had seen this defense be dominant. |
| 1:14.3 | We'd seen, you know, the offense be able to be dominant and put up points. |
| 1:19.5 | And when they weren't, the defense was backing them up. |
| 1:22.8 | And so having that expectation, like this would be the time. |
| 1:27.6 | They're going on the road, yes, but they're a dominant team on the road facing the Rams. |
| 1:33.2 | And then to have it go the way it did, like it's to turn it over four times and be kind of convinced like, okay, this just isn't going to happen. |
| 1:46.6 | And then to see like one of the greatest punts in the history of punting in the NFL and then |
| 1:53.5 | convince yourself once again that this isn't going to happen because, okay, after a day like today, |
| 1:59.2 | we aren't getting out of our own end zone because |
