Rams brilliantly troll Russell Wilson over his ‘1-0’ tweet
Russell Wilson was the victim of a brilliant bit of social media trolling courtesy of the St. Louis Rams after the Seattle Seahawks stumbled to a 34-31 overtime loss at the Edward Jones Dome.
Prior to taking the field for Seattle’s Week 1 showdown in St. Louis, the Seahawks quarterback issued a boastful prediction of how things would play out on Sunday, tweeting that he expected to be on the winning side of the scoreboard at game’s end.
1-0.#GoHawks

The wisenheimers operating the Rams’ official Twitter account obviously took note of Wilson’s overconfidence and shot back a well-crafted zinger at the Seahawks signal-caller.

Boom. Roasted.
It’s worth noting that Wilson — who frequently exudes positive vibes in his social media musings, later took to Twitter to weakly acknowledge that his “1-0” prediction went awfully awry.
Our goal is to go 1-0 every week. We fell a little short today, but looking forward to getting back to work! #GoHawks

Perhaps a few slugs of his Reliant Recovery Water — a supposed miracle beverage brazenly touted by Wilson during a recent interview — will help him get refocused … and possibly a little less boastful in any predictions he chooses to issue heading into a Week 2 showdown with the Green Bay Packers.
