I'm still convinced that the whole thing was a ploy to uproot them to LA easier; Stan had plans to move the team as soon as old Georgia Frontierre kicked the bucket and every season thereafter seemed to get progressively get worse as far as on-field product, draft choices, fan attendance, and general interest by both the front office and the entire City of St. Louis. The aforementioned factors were, in my opinion, simply a ploy by Kronke to dwindle the fan base and make it ever so easy to move the team in the middle of the night, which he finally pulled off.

 

I agree with this. I figured the Rams were on the ropes as soon as Georgia died, but never bought into Stan Kroenke helping her move the team to St. Louis so he could eventually move it back himself. That's a bit of a reach to me. But yeah, they definitely went into a period of benign neglect at the end the way the Whalers and Supersonics did before their owners moved them.

Cowboys Kellen Moore breaks his ankle, so Austinite Nick Foles may get a call (if he hasn't already).

I like what they've done with the place.

Yup, unreal isn't it?

 

I liking that a lot of you are confirming my feelings for an 8-8 for the Buccaneers.  That's my goal for the season this year, I like our team structure.  The offense has consistency for the first time in a while and the D is shored up on the line and the backs, with the middle being solidified again with Lavonte David and Kwon Alexander.

[Rockstar Matt 1,524]

I think the Bucs are on their way up. They should be in playoff contention for most of the season.

Joe Robbie meets Old Trafford? Nice.

Another thing I should say is maybe Seattle could win the NFC West, but watch out for the Rams.

 

Not saying the Rams will surprise anybody this year, but what I'm really saying is expect the change of scenery to light a fire under those guys.

Maybe, & I'm hoping because I drafted Todd Gurley first round.  They do have to play the Seahawks & Cardinals 2x & make another trip to London.

Brett Favre's HOF Locker to include a Packers jersey and Vikings jersey. I immediately thought "Well, where's the Jets jersey?" But then it got me thinking "What about a Falcons jersey?" Yes, Favre's best years were with the Packers and Vikings, but shouldn't the HOF be about celebrating a player's entire career?

[Crabcake 1,706]

Here are my results w/ the predictor:

 

 

Wild Card:

Jaguars at Texans

Ravens at Patriots

 

Cardinals at Cowboys

Packers at Vikings

 

Divisional:

Texans at Broncos (barely)

Ravens at Bengals (even more barely)

 

Cardinals at Panthers

Vikings at Seahawks

 

Conference Finals:

Broncos at Bengals

 

Panthers at Seahawks

 

Super Bowl LI:

Seahawks over Bengals

The NFC seems much more predictable than the AFC this year. I wouldn't be surprised if we see all 6 NFC playoff teams back again.

Bucs issue is that the team was undisciplined under Schiano in his last year and undisciplined under Lovie in his two years. Can it really turn around under Dirk Koetter since changing the HC doesn't equal reducing penalties.

I mean, he had one good season with them (which I guess is better than what he did with the Falcons and Jets). Still, he should be remembered as a Packer... and only a Packer.

Joey Bosa is getting short-changed by the Chargers ownership, and it looks like he is totally correct in holding out.

[buckeye 402]

Another view of the stadium, just need the field design and looks like it's all set. Very impressed with the updates!
