a fair question since nobody actually asked you. Are you against an 18 game season ? Or games in London ? I am in favor of both because I hate long boring offseason waiting and the idea of extra football to me is wonderful and I would love to hear a counter argument I'm really not interested in fighting but I am asking you since the other fellow believes you are against it

I'm against the 18 game season because honestly, even as a fan, the season is long enough. More to the point, since the new CBA was implemented guys have been getting injured at the drop of a hat. Extra games just makes that worse.

Also against a team in London largely because the players hate the idea (as they do the 18 game season). Heck, it's bad enough for guys to have to relocate now, and then some move wherever and wind up cut. Imagine if that involved moving overseas. Plus right now it's a novelty. Not sure it'd work full time like the NFL thinks it will. And of course there's the 'oversaturation' argument (the League doesn't need to get any bigger).

Less so against the idea of a team in L.A., but don't care much for that idea either. I know the NFL wants it but the people of L.A. are largely indifferent. I wonder what makes the League think an idea that's failed twice already will work now.

Any bad teams have no reason to sign Rice this year, and good teams won't want to ruin what they've built by signing Rice and turning their team into a circus.

I expect some team to give Rice a shot in the offseason after the zealots have moved on to a new crusade.

Just one man's opinion though. An unresolved Hardy situation during free agency is what intrigues me though.

      Our Buddy Chase Blackburn Fired

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47371200/sources-rams-fire-special-teams-coordinator-chase-blackburn LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams have fired special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move marks the first in-season coaching change that Rams head coach Sean McVay has made in his nine seasons in Los Angeles. Rams assistant special teams coach Ben Kotwica will take over and become the lead special teams coach, a source told Schefter. The Rams, 11-4 and second place in the NFC West, lost to the Seahawks on Thursday night in a game that included a Seattle punt return for a touchdown and a missed 48-yard field goal by Los Angeles kicker Harrison Mevis. The Seahawks (12-3) overtook the Rams for first place in the division and the top overall record in the NFC thanks to the 38-37 overtime victory. Though the Rams have lost only four games this season, three have involved special teams miscues. In the Rams' first loss of the season, 33-26 to the Eagles, Los Angeles had its final two offensive possessions end with blocked kicks. In the Rams' Week 10 victory over the Saints, kicker Joshua Karty missed an extra point and a 39-yard field goal attempt. After the game, McVay said the Rams' special teams issues "can't continue like this." Los Angeles replaced long-snapper Alex Ward with Jake McQuaide and Karty with Mevis, who had not missed a kick until Thursday night in Seattle. Blackburn, 42, was in his third season as the Rams' special teams coordinator. A former linebacker for the Giants and Panthers, he also has worked as an assistant with Carolina and Tennessee.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      It was a bad play from Icky but the OL didn't give up a sack until late in the 4th quarter and Bryce just stood there like he was canatonic. If our 3rd year number one overall pick can't overcome one single sack against a rebuilding Saints team that should only have 2 wins this season then it isn't ever going to happen   This is your quote. I mean I’ve quoted it twice. It was followed by calling people that defended him fugers and several other meltdowns I can also quote.    Shame you for working for a living??? Wow this is a whole new level to your victim mentality thing you like to do. You don’t have to watch games live. Or don’t spend an entire thread arguing about something you didn’t get the full picture of. I miss parts of games all the time. That’s just life. Not even going into the whole losing all respect thing.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By frankw · Posted

      Rams ended up firing ST coach and former Panthers coach Chase Blackburn after the loss. Sounds all too familiar.
