For some reason, the Rams are playing the 49ers during the 2018 season in China.

There's a burgeoning market of young 20-somethings in China with a lot of money to throw around and not nearly as much disdain for Western culture as their parents.  The NFL looks at that and their jaw hangs open, drooling while their eyes turn into big green dollar signs.

While the logistics of actually expanding into China would be beyond nightmarish (they'd almost certainly have to create a different league), it would be negligent for the NFL to not even test the waters to see if there's an interest in the product.

Probably considered a home game for the Rams and something they had to agree to do as part of the approval to move to LA. 

There's a HUGE Chinese community in SF so I wouldn't be surprised to learn they are the most popular team in China.

I hope the Olympics go off without major incident and the Panthers finally take their swing at the international series if/when the Brazil hosting rumors finally happen.

I don't think I would go to Brazil at the moment. Not sure how Zika would impact that possibility either.

The United States is now actually on the warning list of international travel destinations.  If the Olympics can be pulled off without unmitigated disaster, it's back to game on in Brazil, eventually.  We'll see in about 8 weeks.

I'm not concerned about a warning list put out by governments or traveling to a metro area to be gunned down by some crazies, i'm talking about mosquitos man.

Yes and if the many thousands going there next month live normal lives and have normal babies going forward as will likely be the case, that will and should make/break the litmus test of concern.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Nope Still missing it. Let's try this a different way... You have two quarterbacks from schools that ran the same kind of offense - maybe even two from the same school - on a given team (not necessarily the Panthers). One is designated the starter while the other is named the backup. Why?

      yeah, pretty sure boss.....when things match and fit in the NFL.....the results then show it.  and when they don't, well, the results show that as well.  Bryce doesn't fit.   *but I get why late season and wants to argue with everyone Mr. Scot has also turned into a please don't talk to me about stats guy as well.  Given, the stats that reflect offensive productivity work against all your present arguments.

      Yeeeah...stats and rankings have zero to do with a discussion of scheme and skill set match. Maybe look up definitions of style vs ability and see if that helps. At this point, you've basically had three different people explain to you where you're wrong, but rather than addressing any of those statements, you're just resorting to straight deflection.  You don't get it. Either that or you're acting like you don't get it so that you can avoid the discussion because it's not going well for you. (that wouldn't surprise me either) 😄 Sme result either way, I suppose.
