Art_Vandalay Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I heard Peter King mention this earlier about the Chargers. They're going 41 days without playing a game in their home stadium lol. There's no way that's happened before. That stretch includes their bye week and a "home game" in London. If they make it through that okay then get Bosa back, they're going to be dangerous down the stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are definitely dangerous this season. If it's Chargers-Rams in the Super Bowl, it really wouldn't be all that much of a surprise. Similar circumstances to the Fins last year because of the hurricane that caused rescheduling of their home opener, then go on the road cross-country to L.A., then cross-country to New York, then cross-ocean (is that a word?) to London. Actually, iirc the very kind Rams offered the Fins access to their practice facility after the Fins had escape the weather by flying out of Miami early to SoCal and sit around for more than a week waiting to play their first game which was already week two for everyone else. Thank you, L.A. Rams. Then finally almost a month into the season they get a home game, whew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ramster Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 [J.B. Long] After 6 weeks, #LARams RB Todd Gurley has as many touchdowns (11) as the Cowboys, Redskins, Cardinals, Giants, and Raiders. And more than the Bills and Titans (7 each).

I don't see Gurley doing something like that. On top of that, McVey rest his guys, so if the Rams clinch early, Gurley might not even play in some games. There was a stretch at that time when running backs were putting up insane numbers. Marshall Faulk, Priest Holmes, Shaun Alexander kept breaking rushing TD records. The Chiefs had 8 rushing TDs in one game. Mike Ditka traded a whole draft for Ricky Williams hoping to get that kind of domination. It seems like now the risk vs. reward of the passing game makes running the ball more of a situational strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade deadline isn't here yet, still enough time for Brock O to come back home to Houston. Injured Watson straight up for Bear Slayer Brock, what you say?

I get the Saints were really good last season. I get Brees and Payton are great. The Saints under Brees and Payton have only 1 road playoff win. That was against Foles and the Eagles. I dont think lightening would strike twice. The Eagles season was so magical/great last season that it didnt matter who stood in their way. Would the game at Philly been closer if they played the Saints rather than the Vikings? Yes, but I am not convinced the Eagles wouldve lost to the Saints but yet the media has convinced themselves of that. Because the Falcons were a conversion away from beating the Eagles. Drew Brees is infinitely better than Case Keenum, not sure what would stop them from beating the Eagles. It'd be a close game but Brees would pull it off. Plus the Eagles defense got shredded by the Patriots and they spread the ball around which no team does better than the Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fallacy to point out Brees > Keenum therefore Saints beat Iggles on the road. The Eagles had the best front 7, and pressure is what makes QB play suffer. PHI's D didn't play nearly as well in the SB, but again, neutral field. It's more how teams match up - and the Saints D certainly didn't play well vs. MIN on the road, it's hard to envision they would have suddenly fixed that on the road in PHI. It's a moot point - PHI earned the SB win. To claim an alternate scenario as a given seems a huuuuuuge stretch IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been a whooping. Tom Brady shredded us as bad you can possibly get shredded...and still lost. If Brady couldn't beat us, Brees couldn't. Nobody beats destiny and the Eagles were destined to win. And even if the Saints did go the SB they would have just ended up losing to Brady. Because Brady is better than Brees.

Only three RBs are on pace for 300+ carries this season (Gurley, Zeke, and Hyde). In 2006, over 10 RBs did that. Teams are much smarter now and realize that passing is much more efficient then running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter2_1 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Do you think the Jags lose on Myles Jack's non-most important weeks of his life? Also, having a great pass rush but then playing off-coverage or soft is not a very good tactic. Talk about making a QBs mind up for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
