Who's everyones picks for KC LA?

Rams do few things in offense but do them extremely well.
Rams been doing just enough to win games. Have they got the scope to kick on? For all the big names on defence haven't actually been defending that well.
Kupp potentially a big loss.
Give Rams home field advantage by less than 7 pts. But not surprised either if Chiefs go in with improving defence and post some big points.

You relished a 3 point home win against CJ Beathard and the 1-5 49ers? That will live long in memory will it? Wow, how the mighty have fallen

The rules are the same for everyone? The same rules which have protected AR and given GB and lots of other teams 15 yards on many occasions this season.

be honest do you watch nfl or just check the results every so often?

beat bears when AR came back from leaving the game and overturned a first half deficit

beat 49ers with a great drive in final seconds when game looked gone

these are games fans remember fondly

Yeah, definitely.

At the moment we are being linked with Mark Sanchez.

I see that completely differently, Kupp will obviously be a big loss but I think McVey is one of the best offensive HC in the league, in fact I'd go as far as saying I'm still not sold on Goff, just think his coach knows how to use him. The defence there is a beast with a Coordinator that has a ring.

Rams for me, although I wouldn't be surprised of KC win.

I watched your game vs Seattle where you went Punt, Punt, Punt, FG, Punt in the second half after leading 21-17 in the first half.
I watched your game vs WSH when you failed to score a point in the last quarter and half against a secondary that has been torched by Matt Ryan and Drew Brees
I watched your game vs Detroit when AR caused you to head in at HT 24-0.

Those are just 3 of the games that I've seen that you should be winning if your QB is as good as you say he is. Ill leave out the games vs Brady & Goff.

The only QB's that AR has beaten this year Trubisky, Josh Allen, CJ Beathard & Brock (all at Lambeau may I add). Come on mate, its indefensible. Which of those do you think is genuinely impressive?

more trolling. Mason crosby missed 4 or 5 FG attempts vs detroit. But lets blame AR lmao. you ar enot even being serious.

butthurt because your redskins wont make playoffs...........again. a successfull season for you is hoping GB dont make playoffs for first time in close to a decade haha

I'd give him a go if it wasn't for all the baggage, not sure this is the right time for the organization to bring in such a divisive QB. Something of a disconnect between the fans and the team currently with Norman's recent comments, stadium only 3/4s full.

Feel like we need to go hard at rebuilding the offence through the draft in the next couple of years, defence is stacked up front, Id love to see us go for Tua Tagovailoa in a couple of years. Id take a RB early this year to go with Guice as AP will not be around in 2 years.

2 Rodgers fumbles, both in his own half, and drives forever breaking down if I remember correctly? But yea, lets blame someone else. Rodgers cost you 10 points and Crosby cost you 9 in the first half, but yea, lets use Crosby as a scape goat.

I don't think we'll see Kap in the league until the end of the lawsuit but I think he'd be a great pickup for someone. Would probably take the minimum QB contract and would have a massive point to prove.

I'm not sure we'll ever see him on an NFL field again. It would take a very brave owner to bring him in, they all seem to be falling in line and keeping him out of the spotlight. Everything that surrounded his movement hurt the NFL and the most important thing for the owners is to protect the brand.

Inactivity a real issue aswell now, he hasn't thrown a ball since 2016 and was 3-16 on his last 19 starts.

Not sold on Rams defence as a complete unit. Give up a lot of yds particularly to the run and there are gaps in the secondary . Obviously with Donald have some highlight reel plays but overall are there to be scored on.
Agree Mcvay a bold coach it is still a comparatively simple offense done very well and hugely reliant on Gurley.
Watched all their recent games and Packers and Seahawks took them all the way. Beat injury-hit Vikings by single score.

there can only be one superbowl winner

find that american football fans tend to think everyone else must be shit

so if you are 14-2 but lose in wildcard or conference finals for e,g then you must have had a easy schedule and never played anyone decent etc

lots of good teams, not winning superbowl doesnt mean that you were not good enough to win it if you know what i mean

I see Riggo's Rag, which I read regularly, has listed 5 potential QB's for Washington.

1. Kaepernick - Already dismissed though by Washington themselves

2. Josh Johnson - Yeah, who? Apparently been on the books of 11 different teams over the years.

3. T J Yates - Ex Houston

4. Mark Sanchez

5. Sam Bradford

Out of those 4 (discounting Kap), Bradford all day long for me.

Basically, because all the rest are very, very poor.

Need to create a good pocket for Bradford as needs a bit of time to get rid of the ball but was very good for us.
But isn't the issue with Bradford that there is a hefty 2nd year left on his deal 20m+ if he is picked up during the season.

Is there? Even though he is released?

Not sure how it works to be honest, but thought it would be like over here and football and once you were released you were a free agent, no strings attached.

Take it it's not the same in the NFL then?

I think were going to roll with Colt and just looking to pick up a FA back up? In which case I can understand the Sanchez move, been a back up at other teams since leaving the Jets so will have experience of coming in cold, picking up the play book etc. I think if the decision is to go with Colt then that has to be 100%, would worry with Bradford that a bad half from Colt and everyone will start talking about Bradford.

I think all in on Colt and make it known that Sanchez is purely a backup. Lets not forget that Cousins was a back up for many years before becoming the highest paid QB, Colt deserves a chance, who knows he may just surprise us as Cousins did. McCoy was actually drafted higher than Cousins.

He's 32 though, so never made a breakthrough in all those years.

Kirk Cousins was first named as starting quarterback when he was 24 I believe.

Has Colt McCoy ever been first choice?

my bad. He's cleared waivers so is available at a reduced rate but would still be a huge risk with his injury situation.

Yeah, know he's had I injuries and he's not the quickest these days either, but he's better than the rest on that list.

McCoy may now well be the first choice, but if something happens to him you've got to have adequate cover.

Last time I saw Sanchez play he was throwing interceptions all over the shop.

Greatest game in the world. I love the NFL.

How can you throw for 6 touchdowns and yet still lose the game?

What a match that was.
