Hard to see past the Rams moving back to LA. Can't see the Raiders going back, although a new stadium would be nice.

Quote ="LFCRhino"So who does everybody think will be playing here if and when it happens?? www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d ... nfirm=true My money is on the Rams returning but I think it could possibly be the Raiders or Jags and the Vikings are struggling to get permission to build a new stadium so they could be a longshot?'" Imo mate i reckon the obvious choice would be the Rams but i don't know enough about the other teams situation you've mentioned to speculate otherwise. As a side i watched the "Greatest Game" on the 1980 Raiders last night another quality program and i admire the Raiders history a lot more now i know more about it! P.s That bottom bit is fao danascully!!

Cheers mate !

NFL Films have also done 'History of the ......' DVDs for a number of teams. Watching the Raiders one, you appreciate how much Al Davis did for the team and why he can't seem to let go now. Sadly, he;ll be remembered for his recent senile actions, rather than 30+ years of hard graft for the AFL and NFL.

Exactly how i see it mate and when you hear some of oaklands past greats talk about him you understand what this franchise means to him and to win a superbowl how they did in 80 with all the off field BS and losing their no1 QB is the stuff of legends imo.
I love the "no-one else wants us" spirit of the players and they had some quality and absolute nutters in that squad!!

I can see the Jags. Their attendances are suffering, their games are blacked out and Florida has two other pro teams.

In what way?
Do they not get any airtime???

In the NFL if you do not sell out (or sell a certain percentage) your home games they cannot be televised in your local market.

So Jags games will not be shown on TV in Jacksonville unless they sell out.

Its' a measure in place to ensure people don't stay at home to watch on TV. Oakland suffer a lot of blackouts.

Bigger teams in bigger commercial markets like Dallas, the Redskins and the New York Teams rarely if ever suffer blackouts.

I never knew that mate,it's a pretty strong incentive then to get behind yer team!
Although aren't the Jags a pretty young franchise? I think it could be harsh if you are trying to build a support base.

They are.

Rumour they'll be moving somewhere. I even heard London named this week as a possible franchise for the Jags

Mr Kraft was mentioning a london franchise within the next decade on the NFL london game preview show earlier,i just see how it would work!!


Anyway HH how much are you expecting to lose by on sunday??

By more than 0 and less than 59... hopefully

I think it'll be pretty close tbh but i reckon the pats by 10.

I think the snow had a lot to do with Tennessee's lack of motivation last week as well so I reckon the Pats by 10-14 also. As poor as we have been this season theres on the Giants game that has been beyond us from the start. All the other games we have had a chance in the 4th. Hopefully if we are still in with a chance in the last qtr tomorrow we can build a bit of pressure.

I have no faith in our D though sadly. Teams are finding it all too easy to put 5-10 minute drives on us with easy 1st's.

Bring on the Buccaneers

Another spanking handed out by Mr Brady and co!!
The pats are starting to find their mojo and today was a great example of the options and depth of their offence.
Moss gets hammered on his 2nd reception and there's still the likes of welker,moroney and young aitkin to contend with.
It's gonna be a long year for the Tampa Bay boys!!

I think We let them off easy today and it could have quite easily been another 59 0 game if the desire was there!!

Nice to see the mighty Miami Dolphins destroying New Orleans Saints 24-3 at this moment in time...

poor HH

That's Tony Romo. We don't want dull QBs who stand there and throw dull completions. We want QBs that break out of three tackles scarper all over and then throw the TD

That's entertainment.

I would rather have "boring" Tom Brady and his 3 superbowl rings

We had that dull efficiency and Superbowl wins in the 90s. I want mad excitement now

My Bengals mean business!!!!!

Cedric Benson was a man possessed against his old team today!!!

Great game and a good comeback after Ryans opening 80yd drive for the 1st TD.
Romo just can't do enough without still getting slated

!
I honestly think the Dallas public are way too harsh on him.

No chance, we blew so much and gave you easy points. Johnson's arm is so slow when you are there. It was like watching a pass in slow motion. Also some of the play calls were frustrating. 2 Cadillac drives to 3rd & 2 so he goes pass and blows it. Also 4th &1 on the HW at 21-0 down and he goes for the punt down field? Build the pressure, Williams had the Pats number all night. Shame the rest of the team couldnt match him.
