NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[tlance]

If not one of those two, who is your next NFC team up? I don't have much confidence in any of the NFC at this point (other than maybe the Eagles) in the mix with the top bunch of teams in the AFC. No matter how the Vikings play in the middle of the season, I don't have any confidence in Cousins in prime time.

The Bills need to start getting healthy on defense very soon, or they will make their own road far tougher than would be expected. They were down at least 6 defensive starters in the second half this weekend (DE, LB, entire secondary).

That is the thing.

I don’t know.

Could be a random 6 seed.

looks like the top 2 are established, but anybody who makes the tournament in the NFC can get through to the Super Bowl.

If the Eagles win the one seed, good luck to anybody coming into the Linc in January.
Vikings - dome team
Seattle - cold weather - different animal home vs road for that franchise
TB - once had a 40 game losing streak in games played under 40 degrees
Giants - conditions shouldn’t be a problem
Dallas - another dome/warm weather team
San Fran - their game translates to weather better than most of these others.

I wish I didn't have to, but I can't look away lol. This is what happens when you lose a pro bowl level LT, OLB, WR to start the season (as well as other OL and pass rushers, post-Super Bowl), then lose much of your offensive line to injury in the first few games. Add it the post Super Bowl malaise or whatever and continually losing assistant coaches and coordinators to other teams. Rams have been a bit of a head coach farm the past 5 years or so. Of course, on top of all that, a lot of traded draft picks so no developing early round talent to promote. So what happens this weekend in the battle of backup QBs? Kupp gets a high ankle sprain. Maybe Odell will come back to be the #1 for the next month or so?

Yeesh, next year can't come soon enough....

Sorry to hear about Kupp.

I think Philly is the best team.

But if I am betting Philly vs. the NFC field?

I take the field all day long.

My statement entails Philly having that ability if they play all their playoff games at home.

@DJ, apparently the Raiders are too broke to fire McDaniels?

It's going to come down to Carr or McDaniels in the offseason.

First time I’ve heard about an NFL team having cash issues in a long long time.

It's a quagmire. That's for sure.

They’ve gotta be leveraged to the hilt with the move and the new stadium.

I thought they actually made money on the move, didn’t the taxpayers build that stadium?

Not sure.

...and it just happens to be the team in Vegas. Good luck getting that NBA franchise, lol....

The Raiders cash problems won't stop an NBA team from moving there. They would have more money right now had they not given Gruden that big contract.

But I think an NBA team in the desert would be very popular. How about the Las Vegas Scorpions? When I lived out there went to Lake Mead at night to see scorpions under black lights. It was pretty cool.

MLB will be next in Vegas. They are going to tear down the Rio and build a stadium.

You want to do a bet?

 

[tlance]

Sure. If that scenario is in play, I would do it
