Was kinda laughing when i was at the Chargers/Rams game last night. ZERO starters played...
Might never go back to how it was with starters playing a half in the week 3 (dress rehearsal) game. At least not established starters. I wonder if any teams do this as in the past if week 2 will now be that week since only 3 games.

I don't think anyone on the starting lines played even a snap. Agree, lack of TDs not an issue since they were moving up and down field (only 2 punts and one really late). and, of course, entire offense was backups. DPJ played a lot in first half and did well.

I think Urban will succeed as he always does if he'll listen to others when it comes to finding players. If he is in charge like Butch was he'll have trouble.

When will the starters get some time on the field, will it be next game or the last preseason game? I still say a 17 game season sounds weird. Only a matter of time before it's 18 game don't you think?

And I never wanna hear that the owners care about players health. Maybe in the almighty name of money the league will go complete dumbass and make it a 20 game season? I'm waiting for day/night doubleheaders.

Not surprised by that. How's the new stadium? Oh yeah fuck Rams owner Stan Kroenke. That mutha fucker also owns the Nuggets. Thanks to him can't watch the games here. The station that carries the games, altitude, well that asshole wants to raise the monthly fee from $8 to 40+.

My guess is 18 games will happen, too. Hopefully with 2 bye weeks. More football sounds OK by me. Wouldn't put it all on owners, either...as long as the players get their piece of the pie they'll go along with it.

As for starters? Honestly I'm not sure. Wont surprise me if the established starters don't see the field more than a series if at all. Maybe some rookies will play more.

Well, Kroenke might well be a dick, but that stadium's a helluva seat for football. Might end up going again next Saturday...

Make sure to wear some Chiefs gear if you go to another game there.

It's not if they move to an 18 game schedule, it's when. Right now the NFL's the only sports league in the country that plays an odd number of games. And that ain't right.

did that last night. seems like evrryone wore their colors. saw Eagles, Cowboys, Raiders, and Broncos there too, among others...

That's really cool. What I'm wondering is we all know how violent Raiders fans were back in Oakland towards anyone that had the cojones to wear the opposing teams colors.

I don't see the Vegas Metro cops putting up with anything like that. Granted it's now been 11 years since I left that area but when I first arrived I was told by many locals never fuck with Metro because they shoot first then start asking questions.

Maybe they're kinder and gentler now, but I doubt it.

I think I'd wait and see how it plays out first. If they go to a 12 team playoff not sure why most teams in BIG would be affected.

Wouldn't mind if BIG just added WVU and maybe someone else (assuming ND still off table).

They'd never add WVU because of academics.

Oops...totally forgot about that. Not sure who they can consider among Pitt, Okie State, ISU. Would love to see ND forced to join a conference (though they could opt to stick withh ACC if they were).
