L.A Falcons?

mikesaintfan · 01-29-2013, 04:00 PM

if they go, and stay in our divison, the commish will reek havoc on our schedule for the west coast game...back and forth back and forth...lots of frequent flyer miles

They wouldn't be able to hang in the West having to play SFran & Seattle each twice every season anyway. There's 3 or 4 losses right off the bat.

This discussion came up in the 1980s of Falcons leaving Atlanta, not sure where the destination would of been back then though.

Sounds good to me... The Failcons join the NFC West and maybe the Rams join the NFC South.

All I know is that the same folks that gave me hell all year when the Falcons were winning are now saying that they will pack the Falcons up and move them themselves before they approve a new overpriced stadium for them.

I don't think they are going anywhere though, sadly. This is just spin and BS.

I'd do a happy dance same time every year....
Even when I'm old because that would be the best time to do a happy dance

Why not? it would be a similarly apathetic fan base but with a larger TV market.

They, the NFL, The Powers That Be, sure want a team back in L.A.

AtlFal owner is really wrong, as they all are, for bullying cities into , "Give me a new stadium or I will move."
We here know and remember Tom Benson pulled that for a few years running.

The Superdome is the one thing this state got right. Looking at the NFL Net every morning this week, the SDome still looks good. Yes, upgrades and renovations are a must a for anything. The deal with Mercedes for funding and upgrading ,ehh, took me a while to get used to to but I understand why and how this is done by so many stadiums.

Sine the NFL wants a team there so badly, why not make a good offer to have the Davis Company m,ove the Oakland Raiders back to L.A.
Really, they have moved back and forth and the whole Oakland/Radiers thing fits with L.A.
There would have to be changes from AFC league, name, and things.
