The Rams making the playoffs twice as soon as they get there is good enough because they will keep doing it for the next few seasons in a new stadium. It was also premeditated that they wouldn't have a conf championship at the Coliseum.,hardly any box seats etc..

To whom they have invested money in building a new stadium. It will be a huge draw in that region and the entire state of California will now Air both games.
On another note having 16 games in one season at one stadium will have pretty good impact on the economy. Maybe we should get an AFC team in the dome.

Believe it or not, it hasn't been Rankins that has been the key to the Saints' ability to stop the run, it is the speed of the LB corps coupled with the entire front four. Davis, Anzalone and Klein have been eating up the run.

Yes, Rankins has emerged as the best interior defensive lineman, but Onemata, Davison and Stallworth are very close behind. They are going to be fired up and I don't think we'll see any drop off whatsoever the the intensity versus the run.

Yep. Stall worth has shown some real upside as well. I have a feeling about that kid. Ony is improving a lot

Oh, yeah. I'm sure the league office had it all planned out that way.
