Just imagine being a Rams fans and having to suffer during upcoming drafts when your 1st round picks have been wasted on the likes of Jalen Ramsey and Matthew Stafford and your 2nd and 3rd round picks have been squandered on a Von Miller.

Just like Tampa Bay that went all in last year by signing Brady, Fournette, Antonio Brown, trading for Gronk, etc., the Rams are likely looking at a serious re-build in the near future.

The Bucs and Rams can keep their Lombardis, the Green Bay Packers have won a lot of games for a lot of years, still have all of our draft picks (just like every years) in the upcoming drafts, and have Jordan Love waiting in the wings.

No wonder the Packers remain the envy of the league.

:lol: gimme that Lombardi we been starving for a decade

Only on the Packers board can people bitch n moan about not going "all in" right after a year where they purposefully went "all in" by pushing every cap hit off a year and we've been discussing who's gonna be let go and who we can actually keep because we went "all in" because something something "the team isn't aggressive enough"

Can't afford to give up J'Mon Moores and Vince Biegels for these guys, are you crazy?

GMs and scouts think way too much of their talent evaluation skills. Their hits are random. Their misses are random. If a roster is close, they'd be dumb not to give up everything past like round 2 for disgruntled stars. Sure, you might forego drafting the next George Kittle, but that's like winning scratch-offs at 7-11.

Almost, but not enough. Year 3 of WR2 being ignored. While many bites in the ass caused our demise, this was also an avoidable one.

A few years ago I used to watch the commercials on YouTube the next day because my foreign channel wouldn't show commercials.

But now I see the commercials and so many of them sucked. Especially this year.

I said out loud several times today "I can't believe someone paid $7 million dollars to show this garbage"

There were a few entertaining ones but so majority were just bad.

That Boyd drop on the Bengals second to last possession was a killer. It was going to be close but I think he gets the first down.

Yeah, that one hurt. I think he gets it, if not they probably go for it and ice the game away IF they get the first. Crazy that he hadn't dropped a pass all season long until then.

Maybe the Packers have broken my brain but that 4th quarter felt like a summary of so many packer heartbreaks. Had the lead but kept going 3 and out, d is somehow holding on but you just feel like it won't last. Close plays that you have to stew about 'what if'. Once the rams got that first first down on the last drive I knew they were scoring.

If you want to add on to that thought process look up a pic of Chase and how he had Ramsey on the ground the final play but since Donald got home Burrow had no time to find him

The photos from the Rams parade are hilarious. Why did the NFL need to have 2 teams in LA?

NBA draws much better there though. You go to any of the Chargers or Rams games and it's the opposing teams' fans taking over. Heck, Raiders are still considered LA's favorite team by many that still live there.

Media. Was never about actual fans, which is dumb. One of them will wise up and leave 20 years from now, possibly then followed by the other, and the cycle will begin anew.

Putting the Chargers there was assnine and it's not going to work. The Rams might work because you do have some history there.

Opposing fans filling the stadiums is just the reality for any of the southern cities with tons of transplants. It's so easy to get tix off StubHub for the one time your team visits. That's not changing nor unique to LA.

I'm eyeballing the Tampa game next year, especially if it's later in the season and Brady doesn't come back. Those tix will be plentiful. Not "cheap" though. Packer fans travel and it's almost always the most expensive home game wherever we play. At Miami will be an easy ticket to get too and cheaper than Tampa but I like going to Tampa more than Miami.

Dallas tickets at Lambeau will be through the roof. I'm hoping it's one of the 2 in my season ticket package. Rams will be big but they just played at Lambeau in 2021.
