Rams in a blowout. We don’t have the offense to compete. We don’t have the defense to slow them down. We don’t have the coaching to help close the gap.
 
Yep, skipping this one. No reason to ruin my Sunday afternoon
 
This game will be on my local Fox broadcast affiliate.

I’ll watch.

Lions could win.

They beat Boston earlier this year.

Game 3 of the season against a pats team missing their 2 starting cb's, just not a good team then. That game meant nothing

I hope this team gets routed and I pray Suh does something stupid. I can feel it in the air....

38-17 LA
 
Call me crazy, but I think this game will be closer than people think. For whatever reason this team seems to play better against good teams at home. I don't think LA will ever feel in danger of losing, but I also don't see a total blowout.

Riddick should have a good game today if they use him properly, keep everything outside against that defense.

If they come out running Blount into Suh/Donald over and over again then I'm done...blowout city.
 
Tony Gonzales just took a shot at Stafford on Fox NFL kickoff. Said it shows what Ebron can do with a good qb throwing him the ball. Love it
