Rams CB Aqib Talib, on NFL Network just now: "I had a great visit with the doctor today. It looks like the week after Thanksgiving, I'll be full speed, ready to go." Rams have a bye in Week 12, then play the Lions Dec. 2, three games from now. They sure could use him.

Robert Woods is pretty good too. They have a ton of weapons. Even if Gurley went down, they also have Malcolm Brown who is pretty damn capable in his own right. [Reply]

I’m not by any means an expert in field management, but it sure seems like the NFL should have had that field redone weeks ago so the sod could root itself and not be like grass carpet...which is likely what it’s gonna be like if it’s redone this close to the game.
It’s bad enough that both teams asked the NFL if they could move the game to Denver and the NFL refused. [Reply]

I'm def. not either - I'd say it's certainly being addressed without many limitations w/ regards to expense. I suspect it'll be fine, I really do. [Reply]

You heard that wrong. Each team wanted their game @Denver to be moved to this week, so they could get acclimated to the altitude. The NFL said no to both teams obviously. [Reply]

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one that high.
I think it should be 70. Rams and Saints put 80 on the board. I don't think the Chiefs or Rams defenses are good enough to keep this one below 70. Heck, the shitty Mexico field condition might actually be the best defense in this game. [Reply]

Makes sense, really.
I hate the donks, but it wouldn't be fair if they had to play both the Chiefs and the Rambs simultaneously.

They're all cocky bandwagon shitheads who were probably Raider fans this time last year.
I remember when the Chiefs played the St. Louis Rams the year after they won the Super Bowl. I was watching the game at a bar with some other Chief fans and there was a table of Rams assholes wearing brand new jerseys there who wouldn't stop running their mouths about how badly the Chiefs would get killed.
Instead, the Chiefs beat the crap out of them. All those pricks were gone by halftime. It was beautiful. [Reply]
