17 Game Season

[HE WITH HORNS]

Ahhh insulting fellow Rams fans is sarcasm. Missed the blue font sorry.

I wasn't insulting our fans that actually show up, I'm just upset that other teams can bring half the crowd at times. I think a superbowl win might change that here in the next couple years.

I’d like to petition that the Rams always play their 17th game against the worst team in the league each season. I haven’t asked for much.

Not so fast! Maybe the 2nd worst team would be better:

They still thinking about neutral sites or will they be alternating away for NFC then AFC?

In case anyone was curious how the 17th game effected contracts and cap...

our schedule saya AT Ravens, nothing neutral about this

No shit. Ravens matchup sucks. But if we tool the rest of this roster to ensure we beat the 9ers, i.e. address the trenches a bit, we should be ok.

Niners get the Bengals.
Seahawks get the Steelers
Cardinals get the Browns
Rams get the Ravens

That seems even

Yeah gotta feel bad for the Ravens, only team going to take an L for the 17th game.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Ugh sucks that we get the Ravens for that game.

Maybe both teams will have won their divisions or even get a first round bye locked in by then.

But yeah. It sucks to play a physical defense a week before the playoffs.

Neutral field, stadiums not in an NFL city aka Mexico City, London, Portland, San Antonio etc etc. From what they said the Ravens and Rams game won't be played in either Baltimore or Los Angeles. This is what they'd floated early in the discussion for a 17th game though to keep it balanced. You can't have a balanced schedule with half the teams playing 1 more home game.

The AFC home one year and NFC home the next could have some serious implications on some teams struggling to reach the playoffs.

Great. Geez. On the road to Baltimore for us.

I’d feel better about all of this if teams were given an extra bye week.

 

[Ellard80]

We get Baltimore for our 17th game. Also I like games being on Amazon Prime.

shouldn't it be an NFC team?
I see it out there as well.. confusing.. why would it be an AFC team.


strange.

Rotating with an AFC team based on their finish in the division. It’s like the cycle where we play one ADC division yearly but the one game is from the division we played now two years ago. They did this so you won’t play the same inter conference team two years in a row. Keeping opponents cycling and fresher.

So if (when) this becomes official, will they just add this to the end of the schedule? All the games would be played week 18? If so, hopefully the Rams have already clinched home field for the playoffs and they can send the practice squad to Baltimore to play the game.

Yes. That's a physical team so resting key guys would be nice there.

Truth be told only SF gets off easy. Steelers and Browns will be tough on the road too.

 

[RhodyRams]

has it been determined that the game vs. Baltimore will be the last game of the season?

I havent seen that anywhere

No it'll be mixed in with the other games and the schedule will be set up like before.

I think if it were an NFC team it would screw up a lot of tiebreakers for playoff seeding
