    They aren’t moving until after the stadium is built, and they don’t even have renderings of it yet. They will be another couple of years in Oakland no matter what, so they presumably won’t be up and coming at that point.

    ———–

    O man. So the Oakland fans are gonna keep them for another year or two?

    Thats gonna be weird. And ugly. And fun to watch.

    the window of opportunity to win a SB in Oakland is open now.

    they have the team and structure in place.

    1) They have the GM (Executive of the year)
    2) They have the coach
    3) They have the franchise QB
    4) They have a young balanced team.
    5) Tom Brady is old, thus Oakland can get deep in the playoffs….

    This open window could’ve also taken advantage of the SF bay area fan base, as the 49ers window to win now is far from open, but Oakland wants the big payday in a much smaller market in Vegas….

    2 years is a long time to be lame duck…. anything can happen, I’m not sold yet on the LV Raiders.

    that’s too bad… losing Britt and now Quick… big receivers are gone and we’re stuck with 5’7″ Tavon.

    I know folks stated that Quick may have struggled with the playbook or learning the offense…

    1) same with Goff at QB, struggles with grasping the offense…
    2) the line struggled with playing with blocking for Gurley last year.

    a chronic problem with learning the Rams O………..Perhaps the teachers sucked at instructing the students……

    Both my father and my father-in-law cited Kapernick as the reason they didn’t watch the 49ers this year.

    a very common tale amongst 49er fans this season…..

    reality is 2-14 was the reason that they didn’t watch games…..

    Sadly, the Rams were 0-2 against them.

    a couple of things….

    1) I have always thought that if CK7 didn’t losE the starting gig in SF that he wouldn’t have taken a knee…..

    2) hmm……. Tom Brady a member of the black panther party ? I’m sure Boston wouldn’t care after the 4th qtr in the Super Bowl, but I’m not sure the Black Panther Oakland chapter were too happy with the Tuck Rule….they’d never let Brady in the party in the 1st place…..

    He really threw a lot of accurate quick darts in that offense, under
    plenty of duress.

    Still, i wouldnt want him as my franchise QB. There’s just somethin
    about Sam i dont like. I cant quite put my finger on it.

    w
    v

    He’s a very good QB…… I’d take him over most of the NFL playoff QBs from last year, with the exception of Rodgers, Wilson and Carr…… I’d take Sam over Brady only because Brady is 105 years old in NFL years….

    Give me Sam over Prescott, Ryan, Big Ben, Alex Smith and Dieter Osweiler…..

    I think he’s won the gig over Teddy the Bridge over troubled Waters…..

    the guy has a 4-2 playoff record….3-1 road playoff record…. the road playoff win in Green Bay in -10 degree win chill was one of the most impressive road wins that I can remember.

    Before Tom Brady came back against the Falcons, CK7 overcame a 17-0 deficit to beat the Falcons in ATL for a playoff game…

    teams gave 2nd chances to dickheads like Jeff George, Jay Cutler, Mark Sanchez and I’ll put Brock Osweiler on the list…..

    for as bad as he CK7 has played the past 2 years, the guy showed that he can play and win in some big games.

    If you had a game to win, would you start Case Keenum, Goff, or CK7?

    He took a knee, so what?

    If you give Ray Rice a 2nd chance, give this guy one too…..

    wow, what a dick…. (Brock O)

    Brock must have been pissed for losing his starting job to Tom Savage….. Brock was lucky the Raiders had to start Cook over Carr in the playoffs… Texans Offense was terrible with Brock……..

    Tom Savage from Wiki:
    In 2016, Savage entered the Week 15 game in the second quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars in relief of Brock Osweiler, who was benched after throwing back-to-back first half interceptions. Savage brought the team back from a 13–0 deficit and completed 23-of-36 pass attempts for 260 passing yards as he led the Texans to a 21–20 comeback win.

    Savage was named the starting quarterback for the week 16 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He completed 18-of-29 passes for 176 yards in the 12-10 win against the Bengals, clinching the AFC South title for the Texans. In Week 17, Savage left the game in the second quarter with an apparent concussion but later returned to the game for one play; which was a kneeldown at the end of the second quarter. During halftime, he was re-evaluated for a concussion and ruled out for the rest of the game. Due to Savage’s injury, Osweiler started the team’s Wild Card Round playoff win against the Oakland Raiders. Shortly after the game, head coach Bill O’Brien announced that Osweiler would remain the team’s starter for the Divisional round playoff game.[19] Savage then cleared concussion protocol and was Osweiler’s backup for the Divisional round playoff loss against the New England Patriots.

    Every vote like this is going to just kill the Reps in 2018. Trust me, people are keeping track.

    Waterfield Said:

    Most-if not all -of my Republican friends think the DOE is just some small agency somewhere.

    Zooey Said

    I think people care about things that personally impact them.

    1) MAC I don’t think people will keep track very long… very short memories. The majority of folks that I know that voted for Trump don’t realize or forgot how much of a mess the country was in when Obama took over, on the brink of economic depression, the US$ was in the tank, unemployment was high, if was a complete mess…… I ask people that complain about Obama, “what did Barry do in the past 8 years that affected you in a negative way?” they have no valid answer, in fact, some of these voters benefited from getting out of their foreclosures and ended up with new homes in the past 6 years and they still think democrats are bullshit….

    When they tell me that they voted for Trump over HRC after Trump was the biggest ass on the campaign trail, they bring up Clinton corruption and email BS. I reply, the FBI doesn’t fuck around and will bust people as warranted, but they don’t get it. They don’t care that Trump U was a fraud, they don’t care that he went bankrupt 6 times, they don’t care that he grabbed pussy and marred a commie’s daughter… they don’t care….

    2) Waterfield is right, these people think president’s cabinet is something you install in your kitchen or bathroom.. they have no friggen clue…..they think Devos wrote and sang “WHIP IT”

    3) It’s gonna take a big fucking impact like the great recession of 2007… they don’t like women in charge and they don’t like minorities in charge, you can’t reason with these people, they blame ISIS in Obama and have no clue that Bush invaded the wrong country that spawned a lot of this mess.

    I mean how could Bush II win a second term against Kerry?

    Savage, Rush, Hannity and these right wing hacks successfully did their job and with explosion of social media, these people are getting news based on their ideals…..

    These right wing voters are more loyal to the party than we are to the RAMS after 13 losing seasons…….at least we complain and are very critical about the Rams inept performances, these voters RARELY, IF EVER are critical of the people they voted for…..

    Either way, Atlanta never had to be a clutch team all season. They were always front runners.
    You;re not in clutch situations if your offense is outscoring teams by that margin all season. In fact there was only 1 game all year where the Falcons had to win the game coming from behind and that was against Green Bay’s mediocre defense. Yesterday in contrast Ryan was put in a clutch situation against a very good defense.

    So I blame LaFleur for coaching the Falcons to be season-long frontrunners who never learned how to play in clutch time.

    Sort of like the 2001 Rams…. …..ironically, one of the tightest games that the Rams actually won during the 2001 regular season was in New England…….the other 3 close games, the Rams lost to the Bucs, Saints and ultimately the Pats in the SB…

    It’s a special skill to manage a game to win during crunch time…..Belichick does that very very well…..

    All i know is, what was going on, on that field, was NOT
    the kind of football that goes on when i watch the Rams.

    Atlanta and New England play Pro Football.

    What exactly do the Rams play?

    w
    v

    ATL was 1 for 8 on 3rd down conversions.
    Penalized 9 times.
    4 penalties resulted NE 1st downs.
    relinquish lead in the 2nd half without scoring…

    That’s pretty fucking close to Rams football……

    And frankly I don’t buy this idea that he’s just a naive conduit for Bannon. Trump knew exactly what he was choosing in Bannon and there is no other candidate for office last year, in the primaries or since, who would give a Bannon the time of day.

    I’m not sure that Trump picked Bannon. I think Bannon jumped from the Cruz / Fiorina sinking ship to bail out Trump’s campaign….

    I think Bannon’s seat on Trump’s team was picked at the time that Bannon’s investment team bailed out Trump’s campaign… in otherwords, the deal with the devil was made at that time….

    The lies fly out of the White House like flocks of pigeons: Donald Trump’s election victory was a landslide. He had the largest inauguration crowds in American history. Three million to 5 million undocumented immigrants voted illegally. Climate change is a hoax. Vaccines cause autism. Immigrants are carriers of “[t]remendous infectious disease.” The election was rigged—until it wasn’t. We don’t know “who really knocked down” the World Trade Center. Torture works. Mexico will pay for the wall. Conspiracy theories are fact. Scientific facts are conspiracies. America will be great again.

    Our new president, a 70-year-old with orange-tinted skin and hair that Penn Jillette has likened to “cotton candy made of piss,” is, as Trump often reminds us, “very good looking.” He has almost no intellectual accomplishments—he knows little of history, politics, law, philosophy, art or governance—but insists “[m]y IQ is one of the highest—and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure, it’s not your fault.” And the mediocrities and half-wits he has installed in his Cabinet have “by far the highest IQ of any Cabinet ever assembled.”

    THIS IS FUCKED UP MAN!!!!
