So... no Superbowl for the Cowgirls!!!

Love the Lambs smelling up the place in LA. I can't wait until the fans there turn on the team. Should only be another couple of games. StanK needs to just sell every team he owns. He's got to be one of the worst sports owners in the past 50 years. I would say all time but before there were player unions involved I'm sure owners did some legitimately terrible things that would blow our minds. If I remember correctly, one Cleveland baseball owner literally traded all of his good players to the St. Louis Browns (including Cy Young and another future HOF'er) and took on the Browns worst players because he wasn't getting along with the public in Cleveland due to his business practices. And that's probably just a funny story compared to other things that went on.

I still think it's absolute garbage that when the Rams were in STL it was "get out and support your team if you want them to stay!"

Now that they're in LA, it's "Team needs to shape up if they don't want to lose fans!"

There many empty seats at the LA Rams games?

Everything about the NFL's way of doing business is just garbage these days.

We'll see. They've played a super soft schedule (only beat 1 team with a winning record, and that was a 4-point win over the Redskins who are 4-3-1).

The thing is, their schedule is pretty soft for the rest of the year, too. They'll win a lot of games this year, but an early playoff exit wouldn't surprise me.

I like Prescott as an average-ish NFL starter. Maybe a rich man's Alex Smith. But I don't really see him as a Super Bowl QB. I think that OL/running game makes him look better than he really is. There's some teams that could shut that run game down and I'm not sure he has the ability to beat good playoff teams with his arm. The NFC is kind of weak this year so it's possible they make the Super Bowl, but I wouldn't expect them to win it.

With a historically great defense that gave up 23 points in four playoff games. The Cowboys don't have that.

But they got a stellar RB and a great OL
