I usually can't stand one sided games but when it's a team I don't like and a player I hate I can make exceptions. Was a joy to was Seattle dominate from start to finish
I know how much it hurts to lose the SB in close/well matched games but to get absolutely hammered like that must be embarrasing aswell.

Probably will lose a few players but while the big three off the field (Allen, Schneider, Carroll) hang around feel the team will be competitive at least.
I know of Howard but he was slightly before my time.
Of course Seattle will be competitive SB contenders. It will just be interesting how they handle it. Schneider is, I believe, previously part of GB staff. Will he follow the Ted Thompson route of personnel management or pay whatever to keep them all.
It isn't so much players getting their heads turned just realistically they will all get bumper deals which means something will have to give elsewhere. Salary this year for Sherman, Browner, Chancellor, Thomas, Wagner, Wilson, Tate is circa $13 million.

Don't think Seattle would miss Tate & Browner out of the above.
Looking to next year who from the AFC will challenge the NFC heavyweights next season?

They probably wouldn't miss them or could certainly cope without them. It was more that the entire legion of boom and then Wilson and a WR cost the same as Aaron Rodgers/Peyton Manning/Brees.
NFC is so much better than the AFC overall. There are more quality teams in the NFC than AFC. My pick would be Indy or Houston (aside from the usual Denver/NE).
Must be Peyton but as to why I don't know. Every time I've seen him being interviewed he's come across as a nice person person with no airs and graces and not in the slightest bit arrogant. Though I bet he wishes he had a rule named after him like Tom Brady did after the Raiders AFC Championship game several years back

Listening to the ATL podcast yesterday and the topic of Sam Bradford was discussed. Interested to hear what the Rams fans on here think. Keep Bradford or draft a QB? Manziel, Bridgewater, Bortles
I've not seen enough of him to have a definitive answer but he strikes me as having Matt Cassell syndrome - ie OK on a good team but not the type to drag a bad/average team up.

I believe the Rams are keeping Sam Bradford.

I'm happy with sticking with Bradford for another year. Statistically, he was on course for his best season before he was injured last year and I think we would have gone on to get a winning record if he'd played all 16 games.
He's never going to be in the upper echelon of QB's, but assuming he can come back fully fit I see him as capable of being a good solid QB, who gives us a chance of making a run at the playoffs.
