All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I don't think it matters a whole lot whether a team has something to play for or not. Does anyone really expect the Steelers to lay down against us, just because they have clinched the 1st seed?
Even if the Rams lose tonight, I expect they'll be trying like Hell to be a "spoiler" in front of their home fans against the Jets.
(And look at how the Jags, Ravens and Jets performed in their "must win" games yesterday.)
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
The second best reason to try to win a game with playoff implications is to keep your opponent out of the playoffs when your team already has no chance.
Even if the Rams lose today they'll have plenty of incentive to give it their best in their last home game of the season. In fact, it might make them more relaxed and tougher to beat.
Not to mention I need Torry "Big Game" Holt to have a good day. I need 16 points out of him tonite for a trip to my Fantasy League Super Bowl...Let's go Rams, Let's GO!!!!!!

No game is meaningless in the NFL, anyway. Besides pride and professionalism, players are often playing for jobs next year, or bigger contracts, or to meet contractual incentives, or to grab the brass ring in free agency.

But the Steelers are a good team... have been from the beginning of the season.
The Rams on the otherhand, are a team that's playing like it's one of the worst in the league. If they lose tonight, I suspect they'll keep playing that way against the Jets.
But if they have a reason to win next week (by beating the iggles today), we might be seeing all that talent on that team actually amount to something.
