Welcome to the biggest and most-hyped game of the year so far, folks. It's not taking place in Mexico City as planned, but the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to do battle in what promises to be one of the highest-scoring games of the 2018 NFL season. The Rams enter the game at 9-1 and the Chiefs have the same record. The offenses are explosive. The design of those offenses, thanks to Sean McVay and Andy Reid, are arguably the two most creative in the NFL.

There will be stars all over the field. Jared Goff. Patrick Mahomes. Todd Gurley. Kareem Hunt. Brandin Cooks. Tyreek Hill. Robert Woods. Travis Kelce. Aaron Donald. Dee Ford. Ndamukong Suh. Justin Houston.




The NFL is banking on this being a thing, they staffed the on field crew with All-Stars:

Can this even come close to living up to the hype?

When was the last time the NFL moved refs around to a big game?

The field got torn up a month ago, then the stadium officials shrugged and went "eh, its fine." When the NFL flew down a week ago, they freaked out.

The NFL said "It's fine, it will be fine in 6 days."

and the players and media went "gently caress this" and the NFL caved.

Why in god's name would they say it's fine? Bribery? No soccer games happening?

They even started putting sod down 6 days out right on top and were just "it's fine"


Losing millions of dollars in hotels, concessions, etc is why they said it's fine

Why didn't they just...fix it after the concert instead of pretending everything's fine?

Concert was on Saturday night, they checked the field Sunday, 7 days out from the game.

The head NFL groundskeeper said he could get the field playable in 3 months if they let nobody on it....


...and they said they could do it in 7 days.

I think I heard the concert that tore things up happened like a month ago and they just had so many events they never had a chance to fix things?

And/or they didn't bother to try.

Before his justice gimmick his gimmick was being the biggest Alex Smith hater in the world.

He got toxxed to not be able to say anything bad about Alex Smith for a year and it broke him forever.
