Right now the LA Rams are in a little bit of turbulent water. Let's see what happens with SoFi financing, the lawsuits in St. Louis, their salary cap, etc. I wonder how, with an eight billion dollar project that they're not leveraged and hurting, but I also don't know a ton about that stuff, so it's really speculation. I'm just wondering why the weren't very forthcoming with player salaries recently.

So a few less billion than eight. An original tag of 2.2 billion dollars with a cost overrun towards more like 5-6 billion, per the first article.
Makes more sense on the Gurley and Matthews front. Time value of money and all of that.

I am amazed Jets have such few votes. Your star player is calling out your ####ty coach and unethical ambassador owner... and demanding a trade. There is absolutely no control in that org. There is absolutely no hope. Nothing to look forward to. The only thing that Jets fans can look forward to is when the owner is forced to sell, and the coach is fired.

feel like I've typed this a few times...
The New York Jets are 7-9 in the last 16 games
The Detroit Lions are 2-14.
Patricia has lost 12/13.
They have blown a double digit lead six consecutive games, an NFL record. The old record was three.
Shawtup Gang Green. You have a Super Bowl win. Try being the only franchise which has existed through the entire Super Bowl era and never having gone.

You have got to admit that Houston is looking much better than a week ago, after firing OBrien, but they are still right at the top of this list. Jets/Texans 1a/1b.

Aren't the Giants like 1 game out of 1st? Sure then. If they get to play in the NFC East for sure.

I know this is an old poll but there’s still only one team that was in existence when the Super Bowl began which has never made it. One 
(1) Conference Championship Game, blowout loss. No division titles in 26 years.
They’ve got a franchise QB any other organization would have leveraged into a decade of excellence. Matthew Stafford has played with a 100 yard rusher 11 times in 12 years (9-2 when it happens.) Two 2nd rounders spent at RB the last 3 seasons, when most teams unearth the same quality at the position with a 3rd, 4th or UDFA. Not to mention a 1st before that who couldn’t stay healthy - and that was known before they drafted Best.
They spent 4 #1 picks in 5 years at WR before they got it right. They wasted three top 20 picks on TE - nobody else has EVER squandered so much on the position - until they landed the underutilized Hockenson.
The Fords bought the team at 11am on 11/22/1963. JFK was shot ninety minutes later. In the 101 seasons the NFL has been around, the only player to ever die on the field was a Detroit Lion. Ten years ago the refs screwed us out of a game winning TD in which a man caught a ball with two hands, two feet, a knee, & hip down THEN palmed the ball before they ruled he didn’t “complete the process.” Took the league 8 years to admit that rule needed to be rewritten.
How the #### anybody can look at that body of work and deem them the fourth most dysfunctional NFL franchise is beyond comprehension.

I love hearing about Caldwell and he was a very good person. But he was handed one of the softest schedules in NFL history when he went 11-5 with the Lions. I'm not saying Patricia is better by any means but Caldwell almost never won against teams with a winning record. On paper, his record as Lions coach looks impressive: 36–28 (.563). But the reality is that he only averaged 1 quality win a year. If you were a team that finished the season with a winning record and you played the Lions, chances are you won almost 95% of the time.

Should we feel bad for Jets fans? This is painful to watchFaust said:

I voted for Washington and i did it for a longer period of time than just 2020.
It's a real shame how far that franchise has fallen, I actually finally feel bad for that fan base, my first SB was Riggins running us over and so I always disliked them but over the last 10-20 years, enough is enough and those are distant memories these days,, I'd like to see the team return to respectability.
The Jets are certainly on a short list here.
