The two people above me said it already, but here's my two cents anyway.
That's how it's been through the entire season; we've been 31st in defense for quite some time now. Every game, it's simply come down to, "This is going to be a game of offenses, and ours is better." Fact is, Rodgers can't be stopped, so it doesn't matter how our defense is. If the opposing QB isn't playing at Rodgers' level, they're not going to win.

The Vikings stadium issue are somewhat larger at this point than any other team, so a move for them is quite likely after the end of the season. The Chargers are probably are going to move to LA as well (since it's obviously a market that can support two teams, though they might not play in the same stadium), it's not going to be until after 2012. The Raiders have their short, medium, and long stadium issues worked out just fine, though they aren't going to say a peep about it for fear of jinxing it.

Hmm interesting points.
In this age of austerity it does seem like the Viks have the roughest go of it. Plus naturally the NFL will heavily weigh in the favor of LA vs. the Twin Cities in terms of potential money bins. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if North Star Country found some money at the LAST MINUTE to build some sort of stadium to not piss off constituents. (Americans hate spending public money except for schools and private sporting enterprises) |

It's quite likely, but then you have to wonder what team would become the new Vikings? The only team I could see moving to a place other than LA (in other words, don't count on the Raiders or Chargers) would be the Jaguars. Can't really see any other teams raising anchor.

Pfft. Trauma. I love me some football but frankly people in Cleveland don't have much else to look forward too from their city, Minny does. We sure love throwing money at the prospect of throwing money at something. But that's another story.
It could be a Browns type situation but the NFL is adamant on not expanding and I don't blame them. That being said, I don't want to see Minny loose it's team. Oakland or SD seem like easier fits. The Jags have a lease on their stadium until the END OF DAYS. They aren't going anywhere. Frankly It will be interestng to see a team in LA. Especially if the Farmer's Field goes up, there will be NO PARKING!!! |

Expansion team? Doubt it, pragmatic reasons or not, the NFL has the perfect division alignment going right now; 32 teams in 8 divisions. Add another team and it will be ruined. They know that much. I think Minnesota will get their new stadium, the state government has gone from being dead-set against it to actively trying to find ways to fund it in a matter of months.
The only way they expand is if Goodell is dead set on having oversea teams and nobody is willing to relocate, which hopefully won't happen. Last edited by Dilla; 2011-12-09 at 20:33. |

Wouldn't you need at least another 7 teams? To make another division per conference, or add one team per current division? And why would the current Vikings need to move if the NFL would be willing to just toss up an expansion team? Why couldn't LA get the expansion team?
