I was parked at a stop light. lol. Plus, didn’t want to give any Vikings lurker any competitive edge :D

Winds are insane this morning. So this isn’t getting better any time soon. Probably was best they moved the game.

I’m heading to Vegas later today. Hence my Vegas bias. lol.

My hope is that the refs have sympathy on the Rams.

Lots of Rams people will be in AZ wondering if their houses will still be standing when they get back to LA.

Considering we were looking at a strong Rams majority at SoFi, according to ticket agencies, it doesn't seem Vikings fans are in a mood to travel for this one. It's not like tickets to SoFi were hard to get, plenty on StubHub for reasonable prices.

Hopefully that bodes will for Phoenix...

It would also seem to me that it is less likely that people would make last-minute travel arrangements for a Monday night game than they would for a weekend game.

With so many distractions and serious disruption to life to all associated with this team and everyone in LA, it will be a huge task for MCV et al to get and keep this team prepared and focused. If anyone can do it, it’s this team. A football game, even a playoff game, is insignificant considering what is going on here. That said, it is a respite from the madness for 3+ hours come Monday night.

I hope the Rams take those 3+ hours and make us all very happy through that temporary respite from thinking about all this devastation and loss.

Go Rams!

I wonder if they will paint the to indicate that the Rams are the "home team." It would be kind of funny to have a division rival's field painted that way.

I think this could go either way. Sometimes, a distraction involving real-word issues can help galvanize a team to play more loose, as the pressure of a playoff game now seems trivial compared to what the city is going through.

I agree that this is where McVay can shine. He is a great motivator and communicator.

I would think the hassle for those that made arrangements to go from Minn to LA might discourage them as they do not want to deal with the additional logistics to change plans to go to AZ

I still think it will be a more neutral game than a HF advantage for either team.

We will see.
