Franchise, raising the stick, after the transfer of 22 years in St. Louis, Rams will play their first home game of the 2017 regular season from 2016 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Rams When you play the Dallas Cowboys in the pre-season game last month, nearly 90,000 of the record crowd, crammed a historic venue, and attendance of another bumper is forecast for Sunday.
This is, NFL owners, in the United States to the second largest media market Rams' only when you vote 30-2 to approve the return, it will be the latest milestone of homecoming that has been confirmed in January .
Rams is putting the final some estimates nearly $ 300 million price tag, move to the 70,000-seat arena gleaming that it ever is the most expensive sports stadium was built in Inglewood on the course you.
However, the mood of euphoria is already, in Santa Clara on Monday night, has been given a sharp reality check after a humiliating 28-0 opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The shutout against the side is, he served as a sobering reminder that in particular does not point out that it has a terrible defense, and painful team is the last season of the 8-8 record is kept of the work in progress It was.
- This for '22 years'? -
"We, this waited 22 years for?" Was withering verdict of columnist Bill Pula Suquet of the Los Angeles Times. "As go premiere, it was a face plant on the red carpet."
Concise post-mortems were also emphasized the broad essential face Rams' head coach Jeff Fisher and general manager Les Need. Capital of the world of entertainment will put up the failed team to capture the imagination for so long.
"LA is, they are cities that want a winner. You have to win in the city," Eric Dickerson, says the Rams running back legend from 1983 from 1987.
Since we do not have that kind of their fans in Green Bay Packers fans and (Pittsburgh) Steelers only loyal hardcore fan, such as a fan, "It's about winning in all of Los Angeles.
"We've done, it does not yet wish, Rams've been doing for so long," still set in the 1984 season, 2105, in a hurry Dickerson that holds the NFL record for most yards ,Added.
To evidence of San Francisco of defeat, Rams and their fans are likely to face a long courtship. Expectations Todd Gurley be an important element of the Rams offense this season has rushed 17 times for a running back, only 47 yards.
Girly Sunday, which boasts one of the best defense in the league, is rarely given any easy ride against Seattle.
- 'Doom and gloom' -
Fisher, franchise number 1 draft pick of the preceding Sean Mannion that he backs up, but suggested it can be tempted to raise the Jareddogofu, the quarterback, the meantime, the case Keenum, it can start again.
Failure of Rukigofu - has been selected in the view to become a franchise of the face of the next 10 years - in order to determine the starting berth is already scared a fan of the Rams.
Carson Wentz, select the second overall after Gough, throwing for nearly 300 yards and 2 touchdowns, he has played a league debut to shine last weekend for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fisher, however, pulled the proposal of the downbeat mood after the debacle of the 49ers, I put a brave face on the disappointing week.
"It is the topic," said Fisher said in the city of all of the NFL. "Team, Hey" are won, they would be in the playoffs. "Team" They are not going to the playoffs. ", You lose it is the fate and gloom. You are not caught up in it.
"You just focus on what you are doing -. Prepare to have fun and look to each other."
