Wonder if Kareem Jackson is a call up this week with Rapp dealing with injury. Gotta have that insurance person in case Hamlin or Bishop get hurt in the game.

I just want to toot my horn a little bit here as two years ago when that vaunted TE class was out there and the Bills took Kincaid(rightfully so), and people were boosting LaPorta his rookie season that during the draft process I continously had Tucker Kraft as my # 2 TE in the draft out of South Dakota State.
This year Kraft has 39 catches for 521 yards and 7 TD's, while people who love LaPorta around here has 36 catches for 445 yards and 5 TD's this year and Kraft still doesn't get talked about at all as one of the top young TE's in the league. Not only is he a great pass catcher but he is a really good run blocker and deserves a little more credit in circles.

About the only people that think the Rams have a reasonable chance are some Bills fans. The Rams are really not a very good team.
I think fans see fantasy guys and are attributing it to on field success.
They have names that excite people like Stafford, Kupp, Nacua, and Kyren Williams. At times they look outstanding and other times they look really disjointed as a unit.
Their really the NFC version of the Dolphins

I don't think Coleman or Rapp will play this week.
I'm fine with letting Coleman sit another week. Let him be full strength for the stretch run and playoffs.
As for Rapp, it'll be interesting to see how the Bills handle things if he doesn't play. Does Cam Lewis simply start for him? And if so, when they go into dime, does Ja'Marcus Ingram play the dime 'backer role, or do they elevate Lewis Cine (who has been practicing with both the safeties and linebackers) for a game?
Looks like we’re going to get our 2nd look at Bishop to see how much he’s improved since his first outing.Also wonder since he’s replacing Rapp if you see him doing more of what he did in college vs being in two high

There are a ton of things that can cause it from relatively minor to a death sentence. I’m sure it will leak sooner or later what’s going on

He’s probably not lifting to keep weight on and he’s probably been doing a lot of cardio

Good game that eliminates the Packers from the NFC North essentially
-
I actually disagree on the Patriots. Maye looks like he’s going to be solid at minimum. Mayo is jettisoning guys that don’t fit. Are they there yet? No of course not but I do think they’ll be the next team to challenge us but that will be another 2 or 3 years from now

My biggest thing is the Lions are going to expend a lot of energy tonight in this game. Divisional game that’s going to be physical and means a lot for both teams.
Hard to get up two weeks in a row especially with the Bills, an AFC team coming next week. They do get 10 days though

I don’t get it if it happens. You just got rid of Mack Brown and replace him with another guy who is almost done, on top of that he’s never worked with college age kids, with NIL and scholarships. It might boost recruiting a bit but how long would he actually be there

I like to go to other boards to see what they are saying about the game and the Rams have like 6 boards and all of them are crap. Maybe take your 6 boards and turn it into one good one

You know, we're running a big-ass pity party for defenders over the wrong things IMO.
These are elite athletes. The offensive skill players decide to change direction in an instant in response to defender moves. Defenders change direction in an instant in response to offensive player moves. Now all of a sudden they aren't able to go over a sliding QB or divert off to the side?There's no question in my mind that Al-Shaair deliberately forearmed Lawrence in the neck/head trying to knock him out. You don't forearm a guy to tackle him, so where does the "oh poor Al-Shaair had no time to react" pity party come from? Refs do use some discretion with their flags, if they believe the defender is legit trying to avoid the QB and go over them, put an arm down etc etc.
I do think it's legit that some QB (*cough* Mahomes *cough* Williams) fake like they're going out of bounds, defender pulls up and he dances down the sideline for another 10, defender hits him as he's stepping out of bounds it's a penalty. I don't think that should be a penalty unless the QB is clearly OOB when hit.I also do think that Brady has a point, if we want to protect QBs, why are OCs drawing up designed QB run plays like the QB draw that resulted in Lawrence getting hit?
This is true. What on earth was he thinking putting his head down and running into Hamlin?
Well to the point of Brady he couldn’t move a lick so OCs are drawing up plays for more mobile explosive QBs. Running the QB means more blockers on a play.
I’m not throwing a pity party for what he did. It was a dirty play but I do understand how difficult it has become to defend offenses with the rules and even now QBs are starting to take advantage of rules that already severely favor them beyond just Mahomes. Quarterbacks are sliding incredibly late hoping to draw an extra 15 yards. The hit on Lawrence is blatant but there have been other times, including Allen, where he has clearly flopped on contact or a defender goes over the top of a sliding QB and still gets tagged with 15 yards.

I'd got the vet route for a free safety, yes. I think Hamlin is a free agent in any event but we should be upgrading there even though the kid has played as well as anyone coukd have expected.
I don’t believe they have any intention of replacing Rapp in the starting lineup imo. I suspect ideally Bishop slots for Hamlin and thru draft a safety in the mid rounds while signing a veteran backup who can play in a pinch-

We don't need more rules. I understand what you mean.
It's called unnecessary roughness. Same thing with sacking the QB. They've have made it stupid and ridiculous.
It's a subjective call but we all know what the line is. I don't want refs thinking more than they need to
Football is not a math equation
You remove the necessity to flag a fake slide if you simply put the responsibility of the QB to protect himself.
You don't get to slide or potentially slide at the last second.
Put the responsibility on the QB. If not, then you get lit up
I understand what you’re saying but they’re not going to put the onus on the QB. They have created all of this to protect them. They’re not going to all of a sudden say well you slid late and got knocked the ***** out so that your problem. They want star QBs healthy to drive ratings, matchups and most importantly money.
Yes I agree with you from a holistic standpoint of the game and where it’s going but what your saying isn’t going to become a thing

I just think it would be cool to have two down downtrodden franchises historically playing for their first SB title against each other. Similar cities etc but I’m not so fascinated to realize that Detroit would be tough to beat and give me Atlanta or TB instead. First step is getting there even to have the chance

I think fake slides or fake going out of bounds needs to be flagged if your going down this route of safety for quarterbacks.
It’s literally a no win situation for defenders. We have seen this also with just sacking the quarterback where defenders think a QB had released the ball to avoid a late hit only to find out he still has it, gets let go and completes a pass for a long gain.
We used to see QBs in the grasp years ago because they weren’t mobile and whistles would be blown before they got thrown around to now defenders having QBs for a second or two only to see them get out of the grasp to get long yardage.
Unfortunately that’s what the NFL wants is supreme safety for quarterbacks while also driving up scoring which gives defenders a worse shot at stopping opposing teams. It’s amazing to me how defenses have adjusted to keep haves from looking like college scores with all the offensive favoritism.
Frankly, if I have seen a QB taking advantage of the sideline play, ie Mahomes, I would tell my defense to light him up the first time it happens and we’ll take the 15 and I’ll have a convo with the refs about what we’ve seen on film and will do it again if he doesn’t go out of bounds. He’d also think twice about doing it again if he just got crushed.

I mean if its the PS for now thats perfectly fine. Gives him time to get back into football shape and to acclimate back. I have no idea what the plan is for him. Does he eventually take over for Hamlin or is he there more to be a mentor and locker room guy for a guy like Bishop.

Maybe sending QB Mike White back to PS after generously giving him a little holiday bonus with a 53-man gameday check.
White is still part of the PS, he was just one of the callups this week, he reverts automatically back to the PS unless the Bills sign him to the 53. Just giving him a Christmas bonus.

A 6-6 team from a bad division…some of the bed-wetters here act like we’re playing the 1999 Rams…
Yea I've watched them quite a bit just cause their a fun team to watch and they are so damn inconsistent in every area. Your see the talent and they'll awe you with a crosser for Nacua for 40 and your like damn and then do absolutely nothing. They'll look like they have a relentless pass rush then other teams are just completing the ball all over them. They are very capable but incredibly bipolar football team.

It’s basically between Denver and now Baltimore and Indy and Miami has a shot if they win 5 in a down and things fall into place for them.
I still think the Steelers and Chargers are going to drop back a bit as well but both those teams have been proving me wrong

He’s not coming back. Beane has been pleasant with his GM speak out of respect for Hyde and his career
Excluding JA, predict your impact player - Bills at Rams (includes final injury report)

Taron Johnson, will have the privilege of covering Kupp and/or Nacua in this game and will play a vital part in stopping Kyren Williams in the run game. This is the type of game why you pay Taron Johnson what you do.
