Maybe I'm pulling this out of my butt, but doesn't McD's defense usually snap back hard after a let down game? 

 

I'll attribute that breakdown to the heat, missing Milano and Edmunds, and the offensive 3-and-outs in the third quarter. Plus a wily veteran QB who know where to attack. Here's hoping we get Matt & Tre back and we right things at home. But if we lose a game, losing to an NFC opponent hurts least. Anyone know if the Rams are staying on the East coast this week?

Planning on pulling some fire alarms?

The Rams will be traveling. They aren't allowed to stay on the east coast because of COVID rules.

I think they should take a quick trip to Asia to get their “official” checkups, then maybe have a stop to see the London venue for preparation for their next NFL exhibition. A night back in LA, then fly into WNY.  :)

 

I actually thought some teams were staying on the east coast. Not sure about the rules or what teams are planning.

I’d agree, a fullback will help whether that is Gilliam or Smith.  Smith seems like the better choice in terms of lead blocking.  🤞👏 Fingers crossed on Milano and Edmunds back by Sunday. Motor needs to get the bulk of the carries as Moss looked like a rookie yesterday.  Singletary gets those tough yards and has that explosion.


Oh, amd giving us three points is basically a pick em game as Vegas even in a Covid year with no fans seems to still give three to the home team if they believe they are even.

 

We may have Gilliam and Smith suiting up since Knox got concussed.

Goff is Goff. He is capable of having good games and putting up stats, but he is not a gamer and can't put the team on his back when needed. He needs playmakers to make plays for him.

 

I'll take Allen over Goff. But this game seems pretty evenly matched to me. I'd feel a lot better if I knew Edmunds and Milano will be back. My bet is Edmunds will play but Milano will not.

 

And obviously our offensive line has not been tested by an effective pass rush. They'll get one of the best pass rushers in the league to deal with this week. He could wreck this game.

 

I'll take the Bills to win it 21-20. The difference will ultimately be who had to travel and who didn't.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but at one point, was it pointed out that McVay reads the defense for Goff presnap?

I haven't paid much attention to him last year but that's basically what his knock was going into that Super Bowl. That he was basically a robot programmed by McVay and he couldn't do the necessary QB things himself.

I didn’t know that. That’s interesting though. The Bills defense provides a lot of disguise pre-snap. But McVay is a genius, they say

Tough game for the Rams.  They wanted to stay on the east coast, but the league said no.

The 49ers are staying east for their back to back games in NJ.  I wonder why allow the 9ers but not the Rams?  Is the league now favoring the Bills.  Figure they owe us after 25  years of getting hosed.

When can we expect an update on Milano or Edmunds? I feel down about Buffalo winning this game without them.

 

Same here. If they are out then the Bills will have to win a shootout. Maybe Josh can throw for 500 yards and 5 TD's this week.

This will not be an easy game.

 

The key is going to be stuffing the run and putting good, solid chucks on their WRs. You absolutely must disrupt the timing of their passing offense and keep Goff from getting into a rhythm.

 

I feel pretty secure in knowing that they’ll have a plan to limit Aaron Donald (obviously you aren’t going to neutralize him completely), so WRs and TEs winning 1-1 matchups will be critical.

 

Ramsey is by far their best corner; I wouldn’t feel great about leaving Hill or Darious Williams on Smoke without help. Johnson is a solid safety—loved him coming out of BC a few years ago—but man coverage isn’t his strongest asset.

 

I’m thinking that Bease can get some volume early and often, which would force either the ILBs to loosen up and open more opportunities for the backs, or Johnson to walk down closer to the box and leave Smoke 1-1.

Looks like the Rams starting LG will miss this game which could be significant for us. Hopefully Oliver and Jefferson can have huge games and wreck some plays up the middle. 

 

Also sounds as if Rams' fans aren't expecting Akers to play much this week with his rib injury. Will be Brown/Henderson in the backfield with the obligatory carries for Kupp and Woods mixed in.

Akers - torn rib cartilage 

Brown- broken finger ( surgery but will play)

Why wont it be an easy game? 

 

Our offense is unstoppable 

We could just as easily run them out of the building if we stop the fumbles 

 

I'm expecting us to jump on them quickly 

 

Their oline is banged up

Their RBS are banged up

 

We have ***** Josh Allen!!!

Yep they use the WR In the run game and use 2-3 TEs to facilitate that as well, they ran the ball 76 times the first 2 weeks. They use RBBC which could be impacted with two guys banged up as well as the LG

Supposedly the Pats showed a look prior to 10 sec on the play clock and then switched after that when the radio comm to the QB went silent.  That seemed quite plausible based on how the game went.

I heard this somewhere unless it was in a dream...if a team is traveling like the 9ers and have a back-to-back, they are required to stay put.

Poyer and Hyde do that without it being a part of the gameplan. Belichick has mentioned it a few times when talking about our secondary - how they can basically change the coverage without seeming to communicate.

Because they are a very talented team with a good coach that has been playing good football.

 

The Bills are very good; they haven’t earned the reputation as a world beater because they beat the Jets by 10 and Dolphins by 3.

It is the choice of the team. McDermott actually chose to come back East in between west coast games as well when the schedule was being made but it didn’t work out that way with back to backs . McVay also chose not to stay in between eagles/Bills. Eagles fly in on Saturday

Dude... 

 

NOBODY CAN STOP US! NOBODY!!

 

I'm predicting Allen goes for 400 again and we win with ease

44-20. I like the optimism but the Rams look like the team from 2 years ago at least offensively. This game will most likely be a shootout that is a back and forth affair. I will say 34-31 Bills but I wouldn't be shocked if the Bills lose. Especially if our LB's are still out.
