It’s the blue on blue uniforms against a blue primary color home team that’s the problem. Are the Rams wearing something special?

Rams are in white tops yellow pants (already announced via rams official email) and bills are in blue tops with white pants (saw this confirmed somewhere but can’t remember where)

As long as they NEVER go white on blue.  That combo is cursed

So is Allen catching a pass in a game.

 

Incidentally, I believe every time he has caught a pass was wearing white on blue.  Arizona, Texans and Titans.

Update for Thursday:

‘Mostly sunny and hot, with a high near 98.’

 

sure not football weather

I think you're looking at the weather forecast for Los Angeles. SoFi Stadium is in Inglewood (still technically LA) which is closer to the coast, which is always cooler. The forecast high for Thursday that I read for that area is 86˚. That means by kickoff, it should drop to around 80˚.

I’m not sure it returns the correct value for the stadium, but i searched for inglewood, ca at noaa and this what i pulled:

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=33.9618&lon=-118.3565#.YxTWxhApC-o

Shows 95 for inglewood

 

If you scroll down, there is a small map that shows it over Inglewood —- but I’m only vaguely familiar with that area/exact location of the stadium.

record HEAT in socal right now. Cash registers crashing in grocery stores hot.  Gosh I hope it cools down for the game. For the teams AND the fans. Better bring your sunscreen while you're at it.

 

I know it will be a consideration on Thursday I really hope it cools down

I may be in the minority, but I'd MUCH rather be too hot than too cold.  Maybe it's because I'm getting old or something, but I haven't been to a Bills game past October since the first time i brought my wife to Buffalo for the Monday night Bills vs Browns game on November 17th, 2008.  

Sadly, the temp was actually 33 degrees at kickoff, yet I had on long johns, a big ol parka, scarf, hat, gloves, I had hand warmers in my gloves, hand warmers in my boots.....

 

And I was STILL miserable.

well Im not as stressed about how heat will effect the game as I was before . The Bills will deal with it. As will the fans.

 

as I was driving just now I thought "you know why no one is really mentioning weather for the game except a few posters. It's because WNYers don't gripe or worry that much about inclement weather They just DEAL WITH IT. No fanfare ,no hooplah nada.  It just is what it is 

 

I Love that about WNYers too :-))) m

I think it's safe to say, re: one of the tweets above, that Von Miller will be cheered at SoFi.  He deserves to be, and it would be real, real petty if fans were to boo him just for going to the Bills.

I've been to both of the Bills games played in Los Angeles since the return of football to LA, and the Bills players themselves have said it felt like a home game. There's a ton of Bills fans here, many of them transplanted WNYers like myself.

 

I'll say also, LA fans are some of the most ambivalent in the league, IMO.

 

Von will be cheered, and so will the rest of the Bills.

The boos, if there are any, will be drowned out

I heard a guy complaining on Tik Tok that a parking pass for the Rams final preseason game was 100 bucks.  Can you even imagine?

I honestly can't.  Did he park in Oakland because I'm guessing that pass probably cost closer to $250 at SoFi.

I can confirm that…my brother was at the Rams preseason week 2 and he paid $100 for parking.  I was at Buffalo preseason week 2 and paid $10.

Not sure if it's been addressed but is the game gunns be on Amazon being Thursday night? Or no, since it's 'SNF On Thurs'.

 

Proli in minority here but hoping it's on Amazon for 4k. The preseason game on Amazon 4k last week was absolutely beautiful on the new tv

It’s on NBC

I just rewatched the highlights from the Rams game a couple years ago and a few things stood out


- If a team takes a big lead early in a game, then the refs always favor the team that is down to keep it close. I’m not even very conspiracy-minded, but this always seems to happen.

- That interception call on the contested catch with Kroft was insane. How could they have reviewed that and let the INT stand?! Tie goes to the runner dummies!

- McDermott and Frazier have a recurring problem of playing soft with the lead and having it come back to bite them. This game was 28-3 halfway through the third quarter. Hopefully this year they have found their killer instinct and go for the jugular.

- The defensive PI that allowed the Bills to score the game winning TD was also a garbage call. I think probably a makeup call in the back of their minds from the garbage INT call earlier.

- Cole Beasley was very clutch in this game. One of his best.
