GMFB going around the table on the question of whether the Bills are overhyped and basically going around the table and saying no, last person basically just saying that they the how the Super Bowl talk has just been relentless and anything less would be a disappointment.


Jamie isn’t downplaying the Bills 

just the Everybody in the Universe is picking them. 
 

(I just watched the segment on the 2nd pass)

Umm, so when does the team fly out? Ordinarily, I think it would be Wednesday, but being the first game of the season and across the country, I could see leaving earlier than normal.

I would guess either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Not sure but today is the first injury report of the week so feels like there is practice tomorrow and then they might fly out tomorrow night

I’m glad you’re on this. Somebody needs to pay attention to the details.

Yeah baby. VIP!

Nice.  We didn’t go with the VIP this time.  Most of my buddies didn’t feel like the benefits were worthy of double the price unless you can’t drink beer or seltzer. 
 

i think the price of the last bills @rams party was 40 or 50 for regular and 60-70 for VIP.  We bought Vip which allowed 1 hour earlier entrance…,but still had to wait on the hour long beer line.  We left early and went to a pizza place along the way just so we could get beer.  

 

Hopefully they party planners get it right this time.

A couple of friends of mine guilted me into VIP, plus I wanted good drinks/wine for my better half. Maybe I’ll get a photo with Eric Wood lol.

issue being in a starting rotation

Thad Brown. What a dork. Trying to create controversy where none is. Dumb. Poor rookie DBs prefer less exposure! Game #1 as a pro vs. SB champs. They probably prefer a bit less exposure in game #1

 

Expect 1 big burn + 1 big blown coverage on Thu (ala Hill)

Temperature at game time 85* falling to 75* by end. It has been hotter than ***** out here.


I get that it’s hot 🥵 there and you guys are “suffering” 

 

its 95 in MIAMI for the month of September!!!!  
 

95 - 100 degrees is normal weather for a handful of teams. 

 

CHILL on the 85 degrees 

 

It’s not a good look. 😂 😝 😜

I feel for you. 
95 plus for 45 days straight kinda sucks. 
 

but these temps are not that big a deal for the players

Check out this guy Matt Bowen's Twitter.

He's apparently a DB coach and he's got a bunch of plays in there showing how the Rams attack Cover2 with Kupp

 

 

 

They certainly made it look easy in these examples against the 9ers, Seasnakes, and Packers.

After reading King's column and his mentioning of Rams DC Raheem Morris got me thinking about what a great first test for Dorsey.  

 

Staley's concepts are still used by the Rams.  2 of the best defensive players in the game we have to contend with in Donald and Ramsey.  2 very good MLBs.  

 

But very meh everywhere else.  

 

So all eyes on you Ken.  

 

I think running the ball is going to be tough.  If we can avoid Donald going ballistic, we should have time to throw and lay it on them.  

 

Big games needed from Knox and Davis.

Obviously, McDermott and Frazier are aware of what McVay does.  Hopefully, they have some ways to counter it.  The Bills are capable of running press man, man and other kinds of zone coverage, ant McDermott is a master of disguising coverage.  It is not going to be a straight cover 2 the whole game.

As I mentioned upthread, Inglewood is not so far from the coast. It should be around 80˚ max by kickoff, and it is a dry heat. I haven't been to SoFi yet, but I assume there will be some temperature mitigation on the field, as well. I don't think the temperature is going to be a factor at all.

Kromer is also very familiar with the rams offensive concepts

I honestly didn't think of this. Wonder if this will help at all. 

During practice and film study, I would guess so. 

 

In the actual game, who knows. 

 

I always remember a game where Favre used the defenses knowledge of their playbook again them.  Granted it was one play but pretty sure it won them the game vs the Vikings.
