This is the first Bills game in over a decade that I'll be watching in an EST time zone.  I'm so used to games starting at 7AM on Sundays or 2-2:30PM for primetime games.  

 

I don't even know what to do with myself anymore.

Hope to see the refs let them play and not call holding too much on some of the ticky tack stuff on the DB's. Either way probably will see Elam get flagged for holding a couple times.

 

Hopefully he's gotten better at not making it too obvious....


unfortunately 

the Refs are flag happy in September 

 

to set a precedent  😣

We were there and Sal went too hype. Great showing by Bills fans but we were able to get into bars without much trouble and were there for most of the time. Have to use the Titans game a few years ago as a benchmark for Bills fans road game takeover. Nonetheless, very interested in % Bills fans attending today. 

I don’t think the number of Bills fans at a road game will ever surpass what we have seen in Nashville the last few games there.  Just incredible.

So if I understand it, Florio is predicting that the Rams win and maybe the Bills lay an egg because their coaching staff is breaking under the combined weight of press expectations and the Matt Araiza incident?

 

Florio seems to have gone into his nit picking for weakness phase of covering the Bills, at least that's what makes, him reporting a two year old story that wasn't a big deal then like it is now, make sense to me.

Yeah. Me thinks Florio has issues with Sims man crush on Josh..

I hate the Rams. I really do. I previously didn’t care about them but right now I hate them and mcvay’s stupid middle school hair and Frat Stafford. Dude always looks bored as hell and can’t even bother to help a photographer  who falls off a stage taking a picture at his own parade. I bet Chad hall secretly hates him too and has been stealing ***** from their house and getting him wasted on family vacation so he spills the tea on their plays.

Florio seems to think the Rams are going to catch everyone off guard and go run heavy due to limiting the passes for Stafford 

 

 

 

So prediction is that Stafford's elbow will be "just fine" from Day 1

What about any effect of limited practices with his WR under a new OC in what seems to be more of a classic, WCO timing-based offense?

 

OK, here's another Q.  A lot of the national media seems to be zeroing in on question marks of Ken Dorsey as the Bills new OC

 

But, the Rams also have a new OC - Liam Coen after Kevin O'Connell left to take up the HC job for the Minnesota Vikings.  Yet I'm hearing 🦗 about the Rams change in OC being a concern.  Has anyone else heard anything about this?

 

And if not, Why?  Is it assumed that McVay is the chief architect of the Rams offense and anyone with the OC title is just his dingleberry?  Yet, it would seem odd that his OC's keep getting plucked as HC candidates if that's so.

You can stop right there.  No further justification is needed.

 

But if you insist, #1 reason to loathe the Rams is that Stan Kroenke is a slimy sack of ***** who deserves to sink to the bottom of a sewage lagoon.

And if you ply me with alcohol, I'll tell you what I really think of him.

Yeah, I kinda lost some of the respect I did have for him myself.

Simms is kind of an "equal opportunity man crush'er" though.  He has man-crushes on most of today's top QBs.

FIFY

 

I actually thought that Stafford deserved a Superbowl ring after a literal decade + spent exiled to the septic NFL Siberia that Detroit has been during that time.

 

But the reporter stage incident and Stafford's reaction left me flat as an 24 hr open Labatts.

I'm waiting to see if, unlike Daboll over the past few seasons, Dorsey has four running backs active tonight (plus Gilliam).

I don't believe that the Bills gave Zack Moss a bunch of valuable training camp and preseason red zone reps with the starters just to have him inactive on game days. 

I still suspect they may change their modus operandi this year and use all three of Singletary (between the 20s), Cook (3rd downs and passing game), and Moss (red zone and short yardage) on game days.

We'll find out soon enough!

Can I hate the Rams and love Cooper Kupp's game at the same time?

Yeah, it kinda showed something about his character to me. Definitely wasn't a good look for sure....

I was thinking about their OC change too and yes I think that mcvay runs that entire side of the ball including the play calling so it’s less of a question mark. I’m not sure what his OC does or why they keep getting HC jobs other than that they are associated with him.

I agree. I'm curious to see this also. Kinda makes me think he will if only due to the way they spoke of Cook. Interesting to see if Devin, Moss, and Cook are active.

Yes, can definitely love good players on teams you hate, and Kupp seems to be a good guy

 

The Rams definitely have food to be ticked about all the Press the Bills are getting.  "It's Banner Night for us and all the talk is about the Bills?  ***** That Noise!"

My guess is one is inactive. 

 

I'm sticking with what I have been saying.

 

TE (Looks like Morris who is still dinged)

OL (Doyle still dinged)

DL (between Shaq and Epenesa)

LB (Spector)

DB (Lewis)

 

I might not have all the players right, but they come from those positions.

I’m interested in a lot of things tonight. First and foremost I want the usual: a win with good execution and no significant injuries. But I’m also interested in some specifics:

 

- What Dorsey’s offense looks like and how he calls plays. 
 

- How the OL has gelled and how they pass block.

 

- How do Von Miller and Rousseau work together? Both are LDEs (over RT). One has to move to RDE. I expect that to be Rousseau, but that’s not a given.

 

- How the CBs fare. It may not be a fair test for them, but it’s their first one.
 

Did I miss anything?

James Cooks role in the offense.
