I don't think we can stop them. The Bills are very powerful on offense. Any drive that doesn't result in a TD is a win for the Rams. If we can hold them to a FG, get a turnover, whatever. Try to force Allen or Cook to fumble the ball. Just contain the damage and give the offense a chance to strike back. The game could be like the famous 54-51 MNF game vs the Chiefs. This is one of those games where one team could suddenly score 3 TDs in a row in one quarter and come storming back, so don't give up if we get way behind or get too overconfident if we are ahead at halftime.

You know, even if we lose I feel good about this team. We've had some injuries that have definitely affected the defense. No Garrett. When Watson when down it sure seemed like the secondary regressed after the Giants game. Donald was out. Ferguson's on the IR. Parkinson was out. Puka missed a couple games.
When these guys get back and healthy I believe this will be one formidable team. Will it be enough to secure a bye after the early season losses? I don't know. But these guys are battle tested. Even if they have to play on the road they will tough to beat.
Of course if we beat Buffalo then its on!

Or like the 2024, 44-42 Rams/Bills game!!!
It's early. 4 games into the season. 13 games remaining. I've heard we should just forget about earning the bye but I'll wait to see how the season plays out. San Fran is looking really good right now. But the NFL season has a way of fooling prognosticators. San Francisco was 4-1 last year and finished 12-5. They were 5-0 in 2023 and finished 12-5. I think it's a good idea to wait to see how things play out.
I have thrown that out the window. Not just because of the 2-2 start, but primarily because McVay teams don’t seem to hold up well as a front runner.
It’s that adversity thing at work. His Rams are laser focused and just better in that mindset it seems.
Of course a #1 seed is still a possibility, but the way the landscape looks today? Im just hoping we can somehow win the division.
Anyway, back to week 5 of 17.
Let’s start a win streak on Monday night.

That info scares me more than BUF!!
Looking like Rams 31 Bills 24 approximately,Buffalo allowed:
31 pts to Houston (#14 Offense by yards, #20 by points)
31 pts to Detroit (#6 by yards, #5 by points)
16 pts to the Chargers (#21 by yards, #29 by points)
29 pts to New England (#16 by yards, #30 by points)
Buffalo scored
36 pts vs Houston (#20 by yards; #27 by points)
41 pts vs Detroit (#32 by yards; #31 by points)
24 pts vs LA Chargers (#16 by yards; #24 by points)
26 pts vs N. England (#6 by yards; #7 by points)
The Rams Offense is #2 by yards; #19 by points.
The Buffalo Defense is #27 by yards; #25 by points
The Rams defense is #2 by yards; #10 by points
The Buffalo offense is #8 by yards; #1 by points
The numbers suggest the offense should flourish vs the Bills D and the defense will be tested by the Bills offense. The Rams need to eliminate the turnovers on O and get some turnovers on D. Simple right?

SEA plays SF. If SEA wins and we win... then...
Rams -2.5 Home field advantage.
I go with the usual. Limit turnovers, protect Stafford, TDs over FG etc...........Bills defense has had problems with weaker teams.
We know Allen can beat you with his arm and legs. Keep him guessing and get pressure.
It could get down to special teams. The Rams have been trying to get better. This could be the week we see improvement.

Yea I think the bigger thing anyways is just winning the division.
So much of who comes out on top is luck....and given how close we and Seattle were last year, when you look at one team getting to stay at home for the duration of the playoffs and then the other flying from LA to Carolina, LA to freezing Chicago and then LA to Seattle, that can't be ignored IMO.
We must avoid that again. Even if we dont end up with the bye, we must win the division this year to at least get one home game and avoid having to travel three consecutive weeks which is going to be nearly impossible for teams on the west coast. Few wildcard teams have made the Super Bowl, period, and I'm fairly certain the ones that did, didn't have to travel nearly as far as we would have to
Absolutely true. But they've also outscored the last three 78 to 56 (and 7 of that was a pick 6). If the offense could click even better (read: like they're expected to do), the defense is already nearing scary for offenses. I imagine once the two beasts are playing together, they could be beyond scary.

I think momentum from the win in Philly, the long week to heal and prep, another week of addressing ST issues, the Bills being an AFC team, and playing in Sofi will combine for an easier win than many think.
I feel like the play showing up in our actual stats will start paying dividends.

Bills have one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL.
This game feels like it will be high scoring.
So that means it probably will be 16-10.

I watched a little of the Patriots versus bills game on replay. I agree the Bill secondary looked absolutely horrid with Pats receivers open all over the place. Wish we had park in Ferguson back, but I feel good about our offense against their defense. 31 points should do it.
Get by the Bills and I could see round about the bye looking back and saying, "damn, 8-2. The Frisco loss we earned but it should really be 9-1 if not for that stupid fucking DPI in Denver!!!!"
The Higbee renaissance has been a cool side story, showing the young pups in the room how it’s done.
Someone sprinkle some health dust on the big guy too please. Keep it rolling.
Yep. I've always been a fan but he's been espescially excellent thus far. I dont want that to change but we really need this current version of Higbee in the post-season. I hope Parkinson, Allen and Klare can play well enough to pick up some more of the TE snaps so that Big Rig can keep truckin' all year
I think the good guys offense will be rolling Monday night. Expect a lot of points scored. 42-35 Rams win.
Did you watch much of the last game against PHILLY??
Shula had an excellent game plan,not sure you can complain much. Agree that FISKE hasn’t played as well as he can.
I think your FORGETTING a even more a TOTALLY other player who comes back as FRESH as he has for awhile.
