PREGAME Pregame Thread: Bills @ Rams

[Merlin]

Rams are riding a run game surge at the right time, given that the only chance they have in hell of beating this Buffalo team is if they execute the old "control the clock on offense and keep the explosive offense off the field" strategy. This is a time tested and proven way of beating a team with a superior offense. Giants did this shit to the Bills in the Super Bowl same way Belicheat did it to us.

Bills are shitty as hell vs the run. They're ranked 30th with 4.9 ypc allowed. Only teams shittier than them are New Orleans and NYG. Rams don't look great stat-wise given the way this season has gone, but right now they look like a solid run game team. Look these guys a player at a time up front and they should be dominant running the ball.

So can they do this? Can they successfully "chill" the Buffalo offense with long clock-eating drives and timely stops on defense? Doubtful of course. But you never know in the NFL and it's why they play the games.

Any given sunday. The Bills have been on a roll. They have beaten the 2 SB teams. They are looking at the Top SB contender in the NFC @ Detroit after the Rams and It is a long trip. It is hard for an NFL team to keep the intensity and focus from game to game especially when things are going good for a long time and they just squashed their last opponent.

The Rams Oline is starting to gell. The D is getting turn overs. I think the Rams win. The Rams are on the run to the Playoffs.

Agreed with @Merlin , let’s punch them in the mouth early and run the ball down their throat to set up play action pass. It’s a lot to ask as we never start hot, but it’s never too late to bust this habit.

We should be looking forward to getting a lead and letting our pass rushers do their thing. It’s what they’re best at!

@Merlin dude we got all kinds of BS going on in other threads you’re bringing up F’n football?

Haha I got one for you bs’n with a co worker. One Bills fan down stairs today I f’d with. He’s a welder. He’s welding his ass off and I come to “ Hey man did you piss someone off in the front office? They called me up to give this to you.”

He’s like wtf on his face and puts down his stuff and gloves, “no why should I be worried?”

I gave him this envelope, he opens it up and it’s this picture

with me saying “ WE ARE ABOUT TO BEAT THAT ASS THIS WEEK!!”

Doesn’t sound to funny now but his brother and another co worker came over and started hollowing after he opened it up especially with his worried face he had. Haha

I smell an upset because of this. I wouldn’t doubt McVay deploys six OL. Might as well play Jonah for all he is getting paid. Run run run and then run some more. Then you can play action them in the 2nd half. You have to settle for FGs early if the opportunity is there. I like going for it on 4th but we are not going to beat them chasing points. You beat them in a low scoring slobberknocker.

The rams have to play ball control. If we can sustain long drives and keep their offense on the sidelines we have a fighting chance. If we have another slow start it's gonna be a long afternoon for our young team

The Horns have to find a way to win - not just to keep our playoff hopes alive, but also to light a huge competitive fire to convert all of our guys into a Rampaging herd hellbent on mass destruction. Then we can proceed to sweep the '9ers, Jets, the Redbirds, and the 'Hawks in a domino-esque cascade. As long as we remain healthy at key positions, who really wants to face a confident Horns squad in the playoffs

 

[Ramstien]

Call me an eternal optimist but I have a good feeling about this game. If the Rams can beat the Vikings, they can also beat the Bills. Also have a feeling the Bills may be looking past the Rams. Another reason I believe the Rams can beat them is by using the ground Chuck approach.

 

[Tumak61]

Every week is must win if the Rams are going to make the playoffs.

 

[majrleaged]

They should be in playoff mode right now.

 

[Alaskan Ram]

The last time the Rams played a game on my birthday it was a magical game I'll never forget.
And Jim Morrison was also born on my birthday.

I think this is the game they "break on through to the other side".

Let's GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as i want to hate him, i have to admit he's pretty smooth.

I didn’t know if Buffalo fans travel well (let alone have money to do so), but if they have the means - why the heck would you stay in the crazy snow right now. Take a trip to 75 degree SoCal and watch your team play in one of the greatest football stadiums. It’s a no brainer. Hate to say it, but I expect a lot of Bill fans Sunday at Our House.

 

[Rams8821]

Rams win, thats it!

 

[snackdaddy]

I don't expect a win. Didn't expect one with Philly and we got blown out. Some teams are just clearly better than us. But we do have that any given Sunday thing. And the hope that the Bills exhaled after winning their division and might have a bit of a let down.
