PREGAME Pregame Thread: Bills @ Rams

[Tumak61]

Sofi is a destination for fans all over the country. Not a surprise. What Rams fan is going to travel to Buffalo in Winter to watch a game? Probably very few.

Going to Buffalo in December to watch my team play in the snow has always been on my bucket list. SAID NOBODY EVER.

I’d also like to see McVay draw up a few plays to get Rapp matched up on intermediate to deep routes. Could be man or zone. As a Ram, we know he was awful in this regard.

However, he was good playing in the box.

Hang on: doesn’t that mean that 63% have been bought by Rams fans?

Not exactly. Most of that 63% could be selling them as well to Bills fans. It's a mess the 2nd hand ticket market.

If the Bills aren't up 21-0 by halftime I would be blown away!

We finally have our best OL lineup of the year. They had a few games to knock off the dust and now it's time to see how good they really are against a top team.

There are just a lot of every team's fans in L.A., relative to stadium capacities.

This may be true, but they have one of the best fan bases in the NFL. I wish the city could put together a "company" like the Packers did and allow the fans to buy equity into the team. They almost moved to Toronto a few years back and may again in the future. Lots more money (and billionaires) in Toronto than in Buffalo.

I don't trust mcvay to stick to the run even if it's working. He'll inevitably go pass happy because of the "look" the defense is giving.

So instead run the ball into an 8 or 9 man front for 1 yard?

That's good strategy.

What said you "don't trust" is the way that football operates -especially at the NFL level.

Offense dicatates formation - defense formation then dictates offensive play call.

Sometimes it's more about wearing the opponent down vs getting the yardage also just because the look says don't run doesn't mean a run won't be successful. Or have you forgotten all the gms we lost because mcvay just abandoned the run because of this then blamed it on execution?

I'm just afraid they beat the Bills....
..and drop the next 3

Yes they do. You know who else has a great fan base? The Lakers and the Dodgers. The Dodgers have the most attendance of any team in MLB.
The point is, Southern California is an amazing fan base. If it wasn't, It wouldn't support having 2 NFL teams, 2 NBA teams, 2 MLB teams, 2 MLS teams, 2 Major College teams. Fucking lady owner was an idiot to leave. So was Al. So now the Rams just have to suck it up and if they keep putting up winning season, the town will be all about them.

I'd say that in a heartbeat.

I spent over a decade in my teens and twenties in and around upstate New York (in Ithaca). I would LOVE to watch my Rams beat the Bills in a snow game in Buffalo.

It often felt like I was the only damn Ram fan within a 100-mile radius. Whenever I go back to Ithaca, I'm almost always the only guy watching the Rams game in the sports bar.

That would figure wouldn't it. Sounds like some shit this year's team would pull.
