Last time the late afternoon Rams game was televised in my coverage area I missed the entire first quarter because the early game went to overtime. I went over to my Sunday Ticket channel and the game was blacked out there due to being on "local" channel. That better never happen again. It sucked big time donkey dick....oops I mean elephant dick.... oops......I mean it just sucked.
You're lucky if you missed pretty much ANY first quarter of a Rams game this year. :)

Lots of Bills fans in town. Frustrating. But when your city is a destination travel spot, with great weather, a brand new stadium that is best in the NFL, has an entire generation of local fans that support a different franchise because the hometown had no NFL team when they were growing up, and you're hosting a cold weather opponent in December that is contending for a Super Bowl... this is going to happen. The wife and I made the trip from Ontario, Canada though - it is not just Bills fans flying in from the northeast. This will be my first game at SoFi. Hoping on an upset!

Weather is just to good here this weekend. No way buffalo will know how to handle it. Buffalo will turn the ball over 4 times.

I don't consider this game to be make or break. A loss and there is still a path to winning the division. But probably no room for error. We'd likely have to win out the last 4. A win and it sure gets better.

Bills have a great back averaging 4.7 YPC.
They have a great running QB with a cannon arm.
They have receivers that are very good against zone.
The Bills have scored over 30 points in 6 straight games.
The Bills seem to excel where the Rams struggle.
I don't see anyway the Rams win this game.
I don't see a way the Rams keep it close really.
I think Bills along the lines of 38-16 or maybe worse......then, the Rams win out.
I see it more like 31-23. A late TD in garbage time to make it look closer than it is. But I'd bet money the halftime score will be close.

Just bring it baby!!! We need Shula to dial up a really good defensive scheme on this one...keeping in mind that "big arm" Allen can and will run. That guy is one of the toughest QBs out there since Elway, who I think was the gamest QB out there!!!

Stafford's is far from a slouch...in fact, I think he's disrespected. The guy can throw with anyone out there and still has a big arm! My main worry this game is "the McVay scheme". How does he go after the Bills defense? I think he has to be thinking ball control, and I hope he's gonna run Williams and Corum, but also not forget his TE in this game. Get some screens too...KEEP the Bills off balance and don't get too cute. Lastly...DON'T LEAVE POINTS OFF THE BOARDS!!! Take the FG when it's there!!!

The Rams have a tough task no doubt. They make a huge statement with a win.

GO RAMS!!!

Eh, Philly was clearly a better team. We saw how lopsided that one turned out. Buffalo is clearly a better team. Could be another lopsided affair. But you know what? When expectations for a win are so low I don't feel the anxiety I felt against some other teams. I don't expect a win. So no big deal if they lose.

If we're trying to find a silver lining here, last week's win made this one less make or break. If we lose there is still a clear path to the division. We play all three division rivals over the last 4 games with a beatable team in the Jets in the mix.

And who knows? This could the classic trap game. A team that just exhaled over winning the division going against a clearly lesser team. It would be easy to look past the Rams and look forward to the Lions game a week later. And then there is that any given Sunday thing.
everyone keeps saying that this likely will be a Bills blowout-but why are they only favored by -3.5?? I think like 90% of the bets are on the Bills to cover..are the bookies that stupid?

Cosell is the best most accurate analyst in the media. No bias, no bullshit.
I feel like he’s one of the few heads left that is outside of the modern media network hype train narrative driven machine.

Always a good listen.

Wish the same here @OntarioRam.

And, should you ... "accidentally" ... spill a beer or two ... maybe some loaded nachos on a couple loud Bills' fans ... Well, accidents happen.
Or spilled chocolate ice cream on a fan (in front of you) Buffalo Bills cashmere sweater!
I confess I did that in 1973...lol
