To be fair, refs missed a false start on Havenstein on a key conversion that would have made it third and 17.

The missed false start on Havenstein was on the 4th and five completion to Atwell on the Rams' last TD drive.

The missed false start should have been called. But there were lots of calls against us that should NOT have been called either. The refs suck. In the future AI will almost have to be used for penalties. It would be a lot more fair than what we have now. If it's calling too many penalties, then dial back the settings. If its not calling enough penalties, then bring it up a notch.

Amazing, thrilling and exhilarating win. I was in an area of the state with fickle internet connection so luckily this was the FOX national game. Tom Brady pronounced Havenstein’s name so many ways that I forgot how it’s actually pronounced.

I definitely had my doubts going in to this game. Mostly because we had yet to beat one of the “top dog” teams this year.

Allen is a great QB, and he almost pulled it off.

But I think this was the kind of game the Rams brass envisioned this offseason: defense is a work in progress but offense can run and shoot with anybody when firing on all cylinders

Yeah, I hate to admit it but Brady wasn’t actually half bad in this game. He had good insight on the QBs, route running, and game management. The heavy offensive output and elite quarterback play made it the perfect game for him for him to call.

He really was excited and sounded like he was having fun.

I hate to give Brady any credit, but he was right. Bills having to take a time out was horrible coaching awareness. Have to believe that will be the blame
He is more enjoyable as a color guy than as a player, that's for sure.
He some good insight into QB play....no surprise there I guess.

Tutu was out there some with Kupp and Nacua due to D-Rob's injury. D-Rob came back into the game later, but we continued to use Tutu. I believe it was on here that I said it. Tutu is going to be most effective when you can put him in motion before the snap, but McVay prefers to motion Kupp and Puka. D-Rob tends to operate like a traditional X. That's why it's hard to just insert Tutu into the lineup. But I think he should be playing more. He's been separating and catching the ball well. Plus, nobody else at WR offers his speed.
Even if he is not getting the ball he does some good work clearing things out. He runs deep and other guys run stuff underneath quite a bit. Defenses have to respect his speed.
I would like Tutu to be used more....in fact I was often called out on this site for stating this through last year and the off season....but, he has his role. I was not sold on Robinson, but, he too has his skill set and contributes in a big way.
There are roles for all four.
Tutu and Robinson have both delivered more often than not when called on.
Ive been impressed with both of them.
Robinson being so effective in the deep red zone is a direct cause of having Kupp and Puka in there because they demand so much attention in the deep red zone. But, Robinson is good at getting quick separation and that serves him well on short quick throws like you get inside the 10. He is also a determined blocker.
I hope the Rams resign Tutu.
I think the Rams WR room with Kupp, Puka, Robinson, Tutu and Whittington can be a special one.
I could certainly see a role for Tutu where he is getting 50 + yards a game and be a key contributor, as we have seen several times this year.
A key thing that frees it up for all of them is play action off of the running game.
I would for sure get him on Ward on Thursday and take a couple of shots.
Ward cannot run with him.

What a great game but...OMG. The refs need to go fuck themselves with that bullshit.
There were bad calls on both sides.
The call on Young was a bad call but QBs are going to get that call....esp star QBs. The ball was gone, Young has to be smart enough to hold up....then lines up offsides on the next play.
The worst of the bunch was the two PI with Robinson. I don't know if Ive ever seen that call. A push off? Maybe. Blatant PI on the D? Yes.

Allen may be the most physically gifted QB of all time.
The Rams beat a very good Vikings team as well.

I had the sound on mute from the beginning so Brady wouldn't ruin the game for me. Looks like I missed some decent commentary.

I always watch Rams' games with the sound off because the announcers usually piss me off.

However, I also tape games; and re-watch the wins several times ... with the sound on.

Analysts rarely provide me with useful information (sideline reporters NEVER do). Some analysts, I have just heard for far too long (Collinsworth and Schlereth); or, I feel do not even try (Romo). The best an analyst can usually do is not annoy me.

In the case of Tom Brady, I have hated him for so long (because he was so fucking good and the Rams lost two Super Bowls to his team), I just don't want to listen to him speak. Plus, I think he has a weak voice which can be annoying.

All that being said, when I re-watched Sunday's game with the sound on, I thought Brady was fair and excellent with his analysis. Still hate the guy but ... in my opinion ... he was really good on Sunday's broadcast.

Late to the party but I just returned back to Ontario from California today. WHAT A GAME! So glad I dropped the money to see it live in prime seats. 1-0 seeing the Rams in L.A.! Hoping to make it a bi-annual tradition, with exceptions for any big playoffs games the Rams might host in which case all bets are off! SoFi Stadium is incredible. So many Bills fans on the plane to and from Los Angeles, naturally, coming from Southern Ontario as Buffalo is a short drive away. Boy was it great sporting my Rams gear the entire time!

Stafford, Nacua, and Kupp are animals. The o-line was great. Their best game this season IMO. Stafford was kept clean and #9 more than made good on it. I thought the reffing was awful but we overcame it. Love Tutu more and more each game, his hands have become so much more reliable vs. early in his career. Kyren Williams was fantastic but Corum, yet again, showed he deserves more work. Nothing against KW. The defense obviously needs work but it did come up huge a few times That goal line stop was crucial, forcing Buffalo take a time out to nearly seal it. McVay's best game of the year bar none, and the player sure helped him out with execution on this week.

Josh Allen is obviously MVP calibre, and that Bills o-line looked elite to me, so when you combined the two I do not think the Bills will be done contending any time soon. Our d-line had almost no pressure, which is nuts given how they have played this year.

Very cool. Saw Rams at NE this year. Gonna try to get to SoFi next year.

2 very important questions:
What % were Rams fans vs Bills fans?
How much was a beer at SoFi?
