    Tough game, looks like.

    Do the Rams have a running game?

    Vegas has the Bills -2.5.

    Super Bowl champions are 19-1 opening the following season over the past 20 years.

    You’re not fooling anyone.

    Isn’t the real issue in the Rams Bills game the Buffalo secondary versus Stafford, Robinson, Higbee and Akers?

    Me note: Aaron Kromer now coaches for Buffalo, his son coaches for the Rams

    We’re off to LA for the #NFL Season Opener! Who do you have winning, #Bills or #Rams ? With my Dad on one side and my Brother on the other, I’m cheering for the offense

    People forget: Darrell Henderson arguably had the best game of his career against the Bills in 2020.

    Henderson rushed for 114 yards on 20 carries in that game and played a huge rule in the Rams coming back from 28-3.

    The Bills had one good win last year. They beat a slumping KC team in Week 5. Lost to TB, lost to IND, lost to TEN.

    Allen is a QB who makes a lot of ‘wow’ plays, but analytics wise (EPA, DYAR, DVOA, etc), he’s barely in the top-10, let alone the top-5.

    Bobby Wagner on Josh Allen: “He’s not looking to go out of bounds, he’s not looking to shy away from contact. As a defender, you appreciate it (respect it). You just understand that when he’s out of the pocket, you gotta treat him like a RB.” Adds even when he’s hit, he has the

    arm to still get the ball where it needs to go through the contact, and, “it’s one thing when the QB runs, it’s another thing when they design the runs for him because he’s that good at it. That’s the thing you gotta be conscious of – they have a lot of misdirection stuff; you

    hink it’s going to the running back (or) the receiver and really it’s for him. You watch, toward the end of the season, when it was a critical moment they put the ball in his hand whether it was throwing the ball, getting a first down or even on fourth down. It’s just being

    conscious, never losing sight – he will run the ball if he has to.”

    The Rams defense needs to be opportunistic this week. Much like Matthew Stafford, Josh Allen will put up some “what was he thinking” throws. Has that gunslinger in him. Allen ranked top-5 in turnover worthy plays in 2021 and was the 4th luckiest QB in adjusted INTs.

    that’s a worry of mine.  that and the oline.  and edge rushing depth.

    i don’t think this gets talked about enough.  i hear a lot of hype around allen.  but aside from being a physical specimen, how is he really at qb?  i haven’t watched him play, but his passer rating took a big hit last year.  92.2 which was only good for 16th in the league…  just a bad year?  maybe.  but he’s only really had one good year.  not saying that the bills can’t win with him at qb.  i’d think he’s at least good enough to win with.  but people talk about him like he’s patrick mahomes.  i’m not so sure.

    I’m bothered by the Rams being 2.5 point home dogs to the “ain’t done nothin” Bills.

    I hope the D is too…

    Not for nothing, but their OC from last year is now the Giant’s HC.  That has to hurt them a bit, I hope.

    Bills lead series 8-5

    Bills have won 4 of last 5.

    Defense has been torched the last two games, it looks like.    I would think with all of OJ’s problems they could slow him down this year.  I dunno.

    I don’t think OJ will even be a factor in this game. I don’t watch the Bills play very often, but I can’t remember the last time I saw OJ catch a rental car.

    Things I’m most curious about w/ the Rams tonight and this season: – how the OL holds up without Big Whit – how are Kupp & A-Rob used formationally and situationally – is Cam Akers a workhorse – who steps up with Von Miller gone – what happens at CB
